Let's practice what you learned here.
When someone asks me if I have time tonight, or if I’m busy. How would I say “What’s going on?” Also how would I say “What’s going on here?” for future reference.
Thanks for the response.
if I have time tonight, or if I’m busy. ＝今夜、時間ありますか？ 今夜、忙しいですか。“What’s going on?＝何が起こっているんですか？
I hope this helps!
What are some examples of using やる in Japanese sentences since it’s more casual?
Thanks for the response.
As for yaru, is there any specific situation you would like to ask?
I actually don’t know. Maybe some examples might help. I might be able to come up with an answer most likely, I just can’t seem to think of any specific because やる is new to me.
やる has many meanings. The below will help you.

剣の切れ味
Off topic question ca you break down what these sentences mean, I’m trying to play a game that’s in Japanese and I understand a bit, but I need to know about these. Also it’s because I’m learning how to read instruction manuals and forcing myself to play or listen to Japanese things to keep my skills afloat
.呪文の青玉アクション画面で、敵を全滅させる。
呪いのころもこれを着ると、一定時間無てきなる。
Thanks for the response.
Sorry I added this 剣の切れ味 first because I don’t know what it means as well.
呪文の青玉アクション画面で、敵を全滅させる。
I have no idea about 呪文の青玉アクション画面as I do not know about the game.
Are there any blue balls of magic spells?
but, maybe, it means that 呪文の青玉:アクション画面で敵を全滅させることができる。
敵を全滅させる。=You can kill all the enemies, using the action screen.
呪いのころもこれを着ると、一定時間無てきなる。
=呪いのころも、これを着ると、一定時間、無敵になる。
=When you wear cursed clothing, you can become invincible for a certain period.
剣の切れ味＝sharpness of the sword.
All in all, the grammar is not difficult. jisho.org will help you.
If you have any more questions, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
Thanks for the information. I didn’t think it would be easy since particles are something I sort of struggle with. But I used jisho and it helped so far.
The only question, I have is why is their a させる attached to 全滅させる when I used jisho it didn’t explain it, but it explains the kanji?
させる：Meaning: Make/let somebody do something; make something happen (causative)
e.g.
先生が学生に宿題をさせた。
=Teacher made students do homework.
In your context, 青玉が敵を全滅させる。
= Aodama makes you able to kill all enemies.
The below explains a lot!
