Hello! This week we're going over Group 3 Japanese verbs. But first, here are the answers to Thought Assignment #11 from last week: Let’s go over some sample sentences for these Ichidan verbs. First, if you’ll recall, in last week’s post we discussed the difference between iru and aru. The conjugation for aru (group 1 verb) is arimasu for the affirmative and arimasen for the negative present tense. Also, sometimes in Japanese you can ask a question by using the negative present form. For example, in English, you might say “Won’t you go with me to the movies?”—which in effect means “Will you go with me to the movies with me?” With that in mind, see if you can translate the following sentences which include group 1 and group 2 verbs: 1. 助けません か? アレルギーがあります。私の部屋に犬がいます。 たすけません か? アレルギーがあります。わたしのへやにいぬがいます。 Tasukemasen ka? Arerugii ga arimasu. Watashi no heya (room) ni inu ga imasu. 2. 空を見ますか? 曇りです。 冬が大好きです。 そらをみますか? くもりです。 ふゆが だいすきです。 Sora o mimasu ka? Kumori desu. Fuyu ga dai suki desu. If you have any difficulty with the sentences above, you can review the posts Godan verbs (Part 1 and Part 2), Ichidan verbs and on weather. (Read to the end of this post for the answers.) Now, on to Suru (する) and Kuru (くる). Suru and Kuru are class 3 irregular verbs. Please note that suru is usually spelled out in hiragana. Suru means to do. Additionally, it has several special usages. For now, we’ll just go over the conjugation and I’ll give you a sample sentence.
Kuru means to come or to arrive. Kuru also has special uses. Again, for now we’ll just go over the conjugations.
Here's a nifty video featuring 25 Must-Know Japanese Verbs from Japanesepod101.com: At the end of this post, I cite very good resources to help in your study of Japanese. For example, many, many years ago, I used Namiko Abe's useful posts to help me build my vocabulary and I found the information very useful. While you're learning Japanese, or any language for that matter, I suggest you use every resource you can to get a fuller understanding of the nuances of the language you're studying. Don't rely on any one source. Do your due diligence to make sure what you're reading is accurate. (And, if you should find any inaccuracies in any of my posts, please let me know. I'm still learning and I would appreciate being corrected if anything I post is inaccurate. Thank you, in advance.) That's it for this week. Before you go, here are the two translations from above: 1. 助けません か? アレルギーがあります。私の部屋に犬がいます。 たすけません か? アレルギーがあります。わたしのへやにいぬがいます。 Tasukemasen ka? Arerugii ga arimasu. Watashi no heya (room) ni inu ga imasu. Won’t you help me? I have allergies. There is a dog in my room. 2. 空を見ますか? 曇りです。 冬が大好きです。 そらをみますか? くもりです。 ふゆが だいすきです。 Sora o mimasu ka? Kumori desu. Fuyu ga dai suki desu. Will you look at the sky? It's cloudy. I love winter. How did you do? I hope that you did well with these. Next week will be an off week for me. So, most likely there'll be no post. However, watch this space just in case I have time to add one. Thank you for reading. I appreciate each and every one of you. I hope your studying goes well. Okay, see you next time. Sources: Abe, Namiko. "Learn How to Conjugate Japanese Verbs." ThoughtCo, Jan. 5, 2019, https://thoughtco.com/how-to-conjugate-japanese-verbs-4058457. Abe, Namiko.
