Konbanwa! Thank you for joining the lesson again today. I'm really happy to see you! Today we started studying Japanese verbs. In Japanese, some words that are originally nouns can become verbs simply by adding shimasu. For example, "benkyou" is a noun, and when we add shimasu, it becomes the verb "benkyou shimasu". The verbs shimasu and kimasu are irregular verbs in Japanese. These two are the only verbs that conjugate irregularly in this way, so it's helpful to memorize them early.
After that, we studied affirmative sentences in the present tense using full verbs, times, and days of the week such as, *watashiwa getuyubi kara kinyoubi made hatarakimasu. (I work from Monday to Friday.) *maiasa nanji ni okimasuka?(What time do you get up every morning?) → maiasa 6ji ni okimasu. (I get up at 6:00 every morning.) *maiban nanjini nemasuka?(What time do you go to bed ever night?) → maiban 10:00 ni nemasu. (I go to bed at 10:00pm every night.)
I told you that the material will gradually become more difficult, but that’s totally fine — daijoubu desu! Please take your time and get used to it little by little. Thank you for asking questions, and your performance was excellent too! See you again on Friday night!
