The Japanese grammar which we are going to study in this lesson is very important for the JLPT exam. Even if they are not used very frequently but having knowledge about it and having information about its use and meaning is very essential. You need to read these sentence patterns at least twice at the very first time to understand their use and meaning properly. Let’s start with reading these grammar patterns one after the other.
1. “~Ni shiro/ ~ni seyo/ ~ni mo seyo/ ~ni shite mo” is first sentence pattern of this lesson which we are going to study. This sentence pattern basically has two different uses and meanings. Let’s study them separately by reading the explanation which has been given below.
A) The first use of this sentence pattern is “however, but”. In both the uses before the phrase a noun, i-adjective, na-adjective or a verb can be used. Let’s read some examples which have been given below to understand the meaning of this use more clearly.
) The meaning of the second use is “whether…but”. This use and meaning is simpler and easier than the first use. In this use the phrase of the sentence pattern which is used comes twice in the sentence construction. Read the following examples to understand this sentence construction.

2. The next sentence pattern which we are going to learn now is “~hanmen”. One important thing to remember is that “hanmen” is written in two different ways by using different kanjis. These two different kanjis are
3. When we are talking about something which is almost impossible to do or happen at that time to show this situation the sentence pattern “~mononara” is used. In other words this sentence pattern shows a situation where there is a very low percentage of something to happen or do. The possibility is very less. In this sentence pattern the root verb or in other words the dictionary form of the verb comes before the phrase. The examples related to this sentence pattern will help you understand this better.
4. The sentence pattern “~mono no” has the same meaning as the sentence pattern “~noni” which we have learnt in the previous level of Japanese grammar. “~mono mo” simply means “inspite of” or “even if”. This sentence pattern basically expresses situations where things are not happening in the way you have thought they will take place. In this sentence pattern either a verb or a na-adjective or an i-adjective is used before the phrase. Following are some examples related to this sentence pattern.
5. The next sentence pattern which we are going to study is used to talk about two opposite things. The sentence pattern which is used is “~warini/ ~warini wa”. Before the phrase either of the elements of Japanese grammar which are noun, i-adjective, verb or na-adjective is used. Let’s read the following examples to understand the use and meaning of this sentence pattern properly.
6. The sentence pattern which we are going to study now is “~you dewa nai ka/ ~u dewa nai ka/ ~you jyanai ka/ ~u jyanai ka”. In this sentence pattern before “dewa nai ka” or “jya nai ka” always the volitional form of the verb is used. The meaning of this sentence pattern is very simple which is “let’s do”. In other words it conveys the meaning “shimashou” or “shimasenn ka” in Japanese. Some sentences related to this grammar pattern are provided below as examples.
7. “~Uru/ ~enai” has the same use and in fact comes under the same sentence pattern. “Uru” and “enai” are written as
8. When there is a possibility of something to result in a bad happening or in a negative result at that time the sentence pattern “~kane nai” is used in Japanese grammar. Before “kane nai” always the stem form or in other words the masu base form of the verb is used. Let’s read the examples which are given below related to this sentence pattern.
9. This next sentence pattern which we will see now is “~kotoda”. This sentence pattern is used when you are warning someone or are telling someone to be cautious about something. In other words you advice someone to do something in a particular way. In this sentence pattern before “kotoda” either the dictionary form of verb or the “nai” form of the verb is used. Read the following examples which are based on this sentence pattern.
The above sentence pattern was the last to be learnt in this lesson. So in other words we have the study of sentence patterns of this lesson. Do make your own sentences and practice these sentence patterns. In addition while reading them concentrate on your reading completely. |
