Week 27 Part 27 ● Intro to Polite Form ● Pokémon Sentences ● Video Game Words This week's "Japanese is Possible!" will focus on words and sentences often found in video games. The video game we will concentrate on is Pokémon, since it is so popular these days. However, these words and phrases will be just as useful in other video games. Intro to Polite Form You'll notice that many of the verbs in the Pokemon sentences below (next section) often end in -masu. This is called the "Polite Form", and up till now JIP hasn't covered this form. It is used in formal and business situations. Most Anime characters don't use this form, unless they are a princess or a king. That's why JIP hasn't bothered with it up till now. The goal of this course is to help you understand more Japanese Anime and Video Games in as short a time as possible. Formal endings: [Present Tense] -masu Equivalent to: dictionary form. taberu becomes tabemasu korosu becomes koroshimasu shinu becomes shinimasu kakikomu becomes kakikomimasu [Past Tense] -mashita Equivalent to: -ta, -ita, -shita, -nda endings tabeta becomes tabemashita koroshita becomes koroshimashita shinda becomes shinimashita kakikonda becomes kakikomimashita There are other forms, but these two will be sufficient for now. You should now be able to understand the sentences in the next section that use the polite form. Pokémon Sentences These sentences are all taken from the Japanese version of Pokemon Yellow. If you learn Hiragana (doesn't take too much effort, especially compared to Kanji) you can get pretty far in the game. These sentences serve as good examples of actual Japanese sentences. To a Pokemon fan who wants to play Pokemon Gold or Silver, they serve as walkthrough to help them progress through the game! As is customary, words written in Katakana (the alphabet used for foreign words) are written in CAPS. All the names of Pokemon are written in Katakana, for instance.
