Hello, my students.
We're going to be delving into some more complicated grammar in the next few weeks, but I figured I should give you a break first and spend some time building up your vocabulary. This lesson will consist of new nouns, verbs and adjectives for you to memorize... enjoy!
NOUNS
mado - window hondana - bookshelf tsukue - desk tansu - drawers/chest e - picture isu - chair todana - cabinet denwa - telephone heya - room otearai - bathroom shukudai - homework yasai - vegetable
All of the following words are written in katakana:
sutando - lamp terebi - television beddo - bed doa - door teeburu - table biiru - beer
VERBS:
Group 1 Verbs/ U-Verbs:
asobimasu - to play (This word doesn't just apply to children. Adults also "play") oyogimasu - to swin utaimasu - to sing tsutsumimasu - to wrap mochimasu - to hold yobimasu - to call, to invite
Group 2 Verbs/ Ru-Verbs:
misemasu - to show motteimasu - to own, to have iremasu - to put in tsutomemasu - to become employed (NOT "to hire")
ADJECTIVES:
i-adjectives:
atarashii - new akarui - bright (not as in, "intelligent") semai - cramped, narrow furui - old hiroi - spacious, wide kitanai - dirty, messy kurai - dark (not as in "morbid")
na-adjectives:
shizuka - quiet rippa - splendid, gorgeous yuumei - famous shinsetsu - kind jyouzu - skillful
These lists of adjectives should greatly expand your current Japanese vocabulary. For those of you who are serious learners, I would recommend writing these out on flashcards in hiragana, to improve your reading skills.
As always, you can leave any questions or comments for me here.
Study hard!
