I-Adjectives: (these are conjugated differently than na-adjectives)
Cool Looking/Attractive　かっこいい　Kakko ii
Old (NOT PEOPLE)　ふるい　Furui
New　あたらしい　Atarashii
Interesting　おもしろい　Omoshiroi
Delicious　おいしい　Oishii
Bad Tasting　まずい　Mazui
Scary　こわい　Kowai
Expensive　たかい　Takai
Cheap　やすい　Yasui

When using i-adjectives,　You can place them right before a noun to describe it like　こわいねこ　（Kowai neko)　”Scary cat".　You can also use it right before ending a sentence... like following it with -desu.　Ie:　これはやすいです。　（Kore wa yasui desu。）　”This is cheap."　There is no change in it。

Na-adjectives:
Clean/Pretty きれい（な）　Kirei(na)
Impossible むり（な）　Muri(na)
Quiet しずか（な）　Shizuka（Na)

When using na-adjectives, you can end them in a sentence just like i-adjectives in that you would do:　わたしのへやはきれいです。　（Watashi no heya wa kirei desu.) ”My room is clean."　Notice that if you follow it with -desu you drop the "na". That is because you only have the "na" before a noun. So for example:　あのまちはしずかなまちです。　（Ano machi wa shizukana machi desu.） "That town over there is a quiet town. VS　あのまちはしずかです。　（Ano machi wa shizuka desu.) ”That town over there is quiet."

Verbs:　（These are separated into 3 categories: U verbs, Ru verbs, and irregular verbs)
Irregular
To do　（を）する　Suru

To sleep　ねる　Neru
LF:ねます Nemasu
To eat　（を）たべる　Taberu
LF:たべます Tabemasu

..... I feel like I did really badly. I really need to get My Japanese coach out again. I feel like it tought me all this and I forgot it.

.... And I had to look at the list for a lot of the vocabulary x.x;;
Also I was unsure how I should be conjugating the verbs ... I'm so rusty v.v;;

[shinkamalei]

@ultima:

One thing I will stress that is drilled into me by my japanese teacher is unless you are familiar with the person - use -san or a suffix appropriate to the person.

You did really well.
Number 4 I was looking for something simpler but that is even better! =D And I think using jyugyou is okay. But kyoushitsu can also be "class" but it's more of the actual room whereas jyugyou is more of like the lesson kind of class. I should have made a note about that above.

Number 5 should be (and my bad I wrote down the wrong thing for school - it was very early when I wrote all this up) "Are wa gakkou desu." So my bad. xD

Number 6 should be "basutei wa asoko desu."

Number 7 "boku wa sakka wo shimasu/suru." It's best to practice with Long Form at first because then from there it is much easier to conjugate verbs. Because there are many forms of the verbs that take the stem of the verb (whatever the verb is - masu). And then negative conjugation changes depending on the last character before the "masu" part.

Number 8/9 just try to use longform. Another reason for using it is if you use short form to an elder it can be considered quite rude. And it can be anyone older. Or anyone above you in work also applies to that.

But great job! =D Sorry about the "gakkou" though. I should have come back and checked it before I left. ^^; But yeah just simply do the "masu" form or Long form for now. And it's okay! This is why we have practice.

So as I said in the spoiler (this is allowed to be said since it is not a spoiler for the hw)

"It's best to practice with Long Form at first because then from there it is much easier to conjugate verbs.

"I think using jyugyou is okay. But kyoushitsu can also be "class" but it's more of the actual room whereas jyugyou is more of like the lesson kind of class. I should have made a note about that above."

And I also changed school. It is supposed to be gakkou and I wrote down gaku instead which is incorrect to my knowledge. My bad~

[Azrael]

dude, why is casual-speech SO MUCH MORE COMPLICATED than formal? Seriously x.x ~dies~

[shinkamalei]

for me it isn't.
the way my teacher has taught us gives us a pattern to go by.
If you guys want, I can teach that as well when we get ot it.

[Lucid:]

I made a new friend last night, and she's in a Japanese class. she gave me a few websites from the company that made her textbook.

http://www.csus.edu/indiv/s/sheaa/pr...ocab_main.html

The english version of the other site is being redone and will be up by the end of April; the Japanese version is: http://genki.japantimes.co.jp/

I hope these help.

[shinkamalei]

@lucid:
lolololol that is the same one we use too.

[Lucid:]

woohoo! maybe you guys are in the same class! :O (though I'm sure there's tons and tons of classes that use the same book...)

[shinkamalei]

lolol that would be really freaking weird.
so if she lives in washington - maybe

[Lucid:]

:O SHE DOES! She's going to Western! HOLY COW. that would be so cool if you knew each other. XD

[shinkamalei]

>>;
im a tcc student but i will be going to UW.
but yeah... that is actually really freaky! xDDD

[Lucid:]

haha. small world. I wish I was at school in Washington. ;O; but it's a lot cheaper here in Utah. and they give me a better scholarship on top of that.

[shinkamalei]

which school?
and washington is cool i guess.
but i couldn't go to school if i didn't have assistance from the state.

[Lucid:]

I'm at BYU. it's a church school, and there's a lot of things that bug me about that, but it's worth it. it's got a great advertising program and tuition is only around 2,200 a semester before scholarships and stuff.

[shinkamalei]

yeah i know of BYU.
i went to a mormon church for a little bit when i was younger.
but i think most anyone knows of BYU lol
especially as in the past couple months its been in the news a couple times.

and that sounds expensive!
for me full time at my CC is around 1200
before fafsa and whatnot.
