Grammar / Notes

  • 〜が (but) between two clauses means ‘but’ and joins two contrasting ideas into one sentence. The first clause usually ends in the polite form. (“The weather was good, but the sea water was very cold.”)
  • Sentence-final ね at the end of a sentence seeks agreement or shares a feeling with the listener, like ‘isn’t it?’ or ‘right?’. (“My older brother said, ‘Cold water feels good too, doesn’t it.’”)
