Sarina です。
We studied about 名詞文(めいしぶん)Which is the sentence with [Noun].
Today we will study HOW TO make QUESTION sentence with 名詞文(めいしぶん)!
If you wish to review what is 名詞文(めいしぶん),please check the article below!
Let’s Study together!
How to make a question sentence?
For this question, it is easy to answer.
You can just put [か(Ka)] at the end of 名詞文(めいしぶん),
So, if you want to make the sentence
[Are you a Student?]
at first you can make a sentence, [You are a Student],
Which is
「あなたは がくせいです。」
あなた=You. がくせい=Student
and then you can put [か(Ka)]
at the end of this sentence.
so,
[あなたは がくせいですか?]
means [Are you a Student?]
so, we can try to practice little bit more!
Practice
Let’s try to make the sentences below.
- Are you Japanese?
- Is this a book?
- Is he a Student?
At first you can try to make a normal sentence.
so ① you can try to make [You are Japanese.]
Thinking time …………………………………
Are you ready to answer?
Answer
- あなたは にほんじん ですか? (Anatawa NihonJin DesuKa?)
- これは ほん ですか? (Korewa Hon DesuKa?)
- かれは がくせい ですか? (Karewa Gakusei DesuKa?)
あなた=You
にほんじん=Japanese(person)
これ=This
ほん=Book
かれ=He
がくせい=Student
How to Answer the question?
Now if you want to answer these question, Let’s think how to answer it?
For example the question [Are you a Student?]
Your answer will be [Yes or No]
So, Let’s see how to answer Yes and No in Japanese.
Answer [Yes]
If you want to answer [Yes] for the question,
You can say [はい。] or [はい、そうです。] in general and formal situation.
But for your close friend, you can answer [うん。] or Just nadded.
はい(Hai) means [Yes]
はい、そうです(Hai, Soudesu)means [Yes, it is or Yes exactly].
うん(Un), you can use for your friend. means like [Yap or Yeah!]
So, if someone ask you,
あなたは がくせいですか?
and if you want to answer [Yes]
You can say [はい!]
so how to answer NO? Let’s see that!
Answer [No]
If you want to answer [No] for the question,
you can say [いいえ。] or [いいえ、そうじゃありません。] in general and formal situation.
But for your close friend, you can say [うううん] with shaking your head.
いいえ(IIE)means [No]
いいえ、そうじゃありません。(IIE SouJaArimasen) means [No it’s not]
うううん(UUUN)means like [Nope]
so if someone ask you
あなたは にほんじん ですか?
And you want to answer.
you can say [いいえ、そうじゃありません] or [いいえ] or [うううん]
