To say that you like something use: suki desu (pronounced ski).
To say that you don't like something use: kirai desu.
For example: Ebi ga suki desu. = I like shrimp.
Maguro ga kirai desu. = I don't like tuna.
Note that we usually use ga with these words. More explanation on ga soon!
The negative of `desu',to be, is `ja arimasen'. The negative of `hima desu',
to have free time is `hima ja arimasen'- `to be busy'. The negative of
`oishii desu', it is delicious, is `oishii ja arimasen'- `it is not
delicious.'
Wa, ga, and mo are similair but are used slightly differently. The details
of wa and ga are well beyond the scope of this lesson. We use wa or ga
to specify the subject of a clause. Ga is exclusionary. It implies one thing
only. Wa is possibly exclusionary. It means this thing and maybe others.
Mo means also. Examples are in the folllowing questions.
The months of the year in Japanese are very easy. We merely add the word
`gatsu' onto the end of the number corresponding to the month. For example
January is ichi-gatsu. Febuary is ni-gatsu. March is san-gatsu.
June is roku-gatsu. October is ju-gatsu.
