    Tutorial Learning Japanese - The Nihongo FAQ

    To be honest, I don't really see any sort of pattern in question formation. Like you showed us, the word order can be changed around quite freely as long as the correct particles are attached to the correct words (particles denote the relation(s) between words in a sentence). Though you're quite...

    Tutorial Learning Japanese - The Nihongo FAQ

    I learnt -te form in the exact same way, except it had two more lines to account for the other irregular verb くる kuru and the 行く iku exception: If you repeat this enough times, you'll probably be able to produce -te form without much trouble. I suggest you become proficient at this because...

    Tutorial Learning Japanese - The Nihongo FAQ

    There are always exceptions in every language, and this is no different. -te form for 行く also conjugates weirdly in a non-productive way (行って ×行いて)

    ROM Hack Densetsu's Translation Toolbox

    I think the general concensus is that a shogun is the supreme general and a daimyo is a lord / vassal of the shogun. The daimyo themselves then had samurai underneath them. But the importation of such words does raise the question of how much of the original semantic value is imported along...

    Tutorial Learning Japanese - The Nihongo FAQ

    I agree! Have you tried explaining to a non-native speaker why it's "If I were tall" and not "If I was tall"? Or why when you make a wh-question from a statement, the wh word moves to the front (as opposed to being attached to the like in Japanese, Chinese etc). Our orthography doesn't reflect...

    Tutorial Learning Japanese - The Nihongo FAQ

    Yo dawg, thank you for your concern! I got the naming mixed up. The "trick" I posted about is indeed about godan verbs (and hence the five different conjugations). For those who are interested, the yodan verbs do not have the last conjugation (volitional form / お), and that is why volitional...

    Tutorial Learning Japanese - The Nihongo FAQ

    suru and kuru are actually classed as irregular verbs, and they don't follow the same pattern of conjugation as the other verbs. They're always the two exceptions that you need to memorize conjuations for. As for imperative / command form, adding the ろ to the stem is a very informal way of...

    Tutorial Learning Japanese - The Nihongo FAQ

    I don't know if it's because I've been learning for a long time, but when I try to conjugate the polite form (-masu form) of either one as if they were the other type of verb, they just sound weird (c.f 食べます vs ×食べります ; 帰ります vs ×帰えます) Anyway, just dropping a neat trick I learnt from one of my...

    Because it's you, I decided to post :) There's really only one question I can think of right now: What would make you quit or give up doing Japanese to English translations?

    Gaming RUMOR - The Legend of Zelda seeing double-dose on 3DS?

    I didn't want to get involved, but there doesn't seem to be a limit to your stupidity. The correct romanisation for 火 is ひ/hi. Not huo, not ho, but hi. Whatever you're using to look it up it wrong. Second, if you can't find an appropriate word for something, don't shove random words in there...
