Here is some random Japanese.
すみません — “Thank you”‚ “Excuse me”
A prime example that Japanese conceptualises certain things differently‚ すみません
can actually mean “thank you” and “excuse me” at the same time when used. While
meaning a simple “excuse me” if used when (for instance) bumping into someone in
the street‚ it is also used when someone does something for you that will indebt you
to them‚ such as catching your hat and handing it back if the wind catches it‚ or fixing
some typos in an email you had wrien. Using すみません in these instances means
both “thank you for doing this for me” as well as “I’m sorry to have caused you to do
this for me” at the same time.
This is technically the polite negative of 済む‚ “to end”‚ indicating that the debt
between the two parties involved remains unseled. Variations on the theme include
the more colloquial すいません and very informal すまない and すまん.
When being specific about what you are thanking apologetically for‚ すみません follows the description in て form.
手伝えってすみません
“Thank you for helping out‚ and sorry for somehow having made you do
so.”

Oh well its more a review game to practice reading Hiragana.
They have one for katakana, but I never got around to learning it.
Once I brush up on my Hiragana I'm going to go back and learn Katakana.
私はねたいがほしいです。
^That basically means I want to go to sleep.
私 - watashi (I) は- particle wa ねたい - netai (the want to sleep) ほしい - hoshii (which means to want something) です- desu
Put it together and it basically means I want to go to sleep.
I had to look up netai again because I could only remember neru and I've forgotten how to conjugate verbs. D8
All hail kitty pig.
