Grammar / Notes

  • 〜がほしいです (want a thing) Noun + says that the speaker wants a thing. The thing wanted takes , not . (“I want eggs for the sukiyaki.”)
  • 〜と言いいます (say that) reports what someone says, and marks the reported content. An indirectly reported clause normally takes the plain form. A direct quotation in keeps the speaker’s original wording. (“I said to my younger brother, ‘Buy some eggs.’”)
