doko and dochira, nan and nani

Today was busy, I participated in a pretty high priority meeting that may open some very big doors for Innovative Language Learning (the relatively young startup I work at).  This may be an opportunity to open new markets and find enterprise customers.  Fun stuff.

Other than work, I ate some interesting soup today that Ayako fixed.  It was yellow, and thick like a paste… and smelled like corn - well, actually it was corn… corn soup/paste ^=^

どこ と どちら are both used for asking where or which.  dochira is more polite (well, that is what minna no nihongo said, but Ayako said not really)

なん と なに are both used for asking what, nan is used when it precedes a word where the first mora is in the ta/da/na row.  Notice row is important (not just those 3).   It also says to use nan when it is followed by a counter suffix… whatever that is.  Use nani in all 0ther cases.

わたしは つかれた です。おやすみなさい。
