the pronunciations of らりるれろ

2009-04-25T18:19:00.003+09:00

The pronunciations of らりるれろ in Japanese are similar to the l,r,and d in English.There are individual variations in those ratios.

だぢづでど？らりるれろ？

Some foreigners learning Japanese are confused by it.

Oppositely,most Japanese can't distinguish the difference between the l and r sounds...

I hope this information will be useful for your studies and communication.^^

Frequency Adverbs > ひんどの副詞

2009-04-23T08:11:00.008+09:00

in my mind

2009-02-15T03:07:00.001+09:00

i wrote a new song.
all sounds were played by synthesizers.

Goodbye to 'Oda-san'! Say hello to 'Tommy Yoda'!

2009-02-12T01:01:00.002+09:00

i realized that to learn very different foreign languages are to learn foreign cultures and to have different personalities in own's mind.i have learned english grammar.

but many friends say that my English is strange...

why? why? why?

because i think in Japanese when i write my sentences.
many languages have the word order of SVO(Subject Verb Object).English,German,Chinese,and so on.but Japanese is very different from them.

the differences are...
・We put Verb at the end of sentences.
・We sometimes don't use Verb.
・We somtimes omit Subject and Object.
・We always use Onomatope.
,and many points.

//example//
ウサギは耳が長いです。 > (No direct translation)
ウサギの耳は長いです。 > Rabbits' ears are long.(direct translation)

but many English speaker doesn't say that.
probably they say 'Rabbits have long ears.'.

Rabbits have long ears. > ウサギは長い耳を持っている(direct translation)

i can translate it.but too strange Japanese.

Fluent translation is that.
Rabbits have long noses. > ウサギは耳が長いです。

ohhh...it's difficult...(><) i can't feel sentence style in colloquialism and written language yet. I should stop thinking in Japanese. I should stop 'Oda-san'. today I become 'Mr.Oda' or 'Tommy Yoda'. these pronouncations are easy and good! ^^ it's a joke.^^;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; fortunately i can find good texts.
　　

i hope these books will enable me to improve my English.^^
oppositely i heard this book is good for learner of Japanese.

i'm reading this book to teach my foreign students Japanese.

Cya.^^

From Uonuma city to Niigata city

2008-08-22T01:08:00.008+09:00

The next morning,we had a meeting to decide wether we should explore Niigata-ken or to go back to Gunma-ken, which we went through.Gunma has famaous many Onsen.to go or not to go: that is the question.I said that i would like to see the Nihonkai(Japan Sea) which is around by Korea,North Korea,Russia,and Japan. My family agreed to the idea, and We decided to go to Niigata city.

From uonuma city to Niigata city,we across the Shinanao river many times during the trip. it is the longest river in Japan.

we saw a lot of large rice feilds as well.

what does the young people like to do here?,we thought.There are some Pachinko which is a kind of Slot Gamble,Karaoke,and sports Gym among the fields. I like greens but i can't live here...

Then,we arrived Niigata city. we were like "wao!!!Niigata city is a modern building city!!!We can't believe it.It is like Shinjuku-ku Tokyo!"

We looked down at the town from the rainbow tower which has 100m in height. We could see Shinano river flowing into the Japan sea,the Train(Shinkansen) which have just reached at Niigata-station,and lines of modern buildings.

We go to Japan sea,although after the sunset. Its the first time i've seen the Japan sea!! wow!!But i can't distinguish it from the Pacific Ocean. ^^;;;;

This time, we notice that we didn't make reservations to stay in a hotel. Must we sleep in the open or in the car?

What will happen to us?

to be continued....

hahaha ^^

わたしはEnglishをspeakしているヤングパーソンたちのためにnew Japaneseをthinkしています。

2008-08-19T02:08:00.002+09:00

today(きょう),わたしのmom(はは)は、me(わたし)に　sayしました。(いいました。)

【そのゴミをポイしてきて。(throw away the garbages!)】

so（だから）,わたしは、この　idea（あいであ）を　hit onしました。（おもいついきました。）

'ポイする(throw away)' is a correct Japanese verb!

ポイします、ポイしました、ポイしません、ポイするでしょう。
sayします、sayしました、sayしません、sayするでしょう。

wow!!!

so,this sentence is a correct Japanse,too.

(English > Japanese)
i am thinking new Japanese for the young persons speaking English. > わたしは Englishをspeakしているヤングパーソンたちのために new Japaneseを thinkしています。

although it is a little strange...^^;;
if you want it more natural,like this.
わたしは　えいごをはなしているわかいひとたちのために　あたらしいにほんごを　かんがえています。

,but this method is very useful when you want to say the words that you don't remember/remind in Japanese.

let's try.

・Subjectは Complementです。
He is an Otaku.　>　he は　an Otakuです。　＞　かれはオタクです。
she is kawaii.　>　sheは　kawaiiです。　＞　かのじょはかわいいです。

・Suject は　Verbします。
I get up.　> I は get up します。　>　わたしはおきます。
I sleep.　>　Iは　sleepします。　>　わたしはねます。

・Suject は　Objectを　Verbします。
i eat an aplle.>　わたしは an appleを　eatします。　>　わたしは　りんごを　たべます。

・Suject は　Object1に　Object2を　Verbします。
he give you a present.　>　he は youに a presentを　giveします。　>　かれは　あなたに　プレゼントを　あげます。

do you get it?
let's try to write your diaries or sentences in Japanese.and i'll modify it to natural japanese if you want to me.^^

today is hot.

2008-08-18T00:00:00.004+09:00

about weather.

English > Japanese

it's hot today. > きょうはあついです。
it's cold today. > きょうはさむいです。

it will be hot tomorrow. > あしたはあついでしょう。
it will be cold tomorrow. > あしたはさむいでしょう。

it was hot yesterday. > きのうはあつかったです。
it was cold yersterday. > きのうはさむかったです。

in japanese,we use 'day' as a Subject.so we sometimes mistake like this.^^;;;;

today is hot. yesterday was cold.

if you find Japanese mistake it,please forgive and point it out kindly.

hahaha.^^

Okutadami Dam

2008-08-17T00:21:00.004+09:00

for the first time I went to Niigata-ken Japan.
Niigata has a lot of nature.everyone in my family has drivers licenseces,so we go there by the car,and going there by the car is cheaper than by train(Sh inkansen) when there are over 3 or 4 people.

we went to Okutadami Dam.
Okutadami-ko is the biggest lake made by human in Japan.to get there we need to go through a long tunnel.the tunnel is 18 km,it's awesome.

we rode cable car and arrived at lake of dam from parking.it was too big.i liked the nature and the air is very delicious.

that day,we stayead at an Onsen hotel in Uonuma city.Uonuma city is famous for making rice.we ate dinner, it was delicious!! and had Nihonshu(Sake) which is famaous,too. it is made by rice and clean water.we enjoyed some of it.I like Midori the best.

now?
no.no. I am not a drunker.haha.^^

L change the WorLd

2008-07-28T01:16:00.005+09:00

I watched 'L change the WorLd(Death Note)' on DVD.
In Japan, we can rent movies 1 year after they were screened.^^

I remember that my friend said to me that 'Death Note's theme is like HEROES'.
about good and evil...

I am not Chiristian,Islam,or Buddhist.I have no religious beliefs/background like most Japanese.
but I think we must not to be like 'Raito' or 'The Company(Primatech Paper Company)'.The characters were misunderstood and were seen as villains; but they killed many people to make the world better, but Sylar is a mere killer.

You should not kill men,even if we hate them.

[Le2_3:BV3] わたしはおとこのこではありません。

2008-05-06T02:07:00.001+09:00

There are two kinds of negative forms of '________ は　------　です。'

///1.わたしはおとこのこではありません。
this sentence means 'I am not a boy.'

The affirmative sentence of this sentence is...
わたし　は　おとこのこ　です。
> I am a boy.

if C(Complement) in SVC is Noun.
we change 'です' into 'ではありません'.
------------------------------------
________ は　------　ではありません。

> _______ is/am/are　not -------(Noun) .
------------------------------------
or
------------------------------------
S は　C　ではありません。
S　is/am/are not C.
------------------------------------

(example)
かのじょ　は　びりぃさん　ではありません。(kanojo ha Billy-san dehaarimasen.)
> She is not Billy.

めありぃさん　は　あめりかじんではありません。(Mary-san ha amerika-jin dehaarimsaen.)

これは ipod ではありません。(koreha ipod dehaarimasen.)
>This is not ipod.

///Noun
ほん(hon) > book
くるま(kuruma) > car
てれび(terebi) > TV,tetevision
ぱそこん(pasokon) > PC,personal Computer

///2.このいぬはこわくありません。
this sentence means 'This dog is not scary.'

The affirmative sentence of this sentence is...
このいぬは　こわい　です。(kono inu ha kowai desu.)
>This dog is scary.

if C is Adjective,we change 2 things.

1.we change Adjective 'こわい' into 'こわく'.
*Japanese Adjective change forms,and the last word of a basic type ends by 'い(i)'.this case,we change the last word 'い(i)' into 'く(ku)'.

2.we change 'です'　into 'ありません(arimasen)'　or 'ないです(naidesu)'.

このいぬはこわくありません。(kono inu ha kowaku arimasen.)
or
このいぬはこわくないです。(kono inu ha kowaku naidesu.)

> This dog is not scary.

------------------------------------

________ は　------く　ありません/ないです。

> _______ is/am/are　not -------(Adjective) .
------------------------------------

(example)
わたしは　かなしく　ありません。/わたしは　かなしく　ないです。
> I am not sad.

[Lesson2_2:BE-Verb2] わたしはこうこうせいです。

2008-05-04T01:05:00.003+09:00

////1.わたし　は　こうこうせい　です。
this sentence means 'She is a highschool student.'

*high school student >　こうこうせい(koukousei)

------------------------------------

________ は　------　です。

> _______ is/am/are ------- .
------------------------------------

if you know 'BE-Verb of present shape'(is/am/are) and 'SVC'(Subject,Verb,Complement) in English,
------------------------------------
S は　C　です。

> S is/am/are C.
------------------------------------

you can change English into Japanese by only 3 steps!

3.(わたし)　は　(こうこうせい)　です。

かのじょ　は　こうこうせい　です。（kanojo ha koukousei desu.） > She is a high scool student.
*she >かのじょ(kanojo)

かのじょ　は　めありぃさん　です。(kanojo ha Mary/mearii-san desu.) > She is Mary.

めありぃさん　は　かわいい　です。（Mary/mearii-san ha kawaii desu.） > Mary is pretty.
*pretty > かわいい(kawaii)

////2.めありぃさん　は　こうこうせい　ですか？

as you know,
When you want to ask him/her yes or no,it is Interrogative,you change 'です(desu)' into 'ですか？(desuka?)'.

------------------------------------
________ は　------　ですか？

> Is/Am/Are _______ ------- ?
------------------------------------

or
------------------------------------
S は　C　ですか？

> Is/Am/Are S C ?
------------------------------------

(example)

The pronunciation of this 'は(ha)' is 'わ(wa)'.but,we must write'は(ha)'. It seems that Learners of Japanese often make a mistake in this point.it's not correct to write 'わたし　わ'.probably,as much as I make mistakes in 'English Preposition'.in?into?at?for?to?(@@)

[Lesson0-1]all Hiragana　(ぜんぶの　ひらがな)

2008-04-20T16:07:00.002+09:00

as you know,Japanese has 5 vowels.
あいうえお(aiueo) :D

and the Consonant is added to them, it becomes all Hiragana.

(basic)
・fifty-sound

　　　　あ(a)　　　い(i)　　　　　う(u)　　　　　え(e)　　　お(o)
add　k:　か(ka)　　き(ki)　　　　　く(ku)　　　　け(ke)　　　こ(ko)
add　s:　さ(sa)　　し(si/shi)　　　す(su)　　　　せ(se)　　　そ(so)
add　t:　た(ta)　　ち(ti/chi)　　　つ(tu/tsu)　　て(te)　　　と(to)
add　n:　な(na)　　に(ni)　　　　　ぬ(nu)　　　ね(ne)　　　の(no)
add　h:　は(ha)　　ひ(hi)　　　　　ふ(hu/fu)　へ(he)　　　ほ(ho)
add　m: ま(ma)　　み(mi)　　　　む(mu)　　　め(me)　　　も(mo)
add　y: や(ya)　　　　　　　　　　ゆ(yu)　　　　　　　　　　　よ(yo)
add　r: ら(ra)　　　り(ri)　　　　る(ru)　　　　　れ(re)　　　ろ(ro)
add　w: わ(wa)　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　を(wo)

　　　　　ん(ｎ/nn)

onece upon a time,it seems that we used 50 sounds.
now,46 sounds.but,name is 'fifty-sound'.

---------------
(additional)

・Muddied Consonant Sounds

add　g:が（ga）　　ぎ(gi)　　　　ぐ(gu)　　　げ(ge)　　　ご(go)
add　z:ざ（za）　　じ(zi)　　　　　ず(zu)　　ぜ(ze)　　　　ぞ(zo)
add　d:だ（da）　　ぢ(di)　　　　づ(du)　　　で(de)　　　ど(do)
add　b:ば(ba)　　び(bi)　　　　ぶ(bu)　　　べ(be)　　　ぼ(bo)　
add　p:ぱ(pa)　　ぴ(pi)　　　　ぷ(pu)　　　ぺ(pe)　　　ぽ(po)

Japanese think below...

あいうえお' can not be muddied.
'かきくけこ' can be muddied into ’がぎぐげご’.
'さしすせそ' can be muddied into ’ざじずぜぞ'.

・The Small 「や」、「ゆ」、and 「よ」

add　ky:きゃ(kya）　　　　　　きゅ(kyu)　　　　　　　　きょ（kyo）
add　ch:ちゃ(cha）　　　　　　ちゅ(chu)　　　　　　　　ちょ(cho)
add　ny:にゃ(nya)　　　　　　　にゅ(nyu)　　　　　　　にょ(nyo)
add　hy:ひゃ(hya)　　　　　　　ひゅ(hyu)　　　　　　ひょ(hyo)
add　my:みゃ(mya)　　　　　　　みゅ(myu)　　　　　　みょ(myo)
add　ry:りゃ(rya)　　　　　　　りゅ(ryu)　　　　　　　　りょ(　ryo)
add　gy:ぎゃ(gya)　　　　　　　ぎゅ(gyu)　　　　　　　ぎょ(gyo)
add　　j:じゃ(ja)　　　　　　　じゅ(ju)　　　　　　　　　　　じょ(jo)　　　
add　dy:ぢゃ(dya)　　　　　　　ぢゅ(dyu)　　　　　　ぢょ(dyo)　　　
add　by:びゃ(bya)　　　　　　　びゅ(byu)　　　　　　　びょ(byo)　
add　py:ぴゃ(pya)　　　　　　　　ぴゅ(pyu)　　　　　　ぴょ(pyo)

they are related to the word with the vowel of い('i)'.

いきしちにひみり。

い can not add small 'や'.
き can add small 'や'. then,'きゃ',’きゃきゅきょ’
し can add small 'や'. then,しゃ','しゃしゅしょ'

Japanese children paractice like that,
あいうえお　かきくけこ　さしすせそ　....
がきぐげご　ざじずぜぞ　だぢづでど...
きゃきゅきょ　ちゃちゅちょ　にゃにゅにょ...

but,I think that you need not learn it by heart this time.
Japanese also can't say All Hiragana at once.^^;

next lesson is Greeting!!
Cya.またね。^^

[Lesson0-0]Japanese has 5 vowels.

2008-04-17T16:10:00.000+09:00

Japanese has 5 vowels.
but,they are included in English vowels.

Hiragana(Romaji)
あ(a): a of father
い(i):i of fit
う(u):u of put
え(e):e of get
お(o):o of pot

so my family name 'oda' is....
'o' of pot and 'da' of dash.

あいうえお(aiueo),repeat after me 50 times.

oppositely,it is difficult for Japanese to pronun English vowels.^^;
ea,ei,eu,ee,eo.I bite my tongue. (@@)

Can you understand?^^
Cya.:D

Difference of Japanese and English -Part3（ver1.1）

2008-03-31T14:45:00.003+09:00

3.Method of modification

In many case in English,the modifier is put on behind a modified word.
but,in Japanese the modifier is put on in front of a modified word.
It is opposite! ...orz

ex3-1)
the dish made by her
'the dish'←（made by her）
'その夕食'←(作った　彼女が)

We replace the order in ().
'その夕食'←(彼女が作った)

and, we put on () in front of the modified word.

>> 彼女が作ったその夕食(Correct Japanese)

the man who is standing over there
'the man'←(who is standing over there)
'その男の人' ←(立っている　向こうに)

We replace the order in ().
'その男の人' ←(向こうに立っている)

and, we put on () in front of the modified word.
>> 向こうに立っているその男の人(Correct Japanese)

ex3-2)
I ate the dish made by her.(SVO)
I ate ←（made by her）.
私は <その夕食>を　←(作った　彼女が)　食べました。

We replace the order in ().
私は　<その夕食>を　←（彼女が作った）　食べました。

and, we put on () in front of the modified word.
>> 私は彼女が作ったその夕食を食べました。(Correct Japanese)

The man who is standing over there is my brother.(SVC)
←(who is standing over there) is my brother.
<その男の人>は←（立っている向こうに）私の弟です。　

We replace the order in ().
<その男の人>は←（向こうに立っている）私の弟です。

and, we put on () in front of the modified word.　
>> 向こうに立っているその男の人は私の弟です。(Corect Japanese)

-----
When modifier is 1 word in English,we can put on in front of the modified word.

pretty girl
>> かわいい少女（Correct Japanese）

beautiful lady
>> きれいなお姉さん（Correct Japanese）

smiling boy
>> 笑っている少年（Correct Japanese）

It is easy for each other to understand/translate.　:D

Difference of Japanese and English -Part2 (ver1.1)

2008-03-31T14:44:00.002+09:00

2.Relation between sentence patterns in English and how to translate into Japanese

If the sentence pattern is SV,we can translate into 'SはVします。'

ex2-1)
I run.（SV）
→私は走ります。（SはVします。）

If the sentence pattern is SVC,we can translate into 'SはCです。'.

ex2-2)
she is kind.(SVC)
→彼女は親切です。(SはCです。、S=C)

ex2-3)
She Loves him.(SVO)
→彼女は彼を愛します。（SはOをVします。）

ex2-4)
She gave him a present. （SVOO,S V O_1 O_2）
→彼女は彼にプレゼントをあげます。（Sは　O_1に O_2を　Vします。）

ex2-5)
He see her sing.(SVOC)
→彼は彼女が歌うのを見ます。(SはOがCするのをVします。)

Difference of Japanese and English Part1 (ver1.1)

2008-03-31T14:43:00.000+09:00

1.Difference of word order

It is important for English sentences to arrange correctly.
If the word is replaced as it is,sentence doesn't work.

ex1-1)
I ate sushi at the restaurant on Friday. (Correct English,SVO)
→I sushi ate at the restaurant on Friday.(Incorrect English)
→I at the restaurant ate sushi on Friday.(Incorrect English)

If you want to change the word order, it should be reworded.

I eat Sushi at a restaurant.
→I ate sushi at the restaurant on Friday.
→On Friday I ate sushi at the restaurant.
→On Friday at the restaurant, I ate sushi.

---------
In many cases in Japanese sentences,The verb must be put on the last of sentence, but you may arrange other words as you like it.

ex1-2)
I 　　　eat 　　　Sushi at a restaurant. (SVO)
私は食べます　すしをレストランで (Literal translation,Incorrect Japanese)
→私はすしをレストランで食べます。（Correct Japanse）

I try to change the word order.

私はすしをレストランで食べます。
→すしを私はレストランで食べます。（Correct Japanse）
→すしをレストランで私は食べます。（Correct Japanse）
→レストランで私はすしを食べます。（Correct Japanse）
→レストランですしを私は食べます。（Correct Japanse）

格助詞（kakujoshi or Case-marking particle) is very important.There is not Kakujoshi in English.Kakujoshi are 'は'、'を'、'で' in this sentence,and Kakujoshi is put on behind a noun.

But,when Kakujoshi is used by mistake,sentence become a strange Japanese.

ex1-3)
私は金曜日にレストランですしを　食べました。(Correct Japanse)
I ate Sushi at restaurant on Friday.(Correct English)

↓
私を金曜日にレストランですしが食べました。（Strange Japanse）
Sushi ate me at restaurant on Friday.（what!?）

私が金曜日をレストランですしに食べました。（Strange Japanse）
I　ate Friday at restaurant on Sushi.（!!!!????）
