"magokoro o, kimi ni"
Kyle Davis
from it, anyway) so I thought, as the wannabe Japanese student, I'd
try and help. :)
Literraly, it means something like "sincerely, to you" or "sincerely,
I give to you", given that the Japanese have the annoying habit of
leaving out random parts of sentences. As an interesting note, the
"you" used in the sentence means like "a familiar female friend kind
of you". Hard to put it in English.
There you have it.

For those who are *really* curious: "magokoro" means sincerely and
(I'm guessing) that the "o" is actually "wo" which means it's the
indirect object/adverb of the verb that doesn't exist in this
sentence. :) "kimi" is the "you (female)", and "ni" is a particle
meaning "to".
If anyone who actually *knows* the language could tell me where all
this "heart"/"soul" comes from, I'm genuinely curious...

Indirect?
Direct, I'd say?
>"kimi" is the "you (female)",
Not necessarily...

"Magokoro" means "heart" ("kokoro"), but with the meaning of "true
feelings", or something like that...
Literally, it's:
"Ma" = "true"
"Kokoro" = "heart"

Actually, according to my dictionary, yeah. :)
"ma" is one kanji. "kokoro" is another. "magokoro", which is defined
as "sincerely", is the combination of those two kanji. It never
occurred to me to break it down.

Eek. Note to self: sleep within twenty-four hours of trying to
explain anything.
>>[kimi]

This I'm actually curious about. Elaborate?

I have "kokoro" as being "mind, heart, and spirit".
I'm not trying to be confrontationaly. I'm genuinely curious about
these things. And now I'm going to sleep so I don't butcher it as
badly next time... :)

"Magokoro" is a noun (hence the "o" following it), not an adverb.
It can be _adaptated_ into an adverb, due to the context of the
sentence, though, but it's not "sincerely", an adverb, to begin with.

Arh. ^^;
How can I explain _THAT_ correctly in English?? ^^;;
Help! ^^;;;
Anyway, I'm surprised you never heard a male anime or manga character
be called "kimi"?
Well, Fuyutsuki, in the end of episode 21 says "Kimi ka..." when Kaji
enters the room to free him, for example.

Yup.

Never occurred to me. Like I said, I was a wee bit tired. :)
It does make sense. Even if you break it down into "ma kokoro", it
means "true feelings" which pretty much means "sincerely" anyway. Or
so I'm going to tell myself...

Try, for my sake. :)

21 I have in English. I'm gathering that's it's just like "you"
(familiar, but not too close; gender nuetral) kinda thing. Close? Not
close?
>>[magokoro]
>Yup.
Ha! I did something right! :)
