- *** KAERIMASU=TO RETURN****KIMASU=TO COME*****IKIMASU=TO GO ****
- To make a sentence into a question we add `ka' onto the end of the
- verb. For example tabemasu becomes tabemasu ka (pronounced tah-be-mas-ka).
- Tabemasen becomes tabemasen ka (don't they eat?). `Ikimasu' means`(they) go.'
- `Ikimasu ka' means `(they) go?'.`Ikimasen' means`(they) don't go'.
- `Ikimasen ka' means `Don't (they) go?'.
- Verbs like ikimasu, kimasu, and kaerimasu normally occur with the
- `relational e' in between the place and themselves. The usual form is
- PLACE + e + VERB. `e' roughly can be thought to mean `to'.
- An example is `Nihon e ikimasu' - `(I) will go to Japan.'
- `Ikimasu'(ee-key-mahs) means to go somewhere. `Kimasu' means to come
- from somewhere else to here.`Kaerimasu' means to go somewhere else from
- here and then return to here. In Japanese the present tense and the future
- tense are pronunced the same. Context is the only difference.
- Ikimasu means (I) go, and also (I) will go.
- Verbs other than `movement verbs'(ie ikimasu) get the `relational o'
- between themselves and the object. Some examples:
- OBJECT o verb
- biiru o nomimasu
- Remember that the masu form means either habitual or future action.
