Conversation
Conversation and Level 2
I will show you how to conversate properly by combining what we have learned so far.
Q : Does Tony speaks Chinese very well? – Toni-san wa chuugoku go ga jouzu desu ka?
A : No, not that good. However, he speaks French very well. – Iie, amari jouzu dewa arimasen. Keredomo, furansu go ga jouzu desu.
Q : Do you travel often? – Yoku ryokou o shimasu ka?
A : No, not that often – Iie, amari shimasen
Q : Is your room wide? – Anata no heya wa hiroi desu ka?
A : No, not that wide. And it is expensive – Iie, amari hiroku arimasen. Soshite, takai desu
Q : The wind was extremely strong this morning – Kesa wa zuibun kaze ga tsuyokatta desu ne
A : Yeah. It was cold – Sou desu ne. Samukatta desu ne.
Meaning : Chuugoku (China), Chuugoku Go (Chinese language), Go (language), Ryokou (Tour / Travel), Hiroi (Wide), Zuibun (Extremely / Very), Tsuyoi (Strong)
The “ne” is something like “huh”, “ah”, etc that doesn’t have any meaning. “ne” is placed at the end of any sentences. Example : Ii desu ne (That’s good), Wakarimasen ne (Don’t understand / Not sure)
