Oh here it is--Thursday! Oh to greet it is another fabulous entry of my exploration through the Japanese language. This week seemed to be more focused around the home so if you're looking for a theme, that would be it. Again, I am learning the language through the program Rosetta Stone as a grade eleven course. Without further ado, I present entry number two.
Housing and appliances:
Apartment = apaato
House = ie
Door = doa
Window = mado
Television = terebi
Radio = rajio
Computer = konpyuuta (applies to all forms)
Desk top computer = desukutoppu Konpyuuta
Laptop = nooto pasokon
Bed = shinshitsu
Toilet = toire
Sink = nagashi
Living room = ima
Kitchen = daidokoro
Bathroom = basuruumu
Dining room = daininguruumu
Family:
Family = kazuko
Grandfather = ojiisan
Grandmother = obaasan
Other:
Hug, embrace = daite
Kiss = kisushite
Fitting together sentences:
Imasu is used when talking about living things.
Arimasu is used when referring about nonliving things (Inanimate objects)
On top, above = ue
Under = shita
Inside = naka
Tamplate:
____ wa ___ no ___ ni arimasu/imasu.
Examples:
-Rajio wa teeburu no ue ni arimasu. (The radio is on top of the table.)
-Neko wa bouru no naka ni imasu. (The cat is inside of the bowl. [Just so you know, I don't understand why the cat is in a bowl either.])
Okay, so last week I provided you with the translations for big and small and no way to use them in a proper sentence so I'll help you though that now.
Template:
Kono ___ wa ___ desu.
Examples:
-Kono toire wa ookii desu (The toilet is big.)
-Kono doa wa chiisai desu.(The door is small.)
Okay that's is for this week, over and out!
