How to write... 2008/3/8 02:09
I need to know how to write/say, ''I can speak Japanese and you can't'' in kana. I have a couple ideas of what it might be but the kanji evades me. Thanks for any help.

私は日本語を話すことができ、ことができない。

This translates roughly as, "As for me I can speak Japanese, the thing you cannot do."

Sorry but the post above sounds more like "I can and cannot speak Japanese." The "the thing you..." part, which is critical here, is missing.

"While I can speak Japanese, you cannot" would be:

"Watashi wa nihongo ga hanaseru ga, anata wa dekinai."
