In this 2^nd week, the material what I learnt is to sophisticate and diversify our speech with new grammar structures.

·         And in the speaking part, we're going to talk about weather and nature. You will add a new verb to your vocabulary today, the verb, なるTo become. This verb means transition from one state or status to another state or status. So, it combines with nouns, and then, such nouns are used if the particle indicating an indirect object.

For the example:

あつくになります (atsukuninarimasu): for the polite speech

あつくなる (atsukunaru): for the casual style or non-formal

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

·       In this section, we know how to derive an adverb from an い (i) adjective. And we have already discussed that い adjectives are similar to verbs because when used as a predicate, they can have a past tense form. The past tense form is derived by attaching the suffix, かった (katta) To the adjective stem in formal written style, for instance:

 

すごい／です (sugoii): great

すごかった (sugokatta): was great

 

·         As you probably have understood by now, a lot of meanings in Japanese are expressed with suffixes and auxiliary parts of speech. So, for example, the suffix, そう (sou) It is attached to the い adjective stem, means a guess about an object's or person's quality based on their appearance. For example,　[おいしい/oishii(Tasty) and, おいしいそう/oishiisou (Looks tasty).
