57-Daily Japanese Expression -Don't drink too much!

[rawkarpojk]

Is the "de" at the end short for "desu"?

[nihaojulia]

@rawkarpojk the ending -naide for a verb is like saying "don't do" something

like how -nai is like "not doing" something.

Wow.. kind of a tough one..

Thanks for the great lesson.

This would have been good advice for me if I had gotten on the computer sooner!

I had a cocktail with dinner! @_@

Doesn't adding ね to this kind of phrases makes you sound a bit girly?

[lissheim]

@SuperNEKO64 It just sounds more polite with the ne, as far as I know, otherwise it would sound like an order (don't drink too much!!!).

[OoNatsuchanoO]

@SuperNEKO64 not at all.... the guys I know use ね as often as girls do~

[japaneseformorons]

@OoNatsuchanoO

I suppose it's technically feminine but MANY guys use it. It adds a softer touch to the sentence. I'll just added a link to the description. Can you see it?

[Darkpatiri]

It's correct also with other verbs? ex. Tabesuginaide kudasai

Arigatou~

@Darkpatiri it is :-)
