Learning Japanese

Recently I have been spending a LOT of time with my mother-in-law. She's been in and out of the hospital and going to lots of doctors. During the drives and visits she has been teaching me Japanese. I have learned some of the very basic grammer and thought I would share.

1st: English is SVO (subject, verb, object)  so we say "He is cute." He = subject // is = verb // cute = object

In Japanese they go SOV (subject, object, verb) so they say "He cute is." or "Kare wa kawai" Kare = he (or it or that) // wa = (sound you put after the subject to show what the subject is) // kawai = cute.


Here is a good blog that explains it better than I can!


Ja Mata Ne.
