Point
Verb Boot Camp #2 follows the similar system you learnt in Verb Boot Camp #1.
Now you learn base noun + variables to create multiple expressions. Accompanied verb table includes 70 base words and 9 variables.
For example, the base noun for "telephone" is "DENWA" You add variables to this base word to create multiple expressions:
- DENWA + simasu = make a phone call
- DENWA + simasen = don't make a phone call
- DENWA + simasita = made a phone call
- DENWA + sitaidesu = want to make a phone call
- DENWA + sitakunaidesu = don't want to make a phone call
- DENWA + sitakattadesu = wanted to make a phone call
- DENWA + sitakunakattadesu = didn't want to make a phone call
- DENWA + sitekudasai = please make a phone call
For each base word you learn, you automatically get 9 expressions.
Come back to this lesson to master variables, and try to memorize 2 new base words each day.
You will have 630 expressions in less than 2 months!
See you next time!
