japanese is fun to learn, the words sound cool to say! I just with I had a little more opportunity to practice it.

[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

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

@BlanFan2O if you want a way to learn japanese with out all teh extra practice time, chekc out my channel under the paylist "japanese lessons" it will really make a difference. You can skip lessons 1 and 2 they're just about greetings

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?

@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.

[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?

arigatto gozaimasu !!

[WakeMeUp96]

i thought apple was ochita?

[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.
