B: chigau yo! ano tori ga aokakesu desu.)

B: You're wrong! That bird is a Blue Jay.

-------------------------------------------------

Interesting story, my book "501 Japanese Verbs" romanized 違う as "tigau." I think that it's a fairly old book so they may have been using the Ministry of Education's (MOE) style of romanizing Japanese. It's a style that doesn't actually represent the spoken sounds. According to the book I'm reading currently, "Japanese Step by Step: An Innovative Approach to Speaking and Reading Japanese" by Gene Nishi, the style of romanization that we mainly use now is the Hepburn style which represents how the syllables actually sound.

I thought it was interesting. ^^ Anyways, thanks so much for reading!!! ありがとうございます！じゃね！
