Coming and Going in Japanese

Today’s lesson is a short one.

Today we’ll discuss coming and going in Japanese.

When you return home for the day you would probably say something like, “I’m home” or “I’m back”. In response, your wife, husband, family, etc. may say something like “Welcome home”.

There are equivalents that are used in Japanese. These are generally used, in most situations in Japan (where you are returning from something).

For example:

• when you return home
• when you return to the office
• when you get back to Japan and you are visiting someone for the first time since being back

To say “I’m back” in Japanese you say tadaima (loosely translates to “just now”)

To say “Welcome home” in Japanese you say okaeri (kaeri comes from kaerimasu - to return)

Saying where you live in Japanese

Hi All, Long time no see!

Today’s lesson is talking about where you live.

In this lesson we are going to use the verb “to live”.

The root verb/dictionary verb of to live is sumu.

When you talk about where you live, you must use a progressive tense verb. For example, “I am living in Japan.”

To make a verb progressive, we need to switch the -te form and add imasu.

(If you want to a quick lesson of converting forms of verbs see this post)

So “to live” becomes “living”. sumu becomes sunde imasu

Let’s look at some examples:

I live in Japan/I am living in Japan

watashi wa ni hon ni sunde imasu

I live in Osaka, Japan/ I am living in Osaka, Japan

watashi wa ni hon no osaka ni sunde imasu

I live in Melbourne/I am living in Melbourne

watashi wa meruborun ni sunde imasu

Let’s quickly review each of the sentence parts:

watashi I

wa topic marker particle

ni hon Japan

osaka Osaka

meruborun Melbourne

ni direction/to/from particle

sunde imasu living

How To Learn Japanese Writing

So, you want to learn Japanese writing?

Learning to read and write Japanese is quite an undertaking, considering there are a total of four official scripts.

The four scripts used in Japanese are:

• Katakana - phonetic alphabet used mostly for foreign/borrowed words and in advertising. Also used for animal sounds!
• Hiragana - phonetic alphabet used to write native Japanese words and sentence particles.
• Kanji - imported Chinese characters that have a specific meaning.
• Romaji - a romanization of Japanese.

Learning to Read and Write Japanese

Not all scripts are created equal.

For the Japanese learner the most important scripts to learn early are Hiragana and Katakana. Learning them doesn’t take too long. You can learn them well within a week using the bonus software included with the Speak Japanese Fast system.

Knowing Hiragana means you can read native text and will find studying much easier.

Knowing Katakana means you will be able to read any foreign words in Japanese writing (this comes in handy in Japan because often menus are written entirely in Katakana).

A huge benefit of knowing Hiragana and Katakana is that your Japanese pronunciation will improve a lot.

Kanji is a longer term project. It is good to begin familiarizing yourself with Kanji, but it will take time. The good news is, you don’t need Kanji in order to speak and communicate in Japan.

I recommend using romaji as little as possible. Relying on romaji means your pronunciation will not improve as quickly as you would like.
