Lisa yori than Lisa and ichibanthe most so that the sentences can be understood as comparisons or superlatives. ComparativesTo make the simplest comparative sentence, just add a phrase with yori than.
When asking a question comparing two items, list two items using the particle to,and use the interrogative word dochira, dochira no h, or dotchi which one to form aquestion. See dochira and h. A typical answer includes h, which clarifies the factthat you are answering the question that compares two items. Takahashi san wa Yamada san yori yasashii desu. Takahashi is kinder than Mr.
Ringo to banana to dochira no h ga suki desu ka. Which one do you like better, apples and bananas? Banana no h ga suki desu. I like bananas better. Tanaka kun to Yamada kun to dochira no h ga yoku benky shimasu ka. Yamada, which one studies harder? Kono h ga aore yori watashi ni wa ii desu. This is better than that for me. Ano gmuki no h ga atarashii taipu desu. That game machine is a newer type. SuperlativesThe superlative is made by adding mottomo or its informal equivalent, ichiban, before thepredicate.
See mottomo and ichiban. De, no uchi de, or no naka de can be used tospecify the group or the list based on which the comparison is made. Interrogative words such as doko and dare can always be used. However, if the items arenot people or locations, dore is required when the items are listed, but nani is used whenthe group is specified. Nihon de mottomo takai yama wa Fuji san desu.
The highest mountain in Japan is Mt. Tar san ga san nin no uchi de ichiban ikemen desu. Taro is the cutest of the three. Kono apto no naka de dore ga ichiban ii to omoimasu ka. Which do you think is the best of these apartments? Kurasu de dare ga ichiban se ga takai desu ka. Who is the tallest in the class? Tabemono de wa nani ga ichiban suki desu ka.

Katakana wa hiragana to onaji kurai oboeru no ga muzukashii. Katakana are as difficult as hiragana to learn. Watashi wa kare hodo kashikoku ari masen. I am not as clever as he.

ToTo can follow verbs, adjectives, and the linking verb in the dictionary form, in the nai-form, or in the polite non-past form -masu, -masen, and desu and creates a conditionalclause to express some situation where one event is always followed by another event generic condition.
In this case, the main clause must express something that alwayshappens, and may not express the speakers volitional action, requests, suggestions,permissions, commands, or desires. See to for additional examples. San ni go o tasu to hachi ni narimasu.
If we add 3 and 5, we get 8. Nemui to hon ga yomemasen.

If Im sleepy, I cannot read a book. Sumisu san ga kuru to Tanaka san wa itsumo inaku narimasu. TaraThe tara-form of verbs, adjectives, and the linking verb can be created just by adding raafter their ta-form. See Tara-form under Verbs. However,unlike the case of to, conditional clauses with tara allow their main clause to express notonly automatic consequences but also the speakers intentions, desires, requests,suggestions, invitations, permissions, commands, or conjectures.
Accordingly, tara-conditionals are more versatile than to-clauses. Sumisu san ga ki tara Tanaka san wa itsumo inaku narimasu. Sumisu san ga ki tara kaerimash. Smith comes, lets leave. Buji kk ni tsui tara denwa o kudasai. When you have safely arrived at the airport, call me. Ie ni kaet tara mru o kudasai. When you have arrived home, send me an e-mail. Katteni kore o mitara ikemasen. If you see this without permission, its no good. You must not see this without permission. Kyto ni it tara doko o miy ka. When we visit Kyoto, what spot shall we see?
Ie ni kaet tara yaky no shiai o mitai desu. When After I go home, I want to see the baseball game. BaThe ba-forms of verbs and adjectives are created by adding r eba and kereba to theirrespective roots. See Ba-form under Verbs and under Adjectives. The ba-form of thelinking verb da is nara ba.
Ba-conditionals allow their mainclause to be a command, a request, or a suggestion, just like tara-conditionals, but ba-conditionals have some restrictions that tara-conditionals do not have. When the mainclause expresses a command, a request, or a suggestion, the predicate in the ba-conditional clause must express a state rather than an action, as you can see in thecontrast between the following two sentences. If it is boring, lets leave. NaraNara can directly follow adjectival nouns with particles , but it also follows a clausefollowed by no or n. See nara for more details.
The conditional clause with naradefines the basis of the statement, meaning if. For example, the action expressed in themain clause can follow or precede the action expressed in the nara-clause, and thepredicates in the nara-clause can be in the past tense or in the non-past tense. For thisreason, nara-clauses cannot be used for expressing temporal condition, where a certaintime sequence between two actions is the main issue. The nara-clause is most convenientwhen you evaluate facts and make suggestions, plans, and speculations based on someassumptions or existing knowledge.
Kaimono nara Shibuya ga ii desh. If you are interested in shopping, Shibuya would be a good place. Anata ga ikanai nara kare wa kyanseru suru desh. If youre not going, I guess he will cancel it.

Desu is the politecounterpart of the linking verb da. Masu is the polite suffix used for verbs. In addition, youcan use a variety of prefixes, suffixes, lexical items, and constructions to be applied tonouns, adjectival nouns, adjectives, and verbs. The usage of honorific forms isconditioned by the notions of in-group and out-group. An in-group includes ones family,close friends, and those who work in the same company or institution. An out-groupincludes the others.
Depending on the function, honorific forms are categorized into fiveforms: The respectful form is used to elevate the stature of the person or the persons in-groupmembers insiders to whom or about whom the speaker is talking, or used to upgrade orvalue that persons belongings. The humble form is used to humbly or modestly expressthe speakers or the speakers in-group members actions or states. The courteous form isused to show the speakers courteous attitude toward his clients or customers in businesscontexts.
The polite form is usually used for any out-group members outsiders , but itspurpose is merely to make the expressions and utterances sound polite rather thanelevate the stature of the addressee. The beautifying form is used just as grace words. The prefixes o and goThe honorific prefixes o and go can be attached at the beginning of a noun to expressrespect to the person with whom the item is associated or to express humility of thespeaker with whom the item is associated. In some cases, o is used regardless of theitems association with a person e.
The basic rule isto use o before a native Japanese word and go before a Sino-Japanese word a word ofChinese origin , but there are numerous exceptions. Honorific suffixes san and samaProper nouns and common nouns associated with peoples positions and relationships canbe followed by suffixes such as san or sama to show respect or politeness to the person. These suffixes should never be used after the speakers name. The suffix san can beadded at the end of a proper name family name or given name , kin terms, orprofessional titles. It can also be used in set phrases, following nouns that expressconcepts.
The suffix sama is the more respectful and formal version of the suffix san.

Sensei wa ky wa koraremasen. Sorosoro o-shokuji ni saremasu ka. Shach wa ima heya ni o-raremasu ka. The verb suru can be replaced by itasu, which is the courteous version of suru. Ifyour action does not affect the other person at all, as in I clean my room, such aconstruction should not be used. Denwa o o-kari itashimasu. When using a suru-verb, put o or go before suru depending on the noun.
Tky o go-annai shimasu. Ill guide you around Tokyo. Im pleased to cooperate with you. Nasaru is a slightly irregular u-verb, and its modern masu-form is nasaimasu rather than nasarimasu. Note that when you reply to a question in thisconstruction, do not use a respectful form because it is improper for you to respectyourself. Will you make use of the Internet in your room? Shach ga ima go-tchaku nasaimashita. The president of the company has just arrived. Sorosoro o-shokuji ni nasaimasu ka. Will you be having a meal soon?
Shach ga ima go-tchaku ni narimashita. Did you call me? Ashita wa o-dekake ni narimasu ka. Are you going out tomorrow? Go-shujin wa ima o-rusu desu ka. Hai, rusu de gozaimasu. Is your husband away from home now? Sensei wa ashita made go-shutch desu. The teacher is away on business till tomorrow. Honorific verbsThere are some verbs that are used as respectful verbs, humble verbs, or courteousverbs. Note that both the courteous verb mairu and the humble verb ukagau can mean to comeand to go, but when the speaker speaks just courteously to the listener without showingthe respect to the person who is talked about, only the former can be used and the lattercannot be used.
In Japanese the speakers in-group members are usually not the targetof respectful verbs. Thus, mairimasu in the following sentence cannot be replaced byukagaimasu: Ima kara oji no tokoro ni mairimasu. Im now going to call at my uncles house. Also note that replacing te imasu with te orimasu makes the statement soundcourteous. Interestingly, interrogativescan also be used to create indefinite pronouns when combined with a particle such as ka,mo, and demo.
Nanji ni ikimasu ka. What time are you going there? Gakusei wa nannin imasu ka. How many students are there? Dono hito ga Tanaka san desu ka. Which person is Mr. Donna hito ga kimashita ka.

Kin wa dare mo kimasen deshita. No one came yesterday. Kono kaisha de wa daremo ga raibaru da.

ATM Ei-t-emu wa doko ni demo arimasu yo. ATMs can be found in anywhere. Sonna koto wa dare demo shitte imasu yo. Anyone knows such a thing. Dare datte motteru yo. However, da is not really a word, unlike these English words. Da cannotstand by itself, and must directly follow a word or phrase.
This is because da is historicallyderived from the combination of the particle de and the verb aru. Allforms in the table below have alternative forms that were created based on de aru: It is used to express the identity or the state including the location of people and things by following a noun, a noun plus a particle,or an adjectival noun.
Da is in the plain non-past affirmative form, and desu is its politecounterpart. Their other conjugated forms as well as those combined with other commonly usedgrammatical items are summarized in the following table. I n Tokyo prices are too high.
