What is 'hana no sasayaki' in English?

What is the meaning of watashi tsuto ne irkarita?

The translation for 私もあなたに一目ぼれしている (watashi mo anata ni hitomebore shite iru) would be something like "I'm also falling in love with you at first sight". However, I'm honestly not entirely sure this sentence is correct. Usually the verb 一目ぼれする (hitomebore suru) would not be used in the progressive tense, as "falling in love at first sight" is typically something that happens instantly, not over an undetermined period of time.To say "I too fell in love with you at first sight", one would say 私もあなたに一目ぼれした (watashi mo anata ni hitomebore shita).

Just by itself the most common meaning for 三 would be the number 3, but as the suffix 山, it means mountain.

Then of course there is the common suffix at the end of a persons name.

san is almost like mr./ ms/ mrs etc

its very polite and neutral so you can use it for any age, gender... etc

basically you add it after a persons name

ex. Mike san

What does the Japanese word gakure mean in English?

If you're possibly referring to the style of naming for Hidden Ninja Villages in Naruto manga/anime series, the word 'gakure' originates from 'kakusu'/'kakureru'. Kakusu means 'to hide', kakureru means 'to be hidden' and 'kakure' means 'concealed, hidden within'.

When the word 'kakure' is preceded by another word the 'ka' syllable turns to 'ga' (recieves a dakuten (voiced consonant marker in shape of ") and thus you hear e.g. Konoha Gakure, instead of Konoha Kakure [かくれ -> がくれ]). In total, a name such as "Konoha Gakure no Sato" means literally "The Villaged Concealed Amongst the Leaves of the Trees", or more simply, Hidden Konoha Village.
