N5 Grammar Review: Vない

The ない form of the verb is used to mean "not" or "don't". I'm going to make some posts about grammar that uses this form soon, but first I thought it'd be good to go over how exactly we get the ない form.

To make the ない form:

Group 1: change the last 'u' in the dictionary form to 'a', then add ない:

書く（かく）→ 書かない [to write -> not write]

話す（はなす）→ 話さない [to speak -> not speak]

立つ（たつ）→ 立たない [to stand -> not stand]

遊ぶ（あそぶ）→ 遊ばない [to play -> not play]

読む（よむ）→ 読まない [to read -> not read]

知る（しる）→ 知らない [to know -> not know]

Be careful! If the verb ends in う, it becomes わ:

歌う（うたう）→ 歌わない [to sing -> not sing]

買う（かう）→ 買わない [to buy -> not buy]

Group 2: add ない to the stem:

食べる（たべる）→ 食べない [to eat -> not eat]

寝る（ねる）→ 寝ない [to sleep -> not sleep]

見る（みる）→ 見ない [to see -> not see]

教える（おしえる）→ 教えない [to teach -> not teach]

Group 3 of course is a bit different:

する → しない [to do -> not do]

来る（くる）→ こない [to come -> not come]

The ない form is used in casual speech to mean "don't/doesn't do":

Particles in brackets because you can drop them in casual speech.

魚（は）食べない さかな（は）たべない = I don't eat fish

父（は）雑誌（を）読まない ちち（は）ざっし（を）よまない = My dad doesn't read magazines

コーヒー（を）全然飲まない コーヒー（を）ぜんぜん　のまない = I don't drink coffee at all

Other than that, the ない form is used a lot as a base for more complex grammar. It's important to get to grips with it early on.

I'm still a beginner myself (I'm only N4 level!) so please let me know if I've made any mistakes!

If the Nordic 5 were your lawyers:

Sweden: Is there on time, but forgot all his papers.

Denmark: Your honor, my client slayed. Literally and metaphorically!

Norway: Uses his fairies to leave false evidence to convict someone else

Iceland: I am literally neurodivergent and a minor!

Finland: ACTUALLY KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING

understand, see, hear · particle が · particle と

(⁠｡⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠✧ N5 grammar [ことのは lesson 18]

わかる, みえる, きこえる

The particle を is generally used to indicate the direct object with transitive verbs, but with the verbs: 分かる (わかる -> to understand), 見える (みえる -> to see), 聞こえる (きこえる -> to hear) you have to use the particle が

example: スパイン語(ご)が分(わ)かりますか translation: do you understand Spanish?

particle が

we have seen the particle が being used to indicate the direct object of some verbs, but it can also express a relationship between two contrasting or opposing clauses.

example: 冬(ふゆ)ですが、 今日(きょう)は 暑(あつ)いです translation: it is winter, but it's hot today

particle と

✩ with (accompained by): this particle is used to indicate specify the person or animal with whom an action is being performed. person/animal と -> with person/animal

example: ケンくんとこの映画(えいが)を見(み)ました translation: I saw this movie with Ken

✩ exhaustive list nouns: this particle is used at the end of a list of two or more objects (inanimate or animate). Noun A + と + Noun B -> Noun A and Noun B

example: サラさんに 本(ほん)と辞書(じしょ)をあげました

translation: I have my book and dictionary to Sarah.

I'm planning to start a solo TTRPG Star Wars campaign in the near future, so I'm brainstorming some NPCs! I created most of them specifically for this game, but I also decided to add a couple of my old SW characters because I want to use them for *something*.

Vesper Durant: Pau'an mercenary, currently employed aboard the smugglers' ship Synestia as bodyguard and muscle.

Captain Nadir: Devaronian captain of the Synestia, smuggler and elderly menace.

Mitth’iav’iklir (Thiavik): teenage Chiss thief, he was "kindly rescued" by Captain Nadir from his former indentured life with Black Sun and is currently traveling with the crew of the Synestia.

N5-75: refurbished BX commando droid, she officially belongs to Captain Nadir but considers herself a free droid, thank you very much.

Maava Norgas: Chagrian Inquisitor known as the Eleventh Sister. She leads the Star Destroyer Scepter in its hunt for any Jedi that survived Order 66.

Vandu Kreed: former Mikkian Jedi, currently on the run from the Empire. He should really learn to dress less conspicuously.

Eran Ziel: Nautolan captain of the Imperial Star Destroyer Scepter, obeys directly to the Eleventh Sister's orders. Despite not being a human, he quickly rose through the Empire's ranks.

Shin Amari: Duros leader of a Rebel cell, she hired the crew of the Synestia for a quick and simple job in the Outer Rim...

Kanji of the day: 女

女 - Woman, female

Kun: おんな、め On: ジョ、ニョ、ニョウ (Pinyin: nǚ | nu:3, rǔ | ru3)

Pictographic: a woman sitting or squatting.

(女 as it appeared in Oracle bone script ~1250-1000 BC. the box shape is meant to represent breasts. This kanji eventually branched off into two directions, one simplified a single breast to represent women 女, the other taking the whole chest and adding nipples to represent mothers 母)

Strokes: 3 Radical: 女 woman

Asking the time · particles ね and よ

(⁠｡⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠✧ N5 grammar [ことのは lesson 8]

What time is it?

何時 (なんじ) is an expression that means "What time is it?"

何 (なん) means "what" and 時 (じ) is a suffix which indicates "hour(s)".

ふん or ぷん is used according to the last number before this suffix which means "minute(s)"

note: sometimes it is acocmpained by 午前 (ごぜん) indicating A.M. or 午後 (ごご) P.M. placed in front of the time.

example: A: 今(いま) , 何時ですか B: 午後 (ごご)10時 (じ)22分 (ふん)です translation: A: What time is it? B: It's 10.22 pm

particles ね and よ

The particle ね is placed at the end of the sentence to express approval, and confirm what the speakers says. It means "right?"

example: 日本語 (にほんご)は 難(むずか) しいですね。 translation: Japanese is difficult, right/isn't it?

The particle よ is placed at the end of the sentence to confirm and insist on the speaker's opinion. It is also used to advice or inform something new for the listener.

example: このパンは 美味(おい)しいですよ! translation: this bread is delicious! (you should try it)
