未だね。

WO indicates the direct object of a verb.
WA is the topic marker.

As far as I understand it…
Kokuban WO mite kudasai. - Please look at the blackboard.
Kokuban WA mite kudasai. - Concerning the blackboard, please look at it.

“Kokuban wa mite kudasai.” could be a grammatically correct sentence. But it doesn’t make sense in this case because the blackboard itself is not the topic.

Someone with some real knowledge of japanese language correct me please. ^^

Great lesson. =D

what is the difference between markers “wa” and “o” (as “wo”)?
can I use “wa” in this case? it seems to me no, but why?
// kokuban _o_ mite kudasai

by the way, your katakana chart doesn’t have “extra” syllables
(which are not common for language).
the reason of my interest: I noticed the difference in writing and
the difference in the list of these syllables in textbooks.
I should like to see JPpod’s version…

It was of particular interest to me how these two are pronounced entirely differently:

hiku
tasu

The former was pronounced like ‘hikuu’ (long); and the latter more like one would pronounce the -masu suffix. Maybe, indeed, because the latter, in form, is so close to masu! Although I’m sure there’s a more scholarly explanation.

I think there’s an explaination sentence missing:
just before hai hai hai,
sensei says “mou sukoshi desu ne”.
what this sentence literally means?

thanks

Good lesson.

Today, I heard Peter advertize the “24OFF24” subscription.

I just completed my 7-day free trial and would like to take this special.
Please adjust my subscription rate accordingly.

Thank you.

this is an old lesson and it just happened sometimes. we’ve got checks in place now to avoid the confusion.
