- Check my video for more details! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taBEfXlcRw4&t=608s ========================================================== 「の」＝ 人、場所、時、理由、もの の often gets used for things that have no physical presence, such as an event, idea, fact, or thought. This is similar to the meanings of the Japanese noun 事, which is actually considered a nominalizer as well. So, の and 事 are often interchangeable.  Meanings of nominalizer の change depending on the context because it acts like a placeholder for various words: 事 (non-physical thing), 物 (material thing) as well as "time," "place" and "reason."  It can be also used for "reason", 理由（りゆう）. 彼が会社を休んだのは具合が悪いからです。 かれ が かいしゃ を やすんだ の は ぐあい が わるい から です。 「の」＝理由（りゆう） の is also used to turn clauses into nouns to describe "material things" that have a physical presence. This includes "living things" such as people or animals. あそこにいるのが山本さんです。 あそこ に いる の が やまもと さん です。 「の」＝人（ひと） 椅子の下にいるのがタマです。 いす の した に いる の が たま です。 「の」＝動物（どうぶつ） 会議で使うのはこの書類だけです。 かいぎ で つかう の は この しょるいだけ です。 「の」＝もの の is used to turn clauses into nouns to describe "when" and "where" something happens, and it often appears in sentences with other elements that indicate a certain time or place. 会議があるのは来週の火曜日です。 かいぎ が ある の は らいしゅう の かようび です。 「の」＝日（ひ） 一日の中で一番眠くなるのは午後二時ごろです。 いち にち の なか で いちばんねむくなる の は ごごにじごろ です。 「の」＝時（とき） 彼が働いているのはこの近くです。 かれ が はたらいている の は この ちかく です。 「の」＝ところ・会社（かいしゃ） =============================================== Check out my Youtube Channel!

When “koto” is placed after a verb or a verb phrase, “koto” can turn that verb/verb phrase into what is essentially a long, multi-word noun. For example: 本を読みます hon o yomimasu means “[someone] reads/will read books.” But, 本を読む事 hon o yomu koto means “the idea/act of [someone] reading books.” ことKoto quite simply adds “ING” to the end of a verb. To Eat becomes Eating たべます tabemasu たべること taberukoto To Walk becomes Walking あるきます arukimasu あるくこと arukukoto To Drink becomes Drinking のみます nomimasu のむこと nomukoto こと（KOTO）turns a verb into a noun. It is an extremely useful thing to use when describing what actions you like or dislike doing.  うどんをたべることがすきです UDON WO TABERU KOTO GA SUKI DESU I like “eating” udon かれはこうえんをあるくことがすきです KARE WA KOUEN WO ARUKU KOTO GA SUKI DESU. He likes “walking” in the Park 田中さんがヨーロッパに行ったことを知っていますか？ Tanaka-san san ga youroppa ni itta koto o shitte imasu ka. Do you know that Mr. Tanaka has gone to Europe? あしたテストがあることをききましたか？ ashita tesuto ga aru koto o kikimashita ka? Did you hear that there is a test tomorrow? 【Verb plain style + の】    こと works to nominalize verbs. In this case,こと can be replaced by の.  うどんをたべることがすきです うどんをたべるのがすきです かれはこうえんをあるくことがすきです かれはこうえんをあるくのがすきです 田中さんがヨーロッパに行ったことを知っていますか？ 田中さんがヨーロッパに行ったのを知っていますか？ あしたテストがあることをききましたか？ あしたテストがあるのをききましたか？ 漢字（かんじ）を覚（おぼ）える事（こと）は難（むずか）しいです。 漢字（かんじ）を覚（おぼ）えるのは難（むずか）しいです。 映画（えいが）を見（み）る事（こと）は楽（たの）しいです。 映画（えいが）を見（み）るのは楽（たの）しいです。 彼（かれ）は日本語（にほんご）を話（はな）す事（こと）が上手（じょうず）です。 彼（かれ）は日本語（にほんご）を話（はな）すのが上手（じょうず）です。 彼（かれ）が帰（かえ）った事（こと）を知（し）っていますか？ 彼（かれ）が帰（かえ）ったのを知（し）っていますか？ 私はスポーツをする事（こと）も、見（み）る事も好（す）きです。 私はスポーツをするのも、見（み）るのも好（す）きです。       【Cases in which こと is usable but のis not】    When Verb plain style + こと is used in the predicate.        〇 私（わたし）の趣味（しゅみ）は歌（うた）を歌う事（こと）です。 × 私（わたし）の趣味（しゅみ）は歌（うた）を歌うのです。 【Cases in which こと is usable but のis not】   When できます or あります follow.    〇 私（わたし）は泳（およ）ぐ事（こと）ができます。 × 私（わたし）は泳（およ）ぐのができます。 〇  私（わたし）は日本（にほん）へ行（い）ったことがあります。 ×  私（わたし）は日本（にほん）へ行（い）ったのがあります。 =============================================== Check out my Youtube Channel!

- Check my video for more details! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxVjhLxElf8&t=244s ========================================================== Transitive Verb : A verb that takes a direct object Intransitive Verb : A verb that does not take a direct object Transitive Verbs: 飲む To Drink 読む To Read 食べる To Eat 買う To Buy 作る To Make Intransitive Verbs: 行く To Go 働く To Work 生きる To Live 泣く To Cry 泳ぐ To Swim Transitive 私はドアを開（あ）けました。 In the first sentence, we know from the particle を that there is a direct object. So when we ask the question, "What is being opened?" The answer is ドア (the door). From your studies of the particle を, you probably already know this particle always comes after a direct object. It's telling us what we are doing the verb to. Hopefully this sounds familiar, because this is exactly how we defined transitive verbs! Intransitive ドアが開（あ）きました。 In this second sentence, the only particle is が, which marks the subject as new or important information. This makes ドア the subject. The subject does the verb 開きました. The door opened. The door is doing the verb, but the verb is not acting upon anything. ◆Transitive Verbs and Intransitive pairs◆ 落とします to drop     落ちます to fall 出 to take out 出ます to come out; to leave 入れます to insert 入ります to enter 開けます to open 開きます to be opened 閉めます to close 閉まります to be closed つけます to attach つきます to be attached 消します to erase 消えます to disappear 抜きます to extract 抜けます to be extracted Although it's not always the case, you can use the following general guidelines to tell the differences... 1. 　Most of the time transitive verbs end with an "eru" or "su" sound, like for example, あける (akeru) and けす (kesu).  2.　Intransitive verbs oftenly end with an "aru" or "ku" sound. But sometimes they also end with an "eru" sound. For example, とまる (tomaru), あく (aku) and でる (deru).  However there are always exceptions in Japanese, so it's not always true for the above guidelines. Therefore the best way is still to memorize them. =============================================== Check out my Youtube Channel! Wanna support me? Follow my Instagram!!

- Check my video for more details! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxVjhLxElf8&t=244s ========================================================== In Japanese, the passive voice also is used when the speaker wants to inject the sentence with emotion.  For example, Japanese speakers often use the passive voice in situations where they want to convey a sense that they are a “victim”.  In other words, they use the passive voice to describe when something bad has happened to them. ◆Transitive Verb:他動詞◆ A verb done to other things. Pronoun は direct object を verb.  ◆Intransitive Verb:自動詞◆ A verb done by itself. Noun が verb.  Transitive 私はドアを開（あ）けました。 私はドアを閉（し）めました。 Intransitive ドアが開（あ）きました。 ドアが閉（し）まりました。 〇ドアが開（あ）けられました ✖ドアが開（あ）かれました 〇ドアが閉（し）められました。 ✖ドアが閉（し）まられました。 Transitive 私は電気（でんき）をつけます。 私は電気（でんき）をけします。 Intransitive 電気（でんき）がつきます。 私は電気（でんき）がきえます。 〇電気（でんき）がつけられました。 ✖電気（でんき）がつかれました。 〇電気（でんき）がきえられました。 ✖電気（でんき）がけされました。 ◆Passive sentence of intransitive verbs◆    Sentences with intransitive verbs can be made passive. In this case, "I" is the recipient of the action and the intransitive verb is the source of the action. Passive sentences with intransitive verbs imply trouble (damage) in the most cases.    昨日（きのう）雨（あめ）が降（ふ）りました。 It rained yesterday. 昨日（きのう）【私（わたし）は】雨（あめ）に降（ふ）られました。 I got caught in the rain yesterday. 昨日（きのう）の夜（よる）、子供（こども）が泣（な）きました。 The child cried last night 昨日（きのう）の夜（よる）、【私（わたしは】子供（こども）に泣（な）かれました。 I was troubled last night as the child cried. お父（とう）さんは死（し）にました。 My father passed away. 私（わたし）はお父（とう）さん死（し）なれました。 I was troubled because my father passed away. 同僚（どうりょう）は休（やす）みました。 My colleage was absent from work. 私（わたし）は同僚（どうりょう）に休（やす）まれました。 I was troubled as my colleage was absent from work 彼（かれ）は会社（かいしゃ）をやめました。 He quit the job. 私（わたし）は彼（かれ）に会社（かいしゃ）をやめられました。 I was troubled as he quit the job. 先生（せんせい）が喜（よろこ）びます。 The teacher is pleased(happy). 【私（わたし）は】先生（せんせい）に喜（よろこ）ばれた。 I was pleased by the teacher. =============================================== Check out my Youtube Channel!

For example, 彼（かれ）は私（わたし）の足（あし）を踏（ふ）みました. In this case, the subject of the passive sentence is not 私（わたし）の足（あし) but it i s私（わたし） . 彼（かれ）は私（わたし）の足（あし）を踏（ふ）みました He stepped on my foot 私（わたし）は彼（かれ）に足（あし）を踏（ふ）まれました My foot was stepped on by him ドアは私（わたし）の手（て）をはさみました。The door pinched my hand. 私（わたし）はドアに手（て）をはさまれました。My hand was caught in the door. お父（とう）さんは弟（おとうと）の頭（あたま）をたたきました。Dad hit my younger brother's head. 弟（おとうと）はお父（とう）さんに頭（あたま）をたたかれました。My brother was hit by his father. Besides the parts of the human body (ex. Feet, hands), the same thing goes with personal possessions such as "my watch".    子供（こども）は私（わたし）のカメラをこわしました My child broke the camera 私（わたし）は子供（こども）にカメラをこわされました My camera was broken by my child 泥棒（どろぼう）は私（わたし）の財布（さいふ）を盗（ぬす）みました。 The theif stold my wallet. 私（わたし）は泥棒（どろぼう）に財布（さいふ）を盗（ぬす）まれました。 My wallet was stolen by the theif. 犬（いぬ）は靴（くつ）を持（も）っていきました。The dog brought my shoes with him. 私（わたし）は犬（いぬ）に靴（くつ）を持（も）っていかれました。I had my dog bring my shoes. ◆Question sentence◆    誰（だれ）に足（あし）を踏（ふ）まれましたか？Who stepped on your foot? 誰（だれ）に財布（さいふ）を盗（ぬす）まれましたか？Who has stolen the wallet? ◆Passive form of "agemasu"◆    There is no passive form of agemasu (to give). Instead, moraimasu is used.    田中（たなか）さんは鈴木（すずき）さんに本（ほん）をあげました ✖鈴木（すずき）さんは田中（たなか）さんに本（ほん）をあげられました 〇鈴木（すずき）さんは田中（たなか）さんに本（ほん）をもらいました =============================================== Check out my Youtube Channel!

- Check my video for more details! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8i-FsQBpaxs&t=216s ========================================================== Japanese language makes far more use of passive language and passive verbs than English? The passive voice in Japanese is used for various reasons.  One reason is that both the Japanese language and Japanese culture are very indirect – as a result, the passive voice is more frequently used in Japan than in some other countries.  Group1 かきます かかれます kakimasu kakaremasu いそぎます　いそがれます  はなします はなされます  まちます　またれます かいます　かわれます Group2 たべます たべられます   みます みられます  Group3 きます こられます   します されます  ※The passive form of Group 2 verbs and きます of Group 3 is the same as the potential form ◆Passive sentence of transitive verbs◆    In the passive sentence, the object becomes the subject, and the transitive verb is changed into the passive form. The particle に is attached to the noun which is the source of the action.    先生（せんせい）は私（わたし）をほめました 私（わたし）は先生（せんせい）にほめられました Teacher praised me. I was praised by my teacher. ジョンは先生に質問をしました。John asked the teacher a question. 先生はジョンに質問をされました。The teacher was asked a question by John. お母さんは子どもをしかりました。 子どもはお母さんにしかられました。 Mother scold the kid. Kid was scold by his mother. When the object is an inanimate things, it is difficult to make the passive sentence.     田中（たなか）さんはりんごを食（た）べました りんごは田中（たなか）さんに食（た）べられました =============================================== Check out my Youtube Channel!

- Check my video for more details! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jTrFadn8sw&t=302s ========================================================== By combining ように (you ni) with なる (naru), you can express the change of state of situation. ◆Verb Potential form + ようになります◆ It means "came to be able to". It illustrates that the situation of being unable to do something changes to that of being able to do it. Meaning: change in ability or possibility. たばこが吸えるようになりました。 tabako ga sueru you ni narimashita Let's say that in your country you are not allowed to smoke until you are 18 years old. This example shows the change in possibility was occurred.  日本語の歌が歌えるようになりました。 nihongo no uta ga utaeru you ni narimashita I couldn't sing Japanese song in the past. I can sing now. 漢字が書けるようになりました。 kanji ga kakeru you ni narimashita I couldn't write kanji in the past. I can write now. 日本語が話せるようになりました。 nihongo ga hanaseru youni narimashita. I have become able to speak Japanese. 二十歳になったので、お酒が飲めるようになりました。 hatachi ni nattanode, osake ga nomeruyouni narimashita I have become able to drink alcohol because I became 20 years old. たくさん練習したら、泳げるようになります。 takusan renshuu shitara, oyogeru youni narimasu I will become able to swim if I practice a lot. ◆Dic form + ようになります◆ ◆ない form + ようになります◆ It illustrates that a new habit has been acquired or repetition of a new action has become apparent. Meaning: change in habitual action. たばこを吸うようになりました。 tabako wo suu you ni narimashita たばこを吸う (tabako wo suu) is the present state where you smoke now. It also means that in the past you didn't smoke. So from this sentence you can conclude two things: You didn't smoke in the past, but you smoke now. 新聞を読むようになりました。 shinbun wo yomu you ni narimashita I didn't read newspaper in the past. I read newspaper now. 去年から、毎日ジムへ行くようになりました。 kyonen kara mainichi jimu e ikuyouni narimashita. I go to gym every day since last year. 彼はよく会社を休むようになりました。 kare wa yoku kaisha o yasumi youni narimashita. He has often being absent from work. おばあちゃんは年をとったので、外へ行かないようになりました。 obachan wa oshi o totta node, soto e ikanai youni narimashita.

- Check my video for more details! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXjWeAi_Wrg&t=7s ========================================================== As the use of ので (node) softens the view of the speaker and sounds more polite, it's often used when you are gently expressing a reason, when asking for permission or when making an excuse. たべるので Taberu Node Because I will eat たべないので Tabenai Node Because I don't  eat たべたので Tabeta Node Because I ate たべたいので Tabetai Node Because I want to eat In english we would fist state the conclusion and then the reason in this type of sentence. In Japanese when using ので this is swapped around so the reason is at the beginning of the sentence and the conclusion is at the end.  卒業したいので勉強しています Sotsyugyou shitai node benkyou shite imasu Because I want to graduate, Im studying あめがふっていたので、いえにいました。 ame ga futteita node,  ie ni imasu. Because it was raisning, I stayed at home. ちょっとあついので、まどをあけてもいいですか。 chotto atsui node, mado o aketemo ii desu ka. It's a bit hot, so is it ok to open the window? あたまがいたいので、くすりをください。 atama ga itai no de, kusuri o kudasai. I have a headache, so please give me some medicine. から and ので both of these words are roughly equivalent to the English “because” when used in the following patterns: [dictionary form verb/i-adjective] + から             (ex: 食べるから、寒いから) [noun/na-adjective] + だから    (ex: 男だから、りっぱだから） [dictionary form verb/i-adjective] + ので             (ex:食べるので、寒いので） [noun/na-adjective] + なので    (ex: 男なので、りっぱなので） The way you use them grammatically is nearly identical, except for [noun/na-adjective] cases where you use “だ” with から and “な” with ので.  You can think of “な” as meaning “だ” here. Let’s look at two more example sentences using these terms. 僕は男だからそんなことしないよ。 僕は男なのでそんなことしないよ。 Because I’m a guy, I’d never do that type of thing.   ここはレストランだからたばこを吸わないでください。 ここはレストランなのでたばこを吸わないでください。 koko wa resutoran na node tabako wo suwanaide kudasai Please don't smoke here since this is a restaurant. あの人はとてもきれいだからモデルになれるでしょう。 あの人はとてもきれいなのでモデルになれるでしょう。 ano hito wa totemo kirei da kara moderu ni nareru deshou Even though all the above examples can be translated as “because” or “so” in English, there is a major difference in the nuance between “kara” and “node”. If you are speaking in a informal situation, “kara” would be more appropriate, whereas in an formal situation “node” would probably be better. Examples of when to use “node” are in a presentation at work or in a formal document. It has a cold, functional feeling to it. 1. Remember that ので is used to explain a reason that is out of your control and is more polite than から 2. Depending on what comes before ので the grammar will be slightly different. 3. The reason comes first in Japanese and then the conclusion. =============================================== Check out my Youtube Channel! Wanna support me? Follow my Instagram!!

Meaning: do this (soft/firm command). “nasai” is the polite command form in Japanese and is used in a variety of formal situations. You can use “nasai” when you are giving an order to someone younger or of lower status than yourself. It is used in combination with a Verb’s stem form and can only be used with a positive Verb. 食べます → 食べなさい tabemasu → tabenasai Eat your food. (command) 飲みます Nomimasu → 飲みなさい nominasai します Shimasu → しなさい shinasai 聞きます kikimasu → 聞きなさい kikinasai 言います iimasu → 言いなさい iinasai 野菜を食べなさい Yasai wo tabenasai  Eat your vegetables Take a look at these example sentences below to see the type of situations where you can use なさい。 Imagine that you are a teacher and you want to firmly tell your student to answer a question, you could say. この問題に答えなさい Kono mondai ni kotaenasai Answer to this question. For the next situation, imagine that you are a mother and your child has come in with something they are dying to tell you. They want to tell you so much that they are speaking to fast. You can say: ゆっくり話しなさい。 Yukkuri hanashinasai Speak slowly. Now it’s late, you need to tell your child that it’s time to go to bed. You can politely command them to do so with: もう寝なさい。 Mou nenasai Go to bed now. In addition, 〜なさい is commonly used in questions on exams. If you have taken Japanese tests before, you have probably seen 〜なさい more than a couple of times. 正解を選びなさい。 Seikai o erabinasai Choose the correct answer. In conversation, the last さい may be dropped to just be な. Ex)  食べな tabena Eat your food.  もう寝な。 Mou nena Go to bed now. =============================================== Check out my Youtube Channel!

- Check my video for more details! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fa_mpxJVzzE&t=537s ========================================================== prohibitive form : dictionary form + na To command someone not to do something in Japanese is very easy. Simply add な after the plain form of a verb. For example, いく (iku) becomes いくな (ikuna - don't go), いう (iu) becomes いうな (iu na - don't talk), たべる (taberu) becomes たべるな (taberu na - don't eat), する (suru) becomes するな (suru na - don't do), くる (kuru) becomes くるな (kuru na - don't come). So to answer your question on the negative imperative-form for "Don't do that!", it would be するな (suruna). The imperative-form for "Do that!" would be しろ (shiro). One common situation where this form of speech is used is when the speaker has authority or a supervisor role over the listener.  泣くな！ naku na! Don't cry!  はしるな！ hashiru na! don't run! 寝るな！ Neru na Don’t sleep これを食べるな！ kore o taberu na! Don’t eat this. ここに座るな！ koko ni suwaru na! Don’t sit here. きかいをさわるな！ kikai ni sawaru na! Don’t touch the machine! 心配するな！ Shinpai suru na  Don't worry about it. 運転するなら飲むな！ Unten suru nara nomu na If you drive don't drink If you go to Japan, you'll notice that imperative-form is also being used in some of the Japanese signs. For example, you may see the sign 入るな (hairu na), which is a "Do Not Enter!" sign, prohibiting you from entering an restricted area. =============================================== Check out my Youtube Channel!

- Check my video for more details! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fa_mpxJVzzE&t=537s ========================================================== At the moment the only way we have to give an order is to ask politely for someone to do something. 電話してください。 Please call me. If we want to add force to these requests we need to use the imperative. For Group 1 Verbs, For exampleよみます (yomimasu), before ます is み (mi). If you change it to e-sound, it becomes め (me). So よみます (yomimasu) becomes よめ (yome). Similarly, ききます (kikimasu) becomes きけ (kike). au → ae tatsu → tate wareru → ware kaku → kake oyogu → oyoge shinu → shine asobu → asobe yasumu → yasume 2 verbs For example, たべます (tabemasu) becomes たべろ (tabero), でます (deru) becomes でろ (dero). taberu → tabero okiru → okiro tojiru → tojiro Group 3 verbs are irregular verbs. Just memorize them by hard. The imperative-form of します (suru) is しろ (shiro), and the imperative-form of きます (kimasu) is こい (koi). kuru → koi suru → shiro ＜Used from people in a position of authority to their subordinates> Since the command form is strong, it isn't considered polite. For this reason, it's mostly used in by people in a position of authority to their subordinates. For example: 話を聞け！(hanashi o kike！） Because teachers are in a higher social standing than students, they can get away with using the command form. Still, due to authoritative undertones of this form, some teachers may avoid using this or limit the use to only when they are upset or angry with a student. <Used when it is in danger> The command form is also used in situations where relative social standing is not important. For example, in moments of danger or crisis, your warning message is more important than making sure you don't offend anyone. For example: 火事だ！逃げろ！(kaji da nigero!） <Used among guys> When using the command form in casual conversations, final particles such as よ are often attached to the verb to avoid sounding too aggressive. For example: 今日うちに来いよ！（Kyou uchi ni koi yo!） <Used to cheer up someone> It also has a very positive use as well: it is commonly used to offer encouragement, such as cheering at a sports game. For example: 頑張れ！（ganbare!） ＜Used for sign board> For example: 止まれ（tomare） =============================================== Check out my Youtube Channel!

- Check my video for more details! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaB7oOC5ius&t=531s ========================================================== つもりです(tsumori desu): to Intend to Do Verb + つもりだ The function is to express what you intend to do. One important point here is that the decision should have been made a while ago. Therefore, you cannot use this for decisions made on the spot. お酒をやめるつもりです。 osake o yameru tsumori desu I intend to quit drinking. 明日は家にいるつもり です。 ashita wa ie ni iru tsumori desu. As for tomorrow, I intend to stay at home. 海外の大学に行くつもりです。 kaigai no daigaku ni iku tsumori desu I intend to go to a foreign university.   Adding “to omou” or “to omotte iru” (~と思う, ~と思っている) after a verb that is in Volitional Form changes the meaning from “let’s [verb]” to “I am thinking that I will [verb].” Since “to omou” means “I think,” you can picture this grammar pattern as expressing a volitional thought or feeling that you are holding in your mind. For example, a person who has said “let’s do it” to themselves, internally. The difference between “to omou” (which is present/future tense) and “to omotte iru” (which is progressive tense) in this pattern is that the former implies a new thought (something you have just now begun to think that you will do). The latter implies a longer-term thought (something that you’ve been thinking for a while that you will do). お母さんに手紙を書こうと思います。 Okaasan ni tegami o kakou to omoi masu (I think I will write a letter to my mother). お母さんに手紙を書こうと思っています。 Okaasan ni tegami o kakou to omotte imasu (I’m thinking I will write a letter to my mother). お酒をやめようと思います。 osake o yameyou to omoimasu.

If the verb is a Group 2 Verb, simply remove the final “masu” syllable and replace it with “you:” 食べます → 食べよう (Tabemasu → Tabeyou) b. If the verb is an Group 1, its final vowe" imasu" must be changed to “ou,” which means its final syllable must be replaced (for example, if the verb in question is “Yomimasu ” change it to “yomou”. 読みます → 読もう (Yomimasu  → Yomou) c. If your verb ends with a syllable that is just a vowel (e.g. “Kaimasu,” to buy), the pattern is the same: 買います → 買おう (Kaimasu → Kaou) d. The irregular verbs “Shimasu ” (to do) and “Kimasu ” (to come) conjugate thusly: します → しよう (Shimasu → Shiyou) 来ます → 来よう (Kimasu → Koyou) e. Plain Volitional Form can be used in the same way as Polite Volitional Form. First, conjugate the verb in question into stem form. Then, add “-mashou” to the end of the stem. For example, the stem form of the verb “yomu” (to read) is “yomi;” so the Polite Volitional Form of “yomu” is “yomi mashou.” 読む → 読み → 読みましょう お茶を買って、外で教科書を読みましょう。 Ocha o katte, soto de kyoukasho o yomi mashou (Let’s buy tea, and read the textbook outside). 私達はカフェに行きましょう。 Watashi tachi wa kafe ni ikimashou (Let’s us go to the café).   If you would like to make your suggestion into a question, simply add the question particle “ka” to the end of the sentence: 教科書を読みましょうか。 kyoukasho o yomi mashou ka (Shall we read the textbook?) If you were to translate both 教科書を読みましょう (kyoukasho wo yomi mashou) and 教科書を読もう (kyoukasho o yomou) to English, it would be hard to differentiate between the two sentences. Their essential meaning is identical. The only real difference between “yomi mashou” and “yomou” is that the latter is much more casual, and should be used primarily with peers or with those younger than oneself. (This is as opposed to bosses, adults older than oneself, strangers, etc). f. Just as with Polite Volitional Form, a “ka” question particle can be added onto the end of a Plain Volitional Form suggestion if you would like to turn the suggestion into a question. 教科書を読もうか。 kyoukasho o yomou ka (Shall we read the textbook?) =============================================== Check out my Youtube Channel!

The conjugation is just to attach the plain (dictionary) form to と. When you use nouns and na-adjectives, you need to attach だ like 春だと. By constant results, we mean that it’s an unchanged fact, when you do A, aways B happens. You can use this for natural phenomenons, habitual actions, programmed actions, etc. 雨が降ると涼しくなります。 ame ga furu to suzushiku narimasu.

This has the widest usage and thus we can say たら is most common to express conditionals. The conjugation is to attach ら to the ta-form. By using this, you can express both actual and hypothetical condition. 夏が来たら日本に行きます。 natsu ga kitara nihon ni ikimasu. If the summer comes, [I] will go to Japan. 薬を飲んだら治ると思います。 kusuri o nondara naoru to omoimasu [I] think [I] will recover if [I] take the medicine. …なら: Contextual Conditions The function is to respond to someone in a given context. Regarding the other conditional words, you can set a context by yourself.

Sentences that use the ba form are less colloquial than the other conditional form tara (which we won’t cover in this lesson). The main clause (i.e. the first half of a sentence) can be a desire, hope, command, suggestion, or statement of one’s will. In order to conjugate an i-adjective into the ba form, you simply replace the final hiragana character い with ければ (kereba).  * いい (ii, good) has to be changed back into its dictionary form 良い (yoi) before it can be conjugated into the ba form. 高い  ➝ 高ければ takai  ➝ takakereba expensive  ➝ Iif it’s expensive 寒い  ➝ 寒ければ samui  ➝ samukereba cold  ➝ If it’s cold 面白い  ➝ 面白ければ omoshiroi  ➝ omoshirokereba interesting  ➝ If it’s interesting 美味しい  ➝ 美味しければ oishii  ➝ oishikereba delicious  ➝ If it’s delicious いい  ➝ 良い  ➝ 良ければ ii  ➝ yoi  ➝ yokereba good  ➝ If it’s good 時計は高ければ、買いません。 Tokei wa takakereba, kaimasen.

If the movie is interesting, let’s see it! In order to conjugate na–adjectives into the ba form, you simply leave out the な and add ならば (naraba) instead. The “ba” at the end of “naraba” is optional.  便利  ➝ 便利なら(ば) benri  ➝ benrinara(ba) convenient  ➝ If it’s convenient 必要  ➝ 必要なら(ば) hitsuyou  ➝ hitsuyounara(ba) necessary  ➝ If it’s necessary だめ  ➝ だめなら(ば) dame  ➝ damenara(ba) unacceptable  ➝ If it’s unacceptable 有名  ➝ 有名なら(ば) yuumei  ➝ yuumeinara(ba) famous  ➝ If it’s famous 安全  ➝ 安全なら(ば) anzen  ➝ anzennara(ba) safe  ➝ If it’s safe あのラーメンは有名ならば、食べたいです！ Ano raamen wa yuumeinaraba, tabetai desu!

You must use this verb when you are giving something or doing something for someone else. 私は友達にプレゼントをあげます。 - I gave present to friend. 車を買ってあげます。 - I'll give you the favor of buying a car. 私は友達にいいことを教えてあげました。 - I taught something good to my friend. (looking at it from the my point of view) 「くれます」 is also a verb meaning "to give" but unlike 「あげます」, it is from the receiver's point of view. You must use this verb when someone else is giving something or doing something for you (effectively the opposite of 「あげます」). 友達は私にプレゼントをくれました。 - Friend gave present to me. 車を買ってくれますか？ - You'll give me the favor of buying a car for me? 友達は私にいいことを教えてくれました。 - Friend gave favor of teaching something good to me. (looking at it from the friend's point of view) 「もらいます」 meaning, "to receive" has only one version unlike 「あげます／くれます」 so there's very little to explain. One thing to point out is that since you receive from someone, 「から」 is also appropriate in addition to the 「に」 target particle. 私は友達にプレゼントをもらいます。 - I will receive a present from my friend. これは友達に買ってもらいました。 - About this, received the favor of buying it from friend. 宿題をチェックしてもらいたかったけど、時間がなくて無理だった。 - I wanted to receive the favor of checking homework but there was no time and it was impossible. =============================================== Check out my Youtube Channel!

When “koto” is placed after a verb or a verb phrase, “koto” can turn that verb/verb phrase into what is essentially a long, multi-word noun. For example: 本を読みます hon o yomimasu means “[someone] reads/will read books.” But, 本を読む事 hon o yomu koto means “the idea/act of [someone] reading books.” ことKoto quite simply adds “ING” to the end of a verb. To Eat becomes Eating たべます tabemasu たべること taberukoto To Walk becomes Walking あるきます arukimasu あるくこと arukukoto To Drink becomes Drinking のみます nomimasu のむこと nomukoto こと（KOTO）turns a verb into a noun.

In English, a clause must contain a subject and a predicate at a minimum in order to be grammatical, but a Japanese clause only requires a predicate.  Forming the relative clause - step by step: ​1 In your mind, change the verb in 私は本をかいました to the plain form,  かった​  The verbs in relative clauses is always in the plain form. They can be in the past or present tenses or in the volitional (-tai) form, but they will always be in the plain form. ​2 Next, we have to change the word order so that 本 (book), the main thing we're talking about, comes at the end of the clause . . .   私は本をかった (I bought a book) changes to 私がかった​本 (the book that I bought) Note that the topic marker は changes to が in the relative clause. This is because 私 is no longer the topic of the sentence.​ In fact, our new main topic is the book. ​3 We can use the phrase we have just constructed in a sentence, by adding our second idea, which is  おもしろいです: 私がかった本は、おもしろいです。 ​The book that I bought is interesting. There is no Japanese equivalent to English relative pronouns (i.e. “Who“, “Which“, and “That“). In other words, Japanese relative clauses directly connect to the noun or noun phrase and any particles or pronouns associated with the noun / noun phrase are erased. 大きい犬 [The big dog] This is simply an い-Adjective, but it functions grammatically identically to a more complex relative clause. 寝ている犬 [A sleeping dog] Notice that (1) the relative clause can consist of a lone verb, and (2) the relative clause directly precedes the noun that it modifies. 目が大きい人 [A preson with big eyes] This relative clause is slightly more complex with both a subject and a predicate. 頭がいい学生[a smart student] Note that the relative clause connects directly to the noun that it modifies. 髪が長い人 kami ga nagai hito [The person who has long hair] めがねをかけている人 megane o kaketeiru hito  [The person who is wearing glasses] 猫が好きな人 neko ga sukina hito [The person who likes cats] あそこで写真をとっている人 asoko de shashin o totteiru hito [The person who is taking a photo over there] 毎日運動をする人 mainichi undou suru hito [The person who exercises every day] タバコを吸わない人 tabako o suwanai hito [The person who doesn’t smoke tobacco] 去年結婚した人 kyonen kekkon shita hito [The person who got married last year] =============================================== Check out my Youtube Channel!

- Check my video for more details! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDs87u2ihmo&t=550s “I think” in Japanese using 〜と思います (~to omoimasu). The subject of the sentence (the speaker) is often omitted. In other words, you don’t need to say “I” think, because it is obvious from the context. In the case that the subject is not “I” you must use 〜と思っています (to omotteimasu) instead of 〜と思います (~to omoimasu) because it is expressing what another person (might be) thinking. 明日は休みです (ashita wa yasumi desu) means “tomorrow is a holiday.” The plain form of the sentence is 明日は休みだ (ashita wa yasumi da). The second step is to add 〜と思います (~to omoimasu) to the end of the sentence. The result is an “I think” statement: 明日は休みだと思います (Ashita wa yasumi da to omoimasu) – I think tomorrow is a holiday. 明日は休みだと思います。 ashita wa yasumi da to omoimasu. I think tomorrow is a holiday. 明日は休みではないと思います。 ashita wa yasumi da to omoimasu. I think tomorrow is not a holiday. 昨日は休みだったと思います。 kinou wa yasumi datta to omoimasu. I think yesterday was a holiday. 昨日は休みではなかったと思います。 kinou wa yasumi dewa nakatta to omoimasu. I think yesterday was not a holiday. 先生はとても親切です (sensei wa totemo shinsetsu desu) means “My teacher is very kind.” To change to an “I think” statement, first change です (desu) to だ (da). The result is an “I think” statement: 先生はとても親切だと思います (Sensei wa totemo shinsetsu da to omoimasu) – I think my teacher is very kind. 先生は親切だと思います。 Sensei wa shinsetsu da to omoimasu I think my teacher is kind. 先生は親切ではない思います。 Sensei wa shinsetsu dewanai to omoimasu I think my teacher is not kind. 昨日彼は元気だったと思います。 kinou kare wa genki datta to omoimasu. I think he was fine yesterday. 昨日彼は元気ではなかったと思います。 kinou kare wa genki dewanakatta to omoimasu. I think he was not fine yesterday. 猫は可愛いです (neko wa kawaii desu) means “Cats are cute.” The result is an “I think” statement: 猫は可愛いと思います (Neko wa kawaii to omoimasu) – I think cats are cute. 猫は可愛いと思います。 Neko wa kawaii to omoimasu I think cats are cute. 猫は可愛くないと思います。 Neko wa kawaikunai to omoimasu I think cats are not cute. 昨日は寒かったと思います。  kinou wa samukatta to omoimasu I think yesterday was cold. 昨日は寒くなかったと思います。  kinou wa samukunakatta to omoimasu I think yesterday was not cold. 今日は雨が降ると思います。 kyou wa ame ga furu to omoimasu.

Hirugohan no ato de tomodachi to ocha o nomimashita. 授業の後で映画に行きませんか？ Won’t you go to the movies with me after class is over? jugyou no ato de eiga ni ikimasen ka. 薬を飲んだ後で、一時間寝ました。 I slept for about an hour after taking the medicine.

After doing my homework, I’ll watch TV 子供が寝た後で、映画を見みました kodomo ga neta ato ni, eiga o mimashita I watched a movie right after my child went to bed. たあとで also have the nuance of emphasising the fact that action B takes place after A (and not before). It’s good to remember that this grammar point uses the た form, which is the past tense in plain form. ほんをよんだあとで、ねました　 hon wo yonda atode, nemashita. I went to bed after reading a book (but between reading and going to bed I did other things, eg. brushed my teeth) てから is used when the second action (B) is going to happen straight after the first (A). In a lot of A てから B sentences, action B is only possible after completing action A. For that reason, it is useful when you want to express actions that take place in a specific order, such as in your daily routine. ほんをよんでから、ねました hon o yonde kara nemashita I went to bed after reading a book =============================================== Check out my Youtube Channel!

It implies that if you do not follow the advice, danger or a problem will result. It refers to something very specific.  運動したほうがいいです！ Undou shita hou ga ii desu! Why don’t you exercise (It’s better to exercise)!    When giving advice, it’s also common to add ね (ne) or よ (yo) at the end of the sentence. Adding ne softens the blow a bit, and adding yo makes it a bit more forceful (as if this person needs a bit more of a push in the right direction). 運動したほうがいいね！ Undou shita hou ga ii ne! Why don’t you exercise! (Nuance: Have you tried that yet?)   運動したほうがいいよ！ Undou shita hou ga ii yo! Why don’t you exercise! (Nuance: You need to hop to!

(Have you watched Japanese movie?) 日本行ったことがありますか。 Nihon ni itta koto ga arimasu ka? (Have you ever been to Japan?) 私は京都に行ったことがあります。 Watashi wa Kyouto ni itta koto ga arimasu.

The following are the rules for the 3 groups of Japanese verbs. Group 1 Verbs To change group 1 verbs from dictionary-form to nai-form, change the u-sound to a-sound in the last word. After that append ない (nai) to the changed words and you will get the nai-form of the verb. For example, this group 1 Japanese verb かく (kaku) ends up with く (ku). If you change the u-sound to a-sound, く (ku) becomes か (ka). Adding ない (nai) at the end, you will get かかない (kakanai). Exception: まちますmachimasuまたない matanai はなしますhanashimasu はなさないhanasanai かいますkaimasu かわないkawanai Group 2 Verbs Group 2 verbs are much simpler. You just need to change る (ru) to ない (nai) and you will get the nai-form Japanese verbs. Group 3 Verbs Group 3 verbs are irregular verbs. You just need to memorize them. The nai-form of くる (kuru) is こない (konai) and the nai-form of する (suru) is しない (shinai). In summary, the following diagram shows the rules when changing dictionary-form to nai-form for Japanese verbs. =============================================== Check out my Youtube Channel!
