Learn Japanese Adjectives and Grammar : How to Ask Questions in Japanese

[jalene150]

Dude I'm like have a crush on this girl now. Love her

[HAMMERxHCA]

So if I was in Japan and since I can't eat certain sea food and need to ask if a place has beef/chicken/pork etc, would I say- (chicken)WA arimasuka?

[Mariedono]

hontonii arigato gozai mushta

it helped mee sooo much

[dragonster82]

she sounds like there was something stuck on her throat lol

[TheDeadLike]

So, do we use "imasu ka" for person, "arimasu ka" for others? Like if I'm going to ask for a cat, I use "arimasu ka" right?

[p0rcelaing0d]

@TheDeadLike I'm fairly certain that the verb "imasu" meaning "to exist" refers to all living creatures. At the very least it also refers to mammals so you would use "imasu ka" in reference to a cat.

i thought apple was ochita?

[pinksparrow13]

i thought the particle ga, was used to introduce a new subject, i suppose it doesnt really matter for this but it said ga/wa, doesnt really matter

[BlanFan2O]

[water069]

Same but I want to learn it as for my primary language!!=D

[BlanFan2O]

[water069]

excuse me lol ringo ga arimasu anata no ka?

[macmacpoda]

anata no ringo wa arimasu.

the subject(anata no ringo) goes first followed by the particle(wa) then lastly, the verb(arimasu).

[macmacpoda]

just add the particle "ka" at the end of the sentence to turn it into a question: anata no ringo wa arimasu ka.

[macmacpoda]

anata no ringo wa arimasu means "there is your apple".

anata no ringo wa arimasu ka could mean "is there your apple?" which i think is gramatically wrong. lol.

[Glazedtear]

thank you^^

[Glazedtear]

would u say: is that your apple like this:

ringo wa anata no ka?

[Deizera]

No, it would be:

Anata no ringo imasu ka? (Is that your apple?)

[testofhp]

It would be Anata no ringo ga arimasu ka?

The reason for this is because the apple is not living so we use arimasu, and you must use a particle here, either ga or wa.

Hope I cleared up any confusion, also I love to help so don't be afraid to ask me questions.

Eh? It's sketchy. Because what you're asking is, "Is this an apple". She is asking, "Ringo ga/wa arimasu ka." More or less what she means by her phrase Do you have any apples? As in she would like to buy some apples. "Ringo ga desu ka." would be pointing at the object and asking if that is an apple, rather than do you have any apples? Does this help clarify the difference?
