dear kris xxx,

i went to my japanese-american dictionary for this one...
the japanese dont put together sentences like in english; this is a
word-for-word translation of the line "i've got a silver machine"; i hope to
get a better translation in an AOL chat...

"watashi motsu hitotsu no gin kakai"

pronounced, approximately:
WA-tah-she/ MOAT-soo/ hi*-TOTE-soo/no/gin**/KICK-ah-ee

*soft, like "hit"
**soft, like "give"

i'm merely a fan of the language, not a student. (someday maybe)...the way it
would be spoken in japanese might come off in english more like "a machine of
silver i have".

i hope to get the right version soon
stay tuned for yugoslavian!  (maybe)
