If the Nordic 5 were your lawyers:
Sweden: Is there on time, but forgot all his papers.
Denmark: Your honor, my client slayed. Literally and metaphorically!
Norway: Uses his fairies to leave false evidence to convict someone else
Iceland: I am literally neurodivergent and a minor!
Finland: ACTUALLY KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING

understand, see, hear · particle が · particle と
(⁠。⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠✧ N5 grammar [ことのは lesson 18]
Tumblr media
わかる, みえる, きこえる
The particle を is generally used to indicate the direct object with transitive verbs, but with the verbs: 分かる (わかる -> to understand), 見える (みえる -> to see), 聞こえる (きこえる -> to hear) you have to use the particle が
example: スパイン語(ご)が分(わ)かりますか translation: do you understand Spanish?
particle が
we have seen the particle が being used to indicate the direct object of some verbs, but it can also express a relationship between two contrasting or opposing clauses.
example: 冬(ふゆ)ですが、 今日(きょう)は 暑(あつ)いです translation: it is winter, but it's hot today
particle と
✩ with (accompained by): this particle is used to indicate specify the person or animal with whom an action is being performed. person/animal と -> with person/animal
example: ケンくんとこの映画(えいが)を見(み)ました translation: I saw this movie with Ken
✩ exhaustive list nouns: this particle is used at the end of a list of two or more objects (inanimate or animate). Noun A + と + Noun B -> Noun A and Noun B
example: サラさんに 本(ほん)と辞書(じしょ)をあげました
translation: I have my book and dictionary to Sarah.

N5 Grammar Review: Vない
The ない form of the verb is used to mean "not" or "don't". I'm going to make some posts about grammar that uses this form soon, but first I thought it'd be good to go over how exactly we get the ない form.
To make the ない form:
Group 1: change the last 'u' in the dictionary form to 'a', then add ない:
書く(かく)→ 書かない [to write -> not write]
話す(はなす)→ 話さない [to speak -> not speak]
立つ(たつ)→ 立たない [to stand -> not stand]
遊ぶ(あそぶ)→ 遊ばない [to play -> not play]
読む(よむ)→ 読まない [to read -> not read]
知る(しる)→ 知らない [to know -> not know]
Be careful! If the verb ends in う, it becomes わ:
歌う(うたう)→ 歌わない [to sing -> not sing]
買う(かう)→ 買わない [to buy -> not buy]
Group 2: add ない to the stem:
食べる(たべる)→ 食べない [to eat -> not eat]
寝る(ねる)→ 寝ない [to sleep -> not sleep]
見る(みる)→ 見ない [to see -> not see]
教える(おしえる)→ 教えない [to teach -> not teach]
Group 3 of course is a bit different:
する → しない [to do -> not do]
来る(くる)→ こない [to come -> not come]
The ない form is used in casual speech to mean "don't/doesn't do":
Particles in brackets because you can drop them in casual speech.
魚(は)食べない さかな(は)たべない = I don't eat fish
父(は)雑誌(を)読まない ちち(は)ざっし(を)よまない = My dad doesn't read magazines
コーヒー(を)全然飲まない コーヒー(を)ぜんぜん のまない = I don't drink coffee at all
Other than that, the ない form is used a lot as a base for more complex grammar. It's important to get to grips with it early on.
I'm still a beginner myself (I'm only N4 level!) so please let me know if I've made any mistakes!

(女 as it appeared in Oracle bone script ~1250-1000 BC. the box shape is meant to represent breasts. This kanji eventually branched off into two directions, one simplified a single breast to represent women 女, the other taking the whole chest and adding nipples to represent mothers 母)

questions · positive and negative replies
(⁠。⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠✧ N5 grammar
Tumblr media
indicating a question with "か"
Questions in Japanese are easily expressed with the particle "か" and it is used the same way as the English question mark. A phrase ending with this particle is the Japanese equivalent to a question in English. In Japanese, there's no need to rearrange the sentence structure, simply add the question particle.
example: あなたは日本人です (you are japanese) will become → あなたは日本人ですか (are you japanese?)
note 1: in formal documents or written japanese, there should be a period (。) at the end of a question; in everyday Japanese, both periods and question marks work.
note 2: when asking a question the particle should be said with a rising tone.
affirmative replies with "そうです"
"そうです" is a compound phrase and means "right" or "that is so". It is usually used after "はい" (yes) and can also soften the tone when giving a positive answer.
example: はい、そうです。
translation: yes, that is so.
note: Japanese people tend to add another phrase following "そうです", expressing further confirmation
negative replies with "違います"
When denying something or telling someone something is not true, the compound phrase "違います" (ちがいます) is used. It is often used after "いいえ" (no).
example: いいえ、違います。
translation: no, that's not so.
note: 違います can be followed by other sentences clarifying the negation, similarly to そうです
