In both cases, t directly marks an item on the list of things or people that have something
in common Observe that $ replaces the particles 12, dr, or 2 in these sentences
You can also use t when you go to two places, do something on two different occasions,
and so forth

We put $ after the particle t= in these sentences More generally, particles other than d2,
"opposite X." You may also hear another word that is used in the sense of

Trang 23There are two types of adjectives in Japanese One type is called " kl-adjectives," and the other type " 3 -adjectives," L \ and fa' are their last syllables when they modify nouns

Japanese adjectives conjugate for tense (present and past), polarity (affirmative and
negative), and so forth, just as verbs do The two types of adjectives follow different conjugation patterns
LI-adjectives &\-adjectives change shape as follows You wiII want to be very careful here, because the pattern is rather complicated
Trang 24It is interesting (and confusing) that the idea of past tense is encoded differently in the affirmative and the negative polarities: ( iG % L 3 ) hi 9 f= TT is "past + af firnative, "
while (i5 % t 4 ) { &I 9 2 # A T*L R is "negative+past.l"
Unlike verbs, adjectives conjugate fairly regularly The only irregularity worth noticing
at this stage is the behavior of the adjective k \ L \ (good) The first syllable of t > L l is
changed to 1 in all forms except the dictionary form and the long present tense affinna- tive form.'
actually is exactly the same as the conjugation table of TT which follows a noun, as
The final syllable 3 is dropped in these long forms of 3-adjectives
'Some speakers follow a more regular conjugation, where C-if' is inert in both polarities For these
Trang 25In this lesson, we learn two Q-adjectives that am very important from the grammatical
point of view They are %I- $ ( Q ) (to be fond of; to like), and 3 4 L 1 f 3 a') (to be disgusted
f
with; to dislike) The meaning of these adjectives is relational, and you need two terms:
a p e r s o w like or dislike something on the one hand, and a person or a thing on the other hand that is liked or disliked In sentences, these two terms usually appear with the
particles 43 and fif , respectively.'
The item that is liked or disliked can also be a person You may want b be cautious using these words in reference to your preference for a specific person, Lowever, because 7 3
TT is usually taken to be an admission of one's romantic interest.5
Let us note three more things about 3r5 3 ( G) and 3 h L ( 3 ) before we go on One, if you
T
like or dislike something (or somebody) very much, you can use the intensified forms of
33 3 TP and 3 b L \T$, namely, A% 3 TT and A 3 h 6 \ TT These forms are more
common than the combinations of Ef 3 ( fd: ) and 3 b r ( ) and the degree modifier
%+
Z T $, to which we wiIl turn shortly
Two, when Japanese people want to say that they neither like nor dislike something, they usually say:
I fieither like nor dislike (it)
Three, you can use H 3 I'd: and 3 L; L \ Q as modifiers of nouns For example, you can say
f
things like:
41n contexts where you are contrasting two or more items, the particle CA is used instead of $5 Thus,
3 3 3 I 3 h T o 1 like vegetables, but I don't like meat
Trang 26This is pnu favode T V program
If you want to say things like "very hob.'' and "a little hot," you eaxl add "degree adverbsn
like Z T $ (very) and % I 9 2 (a little; slightly) before adjectives
vRG@l$ Z T % 3 f i ~ \ T L f z o TP, sea was wry bearutifd in Okkaawa
Y 3 % b 5 k
Instead of having Z T t added to them, % -r 1 (GI and 3 L; L 1 ( 3 ) have their own inten-
sified forms, A33 3 ( 3 ) (like very much) and A 3 b L \ ( Q ) (hate)
Ms Kina hates nutto (a Japanese fermented soybean delicacy)
will get the Japanese expression far "let's , " which you can use to swgest a plan of
Shall we drink coffee at a coffee shop?
There are two important things you should b o w about cPunting items in Japanme One,
we use different n r r m k wards for different kinds of items; the words used for connting
people are different from the words used for counting books, for example Two, number wards often came wFter, rat be^ than &&re, the items cwrmted in a sentence
