suu – suimasu verb means ‘to smoke’
so Zenzen suimasu would be roughly “I don’t smoke at all”. Although cigarette is not specifically mentioned, I think it is just understood.

The meaning of your example is:

Let’s sit at the same area/seat because I can’t see well

I have a question: If yoku is used with a negative verb, does it change the meaning of the sentence?

Ex: Yoku miemasen kara, mae no hou ni suwarimashou.

(Also, can you tell me please how do you translate this sentence?)

For ~kai, from 11, just add jū and for 20, just add nijū and so on

Hope this help

Hope you can enlighten me on japanese’s counter usage as in hitotsu, futatsu, ikkai, nikkai etc. I searched high and low for extra info when we count more than ten. Do we have ju hitotsu, ju futatsu, ju ikkai and such? How about 20 and above?

Thanks alot :)

Same thing happens with “samui” or “atsui”. I’ll say samu! or Atsu! But I’m Osakan so we say stuff different ;P

You can’t use “amari nomimasu” in this case. “yoku nomimasu” will be “often drink”
