Thanks, I noticed that I made a mistake while copying it, I wrote a ち instead of a ら :woman_facepalming:t3: Changed it in my post to avoid confusion for anyone else. Thanks for explaining the double て form, it makes a lot more sense now that I know they’re both used for different reasons!

Page 55 This page was a bit easier. Lots of repeat vocab, no serious grammar. I have only one question: もんです (second sentence) – Can’t tell if it’s も + んです (emphatic sentence ending) or もん + です. 小さなあくまは、ひょいと手をのぼしてパンをさらうと、あくまのすみかにとんで帰りました。「いっひっひ！どんなもんです。ぼんやりきこりのおべんとうを、いただいてきち…

Page 57 おわびのしるしに、きこりのためにはたらいてこい。 ▶ Grammar 何かやくに立つことを、やってこい。それまでは帰ってくるな！」 ▶ Grammar 小さなあくまはしょんぼりと、またきこりのところへ行きました。「きこりさん。ごめんなさい。ぼくは、あなたのだいじなパンをぬすみました。ほんとにごめんなさい。おわびに、何かさせてください。」きこりは、わらって言いました。

Page 57 was easier than the other ones, I almost understood everything (after reading the page at least twice!). Thanks for translating each page every day!

Heh, I don’t always know what I’m doing! Hopefully a more advanced Japanese student will swing by at some point and help us out with the weird things :grin: Page 58 This was definitely harder. There’s some bits I’m not sure of in the ‘Grammar’ foldouts. 「パンをかえしてくれれば、それでけっこう早くお帰り。」 ▶ Gramma…

nienque: くれれば Provisional of くれる, to do someone a favour, I think…? I agree with you. てくれる is for doing a favor, in the -ば form to express the conditional. Learn JLPT N4 Grammar: てくれる (te kureru) – Japanesetest4you.com Practice makes perfect! Improve your Japanese significant…

Haha, I got very excited when I saw in your links that it’s N4 grammar! I might be dawdling with regards to Genki 2, but at least I’m still getting somewhere :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: Page 59 Kind of confused here. 地主 means landowner, だんな means ‘master’, so 地主のだんな seems a bit over the top. Isn…

「なん」is like the 「のです」that you had encountered earlier. It sort of adds a point of emphasis and it is used for explanation. In this case it is indeed だ＋が, so it goes like だんなの土地なんだが (it is the master’s land but, were the master to permit it, would you be able to… etc). Nouns and な adjectives take な…

It makes complete sense, thanks a lot! Good to have the mystery solved :grin: If it’s not too much effort, there are some more questions in the ‘Grammar’ foldouts in my earlier posts. I’d love it if you could have a look.

No worries at all! Are there some specific ones or would it be better to go through them all?

I agree with you. てくれる is for doing a favor, in the -ば form to express the conditional.
