Lesson 10: "Trains" |
|
|
|
| A: |
I want to go to Narita Airport, but… (can you help me?) |
Narita kuukou ni ikitai desu ga. |
| B: |
By train or by bus? |
Densha desu ka? Basu desu ka? |

I want to go by train. |
Densha de ikitai desu. |
| B: |
First, ride the Chuo line and go to Shinjuku Station. |
Mazu, chuuou sen ni notte, Shinjuku Eki ni ikimasu. |
| |
It's the fifth station, and takes about fifteen minutes. |
Goban me no eki de, juugo-ppun gurai kakarimasu. |
| |
At Shinjuku Station, transfer to Narita Express. It's platform number four. |
Shinjuku Eki de Narita Ekusupuresu ni norikaemasu. purattofoomu yon-ban desu. |

B: |

O-ki wo tsukete kudasai. |
Notes: Verbs!
Did you know that Japanese verbs are easier to learn than those of European languages? They're easier because there are no helping verbs, verbs almost always appear at the end of the phrase or sentence (so it's not hard to know where to put them), and they don't need to be conjugated by person. They do, however, have some unusal forms, and we'll give you just a taste of some of those that appear in this dialog.
| Verb |
"te-form" |
"tai form" |
| kimasu (come) |
kite (come and...) |
kitai (want to come) |
| ikimasu (go) |
itte (go and…) |
ikitai (want to go) |
| norimasu (ride) |
notte (ride and…) |
noritai (want to ride) |
| norikaemasu (transfer) |
norikaete (transfer and…) |
norikaetai (want to transfer) |
| wakarimasu(understand) |

Pronunciation Tip
Vowels are easy to pronounce, similar to Spanish or Hawaiian (as commonly pronounced by non-native speakers):
a = "ah" as in "taco" or "aloha"
i = "ee" as in "Tijuana" or "Waikiki"
u = "oo" as in "Eres tu" or "Luau"
e = "eh" as in "Espanol" or "Kameamea"
o = "oh" as in "Mexico" or "Molokai" |
