I’m just gonna try to put write a sentence for practice y’all. Here goes nuthin… 今日は中国の食べ物を食べました。 I’m pretty sure I did it y’all. Feels good man.

Thanks! Just finished chapter 2 on both books and this came in handy for reviewing. Caught a couple of mistakes. So far, so good. Trying to set some time till the end of the week to do the exercises at the end of each book now.

I’m going to guess that you ate Chinese food today. いかがですかお美味しいですか. Genki uses romaji for that second question. It’s ooishii.

So, in this chapter we’re introduced to the following sentence format: これはだれのかばんですか Meaning, Whose bag is this? Would it be ok to say このかばんはだれのですか Is it equivalent to the phrase taught or complete nonsense and better to just stick with the first format?

[image] Chronus: Would it be ok to say このかばんはだれのですか Yup! Totally fine to say this.

Did anybody else think, “man, that must be a really nice pen!” Everybody wants to lay claim to it. I’m interested how that all got worked out. Otherwise a good chapter. Still reviewing what I had covered on my own previously, but am worried about keeping up when that is not the case.

Maybe its my imagination at play, but it sounds almost more…accusatory, to me.

To me it also sounds a little bit more “hard” than the other version…
