Re:Re:Japanese love
I'm sorry, but this is completely not right. The Japanese do *not* use "ai suru" for this. Instead, this construction is used:
(Ž„‚Í)‚ ‚È‚½‚ª(‘å)D‚«‚Å‚·B
(Watashi wa) anata(*) ga (dai)suki desu.**
here:
"Watashi wa" is optional and can be safely omitted (assuming it's clear from context that you are the one who's in love) ... it means something like "as for me"
"anata ga" this is the "you" with a subject particle. * NOTE: using anata isn't really recommended; use names like "tomoe-san", "atsuki-chan" or "daijirou-kun"
"suki" is actually and _adjective_ ... it's quite hard to explain... "dai" is optional, and makes it literally "big", more "love" instead of just "liking".
"desu" is the copula, could be also "da" in an informal setting.
hope this helps

Re:Furin ya.....
I read your message and serch it in Japanese on the internet to get a basic informaiton about the haiku and nothing has found.
As a reminder, I try a translation as follows.
Furin ya
Koenaki Kaze wa
Utawaseru
A wind-bell,
slight wind
makes it ring.
"A wind-bell, " is good, "slight wind" is not very bad, and I think, "makes it ring." does not fit for the first half.
Or to force myself to interpret it; it is a quiet scene a wind-bell is ringing aside a window. It is ringing so the author can feel the wind. And he/she keeps watching it....
Well, It is fun to answer the questions about Japanese, especially with a specific example like yours.
Cheers.

PLEASE ANSWER THIS QUESTION
What means “Well-being”.
The context is:
Diet and Exercise
Diet and exercise play a critical role in one's health and well-being.

Thank you in advance for your reply
I recommend greatly a site for information about Health, Illness, and can be found searching “Health New York City” with Google or other Searcher. It is very complete and up to date and completely bilingual.
If you consult it and need any explanation of Spanish, not translation because it is perfect, I lovely can do it.

Her name is Verónica – She is student. She will be a Teacher.
Su nombre es Verónica. Ella es estudiante. Ella será Profesora

Y Carlos ¿En qué trabaja (él)? ¿Es él Profesor?
El trabaja en Ventas de inmuebles: Apartamentos, Casas, Haciendas....No, él no es Profesor
