Do you know how to ask for instructions on how to do something in Japanese? |
Welcome to Three Step Japanese Practice by JapanesePod101.com. In this lesson, you will practice how to ask for permission to do something. |
Let’s look at the main dialogue. |
Two people are having a conversation. |
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. |
"あのきかいの つかい方を おしえてください" follows the pattern: |
Vます stem + 方 + を おしえてください (V-masu stem + kata + o oshiete kudasai) |
Please teach me [how to verb] |
This pattern is used when asking someone politely to teach you how to do something. |
Let’s practice with this grammar more in this lesson. |
