POST CONVERSATION BANTER
Peter: Yoshi-san, let’s ask Takase-san what she thought of today’s conversation.
Yoshi: タカセさん、今日の会話はどうでしたか。(Takase-san, kyō no kaiwa wa dō deshita ka.)
Takase: Who wrote this script? I don’t understand why she needed to start screaming.
Peter: Because much like yourself, she is a primadonna. How do we say primadonna in Japanese, Yoshi-san?
Yoshi: You can say プリマドンナ (Purimadonna).
Peter: It works?
Takase: No.
Peter: Takase-san. Does it work?
Takase: No.
Peter: How do we say it then?
Yoshi: You can just say Takase.
Peter: I know listeners of japanesepod101.com will definitely understand that but how about for the rest of the Japanese people? What can we say if they don’t know exactly what we are talking about?
Takase: お姫様 (o-hime-sama)
Peter: The princess. Yeah, so that’s why she got angry because she is used to having everything her way. So you know, what, I can’t bring my dog in here? No, no, no, no so she got angry. All right, with that said, let’s get into today’s vocabulary. Here we go.

Lesson focus

Peter: Now on to today’s grammar point. We actually have a few grammar points. The first one is particles with the verb to say. Yoshi-san, what particle do we use with the verb to say?
Yoshi: と (to)
Peter: And this is followed by to say
Yoshi: 言います (iimasu)
Peter: Put them together.
Yoshi: と言います (to iimasu)
Peter: Okay, now if we want to point out today, what did we have in the dialogue?
Yoshi: 店員が、犬はだめだと言いました。(Ten’in ga, inu wa dame da to iimashita.)
Peter: Okay, give us that last part right before the と言いました (to iimashita).
Yoshi: だめだと言いました。(Dame da to iimashita.)
Peter: Now だめ (dame) is the word in there. No good, no go. This is followed by
Yoshi: だ (da)
Peter: And this is the informal of the copula です (desu). Now why do we find the だ (da) in there?
Yoshi: It’s emphasizing だめ (dame).
Peter: And that’s why you find that in there. Now on to the second point. The second point is compound verbs. Now in today’s lesson, we had two verbs that included だす (dasu). What two verbs were those?
Takase: 逃げだす (nigedasu)
Peter: To run away, to take off and
Takase: 叫びだす (sakebidasu)
Peter: To let out a cry. And the way we form this is, we take the masu-stem of the first verb and attach
Takase: だす (dasu)
Peter: So what’s the verb to scream?
Takase: 叫ぶ (sakebu)
Peter: What’s the masu-stem?
Takase: 叫び (sakebi)
Peter: We attach
Takase: だす (dasu)
Peter: And we get
Takase: 叫びだす (sakebidasu)
Peter: To let out a cry. Now in the case of to run away, we have
Takase: 逃げる (nigeru)
Peter: Take the masu-stem
Takase: 逃げ (nige)
Peter: Add
Takase: だす (dasu)
Peter: And we have
Takase: 逃げだす (nigedasu)
Peter: All right. So this is an example we will get back to over and over and usually in the case of a compound, it’s the masu-stem and then we attach the second verb.

Outro

Peter: All right, that’s going to do for today.
Takase: また明日。(Mata ashita.)
Yoshi: またね。(Mata ne.)
