Today, we reviewed the demonstratives kore / sore / are (this / that / that over there). You remembered them well and were able to use them correctly.
Next, we practiced kono / sono / ano (this / that / that over there + noun). For example:
Kono wa watashi no kamera desu. (This is my camera.)
Sono wa watashi no kamera desu. (That is my camera.)
Ano wa watashi no kamera desu. (That over there is my camera.)
After that, we practiced expressing possession using ~ no desu. Examples:
Sore wa Miki-san no kaban desu.
Sore wa Yoshiko-sensei no kamera desu.
Sore wa Jane-san no nooto desu.
You did a good job saying that something belongs to a specific person.
We also practiced negative sentences using ja arimasen. For example:
Kore wa booru desu ka?
Iie, orenji ja arimasen. Booru desu.
You understood that ja arimasen is used to make negative sentences, and you used it very well.
For review, please practice:
kore / sore / are
kono / sono / ano + noun
Person + no + noun
ja arimasen for negative sentences
You did a very good job today. Your understanding is improving steadily. Please keep reviewing these expressions so you can use them confidently in conversation.
Konbanwa! Thank you for joining the lesson as always. It was great to see you again! In today's lesson, We learned how to use "How about 〜?,dou desuka?" and how to answer it "oishi i desu", "mazui desu", "oishiku nai desu",so on.
You can learn how to change an i-adjective from its positive form to its negative form. At the intermediate level, we studied the phrase "ureshiku narimasu," meaning "to become happy." Hearing you use that phrase made me happy as well. You are all becoming more comfortable with Japanese, which makes me very pleased. I'm looking forward to seeing your progress from here. Thank you for your hard work! Have a great week then. See you next time. Stay well!
