[✐3. Moderato] V-Futsu+ no?“When are you going to Japan?”[00:07]Hello, everyone. How are you doing? Firstly, listen to the conversation. Hiroshi and Susy are talking.[00:15]Hiroshi: Morning!Susy: Oh? A big suitcase! Are you going on a trip?H: Yep. After work, I will go straight to Haneda (airport).S: What time is your flight?H: 11:00pm.S: By the way, where are you going?H: Nordic.

Today is Monday, isn’t it!?H: Japanese people are good at short trips like this!(chokko(suru) = go directly to, head straight to)(〜ni yoru = stop off at)[00:52]As you noticed, the ending particle “no(の)” indicates a question. When you are curious about something you see, and you want to know about more, as you know, you can use the sentence structure of plain form + ndesuka. The casual version of this structure is “〜no?”.[01:11]Now we practice how to form this “no”. Don’t forget to put an rising intonation when we say this “no”.Repeat after me[01:23]1. go [masu form] go [jisho-form] Are you going? [jisho gotm + no]2. go back/return3. come4. do5. buy6. pack up/put away/bestow7. can8. carry, bring9. continue/go ahead/stay on10. know[03:57]Now, make a sentence as follows.For example,Are you still eating?→ Are you still eating?Ready?[04:07]1. Are you going by taxi?=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=「いつ、にほんへ いくの?」[00:07]みなさん、こんにちは。おげんきですか。まず、かいわをきいてください。ひろしとスージーがはなしています。[00:15]ひろし: おはよう!スージー:あれ、おおきいスーツケース!りょこうにいくの?ひ: うん。しごとおわったら、はねだにちょっこう。ス: なんじのひこうきなの?ひ: よる11じ。ス: どころで、どこにいくの?ひ: ほくおう。ノルウェー、フィンランド、それから、スウェーデンにも よるんだ。ス: いいねぇ。それで、いつもどるの?ひ: こんしゅうのきんようび。す: え!きょう、げつようびだよね!?ひ: にほんじんは、こういう みじかいりょこう、とくいだから!(ちょっこう(する) = go directly to, head straight to)(〜に よる = stop off at)[01:11]では、この「〜の」のつくりかたをれんしゅうします。Don’t forget to put a rising intonation when you say this “no” at the end.Repeat after me[01:23]1. いきます[masu form]、いく[jisho-form]、いくの?[jisho form + no]2. かえります かえる かえるの?3. きます くる くるの?4. します する するの?5. かいます かう かうの?6. しまいます しまう しまうの?7. できます できる できるの?8. もっていきます もっていく もっていくの?9. つづけます つづける つづけるの?10. しって(い)ます しって(い)る しって(い)るの?[03:57]では、つぎのようにぶんをつくってください。たとえば、まだ、たべますか→ まだ、たべるの?いいですか。[04:07]1. タクシーでいきますか→ タクシーでいくの?Support the show=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=Need more translation & transcript?
