"It is 12:30." "I am a student." "My major is the Japanese
language." These sentences will all be translated into Japanese
using an appropriate noun and the word desu.
@ 9 I = U 1.3 A/ TT0 (It) is half past twelve. Juuniji han
desu.
$2 ( * L \ T - F O Gakusee desu.
tc C3X. z*T-3-0 Nihongo desu.
(I) am a studat.
(My major) 6 the Japa~lese language.
Note that none of these sentences has a "subject," like the
"it," "I," and "my major" found in their English counterparts.
Sentences without subjects are very common in Japanese; Japanese
speakers actually tend to omit subjects whenever they think it is
clear to the listener what or who they are referring to.
What are we to do, then, when it is not clear what is being
talked about? To make explicit what we are talking about, we can
say:
t3 b = G3h Z*TT, is the Japalaese kanguage. wa nihongo desu.
Where stands for the thing that is talked about, or the "topic,"
which is later in the sentence identified as nihowo. For
example,
+&XI SI h, 4.3 it t 3 h/ :*TTa (My) major ds the Japanese
langwzge. Senrnon w a nihongo desu.
Similarly, one can use the pattern X wa Y desu to identify a
person or a thing X as item Y.

Mary is an American.
Wa is a member of the class of words called "particles." So is
the word lzo, which we will turn to later in this lesson. Particles
attach themselves to phrases and indicate how the phrases relate to
the rest of the sentence.
Note also that nouns like gakwee and sesee in the above examples
stand alone, d i k e their English translations "student" and
"teacher," which are preceded by "a." In Japanese, there is no item
that corresponds to "a," nor is there any item that corresponds to
the plural "-s" at the end of a noun- Without background
situations, a sentence Iike gakusee desu is therefore ambiguous
between the singular and the plural interpretations; it rnay mean
"We are/you a d t h e y are students," as well as "I am/you are/she
is a student."
It is very easy to form questions in Japanese. Basically, all
you need to do is add ka at the end of a statement.

sturEenf-
9 @ 3 5: < - @ L Y F & ~ ' Ryuugakusee desu ka. (Are you)
a H i ~ t e m a t i o ~ a l student?
The above sentence, Ryzcugakusee desu ka, is a "yes/noW
question. Question sentences may also contain a "question word"
like nun2 (what). In this Iesson, we learn how to ask, and answer,
questions using the following question words: nun.; (what time),
namai (how old), nannensee (what year in school). Note. carefully
that the order of words in a sentence may be quite different from
what you find in your language.

'It is not customary to write a question mark at the end of a
question sentence in Japanese. 'The Japanese question word for
"what" has k v o pronunciations: =an and naai. Naa is used
immediate- ly before dmu or before a "counter" like ji (o'clock).
The other form, mmi, is used before a particle. Nani is also used
in the combination nanl;jin (person of what nationality).

No is a particle that connects two nouns. The phrase Toozai
daigaku nu gakusee means "(a) student at Tozai University." The
second noun gukmes provides the main idea" (being a student) and
the first one T ~ o z a i daigdku makes it more specific (not a
high school, but a college student). No is very versatile. In the
first example below, it acts like the possessive ("x's") in
English, but that is not the only role no can play. See how it
connects two nouns in the following examples.

Observe that in the first two examples, the English and Japanese
words are arranged in the same order, while in the last two, they
are in the opposite order. Japanese seems to be more consistent in
arranging ideas here; the main idea always comes at the end, with
any further description placed before it.
3Here is what we mean by the "main idea." In the phrase Tukeshi
san m dmwa Bangoo (Takeshi's phone number), the noun &wa bawgoo
(phone number) is the main idea, in the sense that if something is
Takehi's phone number, it is a phone number. The other noun Takeski
san is not the main idea, because Takeshi's phone number is not
Tak&.

A phrase of the form "noun1 m noun? acts more or less like one
big noun. You can put it wherever you can put a noun, as in the
following example:

8Db Ano indicates that you have some reservations about saying
what you are going to say next. You may be worried about
interrupting some- thing someone is currently doing, or soundkg
rude and impolite for asking personal questions, for example.
[3tl/ZZb Both Rai and ee mean "yes" in response to yes-no
questions. Compared to hai, ea is more conversational and relaxed.
In more informal situations, ula is used. Hai is also used to
respond to a knock at the door or to the calling of one's
name, meaning "Here," as follows. (Ee cannot be replaced in this
case.) T A f
Teacher: 7: 5 2 3 ? Mr. Smith? Sumisu san?
Student: M tl, Hwe. H ai
E3TTlj\b Soo desu ka acknowledges that you have understood what
was just said. "Is that so?" or "I see."
Pronunciation of 1% b The particle t;t. is pronounced "wa," not
"ha." It should be written with ki. All other instances of " wa"
are written with b.

There are a few exceptions, such as kow~~zkkim (good afternoon)
and kmbomwta (good evening). They are usually written with 5, tv tZ
'It; - i2 and 7- h,if&g.

as in 3 A&&, instead of 3 A&&.

Giving one's telephone number b The particle .pro is usually
placed in between the local exchange code and the last four digits.
Therefore, the number 012-345-6789 is zero icki xi, saa yon go no,
roku nana hachi kyuu.
@hreLlb The word se~see is usually reserved for describing
somebody else's occupation. Watashk wa s a m e desu makes sense,
but may sound slightly arrogant, because the word semee actually
means an "honorable master." If YOU (or a member of your family)
are a teacher, and if you want to be really modest, you can use the
word kyooshi instead.
&hr b Sun is placed after a name as a generic title. It goes
both with a given name and a family name. Children are referred to
as chan (and boys in
-
..-
,.:.I . :'. , pa&culaf as kurr), rather than as sax.
Professors and doctors are usually referred to with the title
sensee. S m and other title words are never used in reference to
oneself.
Referring to the person y w are talking to b The word for "you,"
anaba, is not very commonly used in Japanese. Instead, we use the
name and a title like sun and sensee to refer to the person you are
talking to. Therefore, a sentence like "Ms. Hart, are you Swedish?"
should be:
I t & t r6 i f P b I\-t. SLEk x ~ 3 - ~ Y L ~ T ~ ~ ~ ,
Haato san wa sueedenjin desu ka.
It d k 7 L i T / " instead of I\- b 3&, &;fcf..i3 ~ 3 z

Japanese names b When Japanese give their name, they say their
family name first and given name last. Usually, they don't have
middle names. When they introduce themselves, they often say only
their family name. Here are some typical Japanese names.
