Comments:
Darrkangel	Hmm... what's the difference between nitsuke and tabini?
ZekkDistor	There is no difference, they have the same meaning
missshapoooo	tabini and nituke have a slight differense. In "nituke" after the pattern there come phrases expressing feelings/emotions or emotional patterns. So that the meaning of "nituke" - whenever someone happens to be in same situation, always has certain feelings and thus does something.
