(jp) N Desu
We often use the phrases n desu ga or n desu kedo as a prelude to a request or invitation. Sometimes therest of the sentence is left off if what the speaker is asking for is already clear from context.
When shopping for something, customers often end their sentences with n desu ga or n desu kedo whentelling the shop clerk what they want.
Sample Sentences
1. すみません。トイレに⾏きたいんですが。
Sumimasen. Toire ni ikitaindesu ga.

1. わたしはまだ19歳なんです。
Watashi wa mada jūkyū-sai na n desu.
“I’m still nineteen years old. (So I can’t drink alcohol.)”
*Since we use n da or n desu when asking for an explanation, we often use them with “wh-“ words.
For Example:
1. どこに⾏くんですか。
Doko ni iku n desu ka.
“Where are you headed?”
- どうしたんですか。
Dōshita n desu ka.
“What happened?
Verb ＋ n da/n desu
1. 明⽇、彼⼥の両親の家に⾏くんです。
Ashita, kanojo no ryōshin no uchi ni iku n desu.
“I’m going to visit my girlfriend’s parents. (So I’m nervous.)”
i-adjective ＋n da/n desu
1. このケーキはおいしいんですよ。
Kono kēki wa oishii n desu yo.

na-adjective ＋ na ＋ n da/n desu

(jp) I don’t feel well.
体調が悪いです。
Taichō ga warui desu.
(jp) I became sick.
わたしは病気になった。
Watashi wa byōki ni natta.
(jp) n da (んだ), n desu (んです)
We use n da and its formal form, -n desu, for giving and asking for explanations. In written language, wemore commonly use no da or no desu.
In the dialogue, Mr. Shimoyama said Atama ga itain da ( 頭が痛いんだ。) because Erika was worrying about him and he was trying to explain why he didn’t look well. If he had simply said Atama ga itai (頭が痛
い。), it would sound as if he was just stating the fact and it may have come off as a little abrupt.
By adding n da to the sentence, it makes it clearer that the speaker is trying to explain something or make a point.
Let’s compare the following sentences.
1. 僕は彼⼥がいます。
Boku wa kanojo ga imasu.
“I have a girlfriend.”
- 僕は彼⼥がいるんです。
Boku wa kanojo ga irundesu.
“I have a girlfriend.”
Both sentences mean “I have a girlfriend.” However, the first sentence is simply stating the fact that you
have a girlfriend. However, in the second sentence, you’re trying to explain or imply something by saying that you have a girlfriend. For example, “The fact is that I have a girlfriend, so I’m not interested in you” or something to that effect.
■ Formation
[informal sentence] ＋n da/n desu.
*When n da or n desu directly follows the affirmative form of a na-adjective or a noun, we insert nabetween them.
(jp) “It will probably rain.”
⾬が降るだろう。
Ame ga furu darō.
⾬が降るでしょう。
Ame ga furu deshō.
(jp) “It might rain.”
⾬が降るかもしれない。
Ame ga furu kamo shirenai.
⾬が降るかもしれません。
Ame ga furu kamo shiremasen.
(jp) “The test is probably difficult.”
テストは難しいかもしれない。
Tesuto wa muzukashii kamo shirenai.
(jp) “The test is probably easy.”
テストは簡単だろう。
Tesuto wa kantan darō.
テストは簡単でしょう。
Tesuto wa kantan deshō.
(jp) “Ken is probably Japanese.”
ケンは⽇本⼈だろう。
Ken wa Nihon-jin darō.
ケンは⽇本⼈でしょう。
Ken wa Nihon-jin deshō.
(jp) “Ken might be Japanese.”
ケンは⽇本⼈かもしれない。
Ken wa Nihon-jin kamo shirenai.
(jp) Darō (だろう) and Deshō (でしょう)
Darō and its formal form, deshō, come after nouns, and the informal form of a verb or adjective. Thesewords express the speaker’s guess or prediction and are similar to “probably” in English. The speaker’s guess is based on some information or knowledge he or she has.
Kamoshirenai ( かもしれない ) and Kamoshiremasen (かもしれません)
Kamoshirenai and its formal form, kamoshiremasen, express probability and come after the noun or, the
informal form of a verb or adjective. They indicate that something is possible, but that the speaker is
uncertain whether it is true. It’s similar to “might” or “maybe” in English. The probability you’ll hear a
phrase that uses kamoshirenai is not as high as one that uses darō.
(jp) yotei (予定)
Yotei is a noun and it means “schedule” or “plan.” When yotei comes after the dictionary form or nai-form of a verb, it means that something is scheduled to take place (or not, if the verb is negative). Whereas with tsumori you are talking about something you “intend” to do, with yotei are you simply stating something you are scheduled to do as a fact.
Formation
[Verb; dictionary form or nai-form ] ＋ yotei da/yotei desu.
（私は）明⽇病院に⾏く予定です。
(Watashi wa) ashita byōin ni iku yotei desu.
“I’m scheduled to go to the hospital tomorrow.”
兄は来年結婚する予定です。
Ani wa rainen kekkon suru yotei desu.
“My brother is scheduled to get married next year.”
パーティーは５時から始まる予定です。
Pātī wa go-ji kara hajimaru yotei desu.
“The party is scheduled to start at five.”
私はパーティーに⾏かない予定だ。
Watashi wa pātī ni ikanai yotei da.
“I’m not scheduled to go to the party.”

The so-called na-adjectives get their name from the fact that the adjectives require that
na be inserted between the na-adjective and the noun it is modifying when preceding a
noun. To create the adverbial form of an na-adjective, the na-adjective must be changed
to its continuative form*. The continuative form is created by following the na-adjective
with ni.
For example:
きれいkirei → きれいに kirei ni
真剣 shinken → 真剣に shinken ni
See the chart below.

anzen safe 安全に anzen ni 安全に運転す る anzen niunten suru to drive safely *The continuative form is also known as renyōkei (連用形).
(jp) Adjectives into adverbs
Today’s grammar point is turning adjectives into their adverbial form. In Japanese there
are two types of adjectives, i-adjectives and na-adjectives. The so-called i-adjectives get
their name from the fact that the final syllable of the adjective is i. To create the
adverbial form of an i-adjective, the i-adjective must be changed to its continuative
form*. The continuative form is created by changing the final i syllable of an i-adjective to
ku.
For example:
新しい atarashi → 新しく atarashiku 暖かい atatakai → 暖かく atatakaku See the chart below. Adjective Meaning Adverbial form Modifying a verb English 遅い osoi slow 遅く osoku 遅く走る osoku hashiru to run slowly うるさい urusai loud うるさく urusaku うるさく話す urusaku

(jp) The particle de ~
Let’s review one of the usages of the particle de. De can indicate a weak causal relationship between two
conditions or events. It directly follows noun phrases and na-adjectives, but cannot be used after i-
adjectives, which have their own -te form.
- ⽗の仕事で⾊々な国に住みました。
Chichi no shigoto de iroiro na kuni ni sumimashita.
I’ve lived in a lot of countries because of my father’s job. - (兄は）５歳の時、病気で死にました。
(Ani wa) go-sai no toki, byōki de shinimashita.
(My brother) got sick and died when I was five.

2. ⼦供の時、ペラペラ話せました。でも、今は全然話せません。 Kodomo no toki, perapera hanasemashita. Demo, ima wa zenzen hanasemasen. I could (speak foreign languages) when I was a child, but not anymore.
Sample Sentences:
- とても疲れたのでもう歩けない。
Totemo tsukareta no de, mō arukenai.
I am too tired to walk anymore. - ジムはパーティーに来られませんでした。
Jimu wa pātī ni koraremasen deshita.

(jp) Thank you for everything.
⾊々ありがとうございました。

Kore wa watashi no kodomo desu.
(jp) Language Tip: ra Deletion
In the dialog, we had one example of the potential that did not include “ra.”
ええ、⾷べれます。
Ee, taberemasu.
This is an example of what’s called ra Deletion, where “ra” is dropped from the potential form of a verb.
This has become quite common in spoken Japanese recently, and, while technically a non-standard
variation, it has started to gain acceptance among native speakers.
Standard Potential -ra Deletion

(jp) n da (んだ), n desu (んです)
We use n da and its formal form, -n desu, for giving and asking for explanations. In written language, wemore commonly use no da or no desu.
In the dialogue, Mr. Shimoyama said Atama ga itain da ( 頭が痛いんだ。) because Erika was worrying
about him and he was trying to explain why he didn’t look well. If he had simply said Atama ga itai (頭が痛
い。), it would sound as if he was just stating the fact and it may have come off as a little abrupt. By
adding n da to the sentence, it makes it clearer that the speaker is trying to explain something or make a point.
Let’s compare the following sentences.
1. 僕は彼⼥がいます。
Boku wa kanojo ga imasu.
“I have a girlfriend.”
- 僕は彼⼥がいるんです。
Boku wa kanojo ga irundesu.
“I have a girlfriend.”
Both sentences mean “I have a girlfriend.” However, the first sentence is simply stating the fact that you
have a girlfriend. However, in the second sentence, you’re trying to explain or imply something by saying that you have a girlfriend. For example, “The fact is that I have a girlfriend, so I’m not interested in you” or something to that effect.
■ Formation

(jp) Might and Probably
Darō (だろう) and Deshō (でしょう)
Darō and its formal form, deshō, come after nouns, and the informal form of a verb or adjective. Thesewords express the speaker’s guess or prediction and are similar to “probably” in English. The speaker’s
guess is based on some information or knowledge he or she has.
Kamoshirenai ( かもしれない ) and Kamoshiremasen (かもしれません)
Kamoshirenai and its formal form, kamoshiremasen, express probability and come after the noun or, the
informal form of a verb or adjective. They indicate that something is possible, but that the speaker is
uncertain whether it is true. It’s similar to “might” or “maybe” in English. The probability you’ll hear a
phrase that uses kamoshirenai is not as high as one that uses darō.
(jp) yotei (予定)
Yotei is a noun and it means “schedule” or “plan.” When yotei comes after the dictionary form or nai-form of a verb, it means that something is scheduled to take place (or not, if the verb is negative). Whereas with tsumori you are talking about something you “intend” to do, with yotei are you simply stating something you are scheduled to do as a fact.
Formation
[Verb; dictionary form or nai-form ] ＋ yotei da/yotei desu.

Making a Question (Do you do things like~?):
★ You can also use 〜たりする (~tari suru) to ask someone if they do things like~. In this case, usually only one ~tari is used.
漫画を読んだりしますか。
Manga o yondari shimasu ka?
Do you do things like reading manga?
★ This can also be translated simply as “do you read manga?”
Tari - Negetive form
★ You can also use the negative form of 〜たりする (~tari suru) to say that you don’t (won’t) do things like~. For example:
笑ったりしないよ。
Warattari shinai yo.
I won’t laugh (or make fun of you).
★ This phrase is often used when you are trying to get someone to tell you something but they are hesitating because they think you will laugh at them or make fun of them. Literally, it means “I won’t do things like laugh” but the meaning is “I won’t laugh (or make fun of you)”.
