Particles in Japanese language

Goog God Loner, and I had spent six years there. Hope for your sake I'm not alone; but I'd guess yes you need it

Help...

Was that **** racism?

No way so intended, Kid. But tell us, what made you think so

They're both correct.
However, my Japanese lessons were over 65 years ago.
I can still read and write some kanji. It really helped when my wife and I went to Japan in 1982.

I known dale for several years, and I know he's not racist.

Thank you Cis

Your analysis is good, but it's still not exactly right.

We know that there are two types of Japanese adjectives:
1. i-adjective.
2. na-adjective.

For i-adjectives, if we want to use it as adverb. First remove the trailing "i" then add "ku".
An example of this would be the English sentence "They eat loudly."
Since "loud" is "urusai" and "eat" is "tabemasu". "Eat loudly" will
become "urusaku tabemasu".

For na-adjectives, if we want to use it as adverb. Just add "ni" behind the
na-adjective.
An example of this would be the English sentence "They speak quietly."
Since "quiet" is "shizuka" and "speak" is "hanashimasu". "Speak quietly" will become "shizukani hanashimasu".

As for natural adverb. We usually use it in isolation in a sentence.
An example of this would be the English sentence "Pretty hot."
Since "pretty" is "kanari" and "hot" is "atsui". "Pretty hot" will become "kanari atsui".

Good luck on your language journey!

Wow, thanks so much! This was super helpful. Ive taken a break in my learning but now that it's summer hopefully I'll spend more time studying.

To clarify - I want to be sure I'm understanding you fully - i adjectives end in i and na adjectives don't end in i?

Also, given what you have said, the first example I used is constructed improperly. Kirei should not be followed by ni, correct? It should instead change form to kireku when combined with a verb; so, kireku kakimashita.

Have Iunderstood you?

Yes. Or, Nihongo wa jozu desu.

Cis I love ya

Wow, this is really a good question. Actually "kerei" is a na- adjective.

All i-adjectives always end in "i". However, you may have noticed that some na-adjectives also end in "i" such as "kerei". Almost all the na-adjective that ends in "i" are usually written in Kanji so that you can easily tell that it's not an i-adjective.

For example, "kerei" written in Kanji looks like 「綺麗」or「奇麗」. Since the "i" is a part of 「麗」, you konw that it can't be an i-adjective. That's because the "i" in i-adjectives is to allow conjugation without changing the Kanji.

So I suggest you should study Kana and Kanji instead of Romaji.

Asking to study kanji is not realistic. There are 47,000 kanji in the Japanese language.
I studied Japanese as a young teen up to the third grade, and learned some kanji, but have forgotten most of them. I can remember simple words like entrance, exit, woman, man, and gossip. Gossip was written with three women grouped together when I studied Japanese, but that doesn't seem to exist now.


River is written: 川 (kawa, "river") It looks like a river flowing.

Just as you have said, kanji is a form of ideogram which to represent the idea of a thing, rather than the sounds of a word.

May it's hard for English-speakers to learn, since success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in and day out. Ganbarou!
