Weekly Sentence

Includes romanji and Hiragana spelling, as well as a pronunciation guide.

Ponunciation will be so much easier if you listen and sing along to the Hiragana Chart Song (located in Gakusei Resources on this front page).

Sensei wrote:01.24.09
____ wa nihongo de nan desu ka. - What is ____ in Japanese?
____ ? ???? ? ?? ?? ?.

This sentence is formed with 11 sounds; wa, ni, ho, n, go, de, na, n, de, su, and ka.

wa - the a is pronounced like 'raw' or 'long'
ni - the i is pronounced like 'she', 'he', 'me' or 'we'
ho - the o is pronounced like 'no', 'code', or 'soap'
n - n is pronounced 'nn', with no vowel sound
go - the o is pronounced like 'no', 'code', or 'soap'
de - the e is pronounced like 'egg', 'said', or 'debt'
na - the a is pronounced like 'raw' or 'long'
n - n is pronounced 'nn', with no vowel sound
de - the e is pronounced like 'egg', 'said', or 'debt'
su - the u is silent; in this case, su is pronounced 's'
ka - the a is pronounced like 'raw' or 'long'

Nihongo means Japanese. Nan is a useful question word.

Sensei wrote:01.24.09
Japanese does not use question marks (?). Ka is used at the end of interrogative sentences as a verbal question mark. As in any language, your voice rises in pitch at the end of an interrogative sentence. Make sure to do that, it will help people know you are asking a qestion.


Useful Phrases

Useful phrases. Does not contain a pronunciation guide; ask for assistance if needed. Hiragana will be removed when new phrases are added.

Sensei wrote:01.24.09 Politeness

Sumimasen - Excuse me.

Onegai shimasu - Please.
???? ???.

Gomen nasai - I'm sorry.
??? ???.

Douitashimashite - You're welcome.

Why is desu "???"? Isn't there an extra "e" in it?

Also, I would suggesting adding "daisuki" in there as "really like." :3

Mikeru-san: Where should there be an extra e? o.o

I don't know. D8
That's why I was asking.
I think I've seen it before in Chinese, but I'm not sure.

I ran it through a translator and it said "groove". o_o
EDIT: Huh, it can also be "ditch". (tried Chinese -> English translation)

There shouldn't be one. I was asking isn't there an extra "e" when you wrote "? ???? ? ?? ?? ?." but I see you took it out. XD


XD Meeps: I forgot all my kanji. *headdesk*

Yep, and added daisuki.

The only kanji I know is nihongo, which was the first word I learned in Japanese.
