Nakereba, If I Do not…..

Ikimasen, not go.

Nakereba Ikimasen, (subject) if I do not it will not go well (for me)

Nakereba yokatta, if I do not (ie, tell a secret) it will be good (for me).

What’s the difference between “nakute mo” and “nakute wa”?

「なくても」と「なくては」という表現はどんなに違いますか。

you can also use “ga” which is equivalent to “kedo”

In this example, it doesn’t actually means “but”. It is something like “so”

I’m wish to buy a wallet, so can you show me where it is place

Thank you Tony,
Could you just explain me the use of “kedo” in the 1st sentence, is it like “demo/but” ?

Thanks again!

Hello Tony,

How could we say : “I would like/ I’m looking for…this or that” when you are in a shop for example.
Also how can we say “You don’t have to hurry, I can wait”

Thank you!
