Question section

I got a few question from my student!
---
Teacherrrr help meeee(´;ω;`)
For adjectives like "すき" or "きらい"; they are sometimes used to say "I like/dislike *something/someone*", right??

Any way, I have a question about which should I use  in this case がor は…for exampleIf I wanna say 「I like Utada Hikaru」 which is natural 宇多田ヒカルがすき or 宇多田ヒカルはすき?(´・ω・`)
Also, if I want to include a pronoun I must say わたしは宇多田ヒカルがすき but not わたしが宇多田ヒカルが好き, right?? But I don't know why is that and it's confusing me a bit…(ㆀ˘・з・˘)------

(*宇多田ヒカル is a popular singer in Japan.)





Ok..let me think.....by the way..What a cute emotions u useeeeeeeed!!!!
oops!..sorry sorry let's talk about this questions.



I like someone/somethig.=わたしは someone/somethingが すきです。

I dislike someone/something.=わたしは someone/somethingが きらいです。


If u learn by heart this u can use easily. But I think u wanna know the reason. So I'll explain why we use like that. It's a little bit difficult ...try to follow me.





(わたしは)宇多田ヒカルがすき。=I like Utada hikaru

If u say 宇多田ヒカルはすき。=Utada hikaru likes.../ (I like only Utada hikaru.) 





Can u get what is different between them? Subject is different. First one's subject is わたし. However how about next one? 宇多田ヒカル became as subject. 





And in Japanese we never repeat は or が in a same sentence. u can use both in a sentence bit don't use more than twice.

That's why "わたしが宇多田ヒカルがすき" this is impossible.







-------from here I'll write for advance, cuz this is very difficult.--------


Subject  は Objectが Adjective です。

This is new grammar. I'll definitely teach this after, but now I'll teach u.
This grammar's form is same as わたしは someone/somethingが すきです。



今日は 夕日が きれいです。=Today's sunset is beautiful.

昨日は 天気が 良かったです。=Yesterday was good weather.

彼は 脚(ashi)が 長い です。=He has long legs.

もみじは 秋が 見頃(migoro)です。=Momiji's good season is in autumn.




....Is it enough?loool I can't find when can I finishXD
Maybe I can response to ur question and extra. I hope good for ur skill up.






If u have some questions u can ask me. I'll teach on here^^

Basic verbs 2 -for advanced-

Today's lesson is about Basic verbs 2! it's too hard to make this~; So after this post I'll have a restXD


First I planned to teach only present form ,but after we'll learn "+て" form. today plz watch only present form and meaning!lol





〈present or future sentence〉 Subject + Verb(u→i) + ます


〈past sentence〉 Subject + Verb(u→i) + ました






This rule is different from last one and a little bit more difficult. I'll give a few example for this one.




I run.=私は はしり ました。 ←look underline(verb)





What is the original form of "はしり"? Can u find it or remember? "はしる" is correct.
Then let's write both of them by roman letter!! I think it's the easiest way to get this rule> <


"hashiru" and "hashiri" attention last vowel(red letter)!! ui ...yes!!! those verbs have same rules!
u wanna see more right?




My brother will buy a car.=私の兄は車を 買 ます。(kau→kai)


I put on the pic.=私は絵 を 貼 ました。(haru→hari)


The baby stood up.=赤ちゃん は 立ました。(tatsu→tachi)







Next!today also I teach very useful grammar.




Subject + something に + Verb

something に = on something/ to somewhere /to someone

Make sentences -for advanced-

I said I wanna teach slangs and some informal sentences. But I think learning from formal sentences is better for ur skill up.

So today I'll teach formal sentences, ok?



It's the basic of Japanese sentence. after subject はorが definitely come. U should be careful ,we usually pronounce "ha" for は. How ever in case of after subject we pronounce "wa". Don't make mistake~XD





[formal]

Subject  or Object/Adjective です


Subject or Verb ます


Subject  Object/Adjective ですか


Subject Verb ますか





What different between は and が? um...usually after わたし we put は. When subject is something usually we put が. omg I found some exceptions, so I tried to find new rules!!





My brother is in the room=弟  部屋 に います。

(informal)I'll do that=私  やるよ。


*in case of this sentences Subject is more important information than Verb. S>V





But!!




Today is cold.=今日  寒い です。

I'm 26years old.=私  26歳 です。

I'm a teacher.=私  先生 です。

This is a cat.=これ  猫 です。

That is a cat.=あれ  ねこ です。


*in case of this sentences Verb is more important information than Subject. S<V







waaaaaaaaaaao!!! I'm genius right!?XD



Today's lesson is very important, so I'll give H.W.... I hate H.W←what?
U should try to translate thisone~If u write answer on the comment I'll check and reply.

Japanese new year celebration!

A happy new year あけましておめでとー!!!

Today's lesson is about Japanese culture-! I think Japanese culture is very interesting ,so now I'm planning to  talk about Japanese culture on here. I wanna tell u about traditional culture, modern culture and some funny thingsXD

When a year change to next year what do u do in ur home country? In Japan we have many traditional custom in new year's eve to new year's day. I'll teach general. First on the eve we eat Toshikoshi soba for wishing longlife and health. these are often eaten right before midnight.



 After a new year begin we eat Osechi.  Osechi are easily recognizable by their special boxes called jūbako. Osechi has lots of dishes cuz each dishe has different mearning. For example  Kuro-mame , (blacksoybearns) symbolizing a wish for health in the New Year. Kamaboko (broiled fish cake) has red and white colors. The color and shape are reminiscent of Japan rising sun, and have a celebratory, festive meaning. If u wanna know more, u can c  here→http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osechi



With this we eat Ozōni. Each family has different taste of it. In Tokyo generalos a soup of Mochi in clear broth. My family's too XP



After celebration we go to Jinjya(shrine) to pray for something. Most Japanese like to do fortune lottery of shrine. Last I got great blessing hahaha! but this year I didn't try yet,I hope sameone again!! oops..I forgot to tell this. If u got great curse or some worse lottery don't worry~tie the bad lottery to tree or rope of shrine ur luck should be better XD amazing! If u wanna know more→http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omikuji




Japanese traditional custom of a new year is that's all. I ate Osechi so much, so I overweighted!! oh~my~~~..I should loseweight.

Japanese greetings - for advanced -

Introduction

A happy new year! I hope everyone has great time in this year also^^
From today If I have time I'll try to teach Japanese. I think I'm a strict teacher XD



But I'll do my best to teach u, plz follow me. I don't know ur Japanese level ,so I'll separate biginner level, intermidiate level and advanced level. If u can read Hiragana ur level is intermidiate. If u have ever learned Japanese or u wanna learn Kanji u r advanced level. without them start from beginner level.





U know Japanese has three type letters Hiragana ,Kanji and Katakana.

Hiragana is original letter of Japanese. Kanji was came from China ,but most Kanji has Japanese original pronunciation. Katana uses for some foreign words.






So let's bigin. plz make a notebook for learning Japanese. When u get something u should write down in ur notebook.


I want u to memorize all Hiragana on this page→http://www.coscom.co.jp/hiragana-katakana/kanatable-j.html First read aloud and memorize shape and pronunciation. after that practice to write Hiragana. If u want u can memorize Katakana too.XP





From next lesson I'll use Hiragana so if u don't memorize u can't follow me
Do ur best! hahaha!!



[next lesson is Japanese Greetings]



*If u have some question u can ask me^^ plz erite comment. I'll reply.
