Japanese Phrases

Well Today I decided to do a quick lesson on some very useful Japanese phrases.

The sentences that we are going to look at are focused on possession, and care worth looking at as they are a little different than in English.

First let's learn how to "My friend"

In Japanese you would say: "Watashi no Tomodachi"

The word 'Watashi' in this instance means "My" and the word "No" indicates possession. Finally the word "Tomodachi" means friend. Easy!!

Well let now check out how to say: "I have coins"

We would say: "Watashi wa koin o moteimasu"

The word :"Watashi" means "I" in this case and the word for coins is "Koin" and finally verb "Moteimasu" is for "have"

OK so the last sentence we will check out today is: "I have a house"

Here we say: "Watashi wa Ie ga arimasu"

This is an interesting translation as you it literally means: "I house there is" and the verb "arimasu" is used for non-living things. If you were to say I have a sister, you would use the verb "imasu". The word for house is "ie"

Well I hope you learned something helpful!!
