7. 4 Verbs Japanese verbs have three different bases for conjugation. (1) Positive/Negative (2) Present/Past (tense) (3) Polite/Plain (Dictionary Form) This lesson deals with (1) Masu/Masen (Present tense of +/ ) in Polite Forms. For more details of verb conjugation, see 8. 1, p. 147; 11.1, p. 3; and also 14. 2, p. 50 in vol. 2. 7. 4. 1 " /" ik'ita;" Polite Forms ma su ma se n The Masu Form (of a verb) is a polite form ( + ) in the present tense. is a polite form ( ) in the present tense. oki-mmm to get up oki-msig not to get up ne-magm to go to bed ne-mgii ia not to go to bed Weekday verbs English Present ( + ) Present ( ) to get up oki-masu oki-masen to wash arai-masu arai-masen to eat tabe-masu tabe-masen to wear ki-masu ki-masen to brush migaki-masu migaki-masen to go iki-masu iki-masen to return kaeri-masu kaeri-masen to come ki-masu ki-masen to study benkyoushi-masu benkyoushi-masen to read yomi-masu yomi-masen to listen kiki-masu kiki-masen to write kaki-masu kaki-masen to use tsukai-masu tsukai-masen to buy kai-masu kai-masen to drink nomi-masu nomi-masen to phone denwashi-masu denwashi-masen to watch mi-masu mi-masen to have a shower shawaa o abi-masu shawaa o abi-masen to make tsukuri-masu tsukuri-masen to go to bed ne-masu ne-masen to do shi-masu shi-masen 126

In Japanese grammar, the object comes before the verb, followed by the particle "^r", an object marker. eg. btcl UitT-U (f IwatchT.V. I play tennis. I read books. My mother reads a newspaper. My father and older brother read magazines. My older sister and I read books. 127
7. 4. 3 Destination & Particle " fc" Hh Verbs ("ni" 4- Verbs) Particle "fc" 1 ni Intransitive verbs of motion such as 'Vc? (iki masu) (go) and (ki masu) (come) require a destination, followed by the particle a destination marker. eg. bfcu I go to school. I come to university. ^ Hii'o I return home. fiv'1 ^ I enter the room. I get on the bus. My mother goes to the supermarket. My father and older brother go to work. My older sister and I go to school. In some cases, (pronounced "e") replaces "i/c". This does not change the meaning. However, "K" and are not always interchangeable. 128
7.5 "< ^ ^ McS ''etc. Degree Words 3: Frequency i tsu mo yo ku to ki do ki "V^O^" (always), "j:<" (often) and (sometimes) are for positive statements, while i9" (not often/much), "tbofctz-'tfet/vlf" (not very often) and "if A/if A/ (never), are for negative statements, to show the frequency of a particular action. They are adverbs and come directly after the subject in most cases. (However, their position is flexible.) 100% ( + ) always 80% ct < ( + ) often 50% ( + ) sometimes 30% (-) not often 15% (-) or (-) don't do... very often (rarely do) 0% (-) never eg. bfcl IU3: I myu play tennis. I ft play tennis. mt v-^ts^lt-ito I g m tt!lqi i play tennis. mt I doi'it play tennis^ iry mielh. I ii v r play tennis. 129
7. 6 Particle"ft" 2 The particle "hz" also indicates a time and follows definite times such as "A (-5 < ) D" (6 o'clock), "tk (^ <) cj: 5 0 (W (Thursday), (fc^o)" (February) etc. However, general time expressions such as "2b c^" (morning), (afternoon), "2b Lfc" (tomorrow), J; 5" (today), CO o" (yesterday), " >1^ 5" (next week), and (this month) do not require U\L". i< luiab IS I get up nfi 6:00a.m. (>< y 5 0 K 7" U I am going to Brisbane i Thursday. izli/u I am going to Japan am February. Compare these with the following sentences: fafife^7^^"t"o I get up utt 6:00 a.m. (in the morning). %Alt&>cS I read the paper m the mornings. < J: 1/ tf Mr. Tanaka watches T.V. aft 9:00 p.m. (at night). /vfict -St" 1/ tf Mr. Tanaka watches T.V. nft night. 7. 7 Particle "V" 1 The particle indicates the place where you do something (action), such as watching T.V., resting and studying. eg. 9 > Tf x 1/I watch T.V. si home. tp I have a rest here. ^ J; 5 I study the library. 130
