'Suru' is a very widely used auxiliary verb which can be added to the end of many other words in Japanese to form the verb form of the word's meaning. On it's own also it generally could be equivalent of 'to do' in English. 'Shite iru' is it's conjugation in present continuous form, so it could roughly translate to 'am/is/are doing'.

What is the phrase 'I love you always' when translated from English to Japanese?

In romaji, the Japanese would be (dashes added for reading aid) itsumo ai/koi o shite-imasu. (I will always love you, polite) itsumo ai/koi o shite-iru. (I will always love you, familiar) ai or koi means love. 'ai' is usually said as 'ai shite-imasu/shite-iru' (I love you). 'koi' is usually said as 'koi o shite-imasu/shite-iru' (I love you). 'suki' also sometimes translates to love but can also mean 'like.' (sorta) Children, for example, will tell their mom "I love you" by saying "mama ga suki da." To say "I will always love you" using 'suki': itsumo suki desu. (I will always love you, polite) itsumo suki da. (I will always love you, familiar) But this probably means something closer to "I will always like you" in English. - Josh, International Business Major, focus in Japanese

What does Anata wa subarashii yūjin ni shite iru mean?

I'm not really sure but I'll do my best... "Anata" means "You". "Subarashii" means "Wonderful/Great". "ni shite iru" might mean "in the end". and I think that "yūjin" is an English name pronounced/written in katakana so in English, it would be "Eugene". So I think that this statement means: "In the end, you were really wonderful/great Eugene." Please correct me if I am wrong.. since it's not really my primary language and I only learn through listening to animes so.. sorry if it's wrong.
