  1. I'm not sure about the word boo but I think it's 棒 (bou) meaning stick or club. いない (inai) means to not be, when referring to a living thing.

    棒を持っている男の子 (bou o motte iru otokonoko) means a boy (男の子)  who is carrying a stick.

    棒を持っていない男の子 (bou o motte inai otokonoko) means a boy who is not carrying a stick.


  2. rosetta stone?

    boo = stick, pole, rod, bar

    inai = not

    boo o motte iru otokonoko

    =the boy who holds stick

    boo o motte inai otokonoko

    =the boy who doesnt hold stick


  3. Haha, boo means "pole", "rod", or "stick".

    So your phrases can be translated as:

    boo o motte iru otokonoko

    Boy who has a stick.

    Boy who is holding a stick.

    boo o motte inai otokonoko

    Boy without a stick.

    Boy who is not holding a stick.

    But I think it means something else...

    I think you can guess that that implies. (stick = a man's *****)

    "inai" is just the negative form of the verb "iru".
