Ah, okay, I think this is the extent of my Jap knowledge already. I'm already having some difficulties reading this lesson. XDDD

Anyway, what does ごせん mean? Gosen... I keep thinking it's five thousand. XDD

[elkica.livejournal.com]

extent of my Jap knowledge already. No. Are you sure? You probably just forgot.

ごせん...where did that small lines disappear? ... C'mon little guys, get back here.
It's gozen - morning, am

[fantasia0829.livejournal.com]

Ooooh!!! I was wondering... eh, gosen? Isn't that like, 5000? XDD

Fu fu fu, I desperately need to revise my Japanese.

[elkica.livejournal.com]

Isn't that like, 5000 Yup

[anc-q.livejournal.com]

and what about so called future probable tense?

when we say "I'll (probably) wake up at 9 am."
watashi wa gozen kuji okimasyo


also I'll comea bit further - how to say the constraction "let's do smth"?

[anc-q.livejournal.com]

aaaah - I wish we had smth like in the Matrix film - when you can learn things in seconds just loading them into your mind XD
I want to know everything and now! naaah - there's still a dificulty to translate thair language for me T_T

[elkica.livejournal.com]

when you can learn things in seconds just loading them into your mind That would be great.
dificulty to translate their language for me You don't have to tell me. I got this game where all they do is talk in Japanese and than you have to choose an option to go on; well... the point is that I can be happy if I understand one word from their sentences. Awful.

[anc-q.livejournal.com]

hehe =) where I can find such a game? ))

btw - I chatted with one Japanese guy and it was awful - everytime I had to tell him "aaaa - choto mate kudasai" XD but I was saved - he knows Russian =D

[elkica.livejournal.com]

where I can find such a game Well...I would upload it for you, but...there are some scene of cuddling between guys and somebody told me that at the end of it there is smut... o_O. Yaoi game. Do you still want it? ;)

had to tell him "aaaa - choto mate kudasai" *giggles* Know what you mean.

[anc-q.livejournal.com]

haha - where did you find it? ))) well, I would try it for Japanese language not for yaoi ^^

=)

[elkica.livejournal.com]

A friend gave it to me. Do you want it?

[elkica.livejournal.com]

future probable tense Hmmm...hmmm...I don't remember that, is either that I forgot all about it or we didn't learn, so you will have to post lesson for that.

constraction "let's do smth we use a negative form of the verb with ka or mashoo (I don't know if I wrote this correct) at the end of the verb, I have about two, three lessons that covers that.

[anc-q.livejournal.com]

ok - i'll explain here =)

do you know verbshave 5 bases/forms to create different structions? (I think you were explained that in your lessens coz you had already used them)

so for this future tense we use 2 base + masyo (you told me that suffix and that it is used for construction "let's...")
2nd base ends on i - e.g. (1st conjugation.) yomu -> yomi, kaku -> kaki,
(2nd conjugation.) miru -> mi
(irregular conjugation.) kuru -> ki, suru -> shi

suffix MASYO is polite form. (negative - MASEN DESYO)
future form of desu - DESYO (negative - DEWA ARIMASEN DESYO)

you can translate it as future tense as well, and as I understand also it can be that construction "let's..." and see, if we take it logically then the construction "let's" refers to the future as well. "let's eat" - it means that you invite someone to eat but you're NOT eating now - right? you WILL eat.
so "let's eat" in Japanese will be - tabemasyo (as I remember you can add KA in the end).

There's one more construction - you can use: 5 base/form of the verb to get the same meaning - it is used without any suffixes and is used in common language. 5 base is -
(1st conjugation.) yomu -> yomo, kaku -> kako, kaeru -> kaero
(2nd conjugation.) miru -> miyo, taberu -> tabeyo
(irregular conjugation.)kuru -> koyo, suru -> shiyo

so "let's eat" can be tabemasyo as well as tabeyo - it depends on who you ask. Wether it's your tomodachi or your bossu XD
I suppose it can mean FUTURE tense as well.

it's right that you can use present tense for future as well and just add tomorrow etc. I don't argue here +))

also I have smth for you ^^ I have a book that I try to read, there's not so may kanji (as some kanji words are written in hiragana)
I scanned the first folk story for you =) and wrote out kanji - how to read them.
if it will be difficult I can separate words for you as well. (for me it was) also if you have any questions you can ask of course =) I hopr you'll find it helpful =) if not now maybe soon then ^^

[anc-q.livejournal.com]

=) I found the whole book in the Internet - will let you know where to download it soon ^^ or I suppose it will be simplier for you to download it from sendspace coz that website is in RUssian.

[elkica.livejournal.com]

Yes it probably would.

I try to read a story, but after one sentance I gave up. For now at least. Did you read it?

[anc-q.livejournal.com]

aaah - that book wasn't the whole ((
well I don't have any problem to scan it for you anyway

I read it BUT I had comments in Russian and it was a big help that's why I could inderstand it. It's so pity you don'tknow RUsian (well, I'll try to think up smth)

[elkica.livejournal.com]

I'll try to think up smth Thanks, but don't. I will try to read it on my own. I will learn a lot more that way. *hopes so*

[anc-q.livejournal.com]

ok =) do your best ^^
