The quick and dirty tip is that you ask people to bring things to the place you are, and you take things to the place you are going." They are used for different situations, but these days native speakers don't really seem to differentiate between the two anymore. In Japanese, though, the difference it still very clear (motte iku, to take, something is taking something somewhere else, and motte kuru, to bring, someone is bringing something to where you are.) I hope that makes sense! Jim from Chicagoさん,

Whether you use motte iku or motte kite is decided based on relation to where the object is going? What is the difference between "take" and "bring"?

If so, please check the English translation. It says "I'll <b>take</b> the umbrella." Therefore the answer should be Motteiku. Nobap-san

I could well be wrong but I don't think there is a specific pattern for turning verbs into nouns outside of using a nominaliser. In the case of nukumoru and nukumori and other similar words I think it is simply the case that Japanese has both a noun and verb version of the word. Regarding -sa, yes -sa is always used to express -ness. I hope that helps. If I am wrong I'm sure somebody will offer corrections. :) Nick-san.

For instance, in the conversation they use the word o-tsumami for snack, but we learn that it is coming from the verb tsumamu. How do you know what ending to convert the word to in order to make it a noun versus a verb? I have the same issue with adjectives. For instance, I have seen yowai for weak, and yowasa for weakness, atatakai for for warm, atatakasa for warmth. Is it always "sa" on the end. For verbs do you just change the 'u' to 'i', like nukumoru to nukumori. Any brief explanation would be appreciated, or if I am making no sense then please ask and I will try to expalin more. Thanks for your help japanesepod ga daisuke desu. arigatou gozaimasu Good day,

I really don’t want to be such a boring person and complain, mainly because I really appreciate everything you do, but I’m having some trouble with the PDFs. At home, I use a Mac… I download the latest version of Acrobat, but I keep on seeing a message saying the file has some error and that I should communicate the person who created the file to correct the problem. Also, I can’t open the PDFs at work anymore, because there are no Japanese fonts installed. I have a monthly shift, I use more than 20 different computers and I simply cannot install those fonts in all those computers. I know we should always look forward and advance, so I’m not asking for going back to the previous method, but would there be a way of saving those files in a different way? Thank you for the help and I apologize for any inconvenience Hello, everyone!
