Instead, there are three greetings for morning, afternoon, night. Let’s first look at the greeting for afternoon and night. ３．こんにちは ４．こんばんは ----------------------- wtf?!?! if someone doesnt already know the difference between "konichi wa", and "konban wa"... then how could they possibly read hiragana? not very well thought-out. You really should have started using romanji... as english speakers could at least read. hmmm….

Granted you were on the spot there and all, but I believe if you where to have a look below, you would see that しかも is more along the lines of "(and) on top of that...", rather than "but". しかも ひとつの事について同じ傾向の条件をつけ加えていく表現。「そのうえ」の意味。 例文 いいアパートを見つけた。部屋が広くて、南向きでしかも駅から歩いて５分だ。 Keep up the good work.

By all means, if "'s" is easier to understand then that's fine as long as you realize that 「の」 doesn't always indicate ownership.

Well thought out and lot of fun. About の in the role of genative marker though. Why did you choose to relate it to "of" rather than "'s"? Most people seem to choose the "'s" way to relate it. Cheers, and looking forward to the next one. Thanks again for the lesson and the notes Tae. Well thought out and lot of fun.
