"It is

"My

Note that none of these sentences has a "subject," like the "it,"
"I,"
and
"my
major"
found
in
their English counterparts. Sentences without subjects are
very
common
in
Japanese; Japanese speakers actually tend to omit subjects whenever
they
think
it is
clear to
the
listener
what
or
who they are referring to.
What
are
we
to
do,
then,
when
it
is
not
clear

make
explicit

Mary

American.
Wa
is
a
member
of
the
class
of
words
called
"particles."
So
is
the
word
lzo,
which
we
will
turn
to
later
in
this
lesson.
Particles
attach
themselves
to
phrases
and
indicate
how
the
phrases
relate
to
the
rest
of
the
sentence.
Note
also
that
nouns
like
gakwee
and
sesee
in the
above
examples
stand
alone,
dike
their
English
translations
"student"
and
"teacher,"
which
are
preceded
by
"a."
In
Japanese,
there
is
no
item
that
corresponds to
"a,"
nor
is
there
any
item
that
corresponds
to
the
plural
"-s"
at
the
end
of
a
noun-
Without
background
situations,
a
sentence
Iike
gakusee
desu
is
therefore
ambiguous
between
the
singular
and
the
plural
interpretations;
it
rnay
mean
"We
are/you
adthey
are
students,"
as
well
as
"I
am/you
are/she
is
a
student."
It
is
very
easy
to
form
questions
in
Japanese.
Basically,
all
you
need
to
do
is
add
ka
at
the
end
of
a
statement.

Question
sentences
may
also
contain
a
"question

like

(what).
In
this
Iesson,
we
learn
how
to

questions
using
the
following
question
words:
nun.;
(what
time),
namai
(how

nannensee
(what

Note.
carefully
that
the
order
of

may

quite

from
what
you

in

The

The

(being

the

Observe
that
in
the
first
two
examples,
the English
and
Japanese
words
are
arranged
in
the
same
order,
while
in
the
last
two,
they
are
in
the
opposite
order.
Japanese
seems
to
be
more
consistent
in
arranging

here;
the
main
idea always
comes
at
the
end,
with
any

description
placed

the
noun

in
the
sense
that

something

it

The
word se~see
is
usually
reserved
for
describing
somebody
else's
occupation. Watashk
wa
same
desu
makes
sense,
but
may
sound
slightly arrogant, because
the
word
semee
actually
means
an
"honorable
master."
If
YOU
(or
a
member
of
your
family)
are
a
teacher,
and
if
you
want
to
be
really
modest,
you
can
use the
word
kyooshi
instead.

Sun
is
placed
after
a
name
as
a
generic
title.
It

and a family

Children
are
referred
to
as
chan
(and boys in
,.:.I
.
:'.
,
pa&culaf
as
kurr),
rather
than
as
sax.
Professors
and
doctors
are
usually
referred
to
with
the
title
sensee.
Sm
and
other
title
words are
never
used
in
reference
to
oneself.
Referring
to
the
person
yw
are

to
b
The
word
for
"you,"
anaba,
is
not
very
commonly
used
in
Japanese.
Instead,
we
use
the
name
and
a
title
like sun
and
sensee
to
refer
to
the
person
you
are
talking
to.
Therefore,
a
sentence
like
"Ms.

should
be:

What
do
we
do
when
we
want
to
talk
about
things
that
we
do
not
know
the
names
of?
We
say
"this
thing,"
"that
one,"
and
so
forth-
In
Japanese,
we
use
kwe,
sore,
and
are.

Kore
refers
to
a
thing
that
is
close
to
you,
the
speaker
("this
thing
here").
Sore
is
something
that
is
close
to the
person
you
are
talking
to
("that
thing
in
front
of
you"), and
are
refers
to
a
thing
that
is
neither
close
to
the
speaker
nor
the
listener ("that
one
over
there").

Sore
wa

There
is
also
an
expression
dore
for
"which."
Here
we
wiIl
learn
to
use
dore
in
sentences
like:
rs"ktT-j-&~,
Dore
desu
ka.
Which
one
is
it
(that
you
are
talking
about)?
In
this
lesson,
we
will
not
explore
the
full
extent
to
which
the
word
dore
can
be
put
to
use,
because
there
is
a
slight
complication
with
question
words
like
dore,
Question
words
like
dwe
and
mni
cannot
be
followed
by
the
particle
wa.
Instead,
you
must
use
the
particle
ga
and
say:
-i
L
Z*&hz
&Qf=c?~
*>feTh',
~orega
anata
no
pen
desu
ka.
Which
me
is
yoiw
pen?
If
you want
ta
be
slightly
more
specific
than
kore,
sore,
and
are,
you
can
use
kmo,
smo,
and
am
together
with
a
nm.
(Note
here
that
the
re
series
must
always
stand
alone,
while
the
m
series
must
always
be
folbwed
by
a
noun.)
Thus,
if
you
know
that
the
item
in
your
hand
is
a
watch
Ctokee),
instead
of:
Zt-lAd
~k<
hTT&-o
Kore
wa
ikura
desu
ka.
you
can
say:
Z9Z&fW2
L\
(
hT-j-&~o
Kona
tokee
wa
ikura
desu
ka.
How
much
jS
this?
HOW
much
is
this
watch?
Similarly,
if
you
are
talking
about
a
watch
that
is
held
by
the
person
you
are
talking
to,
you
can
say:
+ar
t-$~lta
;x/-t~.~x/;?_~~~-j-~
Sono
toke
wa
sanzen
en
desu.
That
watch
is
3,000
yen-
And
if
the
watch
is
far
from
both
the
speaker
and
the
listener,
you
can
say:
&~r)Zd;f~\13
3&-85Lz*lP+
(
RLTT,
Ano
tokee
wa
sanzengohyaku
en
desu.
That watch
over
there
is
3,500
ym.
If
you
already
know
that
one
of
several
watches
is
3,500
yen
but
do
not
know
which,
you
can
say:
z*9rc3~\6~
~h~~/t+v+(;?-~/-r~fi~,
w~~~wu~c~~~~~uoY~vE~
Dono
tokee
ga
sanzengohyaku

Since
dono
is
a
question
word,
just
like
dore
discussed
above,
we
cannot
use
the
particle
wa
with
it;
we
must
use
ga.

Takeshi

(Takeshi's

We
now
learn
how
to
ask
who
something
belongs
to.
The
question
word
for
"who"
is
dare,
and
for
"whose,"
we
simply
add
the
particle
no.

In
Lesson
I,
we
learned
how
to
say
"Item
A
is
this,
item
B
is
that."
We
now
learn
how
to
say
"Item
A
is
this,
and
item
B
is
this,
too."

Michiko

Takahi
is
a
Japanese
person.
Mkhiko
is
Japanese,
&.
Note
that
these
two
sentences
are
almost
identical
in
shape-
This
is
natural,
as
they
both
claim
that
a
certain
person
is
Japanese.
The
second
sentence,
however,
is
different
from
the
first
in
that
we
do
not
find
the
particle
wa
in
it.
We
have
mo
instead.
Mo
is
a
particle
that
indicates
that
that
item,
too,
has
the
given
property.
One
thing
that
you
should
watch
out
for
is
exactly
where
the
particle
is
placed.
In
English,
the
word
"too"
can
be
placed
after
the
sentence
as
a
whole,
as
in
the
example
above.
Not
so
in
Japanese.
In
the
above
example,
mo
must
directly
follow
Michiko
san.

'We
cannot
use

to
describe
a
situation
like
the
folIowing:
Our

Pat
is
a
Japanese,
but
at
the
same
-time,
she
is
an
Americart
To
describe
the
second
half
of
this
situation,
we
cannot
say,
P~tto
m
~m&ajk
desas,
because
the
sentence
would
mean
that
Pat,
in
addition
to
sdmebady
that

been
mentioned,
is
an
American-
Neither

we

'In

dialogues,
there
are
two
sentences
that
end
with

call
for

attention:
Are
m

dmtl
we
(That
one
too
is
expensive),
and
Oishii
desas
yo
(It
is

These
sentences
cannot
be
negated
by
replacing
dm
with
ja

because
taka%'
and
okhii
are
not
nouns.
Are
