Well, I didn't go for lesson on the 4th of May because my English Teaching course was shifted to Tuesday for that time. But the lesson that I missed was only the revision and practise of the last lesson~
Then I didn't blog last week because I was tired XD We learnt about another 3 ways to say "because"~
① …て、…
♫ Change the "reason" into て-form.
♫♫ Use this form of "because" when the things are happening in sequence.
e.g. ニュースを聞いて、びっくりしました。
-- Because I heard the news, I was surprised.
You CANNOT use it like this:
e.g. 友達が来て、掃除します。
Because it will become like you will clean your room when your friend has arrived at your room, lol~
② …ので、…
♫ Change the "reason" into the plain form.
♫ For い-adj, just use it as it is.
♫ For な-adj and Nouns, just add な before ので.
♫♫ The use of this form of "because" is for general use.
e.g.1. 暇なので、明日映画を見ようと思います。
-- Because I'm free, I intend to watch a movie tomorrow.
e.g.2. 友達が来るので、私は部屋を掃除します。
-- Because my friend will come, I will clean my room.
③ …ために、…
♫ Change the "reason" into plain form.
♫ For Nouns, just add の before ために.
♫♫ The use of this form of "because" is usually for bad things.
e.g. ひどい風のために、木が倒れました。
Because of the severe wind, the trees fell.
So for today, Lesson 12, we learnt the 3 uses of "ように"!
① "A ように、B."
♪ In order to achieve A, I must B
♪ I must B so that I can A.
♫ Use the plain form before ように.
e.g. 日本語がよく話せるように、毎日勉強します。
In order to speak Japanese well, I will study everyday.
② To develop a habit
e.g. 子供の時、私の母は『雨の日に出かけないようにしなさい』といつも言いました。
► "しなさい" can be changed into "してください" too.
-- When I was young, my mother always told me not to go out on rainy days.
③ Developed a habit
e.g. 静かな彼は笑えるようになりました。
-- He who is quiet had become able to laugh.
And yup~~ 今日はここまでです～！♥ See ya next week~!

Basically, we did the remaining of Lesson 32 of the textbook~ Then after 9:30pm, we finally moved on to Lesson 33!! It's the kind of CASUAL FORM you'd hear in anime!! Hohoho~~
It sounds rough of course, girls in Japan don't usually use this form, only boys and rough girls [like me] use them, haha~ This form is used for "ordering" people around, called Imperative form. For example, when the boss orders you to do something, or when someone is angry with you, etc. Be very careful when using these because Japanese are very very particular about manners and status [even if you're only one year younger than the person, you have to be polite].
Positive form
Group ①
Change from the う line to the え line
書く ⇒ 書け ＝ Write!
帰る ⇒ 帰れ ＝ Go back!
言う ⇒ 言え ＝ Say!
読む ⇒ 読め ＝ Read!
Group ②
Change from る to ろ
食べる ⇒ 食べろ ＝ Eat!
見る ⇒ 見ろ ＝ Look!
考える ⇒ 考えろ ＝ Think!
止める ⇒ 止めろ ＝ Stop!
Group ③
する ⇒ しろ ＝ Do!
くる ⇒ こい ＝ Come!
Negative form
Group ①②③
Just add a な to the dictionary form
書く ⇒ 書くな ＝ Don't write!
食べる ⇒ 食べるな ＝ Don't eat!
する ⇒ するな ＝ Don't do!
くる ⇒ くるな ＝ Don't come!
There are usually 4 situations where you use this form:
Ⅰ When the father scolds his children
Ⅱ When boys are talking to each other [they usually add よ at the end to make the tone softer, coz you don't order your friends around, do you?!]
Ⅲ When cheering your sports team on, etc
Ⅳ When emergency occurs
Instead of ください use くれ
The more shortcut and casual way of saying please is to replace ください with くれ. Again, girls shouldn't be heard saying this, but then again, who cares in the context of the here and now? XD Boys and girls are the same!!!!!!!!! XD
Polite ⇒ Casual ⇒ Commonly used for both genders
ちょっと待ってください ⇒ ちょっと待ってくれ ⇒ ちょっと待って
助けてください ⇒ 助けてくれ ⇒ 助けて
So yeah, so many forms, but girls cannot use?! Then how do girls order people about? Don't worry, girls use the following!
書きます ⇒ 書きなさい ＝ Please write!
食べます ⇒ 食べなさい ＝ Please eat!
勉強します ⇒ 勉強しなさい ＝ Please study!
来ます ⇒ 来なさい ＝ Please come!
As you can see, just add なさい to the word stem and you're good to go and scold your naughty child. LOL.. On the other hand, to tell them NOT to do stuff, it's:
書きます ⇒ 書きなさるな ＝ Please don't write!
食べます ⇒ 食べなさるな ＝ Please don't eat!
勉強します ⇒ 勉強しなさるな ＝ Please don't study!
きます ⇒ きなさるな ＝ Please don't come!
今日はここまでです！役に立ちますか。XD じゃ、また来週ね！^_~
おやすみなさい～！
