Japanese Language and Culture NIHONGO

History of Japanese Language Many linguistic experts have found that there is no specific evidence linking Japanese to a single family of language. The most prominent theory says that it stems from the Altaic family(Korean, Mongolian, Tungusic, Turkish) The transition from old Japanese to Modern Japanese took place from about the 12 th century to the 16 th century.

Sentence Structure Japanese: Tanaka-san ga piza o tabemasu. (Subject) (Object) (Verb) 田中さんが ピザを 食べます 。 English: Mr. Tanaka eats a pizza. (Subject) (Verb) (Object)

Where is the subject? I go to Tokyo. Japanese translation: (私が)東京に行きます。 [Watashi ga] Toukyou ni ikimasu. (Lit. Going to Tokyo.) “I” or “We” are often omitted.

Hiragana, Katakana & Kanji Three types of characters are used in Japanese: Hiragana, Katakana & Kanji(Chinese characters). Mr. Tanaka goes to Canada: 田中さんはカナダに行 きます [kanji][hiragana][katakana ][hiragana][kanji] [hiragana]b

Two Speech Styles Distal-Style: Semi-Polite style, can be used to anyone other than family members/close friends. Direct-Style: Casual & blunt, can be used among family members and friends.

In-Group/Out-Group Semi-Polite Style for Out-Group/Strangers Direct-Style for Me/Us I/We

Polite Expressions Distal-Style: 1. Regular Speech 2. Honorific Speech 3. Humble Speech Ikimasu(he/I go) Irasshaimasu(he goes) Mairimasu(I/We go)

Siblings: Age Matters Older Brother & Older Sister Ani & Ane 兄 と 姉 Younger Brother & Younger Sister Otooto & Imooto 弟 と 妹

My Family/Your Family My father: chichi 父 My mother: haha 母 My older brother: ani 兄 My older sister: ane 姉 My younger brother: otooto 弟 My younger sister: imooto 妹 Your father: otoosan お父さん Your mother: okaasan お母さん Your older brother: oniisan お 兄さん Your older sister: oneesan お姉 さん Your younger brother: otootosan 弟さん Your younger sister: imootosan 妹さん

Boy Speech & Girl Speech blunt I/Me = watashi, boku, ore, washi I am going = Boku iku. 僕 行く。 Are you going? = Iku? 行 く? This is a book = Kore hon da. これ本だ。 polite I/Me = watashi, watakushi I am going = Watashi iku wa. Are you going? = Iku no? 行くの? This is a book = Kore hon yo. これ本よ。
