Day 10: December 4, 2014

After returning from a restful Thanksgiving break, here is day 10. Today, we reviewed how to conjugate "u" verbs. For example, we have the plain form of the verb nomu. We can then conjugate this verb to its dictionary form, nomimasu. With this, we can change the verb to its negative form, nomimasen.
We learned that the Japanese nicknamed Arnold Schwarzenegger, Shuwa-chan, to shorten his name.


We learned that "de" is a location marker. We also learned that when writing "o" as a subject marker, in kanji, it is written as "を." Also, writing "wa" as a subject marker is actually written as "ha (は)." We were reminded that the traditional way to write in kanji is top to bottom and right to left. Writing periods in kanji looks like this: "。" Also, there are no gaps in writing kanji. We are able to write whole sentences in kanji now. I am still improving but I am excited to be doing this!

Here are my notes:
