私の日本語の宿題

私はべんきょうするためにIt expresses a purpose rather than an action to do something, that’s why it’s better for me to use するために instead of しに. 私がらないかんにふりがなをきます。

こんにちは!みなさんだいじょうですか。

小さい漢字を読むことがむずかしいですから、フォントのサイズを17pxにセットしましたせっていしました is more natural and better for formal conversations, but why not use the power of japanglish when it is understandable and casual 😅

このブログにはじめて日本語で書いていますよ。日本語はまだ上手じょうずじゃないから、このテキストを書くのはI learned it is more natural to use 書くのは instead of 書くことが to stress the difficulty in writing in japanese, not the writing action itself.私にはむずかしいですが本当ほんとたのしいです。

日本語の先生せんせい宿題しゅくだいしました。主題しゅだい主題 means “subject, theme”.は『げんものがたり源氏物語 means The Story of Genji. 源氏 is Genji (Kanji’s of source and Mr/Mrs), and 物語 means story. 物 means thing, and 語 means word, speach (often used as 語り). は 何ですか?せつめい説明 means “explanation, description”.する。そのないようIt means “contents, content”.かんたんIt means “simple, easy, uncomplicated”.ようやくIt means “summary, digest”.します。』です。

それから、はじDo not confuse 始 with 初. Although they have some overlapping meanings, 始 means “start, begin” whereas 初 means “first, at first”.めましょう!下に書きます。


源氏物語の要約

源氏物語は1003ねんむらさきしきは書いた物語です。源氏物語はかいIn these kind of contexts, で must be used with かい.ばん古いしょうせつDon’t forget だ! Nouns get a だ in the end in the context of plain form.と言います。内容はひかるげんHikaru Genji, the main protagonist of The Tale of Genjiというおとこの人の物語です。光源氏はハンサムDon’t forget to use で to connect a な-adjective with another adjective. Also remember that い-adjectives drop their い and gets くて instead.さいIt means “talented”.な人です。かれこうていIt means “emperor”.むすIt means “son”.です。物語では、源氏はきゅうていIt means “royal court”.こいThe verb for “to fall in love”.したりたり~たり formせいIt means “politics”.かかわっ関わる means “to be involved (in)”たりします。源氏はそうてきそうてき means “ideal”.な愛をもともとめる means “to want, to request, to seek (as in this context)“.ながら~ながら means “while, during”. You can form a verb with ながら by taking its ます form, dropping the ます and replacing it with ながら.ぶんしんThere is a little nuance there. ぶん and しん both mean “oneself”. 自分 itself is casual, 自身 is formal, and 自分自身 has the strongest emphasis among them.にもしゅうIt means “surroundings”. In this context, 周囲の人々 means “people around (him)”人々ひとびと人 means “person”, 人々 means “people”. The kanji 々 (kurikaeshi) makes the kanji before itself read twice, often with the second part getting a dakuten at the first syllable. It usually adds a meaning of the thing being more than one.にもくるしみIt means “pain, suffering”.あたえます与える means “to give (something non-material like damage, influence, pain), to provide, to assign, to cause, to pass”.。源氏の means “death”, means “after”. In this context, 源氏の死後 means “After the death of Genji”.、物語はかれそんIt means “descendant”.じんせいIt means “(one’s) life, human life”.つづきます続く means “to continue”.とくIt means “particularly”.まごIt means “grandchild”.の can be used as “of, the” as in “Kaoru the grandchild”かおるIt normally read as くん, and means “pleasent smell, aroma”, but in this context, it is the name of Kaoru Genji, the grandchild of Hikaru Genji.と彼がまれる巻き込む means “to caught up in”. It means “to be caught up in” when conjugated to ~られる form (Passive form).ふくざつIt means “complex”.れんあい恋 is love that is youthful, emotional, often unfulfilled. 愛 is love that is serious, lasting, broader than just romance. 恋愛 is a neutral term for love/romance as a concept.さんかくかんけい三角 means “triangle, triangular shape”, and 関係 means “relationship”. 三角関係 has a broader meaning, that’s why combining it with 恋愛 as 恋愛三角関係 emphasizes the romantic context of it being a “love triangle”. At least, that’s how I understand it so far 😅しょうてんてられます。焦点が当てられる roughly means “focus is placed on”. 焦点 means “focus, focal point”, and 当てる means “to hit, to apply, to direct (e.g. attention)”


難しかったがたくさんI learned that I can’t modify a noun with a quantity adverb without の particle.ことをならいました!とても楽しかった、でも今つかれていますよ😮‍💨。じゃあ、また。👋
