Day 8 November 6, 2014

Today, we learned about kono (この), sono (その), and ano (あの). Kono means this, sono means that, and ano means that but it is something far away. Also, when the noun or subject is mentioned earlier, one does not need to restate it. For example, one might say, "Kono pen wa anata no desu," instead of, "Kono pen was anata no pen desu." Also, when responding to, "Kore wa anata no pen desuka," one might say, "Iie, anata no pen ja nai desu," also one might say, "Iie, anata no ja nai desu,"

 because it is assumed that one is referring to the pen. Further more, we learned that koko (ここ) means here, soko (そこ) means there, and asoko (あそこ) means there but far away. We also learned the stroke order for ya (や), yu (ゆ), and yo (よ). We learned that to write things like kya (きゃ), nyo (にょ), or chu (ちゅ), we add ya, yu, or yo after kanji. It is simply phonetic as a soon realized. For example, kya would be, in romaji, kiya (きや), as shown above. We learned that ya means arrow and  that yu means hot water. We also learned how to write Pikachu (ぴかしゅ). We also noted that chu (ちゅ) means to kiss. We learned that maru means circle and batsu means wrong, symbolized by a O and an X respectively.
