How to use

Study materials in “Mangadou” were created to help you to study Japanese but they cannot be a base of your study.

Since in Japanese many grammatical constructions, particles and words have several meanings, explanations in the notes are very much simplified and describe only the meanings that appear in the given context. If you wish to know more about described grammar forms, I recommend checking  textbooks or other sources.

HIRAGANA AND ROMAJI IN MANGA

japanese notes - how to use

You might notice that in grammar explanations, in some places there is hiragana and in some there is romaji. In the example above, we can see the sentences:

To create a potential form, in case of ru-verbs (vowel – stem verbs) る is changed into られる.

To create a potential form, in case of u-verbs (consonant – stem verbs) ～u is changed into ～eru.

 

In order to not confuse the reader, I decided to use romaji when hiragana does not change in the same way as the sound of the words do.

 

Please take a look at hiragana and romaji of the examples below:

外国人がいこくじんは納豆なっとうを食たべられる？
Gaikokujin ha nattou wo taberareru?

In this case verb 食たべる (taberu)  was changed into　食たべられる (taberareru), which means that both hiragana characters and sound changed in the same way.

日本語にほんごが話はなせる？
Nihongo ga hanaseru?
Can you speak Japanese?

In this case verb  話はなす (hanasu) was changed into　話はなせる (hanaseru). Although phonetically ～u became ～eru, hiragana was changed from す to せる, not from う to える.
