WARNING!!! If you're new to this site, start at the beginning!! Back up too the first entry (or whichever entry that has words you don't know) and start there. YOU NEED THE INFO!!!
WUS HATNIN!!! KONNICHWA!!!
Sorry, guys, that I haven't been on in a while, I'm having a few technical difficulties, and need to...... um..... enlighten you all Library Style. Oh, yeah. I know, real stylish, right?
Yeah, I know you're jealous.
So anyway, where were we? I'm trying to remember.......
I remember the last entry was about Hiragana and Katakana, right? okay, well, let's go over that........
Here's are some words-- get a pen and paper out!!
Hai
Ie
Yamaguchi
San
Wa
Arigato
Dozo
Nani
Ka
Nanika
Nomimasu
Nomimasen
Sato
Okay, that's enough of that.
Okay, now look back.
What do you remember?
Well, We know we've gone over hai, ie, Yamaguchi, san--
well, you now what you remember.
But, what don't you recognise?
Let's see..... hm... Dozo is one of them.
Dozo is like saying "go ahead". We'll get to that one in a minute..........
Let's go to Nanika. "Nanika" means "something".
Kayso, someone might be like "whatever-your-name-is san!"
And you'd be all like, "Hai, nanika?"
And Mr. Someone'd be like, "Sato san wa doko desu ka?"
And you'd be all like "wakarimasen!" (that means I don't know).
And Mr. someone'd be like "Kuso!!" (that means crap!! putting it nicely.)
When Mr someone is trying to get your attention and You say, "Hai, nanika?" it basically means, "Yes What is it?" or, "is there something (you want to say)?"
Kayso, Mr. someone's all like, "Oi" (that means "hey") Whatever-your-name-is san!"
What do you say? (GET A PIECE OF PAPER AND COVER YOUR SCREEN.)
Hai, Nanika?
Than Mr. someone'd say, "Sato San wa doko desu ka?"
What do you say?
Wakarimasen
Now. Mr. Someone'll say "Oi! Whatever-you-name-is san!!"
What do you say?
"Hai, Nanika?"
Mr. Someone says, "Nanika nomimasen ka?"
What word don't you understand?
Nomimasen, right?
"Nomimasen" means, "Won't drink" or in this case, "you won't drink".
Okay, look back-- What did Mr. someone say? (THINK-- YOU CAN DO IT.)
"Won't you drink something?"
Look at the word order; "Something you won't drink?" You should know that the subject of the subject comes first.
Now, here's what you say; "Hai, nomimasu!" Translate that to english....... I know you can.....
"Yes! I will drink!"
Okay, one more.... You ask Mr. Someone, "Kore o nomimasu ka?" ("Kore" means "this")What did just say? (YOU CAN DO IT....)
"Can I drink this?"
Then Mr. Someone says, "Dozo." Look back, What did I say this meant?
"Go Ahead."
Now read this;
Me: Oi! Sato San!
You: Hai, nanika?
Me: Nanika nomimasen ka?
You: Hai, nomimasu.
(I pour you something to drink.)
You: Yamaguchi san wa doko desu ka?
Me: Wakarimasen.
You: Hoteru de? ("de" means "at")
Me: Wakarimasen.
You: Kuso!!!
Me: Kare wa anata no tomodachi desu ka?
You: Hai.(To yourself)Kuso!! Kare wa? (that's just a short way of saying "where is he?")
After a minute--
You: AH!! Wakarimasu!! Eki ni ikimasu!
(You get up. In all that time, you hadn't touched your drink. I pick it up.)
Me: Kore o nomimasu ka?
You: Dozo.
Okay, I think that's enough.
Today's assignment; Write that conversation in Hiragana. All the stuff in parentheses you don't have to touch, but I want you to put "Me" and "You" in katakana. It'll help you to get the hang of that as well. And remember, GO OVER ALL OF THIS!! Even the stuff from the other posts!! YOU NEED THE REPETITION!! It's good. It's healthy. It's fluffy. It has essential vitamins and minerals. It changes lives. Embrace it. Hey a kitty.
Okay, that's all for now. I'll have another entry as soon as I can. TTFN!!! Love you!!!*^_^*
