About Dreams
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.

Japanese Language - translate


Expert: Dreams - 2/16/2009

Question
Can you translate this into Japanese"I want to be your pet."

Answer
Hello,

You would say:

私はあなたのペットになりたいです。
Watashi wa anata no petto ni naritai desu.

Of course, there are always multiple ways to say something in Japanese. Usually, pronouns are unnecessary, so you could cut off the part that says "watashi wa" (I), and if you are talking directly to a person, you could also cut off "anata no" (your).

What I wrote was polite Japanese; if you were speaking informally to someone you could either replace "desu" with "da", or remove the word entirely.

Hope that helps~
