Attempted to Google to check. Apparently my results can't make up their mind about how many n's it has, although they generally agree that it's only one word.

I tried to fiddle around with it

so the entiere word is ごめんなさい

ごめん is pronounced "gomen"

なさい is pronounced "nasai"

so it is gomen nasai in two words

also gomen alone also means "sorry" and nasai was translated to "get around" and basically I have no idea how japanese works

 

[choxorn]

I am using Japanese-Engrish dictionary on paper-u and it is risted as gomen nasai, separated-u with two n's, you foreign devil.

Well, that's, just like, your opinion, man.

Google Translate also translated "ごめなさい" (Gomenasai, only one n) as "I'm sorry" so... it has only one n and also two and maybe there's a space there?

This language is confusing.

that short version gomenasai with one n has an alternative translation gomen nasai doesn't:

"take rice"

I mean I'm confused

 

[GoodSarmatian]

Figure of speech ?
I'm sorry, take some rice as reparation.

After playing through Super Double Dragon on SNES again and sitting on the toilet where I had a life changing revelation, just like how Ben Carson did; I have come to realize that Mcguire is Donald Trump because he's a clown that throws people. Therefore, if Donald Trump becomes our next president, do not be surprised if he comes to your house and physically throws you. But it might not be as bad as a Jeb Bush presidency where he will do donuts on your lawn and your left asking yourself "Maybe he's lost on the lawn?"

Yeah this is correct.

The nasai, as far as I've learned, is for politeness. If you were being more casual, you could just say ごめん

This can be seen in other phrases like "おやすみなさい" (oyasumi nasai). You could just say oyasumi, which means good night, or you could throw in the nasai and be polite about it.

Equivalent in English would be along the lines of saying "thanks" as opposed to the more formal "thank you." I think at least.

Ah, the joy of waking up at 8 AM because you have a cold and you just cannot breathe.

[shadowplay]

(makes the sign of the cross and mumbles something in latin)

 

[MagisterCultuum]

Just say "oops, hit that by mistake."

I would also definitely ask her if she wanted to see it with you.

So I went ahead and asked her via PM yesterday, adding that if it is as good as she said we might want to catch an IMAX 3D showing together whenever she returns rather than use my free pass that expires at the end of the month

Today she replied: "Merry Christmas! I'll be back late on NYE. It's very kind of you to offer, but I'm afraid I already made plans to see it on IMAX with my boyfriend. Please don't wait to go see it on account of me! ☺️"

So, I guess she is not quite as single as I thought.

 

[The_J]

That was at least easy to figure out.

She might still be single, and just using the easy way out with you. I used to find that many girls would do the dishonest, yet non confrontational, way of getting rid of a guy they weren't interested in.

 

[Takhisis]

Either way she's not interested in you, MC.

My friggin computer died while playing a bomb defusing game on Christmas Eve.

 

[gay_Aleks]

You could say it blew up.

(Sorry.)

 

[BvBPL]

I gad planned that joke but Iran tioooo inebriated to remember to say it.

 

[gay_Aleks]

Isn't it a bit too early to get drunk? I mean, it's not even the 30th..

 

[Takhisis]

Rant: bloody heat! Waiting outside in the street for Episode VII to start (for an hour, because the cinema owners mixed up the dubbed and subtitled versions' schedules) almost melted me.
But rave. Star Wars!
