Japanese HW question...

[vicki]

So I'm doing some review stuff and I'm stumped on this one question.

Anata no kookoo wa nan toi imasu ka?

Maybe the spacing is wrong. Anyway, I can't figure out what they are asking.

TIA.

do you meen

anata no koukou wa nan to iimasu ka.

if so its asking "what is the name of your school"

[vicki]

yeah my textbook uses a different way of romanizing it so it looks weird.

But yeah that's what it means.

cool - thanks.

i think using the 'ou' instead of the 'oo' is a much better way of romanizing sicne it follows the way the extended 'o' is done in kana.

I totally agree.

It also gets confusing when the word ends with ee. Not sure whether it should be e e or e i. Damn **** bag.

i always do 'ei'. the pronunciation (at least in the kansai area) makes an 'ei' sound. My japanese books do romanization the way I like it. 'ou' and 'ei''. One of the best language books I've ever seen
