It's used to connect two clauses, where the first clause is a condition that must be met for the second clause to happen. - * **How to form it:** You take the plain past tense of a verb (the `た-form`) and simply add `ら`. For example, `着く` (tsuku, to arrive) becomes `着いた` (tsuita), and then you add `ら` to get `着いたら` (tsuitara, "when/if you arrive"). - - **For adjectives and nouns:** - - い-Adjectives: Change the final `い` to `かったら`. (e.g., `寒い` -> `寒かったら` - if it's cold) - - な-Adjectives/Nouns: Add `だったら`. (e.g., `暇` -> `暇だったら` - if you're free) - * **When to use it:** It's great for both guaranteed future events ("**When** I turn 20, I will...") and hypotheticals ("**If** I won the lottery, I would..."). It strongly implies that the first action *must* happen before the second can begin. +1. **~みたいです (Looks Like):** + * Used to create similes or make observations. + * Can be used with verbs (plain form), nouns, and adjectives. + * With nouns, it creates a metaphor ("like a computer"). + * With verbs and adjectives, it's more of an observation ("looks like he is tired"). -2. **Expressing "No Need To" with `なくてもいいです`:** - * **What it is:** This pattern is used to tell someone that they are not obligated to do something. It's a polite way of saying "You don't have to..." or "It's okay if you don't..." - * **How to form it:** Take the plain negative `ない` form of a verb. For example, `持つ` (motsu, to hold) becomes `持たない` (motanai). Then, you drop the final `い` and add `くてもいいです`. So, `持たない` becomes `持たなくてもいいです` (motanakutemo ii desu, "you don't have to hold it"). - * **When to use it:** Use this to grant permission *not* to do something. It's the gentle opposite of giving a command. For instance, at a friend's house, you might be told `靴を脱がなくてもいいです` (kutsu o nuganakutemo ii desu), meaning "It's okay if you don't take off your shoes." +2. **前に (Before):** + * Indicates that one action happens before another. + * Used with a verb in its dictionary form or a noun with `の`. + * The verb in the `前に` clause is always non-past, non-polite. + +- Make 5 example sentences with `みたいです` +- Make 5 example sentences with `前に` +- Review the new vocabulary +- Read the synthesized notes and prepare for next class \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/20-Knowledge/Synthesized-Japanese-Class-Notes.md b/20-Knowledge/Synthesized-Japanese-Class-Notes.md index 11449ce..19bd9ac 100644 --- a/20-Knowledge/Synthesized-Japanese-Class-Notes.md +++ b/20-Knowledge/Synthesized-Japanese-Class-Notes.md @@ -310,6 +310,10 @@ You can express potential without conjugating the verb into its unique form by u ### Nouns +- **Nouns (General):** + - 交通事項 (こうつうじこ) -> Traffic Accident + - 太陽 (たいよう) -> Sun + - 歯 (は) -> Teeth - **People & Titles:** うんてんしゅ (driver), おとしより (elderly person), かいしゃいん (office worker), きょうだい (spiritual brother), ちょうろ (elder), 安愛がかり (あんないがかり) - Greeter, お金持ち (rich person), 奥さん (おくさん) - Wife (someone else's), 旦那さん (だんなさん) - Husband (someone else's) - **Places:** おうこくかいかん (Kingdom Hall), くうこう (airport), こうえん (park), しやくしょ (city hall), としょかん (library), びじゅつかん (art museum), ゆうびんきょく (post office) - **Time & Frequency:** あさって (day after tomorrow), いちにちじゅう (all day), おととい (two days ago), こんど (next time), しょうがつ / しんねん (New Years), まいしゅう (every week), 将来 (しょうらい) - near future diff --git a/30-MOCs/MOC_Languages.md b/30-MOCs/MOC_Languages.md index 34435b3..81cd60c 100644 --- a/30-MOCs/MOC_Languages.md +++ b/30-MOCs/MOC_Languages.md @@ -47,6 +47,8 @@ This Map of Content (MOC) serves as a living table of contents for all synthesiz - [[Synthesized-Japanese-Class-Notes#Hearsay (そうです)|Hearsay (そうです)]] - *Added: 2025-11-20* - [[Synthesized-Japanese-Class-Notes#Confirmation Conditions (ra)|Confirmation Conditions (ra)]] - *Added: 2025-12-04* - [[Synthesized-Japanese-Class-Notes#Need Not To (nakutemo iidesu)|Need Not To (nakutemo iidesu)]] - *Added: 2025-12-04* +- [[Synthesized-Japanese-Class-Notes#Looks Like (~mitai desu)|Looks Like (~mitai desu)]] - *Added: 2025-12-11* +- [[Synthesized-Japanese-Class-Notes#Before (mae ni)|Before (mae ni)]] - *Added: 2025-12-11* ### [[Synthesized-Japanese-Class-Notes#Vocabulary|Vocabulary]] - [[Synthesized-Japanese-Class-Notes#Nouns|Nouns]]
