I've just begun studying japanese, and, to be honest, I'm really anxious to learn how to write and pronounce certain sentences. So I was wondering if you guys could translate something for me. [b]How would you write, using kanji/kana, "I've found a reason" (as in "I've found a reason to live/fight/etc.")?[/b]
I'm quite aware that asking for translations may sound lazy, so, to prove I did do some research, here's what I know:
[i]1) to find = mitsukeru (past indicative = mitsuketa (informal), mitsukemashita (formal) 2) I (personal pronoun) = watashi (contractions: atashi, asshi) 3)[/i] 私は理由を見つけた [i](is this correct? if so, is there a better/simpler way to write it?)[/i]
Thanks in advance! I promise not to ask for this kind of favor again! :)
In the future you can find phrases like this in the ALC Dictionary. That's where I always go to look stuff like this up. Sometimes you have to dig a little deeper or use a different conjugation for example for your sentence, I had to search 'find a reason':

but, you can usually find exactly what you are looking for. The homepage is here:
