I should know your questions but I dont!! gonk Back to the books!
Anyway, number three is: Sore wo doko de kaimashita ka {formal}
Sore~ That
w(o)~ noun marker, i think you can use 'ga' instead if you are pointing out something in particular amoung other items.
doko~ where
de~ particle marking action taking place somewhere
kaimashita~ means bought; kaimasu/kau~ buy/to buy
ka~ marker showing that a question is being asked.
Because you are speaking directly to the person it is understood that you are talking to them. You can say the Japanese word for you (anata) but it isnt needed since you are addressing the person directly.
Anata wa sore w(o) doko de kaimashita ka
causal way to say the phrase with friends or a little brother~ Sore wa doko de katta?
fellow guild members plz correct anything i might have not said corrctly. i learned my japanese in the countryside (inaka).
*You can say Okay in Japanese it seems to be an international word. heh. But if you want word for word you can just say hai, ii desu and i think daijoubu But just remember that these words are used in a myriad of ways.
