Yea it is, and it's okay I'm half Japanese so I sometimes have that problem, but not this time! Haha

Sweet. I'm guessing "oni" must be demon and "namida" must be tear. But what's the "ni mo"? Shouldn't there be something like a "no naka" in there or am I mistaken (NOTE: HIGHLY LIKELY DX)

Yep, you're right about the first part. but "no naka" kind of physically means 'inside of'. for the 'ni mo' part, mo means also, so its saying that though humans cry tears, demons cry as well. I hope that made sense, tell me if it doesn't i'll try to reword it differently

Ok, I understand that... Though wouldn't "demo" be more appropriate, because it implies that it is unexpected? I'm not very familiar with "ni mo".

But if you put 'demo' it would mean 'but', so it would say Demons have but tears in their eyes, which doesn't make sense, haha. the 'ni' in 'ni mo' means more along the lines of tears are 'present', unlike 'naka no' which is physically inside.

Ah. Though "demo" also means "even", as in "kare demo nihongo ga wakaru": "even he understands Japanese."

But yeah, demo also means "but"; that's what I thought originally too. That's it's more common use, anyway.

Nope. 100% American, and only a couple Japanese friends, one of which has already moved back to Japan. I'm just an otaku and love learning languages, and I figured if I learn Japanese, everything else will be easy. XD

HAHA i love that you're an otaku and very true, no language will be harder to learn (in my opinion) besides Chinese. >.<

Yeah. They're offering Chinese at my school next year. But it's computerized... FAIL. DX
I wasn't planning on taking it anyway...

yes, computerized chinese education = total fail. They don't offer Japanese at my school, if they did I would pwn, haha you would too cause it seems like you know a thing or two about Japan.

Yeah... though all I really know amounts up to the knowledge of a 2nd or 3rd grader. Still, a good start at least. I hear the local community college here offers Japanese though. Oh well. I'd better stop spamming your comments here *sweat*

Haha, well my knowledge goes up to like 6th grade so I'm not much better.
and you're totally fine, you're not spamming my comments But it's really nice to hear that there is at least one otaku around.
