    Help Japanese sentence validation

    Hi, Thanks for the advise, I can express the idea in a simpler way with: あの婦人が読んでいる本がすごいと思います。 As nice gaijin recommended, but, don't you think that challenging ourselves with way more complex sentences, even, beyond our current level, may help us to progress? And yes I'm still trying to figure...

    Help Japanese sentence validation

    Thanks, One of my goals was to sound casual as if we were talking casually about books and the listener was distracted saying something like "books, books, ah talking about books, the one book that lady is reading is impressive", "the one (book) she is reading", becomes a noun/topic, so the...

    Connecting adjectives

    I'm wondering if is there a reason to use the て form to join adjectives, I mean, why is not as simple as use the particle と (可愛いと小さいです)? Maybe is only a case where it is what it is, but I wonder if there is reason why we can't use と. Or as one member correct me in other post, we can't either use...

    Verb potential form conjugation

    Hi, I just finish studying the potential form of a verb but now I have a question, let's use the potential form of hanasu (hanaseru). hanasu is to talk and hanaseru is to be able or can talk, that's why when asking if you speak Japanese you use nihongoga hanasemasuka and not hanashimasuka...

    Is this phrase correct?

    Thanks a lot both, Mike and Toritoribe, at my current level the one that make more sense for me was: kanojoga iru toki dake, eigawo mini ikimasu. dakara kanojoto eigawo mini ikimasu This one is still too advance for me: Kanojoga iru toki dakeni shika eigawo mini ikanai kara, eigakanni ireba...

    "です" vs. "います"

    If you don't want to expend the money though, check the japanese from zero video series in YouTube, that's a progressive way to learn Japanese topic by topic. You will end purchasing books but for the moment you may start there.

    Difference between TO and MO

    First, thanks for your reply, Yes for eiga I tried to mean dvd or blu ray movies, so eiga is only in the movie theater then? So basically, for the particle part of the question, using TO(と) or MO (も) after each word is almost the same the difference is that if I use MO(も) I must use (も) till...
