Things I learned today
I started a new "core lesson" today, and was greeted with much new vocabulary.
Some words defining one item's relative position to another
- ue = top, surface/on top of i.e. Neko wa shatsu no ue ni imasu. The cat is on the shirt. (A phrase quite apt for whenever I visit my mom and her cat makes its bed on my shirts)
- naka = inside i.e. Kagi wa kuruma naka ni arimasu. The key is inside the car. (Sadly, also a phrase which applies to me a few times in my past)
- shita = below/beneath/under i.e. Hon wa isu no shita ni arimasu. The book is under the chair.
Many words involving a house, it's rooms and some things within them
- ie = house/home
- apaato = apartment
- doa = door
- mado = window
- shinshitsu = bedroom
- toire = bathroom/toilet
- daidokoro = kitchen
- nagashi = kitchen sink
- ima = living room/family room
And a few others
- kisu = kiss
- ai =love
- daite = hold/hug
- daisuki = love/great fondness/I love you
- ojiisan = grandfather/elderly man
- obaasan = grandmother/elderly woman
- suwaru = to sit
- tatsu = to stand
- doko = where
I've also learned that arimasu/arimasen applies to inanimate objects, while imasu/imasen
applies to living things.
Questions on my mind
- Nothing, for the time being! I'm content with absorbing everything I learned today. Not to say I don't have any questions, just that none are springing to mind at the moment. :)
Parting Practice Phrase
- Watashi wa otousan ga daisuki desu. Watashi wa okaasan ga daisuki desu. わたしわおとうさんがだいすきです。 わたしわおかあさんがだいすきです。 I love my father. I love my mother.
