I really need to double check on some of the work I've been doing this year.

Any who, I've got some things i want to double check with.

"To ask where some one lives"

Do ko ni su n de i masu ka

-- I'd like to know how to respond to that question.

-----------

Da Re [Who] Do na ta [Which Person]

-- Could some one please write a example saying "Which person drank my Coke" -- Or something similar

----------

No - Noun in Apposition
--> Naming Things
--> Simplifying Sentences

"My Friend Is Anna"

Wa ta shi no to mo da chi wa a n me san

"My Friend Anna"

To mo da chi no An me san

Sorry for spelling Anna wrong!??

Any ways, Could some one give me some more examples using "No"

--------

Time] Ni [Person] To [Object] O / Ni [Verb

Fu ri ppu wa mo ku yo bi ni e gi ri su de te ni su ni o shi ma shi ta

"I played Tennis on Thursday in England" (Correct me if I'm wrong )

-------

Asking some ones birthday

"O ta n ji yo bi wa i tsu de su ka"

Bo ku no ta n ji yo bi sen kyu ha kyu hu san nen roku ga tasu ni juu ni

"My birthday is on 1993, 22nd of June" (Correct me if the structure is wrong)

This is currently my third year learning Japanese in secondary school, The last two years was a breeze, Now since I've gotten a new Japanese teacher I'm having some trouble keeping up with her, TBH she wasn't as helpful as my last Japanese Teacher.

Thanks for any one that helps. -- I really should know this stuff by now .

"Doko ni sundeimasuka" is correct for "where do you/does he/she live?"

For "who drank my coke" you could use "dare ga watashi no cola wo nomimashita?"

The tennis example: England is "igirisu" not "egirisu" and I would write "watashi wa mokuyoubi ni igirisu de tenisu wo shimashita

The birthday question is fine

For saying your own birthday, I normally wouldn't include the year, but if you want to, make sure you don't forget the particle after tanjoubi. "watashi no tanjoubi WA sen kyuhyuaku san nen, roku gatsu niju ni nichi desu."

Hope this helps a bit.

I think the OP meant "sen kyuuhyaku kyuujyuu san nen" (1993).

Ah of course I doubt the OP is 106 years old. Sorry for the omission.

Thanks for the tips.

also I've been needing to change these into Te form. But i see on my sheet

I Ru = To Need
I Ru = To put inside

To change into te form i need to go i te?

But will it be i tte on both on them?

Putrefaction · 5 Mar 2009

They could be homonyms, like ikimasu is also itte.

It would be 入れる[ireru] at least in modern Japanese.

Kirakira1232 · 5 Mar 2009

Do ko ni su n de i masu ka

-- I'd like to know how to respond to that question.

To answer this just say

_______ ni sundeimasu

eg. Tokyo ni sundeimasu. I live in tokyo.

I Ru = To Need
I Ru = To put inside

are you thinking of

要る（いる） to need

and

入る (いる）to get, come in

although 入る is more commonly read as "hairu" which means "to enter" or "to place."

In both cases though the te form will be itte.

I would say more like "Watashi no cola wo nonda no wa dare darou?!"

or "Dare ga watashi no cola wo nonda (no)?

aardwolf · 10 Mar 2009

my first instinct was
僕のコーラを飲んだ人はだれ？

Your suggestions are certainly more natural sounding, but I didn't want to bring up stuff that I assumed (and I DID assume) the OP didn't know and confuse him -_-; Guess I just thought nda/no desu and darou were a little advanced.

In my opinion, no is a little more natural than hito. But, in any case, if the speaker was really angry, they would most likely make it something like:

Dare, watashi no ko-ra wo nonda no ha!?

And while these later examples may be a little advanced for pbctcs, I only hope he hasn't disappeared for good !

Oh yea, i knew my guess wouldnt be very correct. there probably was no point to posting it

pbctcs:

Here are some examples of the appositive usage of "no"

Watashi no inu no "supotto"
Isha no Jon san
Niisan no Jerii
Otetsudai no Meri

In case you dont know
inu = dog
isha = doctor
Niisan = brother
Otetsudai = housecleaner/maid

Thanks for the tips guys, Helped me quite a bit.

I've still got some catching up to do, But now i have to do a Japanese dairy using some simple sentences

From to / Until ~

This is a example i have for "From Saturday until Tuesday I have a holiday rest"

"Do yoo bi KA RA ka yoo bi ma de ya ma mi ma su"

Does "Do yoo bi KA RA ka yoo bi" mean Saturday from Tuesday.

But from "ma de ya ma mi ma su", What part can i change it to so i can say.

"From Saturday until Tuesday, I play soccer"
"From Saturday until Tuesday, I play rugby"
"From Saturday until Tuesday, I play tennis"

----

Before ~

"I watched TV before Breakfast"

a sa go han no ma e ni te re bi o [Kanji Letter?] ma shi ta

Which part means "Before Breakfast" & "Watched TV"

And how could i say

"I Fed the dog before breakfast"
"I played soccer, Before breakfast"
"I sat down, Before breakfast"
-----

After ~

"after school, I go home"

Ga tsu ko u no a to de i e ni ka e i ma su

Which part means "After school" & "I go home"

And how could i write

"After school, I play soccer"
"After School, I went to bed"
After school, i go to work

ya ma mi ma su ??? 山（を）見ます？

Before ~

"I watched TV before Breakfast"

O sa go han no ma e ni te re bi o [Kanji Letter?] ma shi ta

Which part means "Before Breakfast" & "Watched TV"

If you don't know which part means "before breakfast" and which part means "watched TV", how did you come up with what you have here in the first place?

It might help us understand exactly where you are in your study and help you better if you explained to us what you do and do not know (Kanas, Grammars, etc.).

1e8 · 12 Mar 2009

Sorry was "ya su mi"

And that "kanji letter" was Mi.

I know how to do some, It's just that I don't think the teacher explained it well enough since we didn't have enough time.

any way here is what i've got so far.

"I Fed the dog before breakfast"
→Asa gohan no mae ni inu(dog) ni esa o agemashita

After School, I went to bed"
→Gakko no ato beddo de ne mashita

"After school, i go to work"
→Gakko no ato shigoto(work) ni iki masu

"I played soccer, Before breakfast"
→Asa gohan no mae ni sakka o shimashita

"I sat down, Before breakfast"
→Asa gohan no mae ni suwari mashita
