Told About Something I want to say that my waiter told me about Japanese restaurants or taught me info about them. I was thinking that I might just try ` ` But that would mean the waiter taught Japanese restaurants to me wouldn't it? I would like to say that he told me about something? How do I say "about" something? Any help is appreciated.

First thing I would like to point out is that `` is fundamentally wrong. I think you were looking for `` (Remember that is or "weak" verb).

In this case however, I think you would like to express gratitude for the person who taught you and thus stay polite. I would reach for either the active `` or passive `` depending on where you want to put the emphasis.

To express `about` the easiest is probably to use ``.

Thus something along the lines of :

* ``
* ``



Should do just fine. Note that I used `` instead of `` because the latter, at least in my opinion carries a notion of "canteen", thus a low-end place. Feel free to modify that part !
