Also, there is an island in Japan called "Hokkaido" and Japanese knights are called "samurai". Don't know if this helps, good luck!

kimi o (a name) shiteru

do you mean "shiteiru"? because that would make more sense.

shite is the te-form of shimasu (polite form,) or suru (plain form.) iru is the plain form of imasu (polite form.)

shimasu means "to do"

shiteimasu or shiteiru means "am doing" (te-form imasu is a special form that means action in progress.)

But that wouldn'r really make sense to be "doing you" (although there is this idiot in my japanese class that takes anything and everything that could be interpreted in a sexual way and makes a horny joke about it. )


ai tchin tsumu


Dunno. Sorry. "tchi" isn't a japanese character (as far as I know... )
