わたし は フランス で いきます。

So I left off with the the ability to find the root for a few verbs and how to conjugate them in their present forms. How about to put them in a sentence? That is what this post is for. The parts that are needed to make the sentences with verbs are particles. These particles differ in the verbs that are being used.

Lets get started!

で is the particle that indicates where the the event is taking place described by the verb like so:

うち　で　にほんご　を　べんきょうします。
This is translated to At my house, I study japanese


わたし　は　きさてん　で　いきます。
I will go to a coffee shop.


に is a particle with two meanings that I know of at the moment. 1) describing the goal as which things are going and 2) noting the time at which things take place
1)
わたし　は　うち　に　かえります。
わたし　は　かっこう　に　いきません。


2)
わたし　は　いちじ　に　うち　で　かえります。
じゅうにじ　に　にほんご　を　べんきょうします。
きゅうじ　に　ばんごはん　を　たべます。


に is very useful to describe time and what to do.


Finally we have the most used particle of all: を (which is pronounced as "o")
This particle denounces the direct object of which the verb of the sentence is affecting. 
テレビ　を　みます。
にく　を　たべます。
にほんご　を　べんきょうします。


So that concludes the particles. Now for the formula of a sentence...


I'm going to list out the formulas for different cases.


1) X は Y です


Person         は         Time      に             Place      で           Direct Object    を        Verb
2)マルクさん　は　じゅうじ　に　がっこう   　で　　　　  ええご　を　　　べんきょうします。　
Mark studies english language at 9 oclock at school.


Now I know that I have gone over how to form basic sentences with verbs along with the particles involved. 




We can practice making sentences and filing in the correct particles with the selected words:
1) メーアリさん　ほん　きさてん　さんじ　よみます
2) フランクさん　うち　はちじはん　いきます
3) ロバト　スウジ     とかあさん　なまえ　　　


I'm sorry that I haven't posted much vocabulary recently. Here's a lot to make up for it:
Britain - イギリス
Australia　オーストラリア
Korea　かんこく
France　フランス
China　ちゅごく
science　かがく
computer　コンピューター
politics　せいじ
doctor　いしゃ
high school student　こうこうせい
graduate student　だいがくいんせい
college student　だいがくせい
this one　これ
that one　それ
which one　どれ
this　この
that　その
where　どこ
who　だれ
delicious　おいしい
meat　にく
vegetabl　やさい
fish　さかな
menu　メニュー
cafe きっさてん
library としょかん


I still have yet to figure out how to get a subsite to make specifically for vocabulary so that I wouldn't have to do this in each post...


Anyways, じゃまた

こんにちは: Good Afternoon!

Ok, so I was somewhat busy at a friends house yesterday so I wasn't able to post. Today is a good day though as it is Friday or きんようび (kinyoobi)/ 金曜日 (in kanji it is literally gold day). So I have posted the two tables on the previous post, yet I forgot to mention how to pronounce the vowels in Japanese.

So without further ado, I'd like to show the easiest way to remember how to sound out the vowels:

In the order of a i u e o

Ah we soon get old.

So now we should know how to pronounce everthing, right?

えと, there is yet even more to remember, so there are the 46 base characters, yet for most of them, there are alternate ways to write them to make new sounds like ji ge za de do go etc.

Let me make the table:

あ - A	い - I	う - U	え - E	お - O
が - GA	ぎ - GI	ぐ - GU	げ- GE	ご - GO
ざ - ZA	じ - JI	ず - ZU	ぜ - ZE	ぞ - ZO
だ - DA	ぢ - JI	づ - ZU	で - DE	ど - DO
ば - BA	び - BI	ぶ - BU	べ - BE	ぽ - BO
ぱ - PA	ぴ - PI	ぷ - PU	ぺ - PE	ぽ - PO

The same things go for the katakana characters. Just use the same markings.

So There it is. Now tehre is more special ways of writting things to get the special sounds and I'll save that for later.
So now we can learn more vocabulary.

Mother- おかあさん (okaasan)
Father- おとうさん (otoosan)
older sister- おねえさん (oneesan)
older brother- おにいさん (oniisan)
younger sister- いもうと (imooto)
younger borther- おとうと (otooto)
job (work or occupation)- しごと (shigoto)
high school- こうこう (kookoo)
teacher (or professor)- せんせい (sensei)
telphone- でんわ (denwa)
name- なまえ (namae)
what (the question)- なに/あん (nani/nan)
anime-アニメ (anime)
and then...- えと (eto)

So this is a good list. I am hoping to make a subdomain with the vocab that I have listed in all the posts for all to see. I will write out the meanings for all and hopefully it will provide help for those who need it.

As for my normal good-byes: ではまた (see you later).

わかりました: Understood

So I left off yesterday with the intro to the meanings of the two alphabets: ひらがな and かたかな. While the Japanese write in these two alphabets, the shorter way of writting a few many words or sounds is using かんじ.

Here is the ひらがな (Hiragana) Table

あ - A	い - I	う - U	え - E	お - O
か - KA	き - KI	く - KU	け - KE	こ - KO
さ - SA	し - SHI	す - SU	せ - SE	そ - SO
た - TA	ち - CHI	つ - TSU	て - TE	と - TO
な - NA	に - NI	ぬ - NU	ね - NE	の - NO
は - HA	ひ - HI	ふ - HU	へ - HE	ほ - HO
ま - MA	み - MI	む - MU	め - ME	も - MO
や - YA		ゆ - YU		よ - YO
ら - RA	り - RI	る - RU	れ - RE	ろ - RO
わ - WA		を - WO		ん - N

And here is the かたかな (Katakana) Table

ア - A	イ - I	ウ - U	エ - E	オ - O
カ - KA	キ - KI	ク - KU	ケ - KE	コ - KO
サ - SA	シ - SHI	ス - SU	セ - SE	ソ - SO
タ - TA	チ - CHI	ツ - TSU	テ - TE	ト - TO
ナ - NA	ニ - NI	ヌ - NU	ネ - NE	ノ - NO
ハ - HA	ヒ - HI	フ - HU	ヘ - HE	ホ - HO
マ - MA	ミ - MI	ム - MU	メ - ME	モ - MO
ヤ - YA		ユ - YU		ヨ - YO
ラ - RA	リ - RI	ル - RU	レ - RE	ロ - RO
ワ - WA		ヲ - WO		ン - N

So this concludes the two alphabets of Japanese. Now we know what it means when I would say アメリカ (amerika or  America). By now I have already memorized the two alphabets and I'm doing this to practice so as to not loose touch of any of the characters.

So for today, I'm including some vocab words that some would want to know:

I (for your self) - わたし
U.S.A. - アエリカ
France- フランス
Japan- にほん (hint: It doesn't actually say Japan, it is said as nihon or nipon)
college- だいがく
language (like English language) - ~ご (ex. にほんご or えいご - English Language)

So I know that this post doesn't have much to talk about as it is just the table of the two alphabets and very few vocab words; however, I need to rest and I will try to post every day something new and exciting (maybe if you like anime tv/manga) and hopefully this will continue as a great blog!

As with yesterday: おやすみなさい。(Good night.)
