~te ikimasu
The other day I shown you the usage of “~te kimasu” which mean “doing something and come back”. Today I will cover the opposite way – “Go and do something” (~te ikimasu).
Example
Go out from home – Uchi o (deru)demasu
Buy cake – Ke-ki o (kau)kaimasu
Go to friend’s house – Tomodachi no uchi e (iku)ikimasu
(I will) buy cake and go (to friend’s house)- Ke-ki o katte ikimasu
You only need to mention the purpose. In the above example, the purpose is to buy cake to a friend’s house. So you only need to mention that you are going out to buy cake.
Other examples
I go and put the luggage in the room – Heya ni nimotsu o (oku)oite ikimasu
I go and send letter at the post office – Yuubinkyoku de tegami o (dasu)dashite ikimasu
I go shopping at the department store in front of the station – Eki mae no depa-to de kaimono o (suru)shite ikimasu
Meaning : Heya (Room), Nimotsu (Luggage), Oku (Put), Yuubinkyoku (Post Office), Dasu (Send), Kaimono (Shopping)
Another usage – Doing something and go
I will take a train and go – Densha ni (noru)notte ikimasu
I will bring camera and go – Kamera o (motsu)motte ikimasu
I will wear coat and go – Ko-to o (kiru)kite ikimasu
Meaning : Densha (Train), Noru (Board – for transport), Kamera (Camera), Motsu (Bring), Ko-to (Coat), Kiru (Wear)
Hope it is not too confuse.
