'Various names have been given to this paradigm They include "pIain forms," "informal forms," and
"direct style." Long forms, on the other hand, are often called "polite forms," "formal foms," and
"distaI style."
Trang 10As noted in Lesson 5, the adjective L > L \ is irregular Its negative short form is k < 3 ~ ~
Verbs in the negative need to be analyzed in more detail, because 7%-, u-, and irregular
verbs conjugate differently
Negative short forms of verbs (c above)

(1) The negative short forms of verbs that end with the hiragalza ?J are b td: I \ instead

of $Q~:L\,
f2) The vowel changes with the irregular verb < 4
f3) The verb $J B in the negative is l \
We now turn to discussion of how we utilize short forms In this lesson, we will learn to
use the short forms in the following four contexts:
In making negative requests ("Please don't .") (See 3 on p 157.) A
2This suggests that the bases of verbs like R 3 and % i actually end with the consonant w This conso-
nant remains dormant when the base is [illowed by the vowel i, thus we have 3 5t, where w is
d
lacking, but it surfaces with the vowel a following, 3T *- A b This mystery consonant also explains why
the te-form of such a verb has the small 9, just like verbs whose bases obviously end with a consonant,
such as Z 5 and 99
Trang 11I n expressing ideas like "I like doing ." or "I am good at doing ."
(See 4 below.)
Quotations To quote a person's utterances or thoughts, you use a clause ending with a predicate in the short form, plus Z S 7 T L 12 L f: (They said " ."I, kf ,E! ti, L I 3 T ((I think that ; ), and so forth L is a quotation particle, which does the job of both the English word "that" in indirect quotation and of quotation marks (" ") in direct quotation
1 think Takeshi likes Mary
Casual conversations Two people who are close friends or family members speak with short forms at the end of sentences, using them as a sign of intimacy The use of long forms, in contrast, tends to imply the speaker's intention to "keep a proper distance" from the listener Short forms, then, are like talking on a first name basis, while long forms are like using "Mr." and "Ms."
It may not be easy to decide when it is appropriate to switch to short forms First of alI, Japanese speakers are often very conscious of seniority A year's difference in age may in many cases totally preclude the possibility of establishing a truly "equal" relationship
3Note that the present tense in Sue's original utterance is preserved in Mary's report
4To say that you &'t f h i ~ k something is the case, it is more common in Japanese to say it like-$bl 2,E b1Z (I think that something is not the case) than l: ,Fi 1,125 +.?A (I don't tksak) Therefore:
( % L ~ ) $ ~ ~ ) - S A I ~ ) F ; ~ ? L P L ; ~ P @ ~ ~ ; J P ~ ~ ~ ~ , B ~ ~ S T ~
ft;&'t think Mary likes ~ a k e s h f (=l think Iw"a"ry doesn't like T a k a h i )
Trang 12Second, license to use short forms is not mutual; senior partners may feel perfectly
them with long foms Thus if somebody who is older, say, your Japanese language
return the favor
conversations
.In the casual conversational use of short forms, question sentences do not end with
the question particle but with rising intonation alone
T h e I? ending of 3-adjectives and noun + CT constructions (b in the previous sec-
tion) is usually dropped
In casual conversations, Cd \ and 2 are often replaced by the less formal .j and
-i i t L
To request that someone refrain from doing something, one can use a negative verbal
short form plus t { fF 3 I

Trang 29a Past Tense Short Forms
We will now contirlue the discussion on short forms, which nre started in the last lesson
Here we will learn the past tense paradigm of short forms
Kelow is a brief discussion on the formation of past tense short forms
3 replace T / P in te-forms with k / f 2
1 I,\-adjectives in the affirmative, and all categories in the negative (b above) '
+ replace the final L \ with h\3ft
! $-adjectives and noun + T b in the affirmative (c above)
3 replace f2 in the present tense short forms with 7?7fz
The two irregularities that we noted earlier are observed here once again They are:
Short form predicates in the past tense can be used in the same way as the present tense
forms, which we discussed in Lesson 8
Trang 30In represented, or quoted, speech
X-3,&[3., Y:3 * % a % & h s & 2 $ x i ? f b h f : Z s 9 T ~ 1 2 Y 3 6 % Lfzo
Sug said that she wore (had worn) glasses ia high school
Note that in Japanese the tense of the original utterance is preserved when it is reported
If you are reporting somebody's utterance in which the present tense is used, you must also use the present tense inside the quote Thus, if your friend Sue said 4, El $W & %
Sue said that she was studying Japanese
The short forms of verbs can be used to qualify nouns, much like adjectives can In the example below, the phrase & Z T + 5 % A, h c 1 \ ((reading a book over there) is used as
The studelet lwho is readkg a book over there1 is Michiko
The following table shows various forms of noun qualification The phrases in the boxes
qualify the noun A (person) to their right Example 1 is a straightforward adjectival
f + Y
example ~ x a r n ~ l e 2 contains a phrase describing a person's attribute (Lesson 7), example
3 has a verb in the short form (Lesson B), and example 4 has a 3-adjective, which is relational (Lesson 5)
2A quali£ying phrase like this, which has a sentence-like structure of its own, is technically known as a
"relative clause."
