Minor correction on the Japanese.

The standard spelling (in Romaji) of the formal form of "thank you" is
    "arigato gozaimasu"
The final "u" is not pronounced, and the Japanese "r" sound is close to an "l" sound.

"Domo arigato" is a slightly less formal way of saying "thank you".

"Arigato" is still less formal.

"Domo" is very informal.

Figuring out the correct level of formality to use in Japanese is quite difficult.

Yes I see. This is a "Learn Chinese" forum. I'm glad you know Japanese. Are you interested in learning something in Chinese?

Cool, kevin_karplus. Where did you learn this 

I'm sorry to take it out on you but.... DOES THIS HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH WHAT I PUT THIS FORUM UP FOR???

HopeD, if you are going to run a thread of the forum that is off-topic (not about Scratch), you can't get too upset about it drifting to other off-topic subjects.

Answering S_Uchiha, I took courses in Japanese 20 years ago.  I have since forgotten almost all my Japanese, though I still remember some German, which I took over 35 years ago.  Learn languages when you are very young and use them frequently, if you wish to become and remain multi-lingual.

I'm sorry. But at least Japanese has to do something with Chinese. (Even though they're both kinda far apart.)

Oh! I didn't know that you were asking for a translation of Llama! Well, I don't know that but I guess you've got the right translation. I don't know because I'm not familiar with Llamas.

BENY: I'm wondering: is there somehow a way to type chinese characters without a chinese font? You said that you don't have chinese fonts, but in one of your above posts you have some chinese characters.  How did you achieve this? 

i used google translate
