The particle "ni", on the other hand, is used to show location. It's usually used with stative verbs (as opposed to action verbs) like aru/iru (to exist). I hope that helps you out! :smile: Billyさん,

Is the 'de' the same as 'ni' in this case? In the dialogue, it says “Konya, ie de maajan wo shimasu!”

Is the ‘de’ the same as ‘ni’ in this case?

"negi" = spring onions. "... it refers to a gullible person whom you can take advantage of. The duck comes along with a leek, completely unaware that he’ll also be going into the pot…" It’s written above, but if you can’t read kana maybe you missed it:

“kamo ga negi (wo) shotte kuru”
“shotte kuru” = to come bearing.
“negi” = spring onions.

“… it refers to a gullible person whom you can take advantage of. The duck comes along with a leek, completely unaware that he’ll also be going into the pot…”

You guys are the best!! Using my Ipod it feels like I'm having a bunch of friends with me teaching me japanese wherever I go. :dogeza: Just one thing about the lession notes for todays lession: Am I the only one who misses the romaji for Natsuko in the PDF when she says that mahjong is boring, or is it just time for me to go to bed (01.13 A.M)? Keep up the good work! Jonas B Hi everyone,

I've been going back to basics and endeavored to listen to all of the J-pod lessons, starting from beginner, so here I am. Anyway, I love proverbs and this is one of the first things for me to encounter that I haven't already known in the lessons: カモがネギしょってやってくる A bit nasty with the kanji: 鴨が葱背負ってやってくる And it refers to a gullible person whom you can take advantage of. The duck comes along with a leek, completely unaware that he'll also be going into the pot... Anyway, I find this kind of stuff interesting. I'm using my chosen Japanese name because marky encouraged me, but don't be fooled as there's still a lot I have to learn. :mrgreen: 後で日本語のポストを書いてみようと思っています。 Fascinating that I should come to post about the very thing the last commenter asked about.

Good observations! Kanji is a lot of fun :grin: Max-san,
