Watashi wa kore wa rikai deki masu ka?
Literally, it says "Do I understand this?", which sounds a bit nonsensical.
If you remove the 'ka?' at the end, you get "I understand this."
Or, if you remove the 'Watashi wa' at the start, you get "Do you understand this?"
What does totema genki desu anata wa mean in English?
Watashi does mean "I" but it doesn't mean "I am" unless you put "wa" after it. If the word "Watashi" has "no" after it, it is actually "my". "eien" is the word for "Eternal, or permanent" ect. and "Tomodachi" is "Friend". plus the fact that "anata ha" in this sentence could mean along the lines of "you". So i think that this sentence says : "You are my eternal(best) friend."
What is the word 'desu' when translated from Japanese to English?
It's a verb that means "is". For example "Kuruma wa aka desu" means "The car is red.", or literally translated "Car red is."
'Desu' does not really have a tangible meaning that could be readily translated into English. It is, instead, what is referred to in linguistics as a "copula," and in this case, functions as a polite copula. A copula connects a subject and a predicate.
What does the Japanese word kurama mean?
kurama is composed of at least two "Kanji" combination, Kura and Ma.
Kura often means "warehouse" or "saddle". Ma often means " interval" or "horse".
So, the first pattern means "sit temporary in a warehouse", "warehouse space", "between warehouse to warehouse" or something else like that.
The second pattern means "horse with saddle (harness)". This second type of "Kurama" is also the name of famouse and historical town in Kyoto, where it is believed that "Tengu", a monster spilit in Japan, has been living.
Other types of Kurama may also exist.
How do you spell society in Japanese?
料理 is the direct translation of food from english to japanese.
Improvement:
No, 料理 (ryouri) is actually Japanese for 'cooking'. Food in general would be 食べ物 /ta be mo no/ and in sense of 'meal' it would be 食事 /sho ku ji/. Materials used for making food would be 食料 /sho ku ryuu/ and another word for food in its general sense (but usu referring to foods consumed by humans) is 食物 /sho ku mo tsu/.
Whatever dude.
What does 'terasu' mean when translated from Japanese to English?
'Terashi' comes from 'terasu', which means 'to shine' or 'to illuminate'. ^_^
はじめまして (ha ji me ma shi te) (hajimemashte when read consecutively) means nice to meet you, in more polite and formal sense.
ごきげんよう (go ki gen' you) means 'how do you do' or 'nice to meet you' usu used by elderly people and is a bit more casual than the former.

What does the Japanese word Tamagochi mean?
The word 'Tamagotchi' is a portmanteau (or hybrid) of the Japanese word for 'egg' (tamago, たまご) and the English word 'watch'. By taking 'tamago' and adding 'tch' at the end, the result is "Tamagotch," which has been popularized internationally with the added 'i' sound at the end. The literal meaning turns out to be 'Egg watch'.
What is 'Genki Desu ka' from Japanese to English?
This is usually translated into English as 'How are you?'
It is used frequently in Japan as a general greeting. It is often used with the honorific O in front as in "O genki desu ka?" or informally as just "genki?" or "genki no?" Genki means in good health and feeling well. You are literally asking if the person is healthy and doing well.

te/hand+mari/ball=hand-ball (te-mari)
or
tema/time, labour+ri/ advantage, official=time-advantage (tema-ri)
Maybe it means Handball or Timeadvantage. Check at freedict. com/ Online English to Japanese to English Dictionary and try to find out by putting fractions of her name like te or ri.

Hand-ball.
What is the word 'ano' when translated from Japanese to English?
If I'm correct I believe it means either "Uhm" or "Uh".
Actually that's partially correct. It really depends on inflection and tone.
"Ano~" where it's given the same hesitant or drawn out sound as a person in eglish would use "uhh..." as if uncomfortable or searching for something to say likely in response to a question asked. "Eto~" is another commonly enough used and means the same thing.
Example:
Anata WA anata o hazu no WA, kurasu ni suru hitsuyÅ ga arimasu?
(you should be in class, shouldn't you?)
Ano~ watashi WA soko ni mukatte ita?
(Ummm, I was just heading there?)
"Ano WA...(insert sentence here)" used in an actually sentence generally refers to "that [over there]" and belongs to a group of demostrative pronouons (Kore, Sore, Are, Dore) where you choose one depending on the position of the object being referanced.
in the basic standard sentence structure NOUN WA ACTION desu in this second one, Ano might take the place of the noun or it could be expanded and a particle such as 'WA' or 'ga' (generally the most common) would follow, with the rest of the standard sentence following that.
Two examples are below.
Ano WA nani desu ka?
(what's that over there?)
Ano ga watashi no hon desu!
(that's my book!)
What does the Japanese word dokomo mean?
There's no English translation to doomo, really, it is a formal word, and it is what you say when you greet someone. You should say it when you greet somebody, it is common and people will think you are good at Japanese!
Watashi wa nihongo ga suki desu means what in English?
It literally means "Isn't my Japanese(Language) amazing" kinda like "Don't I speak Japanese sooo well"
I'm not a native speaker so I can't say for sure but it sounds like a little bit of a pompous thing to say.
