  Sometimes when we talk to people, we talk about what we want to do, what can we do, what could possibly happens, etc. For today's blog, we will discuss some Japanese grammars that can be used to make request, expressing desire, expressing ability, expressing "must", and expressing "if". Making Request To make request using a verb, we can just simply use the ending "kudasai" at the ending of the verb after changing the verb into te-verb (simply remove "-iru" from "-teiru" suffix from this blog ). Example: 食べる🠆食べて🠆 食べてください 食べてください Tabete kudasai Please eat We can also use it like a verb to request for something. Example: 水をください Mizu wo kudasai Water please Expressing Desire To express desire, we can use the ending "-tai" at the end of a verb after changing the verb into i-verb (simply remove "-masu" from the "-masu" suffix rule from  this blog ). Example: 食べる🠆食べたい Taberu 🠆 Tabetai 食べたい tabetai I wan...

When we are talking with other people, we often use adjectives to describe and give properties to the object we are referencing to. We also sometimes use the help of adverbs to describe the adjectives and also verbs. The same thing can also be applied in Japanese because both adjectives and adverbs also exist in Japanese. In this post, we will discuss the adjective and adverb suffix and how to use them in a sentence. Adjective Suffixes In Japanese there are two kinds of adjectives, the one that is called i-adjective and also the one that is called na-adjective. The i-adjectives are the ones that ended in the vowel "-i", while na-adjectives are the ones that are followed by the particle "na" after the adjective and before the noun. Below we will discuss more about each of the adjectives. I-adjectives As mentioned above, this kind of adjective ends with the vowel "i". To use this kind of adjective in a phrase, we can just simply add it before a noun. Example...

So in this post, we will discuss the basics on how to tell and ask the time and location in Japanese.
