Comments on: “~te” Form http://nihongo.anthonet.com/te-form/ Facing problem with your conversation with Japanese? Here's the Solution !!! Tue, 26 Nov 2024 14:50:04 +0000 hourly 1 By: Tony http://nihongo.anthonet.com/te-form/#comment-5288 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 09:45:28 +0000 http://nihongo.anthonet.com/?p=43#comment-5288 Hi Matias,
Your translation can be used as well. The word does mean “want to or wish to” and translated as follow:

If it is fine with you, I wish you could come.

Hope this help

Does this mean “it would be good if you would come”? I hear -te hoshii means “I want you to…”, but for this sentence it makes no sense.. Anyone? :)

Thanks!

However, can you please explain the difference between saseru and sasete? These two words is confusing and I am not sure wen to use them since I read that both meaning is the same.

You mean “why change to “~temasu” or just “te”?

This need a little practice. You just have to memorize the rules like “u to tte”, “ku to ite”, etc. Just go through the list in this page.

Is it as simple as that is just what happens and I learn the structure? Thank you.

Kiru has two different meanings. Kiru, the Group 2, verb has a te form Kite. This Kiru means ‘to wear’. Kimono is the wearable thing, the dress.
The other Kiru is a group 1 verb meaning to cut. This has a te form kitte.

Verbs with iru and eru endings have this potential for confusion. Depending on the group they belong, they conjugate differently.

Kiru is special similar to “miru”. “te” is used.

The rest that end with “ru” will be “tte”

That is just what my dictionary says it is and also I thought that the general ‘rule’ for putting verbs that end in -ru into -te form was to replace with -tte. Maybe I should get a new dictionary.
