| INTRODUCTION |
| Eric: Hi everyone, I'm Eric. |
| Risa: And I'm Risa. |
| Eric: And welcome to Must-Know Japanese Sentence Structures, Season 1, Lesson 19. Talking About Something You Plan to Do. |
| Eric: In this lesson, you'll learn how to use a sentence pattern for talking about something you plan to do. |
| PATTERN |
| Eric: For example, "I'm going to drink." |
| Risa: ι£²γΏγ«θ‘γγΎγγ (Nomi ni ikimasu.) |
| Risa: [slow] ι£²γΏγ«θ‘γγΎγγ (Nomi ni ikimasu.) |
| Eric: The pattern for talking about something you plan to do has 3 elements. First, the masu-stem of the verb meaning "to drink." |
| Risa: ι£²γΏ (Nomi-). |
| Eric: Second, the particle indicating purpose of movement, in this case, "in order to." |
| Risa: γ« (ni). |
| Eric: Third is the masu-form of the verb meaning "to go." |
| Risa: θ‘γγΎγ (ikimasu). |
| Eric: Altogether, we have, "I'm going to drink." |
| Risa: ι£²γΏγ«θ‘γγΎγγ (Nomi ni ikimasu.) [slow] ι£²γΏγ«θ‘γγΎγγ (Nomi ni ikimasu.) [normal] ι£²γΏγ«θ‘γγΎγγ (Nomi ni ikimasu.) |
| Eric: To say βI'm going to do [something]β in Japanese, the masu-stem of a verb comes first. In the case of the example sentence, this is |
| Risa: ι£²γΏ (nomi-), |
| Eric: plus a particle indicating the purpose of action, |
| Risa: γ« (ni), |
| Eric: and at the end the verb for "will go." |
| Risa: θ‘γγΎγ (ikimasu) |
| Risa: ι£²γΏγ«θ‘γγΎγγ (Nomi ni ikimasu.) |
| Eric: So remember, to talk about something you are going to do, say a verbal phrase with the masu-stem, then add |
| Risa: γ«θ‘γγΎγ(ni ikimasu). |
| Eric: Hereβs another example meaning, "I will go to see a movie." First, we need the verb phrase meaning "to see a movie" with the masu-stem of the verb. This time, letβs break the phrase down. First we have |
| Risa: ζ η» (Eiga) |
| Eric: meaning "movie," followed by an object marking particle, |
| Risa: γ (o) |
| Eric: and the masu-stem of the verb meaning "to see," |
| Risa: θ¦ (mi-). |
| Eric: All together, the phrase meaning βto see a movieβ is |
| Risa: ζ η»γθ¦ (Eiga o mi-). |
| Eric: Second, we need the particle indicating purpose of movement. In this case, "in order to" |
| Risa: γ« (ni). |
| Eric: Third, the masu-form of the verb meaning "to go." |
| Risa: θ‘γγΎγ (ikimasu). |
| Eric: Altogether we have... |
| Risa: ζ η»γθ¦γ«θ‘γγΎγγ (Eiga o mi ni ikimasu.) [slow] ζ η»γθ¦γ«θ‘γγΎγγ (Eiga o mi ni ikimasu.) [normal] ζ η»γθ¦γ«θ‘γγΎγγ (Eiga o mi ni ikimasu.) |
| Eric: "I will go to see a movie." |
| [pause] |
| Risa: ζ η»γθ¦γ«θ‘γγΎγγ (Eiga o mi ni ikimasu.) |
| Eric: How do you say "I will go to borrow a book"? To give you a hint, "to borrow" is⦠|
| Risa:γεγγγ(kariru) |
| Eric: and its masu-form is |
| Risa: εγγΎγ (karimasu). [slow] εγγΎγ (karimasu). [normal] εγγΎγ (karimasu). |
| Eric: "I will go to borrow a book." |
| [pause] |
| Risa: ζ¬γεγγ«θ‘γγΎγγ (Hon o kari ni ikimasu.) [slow] ζ¬γεγγ«θ‘γγΎγγ (Hon o kari ni ikimasu.) [normal] ζ¬γεγγ«θ‘γγΎγγ (Hon o kari ni ikimasu.) |
| [pause] |
| Risa: ζ¬γεγγ«θ‘γγΎγγ (Hon o kari ni ikimasu.) |
