Index • Is it true: “a negative sentence + ka” = “Do you want to …?” • Is the different between “yuubinkyokuwaasokodesu.” and “asokoniyuubinkyokugaarimasu.” just a sentence structure? • “ne” -final particle- • 199 common verbs • Online resources
1.Is it true: “a negative sentence + ka” = “Do you want to …?” • Yes, it is true when 1) the sentence contains regular verbs AND 2) it is in the present tense.
1. Example (Watashi /Anatawa)tonkatsuwotabemasen. I/You don’t eat tonkatsu. (Watashiwa) tonkatsuwotabemasenka. This doesn’t make sense. (Anatawa) tonkatsuwotabemasenka. Do you want to eat tonkatsu?
2. Is the difference between “yuubinkyokuwaasokodesu (The post office is over there).” and “asokoniyuubinkyokugaarimasu. (There is a post office over there)” just a sentence structure? • In Japanese, it is just the difference of the structure. However, the nuance between the two sentences may differ in English.
2. Example [English] In the first sentence, the speaker points the post office specifically. In the second sentence, he/she doesn’t. In addition, ‘a post office’ is less specific. [Japanese] Both sentences mean a specific yuubinkyoku, and the speaker points it.
3. ne (final particle) is used when… You seek for one’s confirmation/assessment. (e.g., You are fine, right? Genkidesune.) You want one’s alignment. (e.g., It’s hot, isn’t it? Atsuidesune.) You indicate your impression on something. (e.g., Sounds good. ii desune.) You want to continue the flow of your conversation.
3. example R: ohayou. Genkidesune (Morning. You look good.) Y: ohayou. Genkidesune (Morning. You look good, too) R: imananjigorodesuka (What time is it approximately?) Y: gojidesune (I confirm it’s 5 am.) R: soudesune (Yeah I can see your watch.). nana jinitoshokan de benkyouwoshimasenka. (Do you want to study at the library at 7 am?) Y: chotto, muridesune. (Hmm, my schedule wont’ permit) hachijiwadoudesuka. (How about 8 am?) R: hachijidesune …iidesune. (8am, you say? ...that works.)
