    In the above image, I’m struggling a bit with the sentence:

    一応、ドムドーラって聞きゃあ気になるからな。

    I’m having trouble understanding what 聞きゃあ would mean. ドムドーラ is a town by the way.

    This might mean like, “For now I am thinking about the town” or something but I’m not really getting it.

  2. Hi guys, I’ve been studying Japanese since around the start of this year, but I don’t get the masu forms? How do they work?

    I watched the Cure Dolly video on it but I’m still not sure as to how it works. Thanks! Also, is the Tango N5 anki deck good? I’ve been doing it daily (almost) for like 4 months now.

  3. How do I say “I watched an anime nonstop for 1 day, 3 hours”? Will it work?

    >一日三時間にアニメを見ていた。

    The problem is that it is usually understood as “I watched an anime for 3 hours in a day.” Is there other options?

    What about “I watched an anime continuously for 1 week, 3 days, 13 hrs, 42 min. 10 sec.” (Yea, I know it sounds ridiculous)?

    >一週三日13時42分10秒間にアニメを見ていた。
