Learning foreign basic language is interesting. Japan is said to be a country with less English speakers. If you want to learn more about Nihongo and wants to come here, I will be sharing again basic words for you.
” KORE “ , ” SORE “ and ” ARE “.
About” KORE “, when you have something or an object beside you, you say ” KORE WA (something/object) DESU “.
KORE means” this”. Let’s start with the word ” pen ” as an example of an object. Pen in Japanese pronunciation is the same” PEN”.
NIHONGO: KORE WA PEN DESU.
English: This is a pen.
Next word,” SORE “. You are not holding a pen, but the one beside you is holding it, this time, you will say ” SORE “.
NIHONGO : SORE WA PEN DESU .
English: That is a pen or You have a pen.
” ARE “ you and your conversation partner don’t have a pen. A pen is over there.
NIHONGO: ARE WA PEN DESU.
English: That is a pen or She/He has a pen.
You should consider the distance of an object when saying” KORE”,” SORE”,” ARE “.
