oh yay, I've managed to progress a bit on learning Japanese.

so far I've learned the state-of-being and particles.

  • means is. eg. 魚だ means is fish.
  • じゃない - ah, one of the common japanese word and it basically means not.
  • eg. 学生じゃない means not student.
  • だった is used for past tense which is basically was.
  • eg. 学生だった means was student.
  • かった is used to say something that is past and not and it replaces the 「い」 in 「じゃない」.
  • eg. せんせいじゃなかった means was not a doctor.
  • particles like are used as topic while is used for identifying topics.
  • basically means also.

lovely. and I realized I am able to write japanese nicely as compared to writing english letters lol.

yet still, the ultimate thing to do is to memorise the HIRAGANA and KATAKANA table. that is one of the important step number 1, which is also one of the difficult ones.

P.S.: this post is merely a reference for myself, a summary.
