Japanese lecture 8 : The word of demonstration 2.

The interrogative words that have been listed in the table on following figure. These formations, like those of the demonstrative table, are entirely regular. Particles are added to interrogative words,

ka : indicates indefiniteness

mo も : indicates negation

de mo でも : indicate inclusiveness

Kosoado2

With this table, the donata どなた forms are considered to be more courteous than the dare だれ forms; nan なん is more colloquial than nani なに. Dochira どちらindeicates ‘which’ in the choice between the two object, while dore どれ indicates ‘which’ in the choice among three or more.

How is your learning so far? Feel free to ask me. Now I started understanding the structure which Japanese has. Japanese is complex, but has few exception. Next several chapters, we are going to go through verb, adjective, adverb, You know, these are very important but let’s go slowly.
