Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! Today is part three of our tonari no hito series. Take-san has gone and “handled” the neighbor, and now he’s back. But it looks like the neighbor has followed, and what’s that in her hand? Tune in to find out! This lesson wraps up and brings together many of the points that we’ve been working on for the past few weeks. After listening, stop by JapanesePod101.com and be sure to leave us a post!

First the moon, now Mars. I think maybe ヨシさん is user JapanesePod101 this week! :lol:

Ro says:

As a suggestion, to be politically correct, the International Space Station should have been before the moon and mars.

Am I the first???

Sorry, I mustn’t have been paying enough attention to the potential lessons…

‘Iu’ is ’speak, right? So ‘Ieru’ is ‘to be able to speak’. Thus, we get ‘ienai’ for ‘ can’t speak’.

It’s right there in the pdf, I just want to get it straight in my head.

Peter says:

Belton-san, you know us so well. :wink:

Ro-san, we already covered that one. :grin:

Max-san, you got it. :grin:

Ro says:

Ops! Gomen. It is now obvious I need to re-listen previous lessons. At least, two rovers are still rolling and being potential “listeners” on mars.

こんいちは!

Is it just me or are beginner lessons becoming intermediate?

People, could you help me out again? I’m trying to catch up with previous lessons.

“datta” is the same of “desu ita”, right?

The adjective for noisy is “urusai”, then why is it used like “urusaku”?:???:

どうも! :roll:

Alan says:

Joao-san

datta is the informal past affirmative of desu.
urusaku is the adverb form of urusai. It modifies the following verb.

I’m not clear what “nante” is. Is it just “nani?” What is the difference between “nani” and “nante?”

Thanks.

In this lesson, it’s short for 何と. The quote marking と gets changed to て a lot in informal speech.

Alan-san

ありがとうございます  :cool:

bakaneko says:

Ah, ic… Thanks, Jason-san. Textbooks only have formal-speech grammar. Wish there is a book on informal speeches, like this 何て/何と thing.

Max says:

Help!

I want to type ‘tsuzuku’, (to continue). but the second syllable is a ‘tsu’ with two dots. Whenever I type ‘tsuzu’ I get a ’su’ with two dots. How can I get the right Kanji??

Airth says:

Max, if you type “du” then you will get a づ!

こんにちは。日本pod101の先生のことの写真がありますか。

Hey, are there any photos of the teachers? I want to ’see’ who’s speaking.
ありがとう。

Sølvi says:

Sindy, my comment was intended for new listeners who haven’t seen the videos yet. With so many new listeners showing up these days, there must be someone who hasn’t come that far yet…

talking about beginner lessons becoming intermediate, a transcription of the bonus audio track would have helped :???: あまりわかりません

亀井 says:

So perhaps the

って 言う か may be better explained as something more like

“you don’t say?” or ” the deuce you say?”

Eh? Comments? Advice?

Also, the 口 に する seems to fit something like flapping one’s gums or something along those lines. I’m sure there’s many ways to skin the idomatic cat. I suppose I am searching for equivalently idiomatic phrases…

Enjoying this material immensely.

どうだった?ばっちりだったよ。っていうか。もっとうるさくなったけど。何て言ったの。あまり言いたくない。いや、言えない。酷いこと言ったから。教えてあげたいけど、その言葉を二度と口にしたくない。マジで、本気で怒ったの。彼女が可哀相だな。

また、明日。
