    JLPT N5 - Verb List

    Image
    Verbs necessary to pass JLPT N5 The following is a list of 109 verbs which you need to know in order to make yourself confident to pass the JLPT level N5. Here, the dictionary form (plain form) and Masu form (polite form) of the verbs are listed with English meaning, hope this will work as your reference material. Note: Need to pay proper attention how the forms changed when you need to make it a [ใพใ™] form of verb. For example: ใŠใใ‚‹ = to get up and ใŠใ = to put, to keep; but when written in hiragana, [ใพใ™] form of ใŠใใ‚‹ is ใŠใใพใ™ and masu form of ใŠใ is also ใŠใใพใ™. Let's see more verbs how they change from dictionary form to polite form: ใŠใใ‚‹ → ใŠใใพใ™; DROP [ใ‚‹] from [ใŠใใ‚‹] to make it [ใพใ™] form; ใŠใ → ใŠใใพใ™; CHANGE [ใ] to [ใ] to make it [ใพใ™] form; ใŸในใ‚‹ → ใŸในใพใ™; DROP [ใ‚‹] from [ใŸในใ‚‹] and add ใพใ™. ใ„ใ → ใ„ใใพใ™; CHANGE [ใ] to [ใ] and add ใพใ™. ใ‚ใใถ → ใ‚ใใณใพใ™; CHANGE [ใถ] to [ใณ] and add ใพใ™. ใฎใ‚€ → ใฎใฟใพใ™; CHANGE [ใ‚€] to [ใฟ] ใพใ™. ใใ‚‹ → ใใพใ™; CHANGE [ใ] to [ใ] and DROP [ใ‚‹] and add ใพใ™. ใ™ใ‚‹ → ใ—ใพใ™; CHANGE [ใ‚‹] to [ใ—]...

    JLPT N5 - Lesson 3 - Hiragana Part 1

    Image
    Hiragana Keyboard The first step of your Japanese learning journey is to learn the Hiragana and Katakana characters. The Japanese writing system has 3 components which are Hiragana - 46 basic characters to write the native words. Katakana - 46 Katakana characters for writing foreign words. Kanji - Kanji are actually Chinese characters used in modern Japanese writing system used as stem of a word convey meaning of the word as well as sound. Please note that all these are characters and not alphabets. In this lesson I will introduce Hiragana and in next two lessons I will introduce Katakana and Kanji. Once you master Hiragana, Katakana will become easier to learn. Hiragana -  Each Hiragana character represents a particular syllable. First five hiragana characters 'a' 'i' 'u' 'e' 'o' represents vowel sound and only one character n represents consonant sound, remaining all characters represents a consonant-vowel sound. Here is the basic ...

    JLPT N5 - Lesson 4 - Hiragana Part 2 - Dakuon and Handakuon

    Image
    Dakuon ( '' ) or dakuten are two small strokes placed on top-left corner of certain hiragana/katakana that changed the sound of those basic kana. It is the voiced sound of ใ‹ [ka],ใ• [sa], ใŸ [ta] and ใฏ [ha]-row syllables. The 'K' sound will be 'G' sound with dakuten, for example, ใ‹ (Ka) will become ใŒ (Ga). The 'S' sound will be 'Z' sound with dakuten, for example, ใ• (Sa) will become ใ– (Za). The 'T' sound will be 'D' sound with dakuten, for example, ใŸ (Ta) will become ใ  (Da). The 'H' sound will be 'B' sound with dakuten, for example, ใฏ (Ha) will become ใฐ (Ba). Handakuon (。) or handakuten is a small circle placed over ใฏ [ha]- row syllables and modify the consonant pronunciation from H sounds to P sounds. All the Dakuon and Handakuon characters are listed in the above picture. Now let us make some words with the Hiragana characters that we have learnt already ใ ใ‘ [dake] - Only ใ”ใ” [gogo] - Afternoon ใฉใ“ [dok...

    JLPT N5 Lesson 19: Counting and Counter Words

    Image
    Counting in Japanese In the above picture, it is shown how to count from 1 to 20 in Japanese. Now we will see how to count upto 10000 easily by following some pattern. 1st pattern is, ten (10) is ใ˜ใ‚…ใ† (juu), twenty(20) is ใซใ˜ใ‚…ใ† (ni-juu), thirty(30) is ใ•ใ‚“ใ˜ใ‚…ใ† (san-juu) and so on up to ninety (90). And the 2nd pattern is, for example, ten (10) is ใ˜ใ‚…ใ† (juu), eleven (11) is ใ˜ใ‚…ใ†ใ„ใก (juu-ichi), twelve (12) is ใ˜ใ‚…ใ†ใซ (juu-ni). Using the same pattern with Twenty which is ใซใ˜ใ‚…ใ† (ni-juu), we can make twenty one = ใซใ˜ใ‚…ใ†ใ„ใก (ni-juu-ichi), twenty two = ใซใ˜ใ‚…ใ†ใซ (ni-juu-ni), twenty three = ใซใ˜ใ‚…ใ†ใ•ใ‚“ (ni-juu-san) and so on. Now let us count 100 and above. 100 = ็™พ [ใฒใ‚ƒใ] 200 = ไบŒ็™พ [ใซใฒใ‚ƒใ] 300 = ไธ‰็™พ [ใ•ใ‚“ใณใ‚ƒใ] 400 = ๅ››็™พ [ใ‚ˆใ‚“ใฒใ‚ƒใ] 500 = ไบ”็™พ [ใ”ใฒใ‚ƒใ] 600 = ๅ…ญ็™พ [ใ‚ใฃใดใ‚ƒใ] 700 = ไธƒ็™พ [ใชใชใฒใ‚ƒใ] 800 = ๅ…ซ็™พ [ใฏใฃใดใ‚ƒใ] 900 = ไน็™พ [ใใ‚…ใ†ใฒใ‚ƒใ] 1000 = ๅƒ [ใ›ใ‚“] 2000 = ไบŒๅƒ [ใซใ›ใ‚“] 3000 = ไธ‰ๅƒ [ใ•ใ‚“ใœใ‚“] 4000 = ๅ››ๅƒ [ใ‚ˆใ‚“ใ›ใ‚“] 5000 = ไบ”ๅƒ [ใ”ใ›ใ‚“] 6000 = ๅ…ญๅƒ [ใ‚ใใ›ใ‚“] 7000 = ไธƒๅƒ [ใชใชใ›ใ‚“] 8000 = ๅ…ซๅƒ [ใฏใฃใ›ใ‚“] 9000 = ไนๅƒ [ใใ‚…ใ†ใ›ใ‚“] 10000 = ไธ€ไธ‡ [ใ„ใกใพใ‚“] Now let us count some...

    JLPT N5 Lesson 20: Asking Questions

    Image
    How to ask a question This lesson aimed at helping elimentary level students learn how to ask questions. Here we will learn how to form an interrogative sentence in Japanese. We will also learn about the question words those are necessary to ask a question. Note: In the above illustration, the verb 'ใซใ’ใ‚‹ (run away)' has been used in one of the sentence, but this verb may not be tested in JLPT N5 level. Question Marker In Japanese, the particle 'ใ‹' is used as the equivalent of English question mark (?) . Just by placing the particle ใ‹ at the end of a simple affirmative or negative sentence we can make it an interrogative sentence and the structure of the sentence will not be affected in any other parts of the sentence. Whereas in English we know the sentence structure needs to be changed to agree with numbers (singular/plural) and to agree with the tense of the verbs when we transform a simple sentence to an interrogative sentence. In that sense Japanese is ea...

    JLPT N5 - Lesson 5 - Katakana Part 1

    Image
    Katakana - actually there are no difference in sound in both sets of characters only the looks are different - hiragana is curvy but katakana is more straight compare to hiragana and few characters looks very similar for example He - ใธ ใƒ˜ and Ri - ใ‚Šใƒช . Another difference is that hiragana is used as okurigana - prefixes for kanji but katakana character's usage is limited to writing foreign/loan words mostly. # Other than words of foreign origin, to write any foreign person name or place name or any object name Katakana is used. # For writing repeating word or onomatopoeia also Katakana is used for example ใƒฏใƒณใƒฏใƒณ [wanwan] - dogs barking sound. # Sometimes to emphasis a particular word in a sentence also written in Katakana, such as ใใ‚Œใฏใƒ€ใƒกใงใ™。 46 Basic katakana characters are shown in the below picture: Now let's practice some words in Katakana. After any consonant vowel, if another pure vowel is used then it become long vowel. For long vowel ใƒผ this sign (a long dash sign)...

    JLPT N5 - Lesson 9 - Japanese Particles Inrtroduction

    Image
    About Japanese particles: In this lesson we will know about Japanese particles. As we know particle means small element, here Japanese particles are small words that helps to create sentences indicating the relations of words within a sentence. To identify topic, subject or object or to specify direction or possession or many other reason these particles follow other parts of speech such as nouns, verbs, adjectives of a sentence and make the sentence complete and meaningful. Some particles may be compared to prepositions some may be compared to conjunctions in English or some have other kind of usage. There are 188 particles in Japanese language but we will learn only those which are necessary to attempt JLPT exam. Here we introduce some most common particles and as the lesson will progress we will introduce more and more particles.

    Image
    ใ‚ใ„ใ•ใค [Aisatsu] is the word for greetings in Japanese. In Japanese society, greetings play an important role in everyday life. Today we learn some common greetings. ใŠใฏใ‚ˆใ† ใ”ใ–ใ„ใพใ™ ใŠใฏใ‚ˆใ† ใ”ใ–ใ„ใพใ™ [ohayou gozaimasu] - Good Morning!　is a formal greetings used in Japanese every day life. In the morning hour meeting with people you may greet him or her by saying ใŠใฏใ‚ˆใ† ใ”ใ–ใ„ใพใ™, in reply the other party also greet you as saying the same word. When the relation between the both parties are very casual then they may greet each other by just saying ใŠใฏใ‚ˆใ†. In kanji it is ใŠๆ—ฉใ†。 ใ“ใ‚“ใซใกใฏ Once you have the feelings the morning is already over you may greet people with ใ“ใ‚“ใซใกใฏ [konnichiwa] which means 'Good Day!' or 'Good Afternoon' or you may use it just as like 'Hello!'. If someone greet you first with ใ“ใ‚“ใซใกใฏ in reply you also need to say the same thing 'ใ“ใ‚“ใซใกใฏ'. Note in writing you need to use ใฏ [ha] character instead of ใ‚ [wa] character. ใ“ใ‚“ใซใกใฏ is written in kanji as ไปŠๆ—ฅใฏ。(ไปŠ[kon]+ๆ—ฅ[...
