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. (“Because I like coffee, I have coffee in my bag.”)
  • 〜ています (in progress) attaches to the て-form and describes an action that is going on right now, like the English ‘-ing’ form. (“Today, I am studying Japanese at the library.”)
