Week 1 Feb 18 2023 Pages 5-17 Chapter 1 Next week Week 2 Home Thread ルリドラゴン・ Ruri Dragon ▶ Last frame of of this week's part (page 17) We’re reading volume 1 of this manga as part of the Absolute Beginner Book Club . [015d8981-0c63-4bb7-bf2f-c7edd9a8fe30] Vocabulary Sheet …

Hello, I decided to participate even though i don’t feel like i am quite ready. I won’t be hyperfocusing too much on all the whys of grammar, i just want to learn enough vocabs to understand what’s happening and practice reading the kanji I know while familiarizing myself with new ones. I do find v…

Hello :wave: Thank you to everyone who has helped organize this! Reading is a big goal in learning and it would not feel approachable to start so early otherwise. I just finished my first pass through this week’s pages and added a couple items to the vocab spreadsheet, hopefully correctly. I really …

I kinda feel like if we were going to do a grammar sheet, it’d probably be simpler to write up a summary of the answers to questions people have had in this thread, rather than attempt to predict ahead of time what grammar points are going to trip people up.

That has also been attempted by our dear @ChristopherFritz . I’m sure it’s still easier than the grammar sheet, but compiling all of it into a single post/document is still a good bit of work for one person.

I’m confused over the verb 生える, “to grow”. I’m new to the concept of ‘continuous action’ verbs. In Japanese, certain verbs get described as being in a continuous state. So, rather than “the horns grew”, in jp the concept is “the horns grew (and continue to be grown)”. Is this correct? Following thi…

I’m not sure what you mean about continuous action … I think of growing as a continuous action in English too, but maybe that’s not what you meant. But hopefully I can clear up the other question. 生える = dictionary form of grow (also known as non-past) 生えてる = contraction of 生えている, meaning “is grow…

[image] TeaDrinker3000: if something is really that important, I’ll either come across it again, or I’ll just pick it up naturally through reading This right here is a great way to to about it, imo. Embracing some level of ambiguity until you see it enough that you understand it well. It’s wo…

This comment is now a wiki for the purposes of the compiled grammar Q&As in the thread.
