Hello!

I live in japan and have been studying japanese for years. I recently failed 2kyuu with flying colors. Anyways i just found your blog and its facinating. please keep it up! It makes me remember why i fell in love with japanese in first place, whereas things like kanji make me remember why i want to gouge my eyes out with a blunt spoon.

thanks,
Jesse

Great question. In this case, the second option without the particle would sound more natural. But if you didn’t want all of it, you might want to add すこし to indicate that you want a little bit of the leftovers.

yesterday we had karerice in the kindergarten, and due to the fact that there was a big amount ofleftovers, i speculated how to say, that i would like to take something home of it.

Thanks Leonardo. Unfortunately, I think I’m starting to tread the lines of fair use so I can only recommend everybody to check out the book themselves if they want to learn about the rest of the book.
(Darn, for some reason this post was changed to private without me realizing it. I’ve posted it back up.)
