I dont think i was confident enough to do them at the time ^^, I'm not too sure about sentence structuring x.x

[shinkamalei]

ah i c.
do you have an iphone or ipad or ipod touch?

[Demonskid]

I wish *cries* I really want a iPad

[shinkamalei]

the reason i ask is they have a really handy app that helps with sentence structure.
the main part of it is the verb.
when you get to them that is.
so what exactly are you have trouble with?

[Demonskid]

I barely started it xD

[shinkamalei]

oh i see.
so you are still on 'desu'?

[Demonskid]

yea.. from the notes I took from JapanesePod101 I can do

desu

and

desu ka

i think it is mostly the wa ga wo things that confuse me the most in there

I know 'no' means possessive ouo

[shinkamalei]

mmk.
well for me, learning the difference between wa and ga were the hardest.
and wo is an object particle that goes with verbs.
but with wa and ga, they are both subject particles.
the way my teacher explained it to me is ga is more specific.
like you could say 'david-san wa gaijin desu' or 'david-san ga gaijin desu'
they both mean: david is a foreigner.
however, with ga, it usually means the other people around him aren't foreigners or he is the only one who is a foreigner in the group.
it specifies that its talking specifically about david only.
but its more of an implication rather than saying "only david is a foreigner."

did that help?

[Demonskid]

Yes it did ouo lemme jot this down in my notebook

[shinkamalei]

alright ^^
there is more to ga use but when you use it with desu that's the best way i would put it.
there are certain verbs it MUST be paired with though sometimes those have exceptions.. but when to have exceptions.. thats a bit further down the line ^^;

[Demonskid]

xD now you are scaring me! hehe

question!

why is the particle pronounced as wa written as ha? ono

[shinkamalei]

i have no clue... so here is my googled answer:

[Demonskid]

Ohh ok.. -w- they should stop changing stuff then if they don't want to complicate stuffs xD

[shinkamalei]

i dont think they will be complicating it anymore xDD
more like the reverse.

and btw, didnt mean to scare u.
its jus things change depending on what u r trying to say is all ^^
