[9C] "She gets up at 6:00 every morning"

[phambaohoa]

Learned some new words today!

[ai43v3r]

this is my last question- what is the root word for "dekakimasu"? is it "dekaku"?

[eien21]

ok

i'll answer ur questions in the order u asked them

1. 8:15 is hachiji juugofun "8時15分"

2. asa "朝" means morning in general gozen "午前" stands for A.M. as in 9 a.m. (also, gogo "午後" is P.M.)

3. u may have misheard this word

it's dekakemasu "出かけます" and the original form (root word as u described it) is dekakeru "出かける"

btw if ur computer doesn't display the japanese i apoligize

i'm used to writing in kanji or kana

[ai43v3r]

are "asa" and "gozen" the same? coz i search the word "morning" from a japanese-english dictionary and it's written as gozen?

[ai43v3r]

the same as the question of ZShakib- how do u say 8:15?

[Nitsua177]

the time thing isn't as confusing as the rest of the stuff but i'm still gonna have to go over this video again sometime

[ZShakib]

oh yeah! and how do u say AM and PM when u say the time? 6:20 PM? Roku-ji-nijup-pun PM?

or when u want to say lets say... 8:15? hachi-ji-jup-pun-GO? i hope some1 replys! im doing pretty good with japanese but sometimes somethings in this series r not totally clear... /=

[ZShakib]

scratch that! WTF was wrong with me! XD

[ZShakib]

hhhmmm whats the difference between

NI and GORO? /=

[rkgrkg]

Ni is 'at', Goro is 'about'.

6 Ji ni okimasu. (I get up AT 6)

6 Ji goro okimasu. (I get up at ABOUT/around/approximately 6)

[ZShakib]

THX! ^^

[briab03]

If it is a continual or habitual action shouldn't the verb be conjugated with te form plus imasu?

[boru25]

The next part is more confussing! I hope I can learn this language!

[CoffeeSquid]

I'd probably bypass all the of the Hirigana. I'd also recommend something like the Oxford "Take off in Japanese" for a real language learning tool. Seems this video series is packed full of various flaws. Still fairly useful though.

[boru25]

Telling time is confussing at times!

[harpgos]

I think "Yan's" real name is Nick... This is fun to watch.

[HaoRhe]

how do you figure that? (just curious)

[harpgos]

I was on the Internet--talking about this series with some folks-- when the actor/musician, Nick (see credits at the end of this episode for his last name), came on and gave details about his work. Actually, he said he was the only "non-actor" in this. The rest were pros and were super nice to him.

[HaoRhe]

Ahh... thats cool

[sharktamer]

I saw the same site too. So cool that Yan comes along and starts talking about the series.

[sharktamer]

Nick Muerin I believe. I spelt it wrong, but that is similar.
