How many subjects are there in japanese (like in french there are 6: je,tu,il/elle, nous,vous,ils/elles)? and what is the conjugation of verbs?

thank u all so much

Answer 1

* Desu = Regular sentence ending.
[Hottodoggu desu. / A hotdog.]
* Imasu = For animate things. (animals and humans).
[Inu ga imasu / A dog.]
* Arimasu = For inanimate things (plants, objects).
[Hon ga arimasu. / A book.]
* Yo = when saying new information or when what you are say would end with an exclamation mark in English.
[Neko ga suki desu yo! / I love cats!]
* Da yo = Just a more masculine, informal version of the above. [Chigau da yo! / WRONG!]
* Ka = When what you are saying would end in a question mark in English.
[Dare ga imasu ka? / Who are you?]
* Ne = A way of asking if someone agrees with you.
[Hana wa kirei desu ne. / The flower is pretty, huh?]
* No = possessive or when saying "one".
[Kore ha Tanaka san no kuruma desu. / Over there is Mr. Tanaka's car.]
[Watashi no kuruma wa kuroi no desu. / My car is the black one.]

In Japanese, pronouns are considered rude in most cases and should be excluded. If you don't know the person's name, you should just exclude the idea of using it all together. It's not even good to use "I" unless you absolutely HAVE to point out that it's yourself. But it can usually be determined by the context for the Japanese.
But just so you know (in order of most polite):
* Watashi, Atashi, Boku, Ore = I
* Anata, Anta, Kimi, Omae = You
* Kare = He (but mostly used for "boyfriend")
* Kanojo = She (but mostly used for "girlfriend)

Verbs are a bit screwy at times so go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_verb_conjugations or http://japanese.about.com/library/weekly/aa031101a.htm

Answer 2

Hi, I am seeking to hooked up a institution for men and women who're all for finding out Japanese. Not a lot success to this point. I talk just a little. But, to a couple men and women it appears like plenty. But, it isn't. I taught it at tuition after which I taught English to Japanese. I have a institution web site already however I have not performed whatever there but so... I want men and women to be trained Japanese.

Answer 3

The answer to most of those questions and more can be found at http://japanese.about.com/ Basically yo is an intensifier used when a person is telling somebody something they think they don`t already know: Abunai yo! (watch out!) Da yo is casual forceful speech used by men. no is usually `belonging to` :Watashi NO namae wa andy desu. (MY name is andy) The matter of verb conjugation and subjects is too complex for me to explain so please check the website!

Answer 4

There are 6 subjects in Japanese:
watashi: I,me
atashi: you
kare/kareme: he/she
watashitachi: we
atashitachi: you (plural)
sorera: they

However, in usual speech, the main subject tends to be dropped if it is clear from context what is being talked about. (eg. o genki desu ka? instead of atashi wa o genki desu ka?)

Verbs, in general have two forms: present (-desu/-masu) and past (-deshita/-mashita). There are more for other situations (wanting something for example changes -masu to -tai desu) and there are about 6 different levels of politeness which change the endings too. The ones above are medium polite, and suitable for everyday use.

Answer 5

I don't think they use specific conjugations for verbs and generally"no" means of.For example ai no uta would be song of love.

Answer 6

I do know that "no" is possessive...
