this sample lesson I'm going to teach
you how to describe things select your
hometown and your mother in Japanese
let's run how to do it there are Hajime
my show
in the previous lesson we have learned
there are two kinds of adjectives in
Japanese er active and na adjectives in
this lesson let's use those adjectives
to describe things or people in your
life
we talked about Japan in the previous
lesson but now let's talk about your
hometown hometown in Japanese is kuru
SATA to eSATA
so if you want to say my hometown is a
beautiful place you say who do Sedova
KeyArena tokura deaths in japanese
harissa Toa chilena pokhara des
now let's run a new question work which
is very important in this course what
kind of what kind of is a sequence of
three words in English but in Japanese
it is only one word
don't not don't know
so if you want to ask what kind of place
you say don't knock for Cora don't let a
cut-up
so how do you ask this question what
kind of place is your hometown
right in Japanese you have to phrase it
as for your hometown what kind of place
is it
who drew Sidora donut Tokoro deskah
guru satella dawn notochord ESCA
and in your response you can describe
your hometown as your right let me show
you some examples by using na adjectives
if you want to say my hometown is a
beautiful place you can say who drew
Sidora
hidden up tecora des
as a response to that question by the
way you don't have to repeat the word
who do cetera because it's understood in
the context that you are talking about
your hometown it actually sounds more
natural without who do cetera
in your response
you can also describe your hometown as a
lively place eg Akana
Pokhara des lydia konna tokoro des or a
peaceful place no dope anna pikura des
no da konna tokoro des
of course you can also use es actives to
say things like a warm place apart I
talk or oDesk
TACA TACA Radha's
or a cold place Samui
tokura des Samui tecora des
or you can even describe your hometown
as a place with delicious fish in
Japanese you phrase it like this
Saka Naga oh I see Pokhara des Sakinaka
you see tokura des the particle got here
marks a specific topic within the main
topic it is guru SATA in this case
so if I said something like this do you
understand what I meant here kudos a
toga toga Yasushi dr. Otis
huija satella Stoeger yes Ishita
Kuroda's
right I said my hometown is a place
where people are kind meaning it is a
place with kind people
okay now let's change the question let's
ask what kind of person this time Donna
stop don't - stop
do you understand this question oppa
Sawa don't a stop deskah
Basava Don - da deskah
right I asked what kind of person is
your mother
if you are answer is my mother is a
sweet or kind person then you have to
say ha ha ha
yes ah she stole this
hahaha yes assist Otis
here you have to be careful not to refer
to your own mother as a person when you
talk about your mother you have to use
the term ha ha instead of or person
if you don't know how to properly refer
to your parents please watch the lesson
family members in Japanese I'll leave
the link to the lesson in the
description box below this video
so my mother is a sweet person is hahaha
yes Ashish todas
if you want to say my mother is a cute
person you can say haha WA kawaii
stutters ha ha ha
kawaii status if she's a funny or
interesting person then you can say ha
ha WA almost 0e
notice
Ahava or Maserati studies
and of course as the response to the
question you don't have to say ha ha ha
when somebody asks you okusama don't - -
deskah you can simply say almost zero if
notice that's enough and actually sounds
more natural as a response to that
question
you can also describe her as a strict
person GBC studies or a difficult person
muzaffer she studies or by adding a
degree adverb a little you can say that
she's a little bit difficult person cha
da musica she studies chopped da musica
sisters
and of course you can also use a Nozick
tape like beautiful to describe your
mother she's a beautiful person
Karina stutters chilliness notice if you
add a specific topic like this as we did
earlier you can describe her beauty in
more detail mega chilena studies
mega tyrannous todas sees a person with
beautiful eyes
or coke or Agha tyrannous todas Coco
Rocha tyrannous to DES
she's a person with a beautiful heart
okay let's wrap up today's lesson you've
already learned how to say nationality
and the age in the previous courses so
let's add those sentences to talk about
your mother here let me use my mother as
an example
hahaha Nihonjin desu EEMA Nanaji casa es
su goku Yasushi todas
hahaha Nihonjin desu EEMA Nanaji
Josiah's sugoku yasushi todas
now let's state these three facts about
my mother in one sentence instead of
three sentences you can do so by
converting the ending of each sentence
less into debt like this this day is the
connecting form of death and we normally
add the comma after each day as you see
here
now this one long sentence means my
mother is Japanese seventy-five years
old now and an extremely sweet person
ha ha WA Nihonjin death EEMA
Nanaji josiah sugoku assessee todas
or I can add a specific topic like this
and then say my mother is Japanese 75
years old now and a person with an
extremely kind heart
ha ha WA Nihonjin death
EEMA Nanaji josiah sugoku coco raga
yasushi todas
or you can switch these two if you want
the wording doesn't matter much in my
language and the sentence still means
the same hahaha
Nihonjin death EEMA
Nanaji gasai de cocora da sugoku Yasushi
todas can you tell me about your mother
or hometown in japanese just like I did
leave your own sentences in the comment
