Lesson focus |
|---|
| Peter: Now for todayโs grammar point, you are actually going to have to stop by japanesepod101.com and listen to the bonus track because todayโs grammar point actually appears in the bonus track from the guys we are speaking. |
| Naomi: ใใใใใ ใ |
| Peter: Now todayโs grammar point is |
| Naomi: ใใ |
| Peter: Which is a particle that emphasizes a word, phrase or clause. Now in todayโs dialogue, at first Takao is talking about his date and afterwards he asks Masashi about whatโs he going to do on his side. Now by using ใๅใฎๆนใใ you is emphasized as opposed to me and he can express that aside from his own story, he wants to know about you. Now that I am done reading that, letโs give you a more informal explanation of what this all meant. We are going to take a look at a line from the guyโs conversation. ใ้กใใใพใใ |
| Yuichi: ใๅใฎๆนใใใฉใใ ใฃใใใ ใใ |
| Peter: Whatโs going on with you? So ใๅ is a very, very informal way to refer to you. You could be referring to a guy or a girl but itโs mainly used by guys. |
| Yuichi: Yes. |
| Peter: Guyโs word but it can refer to a male or a female. Thatโs followed by |
| Yuichi: ใฎๆน |
| Peter: Now ใฎ is the possessive particle and then ๆน is direction. So I guess here, he is using ใๅใฎๆน not just you but things going on in your side. So you and your life. And then we have |
| Yuichi: ใใ |
| Peter: So this emphasizes ใๅใฎๆน like you and things going on in your side. This is followed by |
| Yuichi: ใฉใใ ใฃใใใ ใ |
| Peter: How are things or how were things like what happened. |
| Naomi: ใใฎใใใใใงใใใใใฏใใใพใใฆใใฉใใใใใใใ้กใใใพใใใใฃใฆ่จใใใใจใใซใใใกใใใใใใใใ้กใใใพใใใใฎใใใใใจๅใใงใใใญใ |

| Peter: ่ใใใใจใชใใงใใ I have never heard that. |

| Yuichi: ใใกใใฎๆนใใใใใใใ้กใใใใใพใใ |
| Peter: And also, as this is more polite, you changed ใใพใ to ใใใใพใ. Of course the humble form of ใใพใ. So can we have a few more examples with ใใ? |
| Naomi: ใใใพใฃใฆใใ |
| Yuichi: ใใฃใกใใใใใพใใใ |
