LESSON 2

I. Greeting
Every our meet with other, we better give the greeting. Greeting add more relationship.
Ohayô goxaimasu ==> Good morning
Konnichiwa ==> Good afternoon/evening
Oyasuminasai ==> Good night
Moshimoshi! ==> Hello, hello!
Ikaga desu ka? ==> How are you?
Watashi wa Sensei desu ka? ==> I am teacher
Anata wa gaijin desu ka? ==> Are you a tourism?
Hai, sô desu ==> Yes, I do
Lie, chigaimasu ==> No, I don’t





II. Structure
- We have to enhance particle wa after subject of sentence.
- If that sentence without vb. ( for example: cigarette - suu, drink - nomu, eat - taberu), so we enhance the auxiliary verb desu for positive sentence and dewa arimasen for the negative
sentence.
- We put the assistive word ask ka in the end of sentence, if the sentence is interrogative sentence.
