Step 3 - Writing Exercises (Optional)
Let's practice what you learned here.
If “ 何か言った？” is “did you say something”, what would “what did you say” be?
You can say 何て言った？
This phrasing indicates that you are aware the other person has spoken and want to know what they said.
何か言った? is used when you think you might have heard something, but you’re unsure whether the other person actually spoke.
Hi ! About the sentenceしてないと思おもいますけど…
Is … used in japan ? All japanese people i talked with said they didnt know what it was
It is used.
When you ask them a question, you should give them a context.
In the dialogue, the other person says 誰かの声しなかった？
The full sentence of the questioned sentence should be: いいえ、誰かの声はしてないと思いますけど。
※声がする – There’s a voice.
Ha sorry I think there is a misunderstanding? I am only talking about the three dots : …
Ah, of course. Sorry, I misunderstood.
But yes, we do use ‘…’. If you read novels or manga, you’ll find it everywhere.
