Useful/Interesting Words

Jyugyou = Class
Fudan = Usually, Ordinary day
Kara = From
Made = To
Neko = Cat
Koneko = Kitten (the Ko makes it 'small')
Colours
There are 4 main colours, they are Red, Blue, White and Black
Saying 'I like colour car'.
'Colour' Karuma が Suki Desu
NOTE: If we do not use one of the 4 main colours, we must had の
Example: 'Colour' の Karuma が Suki Desu
Let's break down the sentence.
の = Particle, possessive meaning. In this case, the car possesses 'colour'
Karuma = Car
が = Particle, it marks the object of a like/dislike sentence
Suki = Like
Desu = Is/am/are/was etc. It ends the sentence.
END
That's all for today and the week! Lookout for the next lesson! We'll be going through how to use 'な' adjectives, how to give a reason for something etc.
