Japanese Language is FUN! - Part 7.1.1

Continued from Lesson 7.. we are still in the chapter of making VERB sentences. When talking about action; there are thousand words need to be learnt. Apart from 10 examples given in the previous entry, here I listed down few more:-

Tabemasu = Eat           Hiru gohan o tabemasu = Eating lunch                                           Sakana o tabemasu = Eating fish      Nomimasu = Drink           Mizu o nomimasu = Drinking water                                                Sake o nomimasen = Not drinking sake      Mimasu = Watch / see           Eiga o mimasu = Watching movie      Yomimasu = Read           Zasshi o yomimasu = Reading magazine      Kikimasu = Listen / hear           Ongaku o kikimasu = Listen to the music      Kakimasu = Write / draw / paint E o kakimasu = Drawing / painting      Kaimasu = Buy           Bagu o kaimasu = Buying a handbag      Torimasu = Take           Okane o torimasu = Take the money      Kirimasu = Cut / slice           Kami o kirimasu = Paper cutting      Kakemasu = Make           Denwa o kakemasu = Make a phone call      Suimasu = Smoking           Tabako o suimasen = Not smoking      Tsukaimasu = Use           ATM o tsukaimasu = Use ATM machine      Dashimasu = Withdraw           ATM de okane o dashimasu = Withdraw money from ATM      Okimasu = Wake up           Nemasu = Sleep      Hatarakimasu = Work           Yasumimasu = Take a rest / break      Okurimasu = Send / deliver           Labuleta o okurimasu = Sending a love letter      Agemasu = Give           Purezento o agemasu = Giving a present      Moraimasu = Receive from           Nengajyou o moraimasu = Receiving a NY card       Kashimasu = Borrow to / lend  Kasa o kashimasu = Lend an umbrella      Karimasu = Borrow from           Ichi-man-en okane o karimasu = Borrow 10,000yen      Oshiemasu = Teach           Nihon-go o oshiemasu = Teaching Japanese language      Naraimasu = Learn from           Ryori o naraimasu = Learn cooking ** Itaria Ryori = Italian Cuisine

If you had notice, most verbs ended with '..masu'. How about those words without '...masu'?

It become 'o shimasu'. 

e.g : Syukudai o shimasu = Doing homework

        Dansu o shimasu = Dancing

        Tenisu o shimasu = Playing tennis

        Kaigi o shimasu = Having a meeting

Well, when asking they are using..

Nani o shimasu ka?          What are you doing?
