Ghetto Grammar - Japanese Bunpo lesson #106
Today's lesson focuses in on the ghetto grammar principle:
Verb (base II) + nagara - to do while 'verb'ing.
You are able to express past tense and current tenses with this bunpo. After reading the following examples, plug in your favorite Japanese verbs and play, it makes learning Japanese fun!
Example.1. sara o arainagara, kuchibue o fuku. - While doing the dishes, I whistle.
Example 2. enka o kikinagara, sake o nomu - While listening to an enka[1], I drink sake.
Ghetto Grammar Formulation Breakdown -
- Put verb in base II
a. ex 1. The verb arau (to wash) with direct object sara (dishes) is sara o arau - to do the dishes.
b. arau in base II becomes arai.
- Fuse arai and nagara to make arainagara, or the phrase while washing… plugged and played
Past tense, non-polite (familiar), plain-form ending -
Ex. 1 sara o arainagara kuchibue of fuita. - I whistled while doing the dishes.
Past tense, polite ending -
