Hey, buddy!!

Today, I will go over Japanese Phrase Pattern #1.

Statement Form : A wa B desu. A is B.

Question Form : A wa B desu ka? Is A B?

A indicates Subject, B indicates Object.

You can put Noun & Pronoun into A part.
You can put Noun & Adjective into B part.

Here are some examples.

Statement Form : This is a Pen. Kore wa Pen desu.
Question Form : Is this a pen? Kore wa Pen desu ka?


Q: Kore wa Pen desu ka? Is this a Pen?

A:
Hai, (Kore wa Pen desu.) Yes, (This is a Pen.)

Iie, (Kore wa Pen jya arimasen.) No, (This is not a Pen.)


You can also put Pronoun into A part of Phrase Pattern #1.

Q: Anata wa America-jin desu ka? Are you an American?

A:
Hai, (Watashi wa America-jin desu.) Yes, (I am American.)

Iie, (Watashi wa America-jin jya arimasen.) No,(I am not American.)


These are examples.
You need to memorize "Kore(This)""Sore(That)""Are(That over there)" in order to make Japanese Phrases.
And, also Pronoun" Watashi( I )" "Anata(You)""Kare(He)""Kanojyo(She)" are necessary as well.

Please, try to study this first.

Good Luck!!

  • Thanks a lot for your videos !! I just started learning japanese a few months ago and some things have been quite hard, so this is a great complement to my lessons and whatnot ;)

  • Nice video, but I seem to mix up Kono, Sono, Ano and Kore Sore and Are in my sentences. Do you have any tips for me?

  • Anata wa cocksucker desu ka?

    Hai, watashi wa cocksucker desu.

  • great video. but PLEASE CUT THE TV so we can focus on what is being instructed.

    otherwise ***** stars.

    thanks! keep em coming :)

  • Is been a long time from the last time that i've "see" you おぼろぎんさん, it makes me feel so happy to hear what i've learnt a while ago but said from you...

    *subarashi~(i don't know the kanji used for that word :P)*

    おぼろぎんさん is always a pleasure to hear you, how are you?
