Day 7 October 30, 2014

Today, we learned how to say today, yesterday, the day before yesterday, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow. Kyoo means today. Kinoo means yesterday and ototoi means the day before yesterday. Ashita means tomorrow and asatte means the day after tomorrow. We also learned how to say the days of the week. Sunday would be Nichiyoobi, Monday would be Getsuyoobi, Tuesday would be Kayoobi, Wednsday would be Suiyoobi, Thursday would be Mokuyoobi, Friday would be Kinyoobi, and Saturday would be Doyoobi. Yoobi are the days of the week. Nichi means sun or day, getsu means moon, ka means fire, sui means water, moku means wood or tree, kin means gold, and do means soil or earth. We learned that the past tense of desu is deshita, with ta making the word past tense. As an example for the past tense, one could say, "Kinoo wa Kayoobi deshita." As an example for the present tense, "Kyoo wa Mokuyoobi desu." We learned that "ano ne" means "you know what?" We learned that kore means this, sore means that, and ano means that which is far away. We also learned that dore means which one. We learned the stroke order for ma (ま), mi (み), mu (む), me (め), and mo (も). It was a bit challenging to write some of the hiragana but writing them is fun and I look forward to the next set.
