NOTES

2."hen na yatsu da" we can say "hen na yatsu" The difference is with da/desu we are sure of the information.

3."ano" used to draw attention

"ojou +chan""ojou =women" "CHAN used for children and SAN used for adult "OJOUSAN"

4.Sometimes in casual speaking the particle NO used instead of the particle KA to indicate a question.

"KANA" means I wonder.

8."SHITTENDA" "SHIRU+TE FORM+IRU +NODESU"

we can write it "SHIITTEIRU NODESU/NODA"

GOOD LUCK
