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

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.

Belton-san, you know us so well.

Max-san, you got it.

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！

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.

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.

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??

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…
