Today is Monday, isn’t it!?H: Japanese people are good at short trips like this!(chokko(suru) = go directly to, head straight to)(〜ni yoru = stop off at)[00:52]As you noticed, the ending particle “no(の)” indicates a question. When you are curious about something you see, and you want to know about more, as you know, you can use the sentence structure of plain form + ndesuka. The casual version of this structure is “〜no?”.[01:11]Now we practice how to form this “no”. Don’t forget to put an rising intonation when we say this “no”.Repeat after me[01:23]1. go [masu form] go [jisho-form] Are you going? [jisho gotm + no]2. go back/return3. come4. do5. buy6. pack up/put away/bestow7. can8. carry, bring9. continue/go ahead/stay on10. know[03:57]Now, make a sentence as follows.For example,Are you still eating?→ Are you still eating?Ready?[04:07]1.
