Step 3 - Writing Exercises (Optional)
Let's practice what you learned here.
åīŧåãåēãããæãĢäšããã
åē(ã§)ããã to go out; to leave
ãŧãŧãŧãŧãŧãŧãŧãŧãŧãŧãŧãŧ
what is the difference between åēããã and åēã?
can i use åēã in this sentence instead of åēããã?
åēãããis to go out to a destination with a purpose.
åēã has several meanings, but the most general idea is moving out of a certain range.
Hope it helps!
How exactly does “ãįļããã ããããĒã” translate to “Dad’s so lucky?”
ãããĒã expresses the feeling of jealousy or envious.
He’s saying “Oh, Dad is the only one who can have that bike. I’m so jealous!”
Aaah, I see. Thank you!
No problem! đ
ã¯ãããįļ(ã¨ã)ãã帰(ãã)ãŖãĻããĒãããĒ
Why are we using 帰ãŖãĻããĒã here? Wouldn’t that be saying “I hope Dad doesn’t come home soon”?
No, that’s how you express your wishes:
é¨ããžãĒãããĒããããI hope it will stop raining.
I see. I had not come across this grammar before, thanks Yuta!
Glad I could help!
