Next thing you know I'm going to remember how to spell my name in hiragana. <--idk if I spelled that right.

Atashi is "I" for girls and Boku is "I" for boys while Watashi is "I" for both genders I think

Well, I don't know, that's what my teacher said.
whatever, Watashi/Boku is possessive not just I, it includes my, mine, that kind of stuff. So, I mean, it's a noun. Not just a word.
(the things I remember.-_-)
I should have said that earlier.

Re: I'm Vidding It! Japanese Dictionary
Well, I only know "arigato" and "sayonara" which everybody knows, but I'll look for some other words in my mangas =)
Btw, I think that Yuki also means "princess", or at least is what I got from Vampire Knight

i guess yuki means snow. i guess hime means princess. -searches for her dictionary-
Princess: ojo(o)
Snow: yuki
but i guess it's "Watashi saw an ojoo", but "This is Garnet hime"... i dont know o,o my dictionary says ojo, but i learned hime

do you mean the wordgroup "days of the week" or monday, tuesday...?
Monday: Getsuyōbi
Tuesday: kayōbi
Wednesday: suiyōbi
Thursday: mokuyōbi
Friday: kinyōbi
Saturday: doyōbi
Sunday: nichiyōbi
in fact, "yōbi" also can be written as "yoobi", because the ō shows that the o is... long-drawn-out.
