Whoops, Japanese for the title... sorry, I was in a hurry. XD

you knw romanji? good
now you can start with your basics^^hiragana and katakana

Annariette 07-15-2007 05:47 AM

Yea, I'm working with it. ^.^ I just heard that it's easier to learn words in romaji and then learn hiragana and katakana so that it's easier to translate over. O.o

And it seems so hard to actually put the sentences together and say them, but I can understand a lot of spoken Japanese perfectly. ;_;

luna2 07-15-2007 05:55 AM

your welcom
if you still need help or ask som questions im here or you can go ask other pros on this forum im still a beginer T_T

Annariette 07-15-2007 06:00 AM

Beginner or not, at least you're learning from a teacher! ^_^ And the only things I'm having trouble with is sentence construction. I know sentences that are already constructed like Watashi wa .... and you know all that, and like how to say my age and what the weathers like, but I can't construct my own sentences.

Like if I wanted to say, "It's so dark that I can't see." I wouldn't be able to do that....

luna2 07-15-2007 06:02 AM

well hmmm that im not sure too T_T sorri....
i get confused too so ya
so you find the japanese word for "dark" and "see" then you turn it into a negativ-i dnt knw how to explain....T_T

Annariette 07-15-2007 06:08 AM

Yea, I understand what you're saying. ^.^ But, in a sentence like that, where would what go? "It's so dark that I can't see." I know there's some special word for this type of sentence and I can't see would be Watashi mimasen.. or something like that... O.O theres probably a particle or something that goes between Watashi and mimasen...

But, would it's so dark be before i can't see? it would right? and how would you construct the rest of the sentence before it?

luna2 07-15-2007 06:13 AM

i think watashi no ........miemasen desu. Oo???? sorri T_T miesen(i cant see)
i dnt knw where dark goes

Annariette 07-15-2007 06:19 AM

Miesen? But the plain form of to see is miru... and to make something negative don't you add masen? so wouldn't it be mimasen..? And doesn't the particle no signify some kind of possession? or maybe not? Because doesn't Watashi no neko. mean 'My cat.'..?

O.o ..(I keep asking questions... sorry ;_;, I'm quite curious though...)

luna2 07-15-2007 06:23 AM

i dnt knw T_T soo sorriiiii!!!!!!!!!
well the whole mimasen or miemasen
i just spelt it in romanji

That would be "Kurakute Miemasen" or "Kurai node miemasen".
Forget about using "watashi". I know they teach you to use it. But we Japanese omitt it 70-80% of the time because the listener will know who you are referring to.

What's the difference between 'kurakute miemasen' and 'kurai node miemasen'?

They both are coming from the "i" adjective "kurai" meaning "dark"

'kurakute miemasen' = literally The darkness is such so that I cannot see

'kurai node miemasen'= literally Because it is dark, I cannot see.

Totally interchangeble, though the second one may sound a little more formal with the use of "node" instead of the more familiar "kara".

"Kurai kara miemasen"

You mean on top of learning all the different conjugations for verbs there's also conjugations for adjectives? Or it kurakute a different word from kurai?

You have it right. Adjectives are conjugated too.

kurakute is a conjugation of kurai.

Annariette 07-16-2007 07:43 AM

;_; I just started learning the conjugations for verbs and there's so many! Adjectives too though? I guess it's not as bad as if I were learning English as a Japanese person...

MMM 07-16-2007 08:04 AM

Ha ha! So true. I think we have it easier...
