How To Say Please In Japanese

 

Japanese Plug and Play Ghetto Grammar

 

Lesson #98

 

The please do and the please don't bunpo with special guest - verb in base TE

 

A quick and easy way to say, "Please verb" in Japanese is to put the Japanese verb into base TE and add the word kudasai [1]. (You can use my tips here as to how to put verbs in base TE). So our plug and play grammar for the day will look like this.

 

Verb (base TE) +Kudasai. = Please Verb.
Verb (base I) + naide + Kudasai = Please Don't Verb.

 

Kudasai comes from the verb meaning -to be kind enough to do for (me) -   More on how to get someone to do something for you or to receive the service of somebody next lesson. For now here are some examples just plug your favorite verb in the place of the following and Practice! Practice! Practice!

 

Ex. 1. Please listen to this music.

            Kono ongaku of kiite kudasai. (verb-kiku (baseTE))

 

Ex.2   Please don't touch my handbag.

            Wataskushi no handbag o sawaranaide kudasai

 

Ex.3. Go Ahead, Please eat.

            Dozo, Tabete kudasai. (Verb - taberu (base TE))

 

Ex. 4 Please don't go

Ikanaide kudasai. (Verb- iku  (verb (base I +naide)

Makurasuki Sensei, Brett McCluskey. enjoys sharing his knowledge of Japanese Grammar  with those serious about becoming fluent in another langauge.  Japanese Just happens to be his forte. He applauds all efforts in of those who pursuit fluency in Japanese, or in whatever language they choose to learn. Journey to Fluency/


I started my Journey toward Japanese fluency at a tender age. I remember studying very hard waking up early every morning to study with only one goal in mind. To be able to converse freely with the Japanese people in their own tongue, I desired this skill more than any other. I worked at it and it has become a continuos study.
