 Ⅲ Japanese sentence: Robot No.1
“ DESU” robot. TUPV versions.
安田式
(1) Topic of the sentences are persons.

Yasuda sensei says: Look at the pictures below.

They are the parts of the Japanese language robot.
There are some tools for assembling a robot.
Let’s assemble. Make a Japanese sentence.

Parts of the body:

Head: “ATAMA”… Topic of the sentence(subject)

Persons, things, animals can be “ATAMA”

Body:“KARADA”…What the speaker wants to talk about.

Inside the body, there are many things….

Legs: “ASHI”…These are “DESU” legs.

Ninja kun explains about grammar: “DESU”

Nouns used with “DESU” is work as predicates. Besides indicating judgement or
assertion, “DESU” also shows politeness towards the listener.
“DESU” inflects when the sentence is negative or in the past tense.
Tools: 1

“WA” wrench: “WA” … “WA” connects the head and the body..

Ninja kun explains about grammar: Particle “WA”

“WA” is put after the topic of the sentence.
The speaker forms a sentence by adding “WA” to what he or she
wants to talk about, and then makes a statement about it.

Tools: 2

“NO”glue: “NO”… “NO” connects 2 nouns. Noun1 NO noun2

( Sometimes more than 3)

Ninja kun explains about grammar: “NO”

When a noun 1 modifies a following noun 2,
“NO” is used to connect the two nouns like glue.

This is the blueprint of “DESU” robot ver.１.

“WA” “DESU”

Yasuda sensei says: “DESU” robot has no hands this time.

Later you use soon.

 Yasuda sensei says: Let’s assemble!
When you make a sentence, think in Japanese.
We use person as a topic of the sentence.

Coffee Break time! “kyuu kei jikan desu.”

Takuya san says: “ I” wa Nihon-go de Nan desuka?

“Watashi” desu. Correct!
But there are some other ‘I’ in Japanese language….
They are “BOKU” “ORE”
“WATASHI” is very polite.
“BOKU” is usually used by the boys.
“ORE” sounds like a little rough expression.
‘You’ has also some Japanese words; “KIMI” and “OMAE”
‘I’ and ‘you’ are the pairs in conversation.
Let’s have a look.
 e.g. “Watashi wa Takuya desu.” “Anata no namae wa ?”

“Boku wa Takuya desu.” “Kimi no na wa?”

“Ore Takuya.” “Omae wa?”

“DESU” robot transforms into 2 types of robots. Let’s see!

“DESU” robot ver. 2 “DESU-KA” robot.

Yasuda sensei says: ‘Let’s assemble “DESU” robot ver.2’

It is a “DESU-KA” robot. It always asks a question. (Interrogative sentence)
We change “DESU” leg to “DESU-KA” leg. That’s all.!

e.g. Are you Japanese?

Blueprint “DESUKA” robot (change legs)

wa

Anata wa Nihon-jin DESU-KA ?

“Anata wa Nihon-jin desu-ka?”

 Takuya san says: “Wa-ka-ri ma-shi-ta-ka?” Do you understand?

Yasuda sensei says: This is a YES, NO question. Let’s check answers.

Yes robot: Yes. I am. “Hai, (Watashi wa) Nihon-jin desu.”

Footnote 1: Repeat “ noun desu” after “Hai”
2: If the situation is clear, you may not say “watashi wa”
Just answer “Hai, Nihon-jin desu.”

No robot: No, I am not.

“ I-ie, (Watashi wa) Nihon-jin dewa arimasen.”
“ I-ie, (Watashi wa) Nihon-jin ja arimasen.”
Footnote1: It’s a negative sentence.
2: Repeat ‘noun DEWA- ARIMASEN’ after “I-ye”
3: Repeat ‘noun JA -ARIMASEN’ after “I-ye”
4: If the situation is clear, you may not say “watashi wa”
Just answer “I-ye, Nihon-jin dewa arimasen.”
or “I-ye, Nihon-jin ja arimasen.”
More examples:
1 Jolly cha wa gakusei desu-ka? Hai, (kanojyo wa) gakusei desu.
I-ye,(kanojyo wa) gakusei ja-arimasen.
2 Takuya san wa sensei desu-ka? Hai, (kare wa) sensei desu.

“NEGA” robot. We only change “DESU” leg to “NEGA” leg.

“DESU” “DEWA A-RI-MA-SEN”

“JA A-RI-MA-SEN”

e.g. I am not Japanese.

Blueprint “NEGA” robot. (change the leg)

“Watashi wa Nihon-jin ja-arimasen.”

Ninja kun explains about grammar: There are 3 kinds of sentences;

Affirmative, Interrogative (question) and Negative. ,
you can find the difference at the end of the sentences.
 Affirmative….. “DESU”
Question ….. “DESU-KA ?”
Negative …. “DEWA-ARIMASEN”

Ninja kun explains about grammar how to connect “NO”glue

This is the principle of the words order in Japanese language.

school Negros NO Talisay shi NO TUPV
2 Long short
e.g. birthday 2000-nen (NO) 11-gatsu (NO) 12-nichi

We, Japanese, don’t say “go” to our own family.
o : “o” is also a respectful and polite phrase.
