1 Miraa-san, nan-sai desu ka.

The first sentence means, "Mr Miller, how old are you?" Nansai is a compound of the word nan, meaning "what" and the ending -sai, meaning "age." The second sentence means "I am seventeen (years old)." The addition of -sai to jyuu-nana changes the meaning of jyuu-nana from simply the number seventeen to seventeen years old

Examples: A: Shaafu-san, nan-sai desu ka.

(A: Mr Shauf, how old are you?)

B: Ni-jyuu-nana-sai desu.

(B: I am twenty-seven [years old].)

2 Miraa-san no otoo-san to okaa-san wa ogenki desu ka.

This sentence means, "Mr Miller, are your father and mother well?" This sentence

introduces a new pattern: Noun to noun wa To is a particle which is the Japanese

equivalent of the English "and."

Examples: Wootaaman-san to Furiimanu wa tomodachi desu.

(Mr Waterman and Mr Freeman are friends.)

Sumisu-san to Tanaka-san wa sensei desu.

(Mr Smith and Mr Tanaka are teachers.)

3 Chichi wa kaisha-in de, haha wa kookoo no kyooshi desu.

This sentence above means, "My father is a businessman and my mother is high school

instructor." This introduces the pattern: noun de noun desu De is a shortened form of

desu which acts as a connector of two sentences, adding the conjunction "and" to the

meaning

Examples: Woorasu-san wa rekishi no sensei de Gaadana-san wa eigo no sensei desu.

(Mr Wallace is a history teacher and Mr Gardner is an English teacher [Eigo=English])

Mearii-san wa ni-jyuu-go-sai de Jyuuri-san wa ni-jyuu-roku-sai desu.

LESSON 6 - The Weekend / Japanese Writing

(しゅうまつ / ひらがなとカタカナ)

Today, before you learn a dialogue, you are going to learn how to write Japanese

characters There are three Japanese writing systems:

1 Kanji: Characters imported from China long ago, each conveying an idea, usually having two readings A set of more than 7,000 ideographic characters used to represent concrete concepts such as nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs

2 Hiragana: A phoenetic alphabet, or syllabary (a set of characters, where each character represents a syllable) used to represent particles in sentences, verb inflexions (this usage is called okurigana), and other words not written in kanji Another use is to write them above Japanese text to indicate the pronunciation of Kanji (this usage is called furigana)

3 Katakana: Another phonetic alphabet or syllabary used primarily for foreign names

or places and words of foreign origin Katakana are written using straight lines

Besides these three writing systems, Japanese is sometimes written in Roman letters

called roomaji The three systems of writing above are used together (mixed) in written

Japanese
