japanese phrases I hear all the time...
 

I hear these japanese phrases all the time in songs...what to they mean

nani mo ka mo

dakedo

Sukoshi zutsu

I know the 2nd one is some form of "so...", and the others are quite familiar (nani means "what"), but I can't think of the exact words at the moment.

Nani is what he said "what" mo is a particle which indicates a repetition, but I can't explain it T_T

Dakedo is: however
adv. in any event, anyway
conj. how?, in what way?

Sukoshi:
すこし already; soon; more; again.
少し【すこし】 a little.

heh..i also have a lotta these questions..

taisetsuna, kitto, sonna, itta...and a whole lot more..><

I can help you with some of them...

kitto- surely; undoubtedly
sonna - such; like that; that sort of

This itta could the verb iru ( 入る ) in the Ta form (past) --> 入った (itta) which means "to insert" (I don't know the verb in english but I think is this...)

Oh.. taisetsuna is an "na adjective" which means important.

People if I'm saying something wrong, feel free to correct me.^^

I thought son'na is used to say something like "no way" or "that's not fair", right?

confusion going on in here...........-____-"

I don't know exactly, but could be. These are the meanings I've learnt of course there is a lot more. (I think... ^^)
You can also say "dameda" for "no way"

I'm confused, so which is it?

They use different words depending on the context, and they can have different pronounications, it's not quite the same as English.

nani mo kamo = all, every

dakedo = however

sukoshi = a little
zutsu = (suf) (1) apiece; each; (2) at a time

I found this in my dictionary

isnt sonna...kinda like "i see" as well as sokka.

Nanimokamo means "everything" and can have different inflections, depending on how it is used. Nanika means "something" and nanimo means everything or nothing, depending on the sentence.

Dakedo means "but" or "however" or "still"

Sukoshizutsu means "little by little"

thanks for the helpful tips!

Now it's clear... thank you all^^

WAIT WAIT WAIT!! Sonna is like konna, except konna is used for near things. It means "such a" or "such a thing as"
Nani mo ka mo- I don't think it means everything/all. Thats nanimo. Ka is added when it refers to an interrogative (question) word as a thing. If it is nani mo kamo then that's weird. I know kamo shirenai means maybe... What does kamo mean.
Sukoshizutsu makes sense though.

nani mo ka mo = anything and everything
dakedo = but
Sukoshi zutsu = little by little
taisetsuna = important
kitto = surely
sonna = such a...
itta = past time of "iku" (iku= to go)

About nani mo ka mo...
nani = what
nani mo = nothing
ka mo = maybe
nani mo ka mo = everything and anything.

But kamo may means.. nothing! lol like "noni" or that kind of word. Ayu uses often "kamo", I guess it makes the sentences a bit softer.

And about "sonna", Ayuspeed was right. But "sonna kanji" or "sonna kanji de" are often heard, and they have different meaning (they don't mean "this feeling"). they mean "kind of".

And finnaly, about "itta", it can mean a lot of things, since "iku" may be used with others verbs.

I've always wondered about dakedo... thanks :)
