Very true. I've been doin Hiragana for about two weeks...okay, well, here's Sore/sono, are/ano and dore/dono:

Sono/Sore- that (over there.) The object is further from, but not by much.
Ano/Are- that (way over there.) The object is much further from you than when using "sono" or "sore."
Dono/Dore- which (usually of three or more items) Like, "Which is blue?" (Dore ga aoi desu ka?)

Hmm...well, i haven't learned all the particles in the language, so it would be nice if you could list them along with what meaning they have ^^.

Also, "sono/sore" is used when the object being described is close to the listener, "kono/kore" is used when the object being described is close to the speaker, and "ano/are" is used when the object being described is far from both the speaker and the listener.

...There are over 70 particles...^_^; I don't think it would be possible to list them all.

lady_kyoko 01-05-2007 07:51 PM
Lol, wow, okay then ^^;;;

Then i'd just like to ask what the 'ni' particle means ^^.

In what context? Could you give a particular sentence? There are multiple "ni" particles that are used for different things, so...

yeah that's the way they say it. Because *u* at the end of a word, if there's a *K* or a *S*just before, you don't need to pronouce it.
Like in Arigato Gosaimasu, most of people don't pronouce the U at the end

I guess you got problem because the structure and the grammar is so different of ours.
Desu ka could be understood by *it is* but it is not exacly what it means...It's used to perform the verb *to be*
Nan desu ka - What it is/what is it
Dare Desu ka - Who is it
Kyoko desu - I'm Kyoko

I don't know if it's clear... sorry if I can't help more then this ...

Any thing is possible if you try. In Japanese if the verb understood you do not need a subject or noun (E.g. I am going = ikimasu) Further more In English (as well as Spanish I believe) "a verb must agree with its subject."

here is an example using "go" as the verb.

In English
Quote:

Person----Singlular ---- Plural

First------- I go------- we go

Second----you go ---- you go

Third -- he/she/it goes--they go


In Japanese

Person -----Singluar----Plural

First------Ikimasu------Ikimasu

Second-- Ikimasu -----Ikimasu

Third---- Ikimasu ----- Ikimasu

I hope that makes sense.
