Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
Are you Japanese or Indian? I have noticed you have an Indian email address.

Hi Ray,
the above sentence :
"Takasi wa itosii Yosiko ga mizu wo zibun-no ue-ni kobosita toki
nurete simatta."
Now you mark Takasi as the doer of the action, dont you.And he is
<spilling> the water over Yosiko and therefore gets wet himself?
So he is trying to get Yosiko wet - is it the concept?If it is so, I
think the sentence will be as follows :
Takashi wa Yoshiko no ue-ni mizu wo koboshita toki, zibun wo nurete
shimatta.
And i have not used the word <<itoshii>> before Yoshiko, because i
am the narrator here and i do not have an idea if Yoshiko is a
person, liked by Takashi or not :]
