no problem divya. :) zathura can post some too.
few other words

ja arimasen is the opposite of desu
genki desu would be im fine
genki=fine/well
desu=am/is/are
ja arimasen [is the opposite] = not fine/well

another example of that word is
wakarimasen
which is wakarimasu+arimasen
wakarimasu=understand
arimasen=dont
wakarimasen=dont understand

thats all for today' class. :bow:
