peer agreement (net): +2Osusume no ramen-ya arimasuka Explanation: A native Japanese speaker would probably ask to be taken to a delicious ramen shop or a recommended place. For example, "oishii ramen-ya ni tsuretette kudasai" (please take me to a delicious ramen shop). Or "osusume no ramen-ya arimasuka?" (do you have a recommended ramen shop). Your phrasing "doko de seikou ramen no mise" literally translates as "where successful ramen shop" and might be best asked "oishii ramen-ya wa doko desuka?" (where is a delicious ramen shop). Seikou means successful and as in English would be used more to inquire about the business success of a place rather than whether or not the food is good. Btw, mise is often used alone when the context is understood as in "oishii mise wa doko desuka?" (where is a delicious shop). With the word ramen you'd more often use -ya (literally house but often used for shops) or -ten (the alternative reading of mise) as in ramen-ya or ramen-ten. Hope this is not too long or confusing. If you have any questions let me know ;-) |
