Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! As you know, in many cases the passive voice is preferred over the active in Japanese. In fact, it would sound unnatural to say, “Ryan asked me to go on a date.” Instead, you would say, “I was asked to go on a date by Ryan.” This may seem unusual, but it’s an integral part of the Japanese language that you must be familiar with.
This lower intermediate Japanese lesson focuses on all sorts of passive expressions. You’ll learn how to form natural-sounding Japanese sentences using watashi as the subject. In the bonus track, find out what the popular “troubled passive voice” is and how to use it to show empathy. As always, apply the Japanese in this JapanesePod101.com lesson to your life with the numerous examples and vocabulary words that you’ll be able to use daily.
