I knew that some of them were not very good (in fact, under "hospital" he has two identical sentences with different translations). I was merely giving a starting point, as well as pointing out a source that already exists, in spite of its flaws, in case someone needed it right away. The "Basic Japanese-English Dictionary" by The Japan Foundation (ISBN 4-89358-004-3) has this entry for "kasa" (all in kanji with furigana as well as romaji): kasa [n] umbrella. amagasa - a (rain) umbrella // higasa - a parasol // kasa o sasu - put up an umbrella // kasa o hirogeru - open an umbrella // kasa o tsubomerou - close an umbrella. Densha no naka ni kasa o wasurete kimashita - I left my umbrella in the train. stevo [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
