| Hi, my name is Emiri, and this is Three Step Japanese by JapanesePod101.com. |
| In this lesson, you'll learn how to ask the way to do something in Japanese through a quick conversation. |
| Let's look at the dialogue. |
| シェフ、店のそうじが おわりました｡ つぎに、何を しましょうか｡ (Shefu, mise no sōji ga owarimashita. Tsugi ni, nani o shimashō ka.) |
| じゃ、このおさらを あらってください｡ (Ja, kono o-sara o aratte kudasai.) |
| え？こんなに？ぜんぶですか｡ (E? Konna ni? Zenbu desu ka.) |
| そう｡ ぜんぶ｡ (Sō. Zenbu.) |
| あのきかいは しょっきあらいきですよね｡ あのきかいの つかい方を おしえてください｡ (Ano kikai wa shokkiaraiki desu yo ne. Ano kikai no tsukai-kata o oshiete kudasai.) |
| おさらを きれいに あらうことは だいじなしごとですよ｡ (O-sara o kirei ni arau koto wa daiji na shigoto desu yo.) |
| でも、ぼくは、ここで、りょうりの つくり方を ならいたいです｡ (Demo, boku wa, koko de, ryōri no tsukuri-kata o naraitai desu.) |
| たぶん、来週かな｡ (Tabun, raishū kana.) |
| Let's look at it once more, with translation. |
| シェフ、店のそうじが おわりました｡ つぎに、何を しましょうか｡ (Shefu, mise no sōji ga owarimashita. Tsugi ni, nani o shimashō ka.) |
| Chef, the cleaning of the shop is done. What should I do next? |
| じゃ、このおさらを あらってください｡ (Ja, kono o-sara o aratte kudasai.) |
| Then, please wash these dishes. |
| え？こんなに？ぜんぶですか｡ (E? Konna ni? Zenbu desu ka.) |
| Huh? This many? All of them? |
| そう｡ ぜんぶ｡ (Sō. Zenbu.) |
| Yes. All of them. |
| Pay attention to the next sentence. It follows the key speaking pattern you'll learn later in this lesson. |
| あのきかいは しょっきあらいきですよね｡ あのきかいの つかい方を おしえてください｡ (Ano kikai wa shokkiaraiki desu yo ne. Ano kikai no tsukai-kata o oshiete kudasai.) |
| That machine is a dishwasher, right? Please teach me how to use it. |
| おさらを きれいに あらうことは だいじなしごとですよ｡ (O-sara o kirei ni arau koto wa daiji na shigoto desu yo.) |
| Washing the dishes cleanly is an important task. |
| でも、ぼくは、ここで、りょうりの つくり方を ならいたいです｡ (Demo, boku wa, koko de, ryōri no tsukuri-kata o naraitai desu.) |
| But I want to learn how to cook here. |
| たぶん、来週かな｡ (Tabun, raishū kana.) |
| Maybe next week. |
