Kosoado Pronouns こそあど言葉

こんにちは皆さん！私はサクラです。For today’s post, we will be talking about the demonstrative and interrogative pronouns in the Japanese Language . Both English and Japanese have terms used to describe something to someone else such as “this” and “that.” For this post, I will be listing the most common demonstrative and interrogative pronouns.

これ、それ、あれ

These terms describe an object without saying what exactly it is. If you talk about something close to you, you would say これ (kore)、which means “this.” If you are referring to something that is some ways away from you and likely close to the listener, it would be それ (sore), or “that.” And if you are talking about something far from you and the speaker, you would say あれ (are) or “that over there.”

この、その、あの

This is similar to これ、それ、and あれ、however it states what the object is. For example, if you said “this book,” you would say このほん (kono hon). Just make sure that you give the correct term for the object. You do not want to say “That bicycle over there,” when you meant the one close to your friend.

ここ、そこ、あそこ

For these terms, you would use them to describe a place rather than an object. If you said “here,” it would be ここ (koko). “There” would be そこ (soko) in Japanese, and “over there” would be あそこ (asoko)。

どれ、どの、どこ

These terms are a little different from the ones mentioned earlier. They ask about the object in question. どれ (dore) means “Which thing.” どの (dono) is similar to the last statement, but it is inquiring about which specific thing. And of course, どこ (doko) is “Where.”

There are more pronouns to describe other things. Some of them even mean the same thing but are of different formality. For example, こいつ (koitsu) and こちら (kochira) can mean “this person,” but the latter is used in a casual setting whereas the former is the opposite.When speaking Japanese, one should try to memorize all the pronouns, but these terms are the ones you must especially memorize.

Here’s a list for a quick review.

これ (kore)-This

それ (sore)-That

あれ (are)-That over there

この (kono)-This＿＿＿

その (sono)-That＿＿＿

あの (ano)-That＿＿＿＿ over there

ここ (koko)-Here

そこ (soko)-There

あそこ (asoko)-Over There

どれ (dore)-Which

どの (dono)-Which＿＿＿＿

どこ (doko)-Where

That’s it for today’s lesson! これが終わります！ありがとうございました！

Hey! I'm sorry, I don't know if you still answer questions about kanji, but there's this one kanji I find confusing. Do you know how come 羅, which means bird net in Chinese, came to mean in Japanese "thin silk" or "Latin"... and is used in words such as compass (?) Asura/carnage (??) and tempura (???). The dictionary I use says it has the "to arrange" meaning as well. Honestly it looks like it's used whenever a random "ra" is needed haha

You’ve actually got it with the random “ra” idea!

The “thin silk” thing came from the “bird net” meaning--both are a very light woven piece of fabric (the weaving might also be where the “arrange” definition is from?) It shows up in a couple words. The main one I can think of is:

一張羅（いっちょうら） one’s best outfit

But mostly...yeah, it’s used when you need a ra. Katakana weren’t always the main way people wrote foreign words, and some use kanji. It’s most common in words that came from Portuguese or from Sanskrit as Buddhist terms, with a few other oddballs thrown in.

修羅 asura/carnage (that’s one from Sansrit)

羅 abbreviation for Latin （from the ら in らてん）

天婦羅 or 天麩羅 Tempura (apparently a Portuguese fusion dish originally!)

There’s kind of a group of kanji that are likely to get used for this phonetic stuff:

阿 for あ

利 for り

加 for か

須 for す

etc.

But I don’t know of any, like, lists of them anywhere.

明日、レベル２始めます！

みんな、こんばんは！

今朝は図書館に新しい本を 借り に行きました。先週、図書館のウエブサイトで少し本を保留しました。あとで、帰って、朝ご飯を食べて、漢字を復習しました。明日、WaniKaniにレベル2を始めます！( •̀ᄇ• ́)ﻭ✧

昨日の夜にイギリスのレシピを作りました。何を作りましたか。クラシックスコーンです！とても美味しくて、安く作るのです！このレシピはステキな料理書に見つけました。

見て、見て！美味しそうですね！(*´▽｀*)

スコーンのレシピは：

イチゴジャムとクロテッドクリームと少しバターでスコーンを食べました。  

クロテッドクリームを手作りです。本当に！インスタントポットを使いました。方法はとても優しいです！びっくりしました！このレシピに生クリームは「ultra-pasteurized」じゃないです。それは一番のポイント！「pasteurized」はオッケーですよ～

ポットの中で、クロテッドクリームは一番上の層です。少し黄色いで、美味な味があります。甘くて、味は牛乳みたいです。みんな、 クロテッドクリームを食べたことありますか。

(みんな、言葉はカットに下のです!)

your japanese textbook lied to you, people rarely use ときどき (tokidoki / sometimes) in real life. It's more common to use たまに (tama ni / occasionally) instead.
