Tenth meeting: Lesson 8, Ii heya desune. (This was a nice room)

This week lesson is continuing from previous lesson which we learnt about the things might be in the room and its proposition.

What things are there in the room?

たな /tana = cupboard                                    にんぎょう /ningyoo = doll

はこ /hako = box                                            テーブル /teeburu = table

カップ /kappu = cup                                      ほん /hon = book

しゃしん /shashin = picture                           とけい /tokee = clock

Proposition, there is only 4 that we’ve learnt:

うえ /ue = above/ on                                      なか /naka = in

した /shita = below/ under                             よこ /yoko = beside

To apply those terms, we played a game that I can call as “Doko desuka?” (where should I put it?). On this game, someone will ask to help him/her to tidy up his/her room. So, this is the example:

A         : とけいは　どこ　ですか？   “tokee wa doko desuka?” (where should I put this clock?)

B         : たな　の　うえに　おねがいします。   “tana no ue ni onegaishimasu.” (inside the box please.)

A         : たな　の　うえ　ですね。   “tana no ue desune.” (inside the box right.)

B         : はい。   “hai.” (yes.)

A         : わかりました。   “wakarimashita” (alright.)

After that, we are practicing how to react in Japanese way when visit to someone place. Everyone with partner will say what in the book and additional note given by sensee. The conversation:

Before come in.

A         : ごめんください。

             “gomenkudasai” (excuse me, sorry for interrupt.)

B         : いらっしゃい。　どうぞ　あがって　ください。

             “irrasshai. Doozo agatte kudasai.” (welcome. Please come up.)

A         : おじゃまします。

             “ojamashimasu” (I’m going in)

In the room.

A         : いい　へやですね。

             “ii heya desune.” (such a nice room.)

             “doomo arigatoo. Ocha doozo.” (thank you. Here is tea.)

A         : いただきます。おいしいですね。

             “itadakimasu. Oishii desune.” (let’s drink. It’s delicious.)

Look around the room.

A         : これ、なんですか？

             “kore, nandesuka?” (what is this?)

B         : かんこくの　にんぎょうです。

             “kankoku no ningyo desu.” (It’s a Korean doll.)

A         : そうですか。きれいですね。

             “soodesuka. Kiree desune.” (Oh, that’s it. It’s beautiful.)

A         : あのう、といれは　どこですか？

             “anoo, toire wa doko desuka?” (excuse me, where is toilet?)
