Hi Kamui-san, David-san and all! Thank you very much for the explanation! I understood clearly! Now, may be I manage to make some sentences with this expression. Mata n� Will
> Nihon niha mukashikara "maru-maru dou" to yobareru monoga arimasu. > > What is the meaning of "maru-maru"? Could someone help me in this problem? I > need other examples! I can't read the Japanese sentence. Can you send it again using Outlook Express in UTF-8 encoding? I'm not sure but my guess is that the sentence is followed by something like "(Tatoeba) sa-do, bushi-do, karate-do nado desu." If so, "maru-maru dou" means "something way" or "x way". "Maru-maru" is used for a variable component of a compound noun, like "maru-maru san" (Mr./Ms. X), "maru-maru gaisha" (X company), etc. Does it make sense to you now?
