Hi there. In my book it wants me to say the following, but only by using the method of using te forms for joining sentences.

" Youko San has long hair and large eyes "

I can use this method to describe two things about something ( like saying if something is clean and new, for example ) but I'm not sure how I'd describe both of these two things ( hair and eyes ) as my book has only previously asked me to describe multiple aspects about one object/place and not one aspects of two separate things in one sentence.

Would greatly appreciate any help.

What is your translation of "Youko San has long hair" and "Youko San has large eyes"?
 
I really don't know where to start.. I mean, I do but I'm pretty sure it'd be wrong...


Actually, it'd be :

" Youko San wa kami ga nagai desu "

Not sure about the eyes.

Your translation is correct.

has long(= nagai) hair(= kami): kami ga nagai

so, how about;
has large(= ?) eyes (= ?): ?
 
Youko San wa me ga okii desu ? >_< just off the top of my head

Again, you need to differentiate the long vowel from the short vowel. "Okii" and "ookii" are different.

My cat is small.
Watashi no neko wa chiisai desu.
My cat is cute.
Watashi no neko wa kawaii desu.
My cat is small and cute.
Watashi no neko wa chiisakute, kawaii desu.

Youko San has long hair.
Youko San wa kami ga nagai desu.
Youko San has large eyes.
Youko San wa me ga ookii desu.
Youko San has long hair and large eyes.
? (hint: What is the -te form of nagai?)

Just found a pocket of free time, but here is my answer based upon what you've said, Tori.

Youko San wa kami ga nagakute, me ga okii desu.

Please correct me if I'm wrong >_<
