Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! Today we continue our series of lessons introducing Japanese verbs of giving and receiving! Yamamori-san and Maehara-san planned to meet in Shinagawa, but it seems that Maehara-san is pulling a long day at the kaisha. Yamamori-san to the rescue! Or not? Today we introduce using ageru with the te-form of Japanese verbs to express doing something for someone. Be sure to tune in, and then come by JapanesePod101.com to leave a post!

Hmm… “almost helpful”. As in, “not helpful”, but close to being helpful? I guess I’ll have to find out in the morning.

Any chance of an example of Pitfall 2 in the pdf? intransitiveVte + ageru (bad)

Hmm, I looked around and found those two on different sites but yukkuri is definite? Then I have to change it 
Belton says:

っ small tsu strikes again っ
It is yukkuri, I missed that myself

Nice, JockZon-san, but the kanji for mou ichido should be 一度、 not 一同 (いちど not いちどう).

I think Dakarians also speak alot of spanish and portuguese as well. I like Senegalese music, and can pick up alot of what they say with my broken spanish.

Anyone heard from Our Vickyちゃん？
I’m a little worried with all the flooding there, and she isn’t hounding us for votes today and not available in the usual places.

私もちょっと心配です。I mean if Vickyちゃん is at home because she told me she was trapped, then she would have surfed the internet from home but, maybe there is a power cut. Oh well.
It was really a good idea to teach us how to say when you give someone something
Daniel Beck says:
August 3rd, 2006 at 7:17 pm
Wow, Our Vickyちゃん went a whole day without saying “Vote kudasai…blah blah blah…” 
Has she been taken over by the Borg…uh, I mean, Mixi?

Gevorg-san,
Welcome back! Sorry to hear about your accident. だいじょうぶですか？
Peter-san,
Hi! I know what the surprise is! I’m 99 and 7/8% sure of it! I just listened to the news from Saturday and I heard you mention Belton-san!
Belton says:

I should listen to more than just the Beginner Lessons so.
Oh the embarrassment

Liz-san… stop letting the cat out of the bag!
Ah, Belton-san… you need to listen to the news at least! That was your 15 minutes!
Belton says:
August 3rd, 2006 at 10:47 pm
ちがいます I timed it, I’m due another 14:25 at least

Liz says:

On today’s episode Yamamori-san said, “30 pun go ni tsukimasu”. My question is: What does “go” mean here? I thought this meant 35?
Daniel Beck says:
August 4th, 2006 at 4:32 am
Hi Lizさん、
“Go” in this case is not “five” but “later/after”.
(３０分後 ) not (３０分５)

I stayed in the Shinagawa Prince Hotel and walked around the area! Very fancy hotel! It’s definitely a cool place to hang out and very close to the subway/trains.
