[xXGlass_HeartsXx]

Since technically it's morning where I am right now:

Ohayo Yuki-sensei! 3nodding
Can I be one of your students please?

I know numbers and the "alphabet" (a,i.u,e,o. ka,ki,ku,ke,ko. sa,shi,su,se,so. etc.) ^~^
But only a couple of hiragana characters. (no, hi, n, u, i....and I think that's it. sweatdrop )

But I'm very interested in learning more~!

De & Ni

De - "by the means"

- Eigo de hanashimasu. (Speak in English)
- Kanji de kakimasu. (Write in kanji)
- Basu de gakkoo ni kimasu. (Come by bus)

Ni - "at a place", "at a time"
- Kin yoobi ni kaimono o suru tsumori desu. (I plan to go shopping on Friday).
- Ku ji han goro ni, watashi o netai desu. (I want to sleep at about 9:30)

Be careful with that 'ni'.
It is only for special verbs.
When marking a place you will often use 'de' in place of 'ni'.
Also, I'd love to learn about this 'ya' particle.
No idea what it's for...

Yes, you are right about "ni" :] It caught me all the time when I first started studying to be honest.

The "ya" particle is quite similar to the "to" particle. To = "and". Ya = "and" (in a list of things).

Example: Onigiri YA osushi YA tonkatsu YA oyakodonburi o tabamashita.

"I ate rice balls, sushi, pork cutlets, & chicken & egg bowl" :]

Clover would like to be on your student list 3nodding  

[xXSakura-chanxX67]

Hiii!! I'm new and thank you for accepting me!! Pleaseure is all mine!

I always get confused by particles, so de is basically use for sentences that's like, "I will put bubblegum ice cream in the bowl."? What about ni, no, to, kara?

The only ones I really know for sure is wa and ha.

Can I be one of your students?
