If i know that 言う can be pronounced ゆう? Well, now i do.
Thanks! I understand that when you mention the pronounciation
of 書いておく to be かいとく you also imply that (almost?) all verbs
go that way. Is that correct understood? In such case - *great*
thanks to you. I have no illusion of sounding as a 日本人 but i
aim at doing my best. :)

> "leisurely manner" might sound a bit more natural in English.

Perhaps i was unclear on this one. The vocabulary-part in my
book tells me that のんびり means "in a leisurely way" and i am
simply unsure how to use that information since "...ely way" is
not correct english expression as far as my knowledge goes.

Sorry if i didn't expressed myself fully correct and great thanks
for all the help.
