| Lesson 6 - part 3
More examples :
あなた は がくせい です anata wa gakusei desu you are a student
using the rules : ( anata = you ) , ( gakusei = student ) , the sentence means : anata wa gakusei desu = you are a student .
せんもん は こうがく です senmon wa kougaku desu study major is engineering
knowing that : ( senmon = study major ) & ( kougaku = engineering ) the sentence will means ( study major is engineering ) ... the TOPIC is the study major ( senmon) and the information I want to give ( the PURPOSE of the sentence ) is that the major is engineering ( kougaku ) .
NOTE : we can put more than one word in the place of TOPIC or PURPOSE ..
わあし の せんもん は こうがく です watashi no senmon wa kougaku desu my study major is engineering
Notice here : the TOPIC is : watashi no senmon = my study major the PURPOSE is : kougaku = engineering so the whole meaning is ( my study major is engineering )
Here ... it's like I want to talk about a TOPIC which is
in the previous similar example ( without WATASHI NO ) the meaning was the same but the sentence was general without specifying that it's talking about me or him or her or you .. etc, in the japanese language .. usually they delete the pronouns if the whole topic of speech is understood for the listener .
あなた は わたし の ともだち です anata wa watashi no tomodachi desu you are my friend
the TOPIC : ( anata = you ) the PURPOSE : ( watashi no tomodachi = my friend ) so I gave an information about my TOPIC ( you ) that you are ( my friend ) which is the purpose of the sentence to tell that you are my friend ^^

| Lesson 6 - part 4
Now let's move to the second type of the sentences , we will use an Adjective as the PURPOSE of the sentence :
き は きれい です ki wa kirei desu tree is beautiful
the TOPIC : ( ki = tree ) the PURPOSE : ( kirei = beautiful ) here we have the same previous rules but the PURPOSE is an adjective .
とり は あおい です tori wa aoi desu bird is blue
the TOPIC : ( tori = bird ) the PURPOSE : ( aoi = blue ) notice here that the adjectives usually ends with ( い = i ) or ( しい = shii ) , and the colours are adjectives , so I described the bird that it is blue .
NOTE : also here we can use more than one word as TOPIC or PURPOSE :
その とり は あおい です sono tori wa aoi desu that bird is blue
the TOPIC : ( sono tori = that bird ) the PURPOSE : ( aoi = blue ) so I described ( that bird ) that it's ( blue ) .
それ は あおい とり です sore wa aoi tori desu that is blue bird
notice here the difference between this sentence and the previous one , in this sentence : the TOPIC : ( sore = that ) the PURPOSE : ( aoi tori = blue bird ) so I gave an information about ( that ) that is ( blue bird )

| Lesson 6 - part 5 Additional examples : あの やま は おおきい です ano yama wa ookii desu that mountain is bigにほんご は おもしろい です nihongo wa omoshiroi desu Japanese language is interesting---------------------------------------------- HOW TO MAKE A QUESTION simply ; just put ( か = ka ) after the sentence so it will be a question ^^ あなた は せんせい です ?= anata wa sensei desu = you are a teacher あなた は せんせい です か?= anata wa sensei desu ka ? = are you a teacher ? き は ちいさい です = ki wa chiisai desu = the tree is small き は ちいさい です か?= ki wa chiisai desu ka ? = is the tree small ? . .
End of lesson 6 I hope you've enjoyed it ^^ | |

| lesson 7 14-4-2008
SENTENCE STRUCTURE 2 ( Nouns and Adj. in past , negative & neg. past ) let's talk now about how to say nouns & adj. sentences in past , or how to make them in negative ( النفي ) or in negative past ^^ 1) Noun sentences 1-a) Negative :>>> desu ==> dewa arimasen or : ja arimasen or : dewa nai or : ja naiNOTE : we write (dewa) using (は) not (わ) , like this (では) . わたし は せんせい ですwatashi wa sensei desu I'm a teacher わたし は せんせい ではありませんwatashi wa sensei dewa arimasen わたし は せんせい じゃありませんwatashi wa sensei ja arimasen わたし は せんせい ではないwatashi wa sensei dewa nai わたし は せんせい じゃないwatashi wa sensei janai all of these previous 4 sentences mean : I'm not a teacher NOTES :I) the 1st sentence is the more polite and formal one let's say ^^ II) we can add (desu) after (dewa nai) & (janai) for more formality and politeness ^^ III) the word (arimasen) is the negative form of the verb (arimasu) which mean (to exist) , notice that (desu) doesn't come after verbs , we will talk more about verbs in the next lesson in sha' ALLAH ^^ . . つづく

| Lesson 7 - part 2
1-b) past : >>> ( desu ==> deshita )
わたし は せんせい です watashi wa sensei desu I'm a teacher
わたし は せんせい でした watashi wa sensei deshita I was a teacher
1-c) negative past : >>> simply .. add the negative form of (desu) then the past form
わたし は せんせい です watashi wa sensei desu I'm a teacher
わたし は せんせい では ありません でした watashi wa sensei dewa arimasen deshita わたし は せんせい じゃ ありません でした watashi wa sensei ja arimasen deshita わたし は せんせい では ない でした watashi wa sensei dewa nai deshita わたし は せんせい じゃない でした watashi wa sensei janai deshita
all of these previous 4 sentences mean : I wasn't a teacher
NOTE : in the informal speech they use (dewanakatta) or (janakatta) , you can understand them more after reading about adjectives , but for us we will use the formal way ^^

2) adjective sentences 2-a) Negative :
>>> delete the last (い) from the adj. and put ( くありません ) or ( くない ) instead of it .
すし は おいしい です sushi wa oishii desu sushi is delicious
すし は おいしくありません sushi wa oishiku arimasen sushi is NOT delicious
すし は おいしくない sushi wa oishikunai sushi is NOT delicious
NOTE : all the adj. we talk about here is from the 1st type of adjectives , the 2nd type has different way for making it past or negative .
2-b) past :
>>> delete the last (い) from the adj. and put (かった) instead of it .
すし は おいしい です sushi wa oishii desu sushi is delicious
すし は おいしかった sushi wa oishikatta sushi was delicious ( for example , you ate sushi yesterday and today you're talking about it so you will say : the sushi was delicious ^^ )

2-c) negative past :
>>> there are two ways : >>> delete the last (い) from the adj. and put ( くありません でした ) instead of it . >>> delete the last (い) ; put (くない) instead of it , then delete the last (い) and put (かった) , i.e we will have ( くなかった ) instead of the original (い) of the adjective .
すし は おいしい です sushi wa oishii desu sushi is delicious
すし は おいしくありませんでした sushi wa oishiku arimasen すし は おいしくなかった sushi wa oishikunakatta
both sentences mean : sushi wasn't delicious
NOTE : we can add (desu) after (kunai) , (katta) & (kunakatta) for more formality and politeness .

| lesson 8 16-4-2008
SENTENCE STRUCTURE 3 ( VERBS ) we talked about how to add nouns and adj. to sentences .. now we will talk about an important subject which is adding verbs to the sentence ; how to make it in past , negative and negative past ... we will talk also about the types o verbs ( formal & dictionary form ) , how to add the OBJECT ( مفعول به ) , and how to make questions .. it's a long lesson and very informative ^^ ------------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION : THIS IS A VERY INFORMATIVE LONG LESSON .. GET A CUP OF TEA (OCHA) AND BE READY (^_')b-------------------------------------------------------------------Verbs in Japanese come in two forms .. the formal one ( which we are concerned about here ) & the dictionary form ( which is the informal way to speak , w will not talk about it too much ) . FORMAL VERBS [ masu-form ] :The verbs end by ( ます = masu ) like ( ikimasu , tabemasu , nemasu , .. ) .. such verbs are in PRESENT tense ( and they may refer to future too , we will notice this later in examples , and don't worry .. it doesn't confuse ^^ ) .. look to the following sentences : わたし は たべます watahi wa tabemau ==> ( tabemasu = to eat ) I eatNotice here : the SUBJECT ( watashi ) then (は) then the verb without (desu) after it .. this sentence means ( I eat ) .. and BE CAREFULL .. it DOES NOT mean ( I'm eating ) .. there's another way to say verbs in present continuous , this just present tense , or it could mean ( I will eat ) . わたし の ともだち は いきますwatahi no tomodachi wa ikimasu ==> ( ikimau = to go ) my friend goes ( or : my friend will go ) PAST tense :[ ーます ==> ーました ]
いき ます ==> いき ましたiki masu ==> iki mashitago ==> went ==> just by replacing ( masu ) by ( mashita ) it will return to the past form . わたし は たべましたwatahi wa tabemashita I ateわたし の おとうさん は いきましたwatahi no otousan wa ikimahita my father went ====> ( it doesn't matter where he went , we will know how to talk about places later )
NEGATIVE :[ ーます ==> ーません ]いき ます ==> いき ませんiki masu ==> iki masengo ==> not go ==> just by replacing ( masu ) by ( masen ) it will return to the negative form . わたし は よみませんwatashi wa yomimasen ==> ( yomimasu = to read ) I don't readせんせい は かきませんsensei wa kakimsen ==> ( kakimasu = to write ) the teacher doesn't write NEGATIVE PAST :[ ーます ==> ーません でした ]==> just by replacing ( masu ) by ( masen deshita ) it will return to the negative past form . いき ます ==> いき ません でしたiki masu ==> iki masen deshitago ==> didn't go わたい は いきません でしたwatashi wa ikimasen deshita I didn't goがくせい は わかりません でしたgakusei wa wakarimasen deshita ==> ( wakarimasu = to understand )the student didn't understand
IMPERATIVE ( te-form ) :There's no one simple specific rule for making the imperative ( فعل الأمر ) in nihongo .. but there are some relations and forms let's say we can use .. we call the imperative : "te" form , because usually it ends with (て) , some verbs also end with (って) or (んで) .. look to the following examples : たべます ==> たべてtabemasu ==> tabete يأكل ==> كل to eat ==> eat でます ==> でてdemasu ==> dete يخرج ==> اخرج to get out ==> get out いきます ==> いってikimasu ==> itte يذهب ==> اذهب to go ==> go よみます ==> よんでyomimasu ==> yonde يقرأ ==> اقرأ to read ==> read NOTE : when using te-form ; use (kudasai) after it to be polite .. みて うださい = please see ( mimasu = to see )

| Lesson 8 - part 2INFORMAL VERBS [ dictionary-form ] :We will not study this form in detail but let's have a quick look : ==> the present form usually end with letters like ( ru , u , mu , nu , ku , su , bu ) .examples : たべます ==> たべる いきます ==> いく よみます ==> よむ the verb (tabemasu) have the same meaning as (taberu) which is (to eat) but the first is formal & the second one is informal , the same for the rest verbs . ==> the past form ends with ( ta ) so we call it ( ta-form ) , but it can also ends with ( tta ) or ( nda ) .examples : たべました ==> たべた いきました ==> いった よみました ==> よんだ the verb (tabemashita) have the same meaning as (tabeta) which is (ate) but the first is formal & the second one is informal , the same for the rest verbs . ==> the negative form ends with (nai) .たべません ==> たべない いきません ==> いかない よみません ==> よまない the verb (tabemasen) have the same meaning as (tabenai) which is (not eat) but the first is formal & the second one is informal , the same for the rest verbs . ==> the negative past form ends with (nakatta) , just use the negative form ; delete the last (i) and put (katta) .. it's similar somehow to the negative past of the adjectives .たべません でした ==> たべなかった いきません でした ==> いかなかった よみません でした ==> よまなかった the verb (tabemasen deshita) have the same meaning as (tabenakatta) which is (didn't eat) but the first is formal & the second one is informal , the same for the rest verbs . -------------------------------------------------------------------OBJECT:Now let's talk about a very important topic which is how to add the OBJECT (مفعول به) to the verb-sentences : Remember when we studied HIRAGANA letters we talked about (を = wo) , OK.. this is not exactly a letter ; I mean we can't find with any word .. it's a particle for the OBJECT , look to the following examples : わたし は りんご を たべますwatashi wa ringo wo tabemasu ==> ( ringo = apple ) I eat apples ==> ( remember : there's no plural in nihongo , ringo can mean apple or apples)
Let's analyze the sentence : 1) In Nihongo ; the verb-sentences are ( SUBJECT + OBJECT + VERB ) , comparing to the Arabic & English : Arabic : VERB + SUBJECT + OBJECT English : SUBJECT + VERB + OBJECT ==> of sourse we can say it in Arabic in many way , but this how (الجملة الفعلية) is . 2) After the SUBJECT there's the particle (は) and after the OBJECT there's the particle (を) . 3) We can add nouns or adjectives to the object or the subject as we learned before and we can use any verb tense we need . わたし は ちいさい りんご を たべましたwatashi wa chiisai ringo wo tabemashita I ate a small apple ==> chiisai = small , ( chiisai ringo ) is the OBJECT , we used the past tense of "tabemasu" which is "tabemashita" to make the sentence in past . わたし の せんせい は ほん を よみません でしたwatashi no sensei wa hon wo yomimasen deshita our teacher didn't read the book きのう。。がくせい は しゅくだい を かきましたkinou.. gakusei wa shukudai wo kakimashita ==> (shukudai = homework) yesterday.. the student wrote the homework-------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO MAKE QUESTIONS:Simply .. just add (か) after the verb at the end of the sentence to make it a question ^^ せんせい は りんご を たべます か?sensei wa ringo wo tabemasu ka ? does the teacher eat apples ?あなた は たべました か?anata wa tabemashita ka ? did you eat ?あなた の ともだち は ほん を よみません でした か?anata no tomodachi wa hon wo yomimasen deshita ka ? didn't your friend read the book ?あなた は りんご を たべません か?anata wa ringo wo tabemasen ka ? don't you eat apples ?------------------------------------------------------------------- ADDITIONAL NOTE :Of course we can delete the subject as you know .. we can say : ( gohan wo tabemashta = I ate the lunch ) .. if I'm talking about myself there's no need to say (watashi) every time .. and if I'm asking someone there's no need to use (anata) in every sentence because it's clear that I'm asking him not my self for example :p hon wo yomimashita ka ? = did you read the book ? tabemashita ka ? = did you eat ?. .
End of lesson 8 I hope you've enjoyed it ^^ | |
