Japanese Language is Fun! - Part 6

Sorry, I took a lil longer to continue~

In this 6th session of learning the basic of Nihon-go, we are going to learn about telling/asking about going places... In Japanese, verb will be at the very end of the sentence. Please.. never ever cut the conversation! Japanese are very patience and cool, OK! Tak gelojoh macam hangpa

Ikimasu / Kimasu / Kaerimasu

To pair with these 'ikimasu', 'kimasu' and 'kaerimasu', we need to add 'he' before it. This 'he' sounded like "ek"
i.e : "... he ikimasu"

Since verb will be the laaaaaast thing in a sentence.. so what we can say before "ikimasu" then?
1) Time / When (followed by "ni" if involving numbers such as time/day/month)
2) Person / With whom (followed by "to" except for alone "hitori de")
3) Vehicle / By or on what (followed by "de" except for on foot/walk "aruite")
4) Place / Where

 

For example : Ashita koibito to kuruma de eigakan he ikimasu

Simple, right? in direct translation, tomorrow - with lover - by car - watch movie - going.
ok, the right translation is "Tomorrow, I'm going out to watch some movie with my lover by car"

What about how to ask for the very same situation?
1) When : Itsu no eigakan he ikimasu ka?
2) With whom : Dare/donata to eigakan ikimasu ka?
3) On what : Nan de eigakan ikimasu ka?
4) Where : ashita Doko he ikimasu ka?

Malay version :

Soalan mak-mak "Bila nak pi tengok wayang tu?" "Pergi dengan siapa?" "Pergi naik apa" "Esok pergi mana?" hahaha

Past tense : Kinou eigakan he ikimashita         Yesterday, I went to watch movie.

Not going anywhere : Doko mo ikimasen
                                    Past tense : Doko mo ikimasen deshita

When "ikimasu" means "to go", "kimasu" means "to come"
e.g : Kurasu he kimasu          Come to class
        Koko he kimasu             Come here


And "kaerimasu" means "return"
e.g : Uchi he kaerimasu           Return home
        Inaka he kaerimasu          Return to hometown/village
        Malaysia he kaerimasu    Return back to Malaysia
        Johor he kaerimasu          Return to Johor
