Domochevsky's submission: Average Rating:
Kare wa kuruma ja arimasen. Otoko no hito desu.
Kanojo wa futotte arimasen. Yasete desu.
Kono onna no ko wa wakai desu. Kanojo wa sega takaku arimasen.
Otoko no ko wa aoiro ja arimasen. Orenji iro desu.
Anata wa binbou ja arimasen. Kane mochi desu.
Ore wa otoko no hito desu. Wakaku arimasen.


Im pretty sure i missed one or two "ja", as in "ja arimasen", in those Sentences. Im also not sure about the System behind Colors so far. (青? 青い? 青色? 青色い? 青い色?)

    -- Kare wa kuruma ja arimasen. Hey, it's a matter of course! You meant "He (a human-being) is not a car," no~, he can't be a car. -- Kanojo ha futotte IMAsen. Yasete IMASU. You just remember, like, "Futotte-Iru" and "Yasete-Iru" are the complete adjective forms. Negative forms are like "Futotte-Inai" and "Yasete-Inai" and making them polite, they're gonna be "Futotte-Imasen" and "Yasete-Imasen." -- Otoko no ko wa aoiro ja arimasen. Orenji iro desu. "This boy is not blue. He's orange?" Grammatically correct, but it means no sense.. Well, actually, your sentences are grammatically perfect. But some of them don't make good sense... I think you're getting good grammar knowledge so far. Keep trying on another exercise!

    Hm, i see... "orange" is considered a Skin Color around here. Yasete imasu... dangit, should have known that. Though i quite dont get the Tech behind "ja arimasen / arimasen / imasen" so far... when would be what used? Looks like LiveMocha is deleting lots of Linebreaks, my Text didnt look as crammed as this when i wrote it. :S By the Way, it was intended to make some of the Sentences a little weirder, just for kicks and the Fun of it. :D
