COMLY [HAS] T VoTFIRLS HAMEFEATRRAUT SCE eMoTHET. 219A #e—w Preface ‘This is a revised edition of the textbook GENKI: An Integrated Course in Elementary Japanese, which was published in 1999. Since it first came out, GENKI has become widely used by teachers and students of Japanese and has gone through numerous reprintings. Such wide acceptance led to the decision to publish this revised edition. In 1999, our aim was to develop a textbook that teachers would find convenient and helpful, and one that students could easily use. We thus wrote the book based on a survey of students’ needs and refined it through many test-teaching situations, Originally meant as a text for foreign students studying in Japan, GENKI gained popularity among those studying in other countries as well. As use increased, we began to hear from those who wanted “more information on culture” and “audio aids appended to the text.” It’s also been more than ten years since GENKI was originally published, and the passage of time has required revisions to vocabulary and expressions. While retaining the ease-of-use quality for teachers, we have added new content and revisions that reflect our experiences and the voices of those who have used the text. The task of revision took two years to complete. We believe that this effort has resulted in a book that instructors and students will find even easier to use and learn from. ‘The opinions of the teachers and students who have used GENKI have been a major driving force in the preparation of this revised edition. We are truly grateful to those who have provided this input. The authors would also like to express their sincere appreciation to the following: Noriko Udagawa, our illustrator, whose work has become a GENKI trademark; the staff of The Japan Times; and particularly to Chiaki Sekido of the Publications Department of The Japan Times, who has worked tirelessly with us on this project since its inception. It is our hope that students of the language will find additional pleasure in learning Japanese by using this new edition of GENKI. ‘The Authors September 2011 REA (FA) i) B NN 813" HADBELAL BE interesting Experiences in Japan 276 yeh RER ARK ER HA BB sl4e tBid+ D ABBE Personal Advice Column 283 RR BRRUDREKKRRKYGRE F 215% FDYFEIEHT My Favorte Place 288 RERERR+KRK HARRAH R A #16 KAD RDABAL The Manga Doraemon 295 | ReERS HH MRAM Ee MH HE 2178 A /7:—N Yoko Ono 301 RPS eeRRR RS SER SK H #188 ABA College Life 308 Bw FREER RRRE De KR Be “198 FcX—Ib Letters and E-mails : 315 RKA RRA H RRA LIAR AH 20” JOM A Cat's Piete : 323 mPekEK HRA OKR eH HRM 21% [BSE Unlucky Ages 330 e# GRRE DM SFREH BR HD HK S>> 13 ELA] O2ZCMRBI, AKOWMTE DV MHBSNTHS [~CHVTH/~Ceanty] [~RUIHIEUT ERAS ~ CE RUITERA] CRBLELE.

Students can complete the elementary-level study of Japanese in the 23 lessons of this text, which is divided into two volumes. The book is designed mainly for use in university courses, but is also effective for high school students and adults who are beginning to learn Japanese either at school or on their own. Hopefully, students will have at least a basic knowledge of English, because grammar explanations are given in English. GENKI: An Integrated Course in Elementary Japanese is a comprehensive approach to developing the four basic language skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing), which aims to cultivate overall Japanese-language ability. Emphasis has been placed on balancing accuracy, fluency, and complexity so that students using the material will not end up speak- ing accurately yet in a stilted manner, or fluently but employing only simple grammatical structures. Il Revised edition The revised edition features changes in four major areas. 1. Addition of Culture Notes Each lesson now contains a “Culture Note,” which is designed to enhance students’ know!- edge of Japan through information on Japanese culture and daily life. 2. Audio material bundled with text and workbook Audio aids, which had previously been sold separately, have now been added to the textbook and workbook in MP3 format. The addition of audio material for the workbook’s “Listen- ing Comprehension” exercises is especially convenient. We have also recorded the readings from the Reading and Writing section of the book. 3. Vocabulary and expressions We rigorously reviewed the vocabulary and expressions to replace words, such as “cassette tape” and “LL” that are no longer in common use, with words and phrases that students will encounter more frequently. 4. Grammar, practice and readings While no changes were made to the grammatical topics introduced in each lesson, we sup- plemented the text and/or made the necessary corrections to make the material even easier to understand. In the revised edition, we have replaced the negative forms of adjective and noun phrases -ku arimasen/-ja arimasen and -nakucha ikemasen, meaning “must,” with the -ku nai desu/ -ja nai desu and -nakereba ikemasen/-nakya ikemasen forms, which are more commonly used in everyday life. We also increased communicative practice material—mainly dialogues—so that students would be given sufficient opportunity to practice the grammar that they learn. Moreover, we have updated the readings in the Reading and Writing section to make them more relevant to the Japan of today. I Structure of the textbook This textbook basically consists of three sections: Conversation and Grammar, Reading and Writing, and the Appendix. A detailed explanation of each part follows. A> Conversation and Grammar ‘The Conversation and Grammar section aims at improving students’ speaking and listening abilities by having them learn basic grammar and by increasing their vocabulary. The Con- versation and Grammar section of each lesson is organized as follows: @ Dialogue The dialogues revolve around the lives of foreign students living in Japan and their friends and families, presenting various scenes that students are likely to face in their daily lives. By practicing natural expressions and aizuchi (responses that make conversations go smoothly), students are able to understand how sentences are connected and how some phrases are shortened in daily conversation. Because the Dialogue section of each lesson covers a lot of new grammar and vocabulary, students may feel it is too difficult to understand at first. Don’t be overly concerned, however, because the grammar and vocabulary will gradually take root with practice. Students can listen to dialogues on the accompanying audio aids (in MP3 format). Students are encouraged to practice regularly by listening to the audio and carefully noting pronunciation and intonation. 20 @ Vocabulary The Vocabulary section presents all the new words encountered in both the Dialogue and Practice sections of each lesson. Words that appear in the Dialogue are marked with an as- terisk ( * ). Words are listed according to their function in Lessons 1 and 2, and by parts of speech in Lesson 3 and all subsequent lessons. In addition, all words presented in the text are also found in the Index at the end of each volume. Words found in the Vocabulary section of each lesson appear frequently in subsequent lessons, thus encouraging students to learn little by little each day. The new words, along with their English translations, also appear in the audio material, which enables students to absorb through listening. Starting with Lesson 3, the Vocabulary section also gives the kanji rendering, but students are not required to memorize the kanji orthography. ‘This textbook does not indicate a word's accents. The accent of a Japanese word varies considerably, depending on region, the speaker’s age (including the generation gap between speakers), the word’s inflections, and its connection with other words in the sentence. Therefore, there is no need to be overly concerned about accent, but try to imitate as closely as possible the intonation heard on the accompanying audio aids. @Grammar Easy-to-understand grammar explanations are provided so that even those studying on their own can easily follow. Students at school should read the explanations before each class. All grammar items covered in the lesson’s Practice section are explained in the Grammar section, Grammar and vocabulary that require explanation but are not practiced are sum- marized in the Expression Notes section at the end of each Grammar section. @ Practice For each grammar point covered, Practice sections provide drills that advance in stages from basic practice to application. The intent is to enable students to gain a grasp of Japanese naturally by completing the drills in the order presented. Basic exercises that call for a single predetermined answer are marked with a [al] and re- corded with their answers on the audio aids, thus allowing students to practice and learn on their own, ‘The last part of the Practice section contains Review Exercises that help summarize what has been learned. For example, some exercises combine various topics covered in the lesson, while others require students to create dialogues by applying what was learned in the Dia- logue section. @ Culture Note ‘We have integrated a Culture Note section into each lesson, where we explain aspects of the culture and everyday life of Japan. These notes cover a wide variety of topics, ranging from __ Introduction » matters closely linked to language, such as kinship terms, to information deeply ingrained in daily life, such as the Japanese climate. Our hope is that these comments will serve as a springboard for students to deepen their understanding of Japanese culture even further by taking steps of their own, such as by gathering information from the Internet or by discuss- ing the topics with their Japanese friends. © Useful Expressions ‘When necessary, we include sections on Useful Expressions at the end of the lessons in or- der to present supplementary vocabulary and phrases. These sections list expressions that are related to the lesson’s topic (as in “Time and Age” in Lesson 1) or to particular situations (as in “At the Station” in Lesson 10). The vocabulary introduced in Useful Expressions is also listed in the index of each volume. B> Reading and Writing ‘The Reading and Writing section aims to foster comprehension and writing ability through the study of Japanese characters and through practice in both reading and writing. After learning hiragana in Lesson 1 and katakana in Lesson 2, students begin studying kanji in Lesson 3. Each lesson after Lesson 3 is organized as follows: @ Kanjilist ‘The list contains the new Kanji introduced in each lesson. Students are exposed to about 15 new characters in each lesson. Since it is probably not feasible to learn all of these at once, we encourage students to tackle a few each day. We have formatted each kanji list as follows. (1) serial number 2) kanji @) reading (5) compounds that include the kanji AR vlEL FR(EA) book BAR(EIEA) Japan Dbe BARBE(IZ1EA.=) Japanese language WARS LEB ESA) Mr/Ms, Yamamoto o- tt kK oi7 (book; basis) (4) meaning (7) stroke order (6) stroke count ‘The mark appearing next to readings in item (3) indicates the on-yomi, or the reading of the character that was imported from China. The [> mark indicates the kun-yomi, or the native Japanese reading, The sound of on-yomi and kun-yomi may change when the kanji is used in certain words. For example, the ordinary pronunciation of # is gaku, but this becomes gak when the kanji is used in the word *#% (gakkoo). Such derivative readings are also included in the readings section. 22 Although some kanji have many readings, we include principally those readings that are appropriate for an elementary level course. Readings and words that are shaded should be memorized. ‘The others are for reference, so students don’t need to memorize them. The Reading and Writing section of the work- book includes practice sheets for the kanji learned in each lesson. Students should practice writing the kanji repeatedly, following the stroke order shown on the kanji list in the text- book. @ Practice GENKI I consists of kanji practice, readings for comprehension, questions about the content of the readings, and writing practice. Kanji practice is aimed at getting students accustomed to kanji through practice in various forms, such as reconstructing kanji from their compo- nent parts or making new words by combining kanji. Readings for comprehension are gen- erally short and deal with subjects familiar to the students. They assume knowledge of the vocabulary and grammar that the student has learned in the Conversation and Grammar. section. New words that appear in the readings are listed. At the end of each Practice sec- tion, we suggest topics for students to write on. GENKT II contains readings for comprehension, questions about the content of the read- ings, and writing practice. The readings introduce Japanese as it is used in a variety of areas, ranging from letters and fables to essays and advertisements. They assume knowledge of the vocabulary and grammar that the student has encountered in the lesson so far, and with each lesson the readings become longer and more difficult. New words in the readings are listed in the order in which they appear, At the end of each Practice section, we suggest top- ics for students to write on. We provide recordings of these readings in both Volumes I and II of the revised edition. ‘These are denoted by a [al] mark. Students can listen to them through the accompanying audio aids (in MP3 format). C Appendix ‘The Appendix of Volumes I and II contains an Index. The Japanese-English Index, in hira- ‘gana order, lists words and expressions from the Vocabulary and Useful Expression sections of each lesson (the index does not contain the vocabulary used in Culture Notes). The num- ber next to a word indicates the lesson in which the word was introduced. In the English- Japanese Index, English equivalents to Japanese words are arranged in alphabetical order. In both indexes of this revised edition, verbs are indicated with [ru] [1] [irr], to show which verb group they belong to. Also included in the Appendix are a map of Japan with the names of all the prefectures, a table of changes in the sounds of numbers and counters, and a table of verb conjugations. Introduction »»» 23 IV Orthography and font The basic text is written in kanji and hiragana. In the case of kanji, we follow the official Joyo Kanji list. However, hiragana is used instead when the Joyo Kanji equivalent is deemed un- necessary for beginning students of Japanese. ‘The pronunciation of every kanji in the Conversation and Grammar section is indicated in hiragana so that this section can be studied alone. To lessen the burden on the students and allow them to study on their own, however, the “Greetings” unit and Lessons 1 and 2 are written in hiragana and katakana, alongside which the same statement is presented in romanization. ‘The romanizations are purely for supplemental purposes and students should avoid relying on them too much. Students study hiragana and katakana in Lessons 1 and 2, respectively, of the Reading and Writing section. Students begin studying kanji in Lesson 3 of the Reading and Writing section. To encour- age students to maintain a firm grasp of the kanji they have learned, the Reading and Writ- ing section does not provide hiragana readings for kanji that have already been introduced. The Japanese in the basic text is set mainly in the Textbook font, which resembles hand- writing and serves as a good model for students. Students will encounter a variety of fonts used for Japanese materials, however, and should be aware that the shape of some characters differs considerably, depending on the font used. Note especially that in certain fonts two separate strokes may merge into a single stroke because they mimic the characters produced by a writing brush.

You can also use sentences to qualify nouns. The sentences that are used as qualifiers of nouns are shown in the boxes below. the book (that I bought yesterday the book | my boyfriend gave me’ the book | that is on the table the book { that you can’t buy in Japan | Sot StS Qualifier sentences in these examples tell us what kind of book we are talking about, just like adjectives. The verbs used in such qualifier sentences are in their short forms, either in the present (as in examples 3 and 4) or the past tense (1 and 2), and either in the affirmative (1-3) or in the negative (4). When the subject of the verb—that is to say, the person per- forming the activity—appears inside a qualifier sentence, as in example 2 above, it is accom- panied by the particle 4°, and not (d. You can use a noun with a qualifier sentence just like any other noun. In other words, a “qualifier sentence + noun” combination is just like one big noun phrase. You can put it any- where in a sentence that has a noun. mise si Ht BEORE ALBA RCH. (of, SHATH.) Sa ets opts a This is a book that my girlfriend gave me on my birthday last year.

SHOR. FEBS? The verb 44% calls for the particle 2, as in FEA 4. the particles (2, 28, and & are frequently dropped in casual speech. Note also that this sentence is a yes/no question, and the particle # is dropped. (The question particle 4° is retained in special cases only, such as the pattern “the volitional + 2» (Shall we... ?)”) BOTSARUE, BoC is the contraction of oS, where the Yowel V* of the helping verb \% is dropped. Such contractions do occur in the long form (‘CF and ¥+) speech patterns, too, but are more frequent in casual speech with short forms. BOTS. Fo TH is the contraction of Ho TW%, and another ex- ample of the vowel \9 in the helping verb CW“ dropping out. HRUBHR. 7 is systematically dropped at the end of a sentence, but it is retained when followed by & or 4a. While sentences ending with #2 & are quite common in the casual speech of, women today, until very recently, women were “supposed to” drop 7 when they end a sentence with &. ~IE and ~b'> You can use (F ¥ and # not only in the sense of “but” (con- trasting two situations), but also to present the background to what you are about to say. In the Dialogue, —#IC4i2»%¥» ? alone would be too abrupt, and Takeshi would wonder what Macy is talking about. Mary could have used two separate sentences, as in ABC SAOHO 7 BIO I EB THAR. ‘The suffix H turns a number into a reference to a position in a series, like first, second, third, and fourth. first | ___second third ~AH | —AH first person) (second person)| =H (third person) ~KA — te (first sheet) (second sheet)| ~48H | —4FH (fist year) | =4F H (second year) | =4F H (third year) | ~HA | —HUl (first day) | <1 Hl (second day) (third day) @® Be Practice Th OBB OI-E-ERESD A.

For example, in July (in some areas, August) and December, people give presents to their bosses, colleagues, and relatives to express their gratitude, These gifts are called 4ss7E and 43%, respectively. Japanese department stores offer a wide variety of BRE OME It items during the season. The most common gifts are liquor, sweets, coffee, tea, and various daily necessities, including soap and detergent. On average, the gifts cost somewhere between 3,000-5,000 yen. Another type of gift is 4-£8 (souvenirs). When Japanese people travel, they purchase local food products or small items to give to their friends, family, and co-workers. When visiting someone's house, Japanese people often take ti (lit, hand souvenir), such as sweets or fruits.

For example, I open the door, you turn on the TV, and they break the computer. Such verbs are called “transitive verbs” Some other verbs describe changes that things or people undergo. For example, the door opens, the TV goes on, and the computer breaks down. These latter verbs are called “intransitive verbs.” While most verbs are loners and do not have a counterpart of the opposite transitivity, some important verbs come in pairs.

Let us first recall that activity verbs (8§, for example) + T\»4 refer to actions in progress, while change verbs (fi 4, for example) + C14 refer to the states resulting from the change, as we learned in Lesson 7.

In the first instance, L £ 7 indicates that one “carries out with determination” a plan described by the verb, It typically involves bringing something to a culmination point. You, in other words, do something completely, or finish doing something, or have something done. REMATLEVEL KS Tread the book completely./ I finished reading the book. 146 >>> SOR The second meaning of L £ 3 is “lack of premeditation or control over how things turn out,’ This often comes with the sense of regret; something regrettable happens, or you do something which you did not intend to.' BROPI MALE SNT LEvELA. T inadvertently left my bag on the train. WRCRNAOT, AEB TLEVELKS ‘To my horror and sorrow, my professor got angry, because I had forgotten my homework. Both nuanced meanings focus on the discrepancy between what we intend and what the world is like when it is left on its own. A L £3 sentence may be ambiguous between the two meanings. How a given L £ 7 sentence should be interpreted depends on the assump- tions the speaker has when uttering it. For example, the “finished reading” sentence above can be read as meaning “regrettably” just as easily if you read the book although you had not planned to, or knowing that it was wrong but unable to resist the temptation. In speech, ~T LE 7 and ~TL # 3 are often contracted to ~4 » 7 and ~U » 3, re- spectively. BMtt Lbrot. Tost my homework! BATLEWELE + ATURE BATLEO - ea ~e ‘The present tense short form of a predicate + & means whenever the situation described by the predicate holds, another thing happens. In most ¥ sentences, the first clause describes the cause, and the second the effect. ‘Since L £7 goes with the verbal fe-form, which is affirmative, it only gives us sentences meaning that something regrettable does or did happen. In other words, we cannot express negated ideas with L # 7 suchas “regrettably, x did not take place” or “unfortunately, I did not do x”
