When you want to ask a close friend if he or she needs something, you can say this.
"Kore, iru?" = Do you need this?
"Un. Arigato." = Yes. Thank you.
Note: In the system of romanization used in this section, "ee" is not pronounced like feet. Instead, it means that the vowel sound "e" as in pet is prolonged. In the same manner, "oo" is pronounced not like shoot but as the "o" vowel, similar to pork, pronounced twice as long.
