Grammar / Notes

  • 〜がすきです / きらいです Noun + means ‘like’ and noun + ‘dislike’. The thing liked takes , because and are na-adjectives, not verbs. (“Since I like fish, I asked the shop staff, ‘Which one is the fish dish?’”)
  • Sentence-final よ at the end of a sentence tells the listener something new or adds emphasis to what the speaker is saying. (“The shop staff said, ‘It’s this one.’”)
