# Asking about things, but politely (んです）
|
|
|
|
旅行に行きましたか？ Asking something like this is a direct, and not very friendly. Instead, use 旅行に行ったんですか？
|
|
|
|
Can also be attached to nouns if your saying you like something, but its more subjective
|
|
|
|
## Verbs
|
|
|
|
### For Past Tense:
|
|
|
|
Conjugate a verb to past tense, and then stick "んです" after it, and it makes it far more polite, especially when asking a question. Great for asking something, but is far less then direct then just asking point blank.
|
|
|
|
A: 旅行に行ったんですか？
|
|
|
|
B: 旅行に行ったんですよ？
|
|
|
|
### For Present Tense:
|
|
|
|
For present and future tense, just use the regular verb, no conjugation, and stick んです after it. Same meaning.
|
|
|
|
A: 旅行にいくんですか？
|
|
|
|
B: 旅行にいくんです
|
|
|
|
### For Negative:
|
|
|
|
Conjugate the verb into regular negative tense, and add んです.
|
|
|
|
お金がないんです -> I don't have any money.
|
|
|
|
わからないんです -> I don't understand
|
|
|
|
## For Adjectives
|
|
|
|
You can also add it at the end of adjectives, and pretty much anything else to make a question less direct, and more polite. Stick it at the end of い adjectives without issue, add な for な Adjectives.
|
|
|
|
眠いんですか？ -> Are you sleepy?
