AboutDreams Expertise I have been teaching myself the language for the past seven years, having consistent practice with Japanese materials. I can help translate things from English to Japanese or vice versa. I can also help you get started if you're planning on taking up the language. =) I'm most familiar with things like anime, manga, J-pop, games and so on.
Experience I began learning the language in 1999. I frequently talk with penpals and natives in Japan, as well as continually keep up practicing with authentic Japanese materials.
Question My Godfather has had a stroke. I want to call his house and ask wife "how is he feeling" "Is he able to speak better" and give her the option of good, not so good, bad.
Answer Hello,
I'm sorry to hear that, and I hope he pulls through all right.
In polite speech, you could say:
How is he feeling?
[His name] ga go-kibun wa ikaga desu ka?
[His name]がご気分はいかがですか？
She might say...
Kibun ga ii/yoku narimasu.
(He's feeling good/better.)
気分がいい/良くなります。
Is he able to speak better?
(more literally, "Is his ability to speak getting better?")
Hanasu-nouryoku wa yoku natte imasu ka?
話す能力は良くなっていますか？
It sounds silly, but there are different ways to say 'good', 'not so good' and 'bad' depending on what the context is. I assume you just want to say something along the lines of 'that's good' or 'that's bad'?
