Studying Japanese

Today a I have a Jjapanese class with my friend Musha ,. He he is from Japan and he is a teacher of Jjapanese language teacher. I have a lot of fun, and I learn many a lot of things about the language and the culture of japan Japanese culture.

"Nakita ko na" + yung/yang/ang + (noun = what you've seen). "yung" and "yang" (that & this) are informal so you use them in casual/informal conversation, while "ang" is something you will most likely use in written Filipino (formal). "Yung" and "yang" are short forms of "iyong" and "iyang," but Filipinos don't really use the long form anymore since it sounds ancient. =) "Nakita ko na" + 'yon/'yan. "'yon" = that; "'yan" = that (short forms for iyon and iyan) used in informal conversation as well. the subject is already known to both speakers. "Napanood ko na" yung/yang/ang + (noun = what you've watched) "Napanood ko na" + 'yon/'yan. meaning you've watched it. * You use 'yon/'yan and 'yung/'yang instead of iyon/iyan and iyong/iyang, respectively, if you speak in Manila or standard Filipino accent. Using tha latter will make you sound unnatural since they are used in some Tagalog dialects only, even if they are the actual word found in the dictionary. I also speak a certain Tagalog dialect, but I had to change the way I speak from my dialect to the standard one just so people won't find it weird whenever I speak. My answer is too long, I'm sorry.

beautiful saturday :)

 

Next weekend I will have my mid term tests. But why am I here? Why am I do not studying? ; (
I think people of all over the world do not like to study especially in term of if it is for a test.
How about you? :)

 

"be verbs" go before pronouns and nouns when they are used in question forms (example: Statement - I am good. Question - Am I good?)

 

Good luck on your exams! I hated that too when I was in college, but we all have to study for it, right? Hope you do well!

"Try this." - Subukan mo ito. But to sound natural, you can shorten the word 'ito' and say "Subukan mo 'to." Younger Filipinos now use the English word 'try,' making it "Try mo 'to." "Did you try it?" - Sinubukan mo? (Did you TRY it?) Or Sinubukan mo ba? (DID you try it?) Or Sinubukan mo na? (Did you ALREADY try it?) All of these questions are asked if there is already a presumption that you both know what you are talking about.
