By admin on July 28, 2010, 4:17 pm
Japanese lessons with Eva. ???=???=dekiru dekimasu=can, most formal, but common dekiru=can, most conversational dekimasuka=can?, most formal, but common dekiruka=can?, very casual, common dekimasen=cannot, most formal, but common dekinai=cannot, most conversational dekin=can’t, kind of rough, but again, very common endings ——— na=stressor and asking for confirmation ne=right? asking for confirmation node=a quantifier that gives you the feeling the conversation can be continues ka=question Nihonogo ga dekimasen.=I can’t Japanese. Eigo ga dekiru.=I can English. Change the intonation into a question sound by raising your voice on the end and the same “Eigo ga dekiru?” becomes “Can you speak English?”

@Gimmeabreakman i get it now, i misheard you of course you will be correct thank you for correcting (i live in germany and im used to british english, small differences in pronounciation, but its obvious).
i wash my ears next time : )
@Serkant75
What I wrote and said is correct.
dekimasu=can, most formal, but common
dekiru=can, most conversational
dekimasuka=can?, most formal, but common
dekiruka=can?, very casual, common
dekimasen=cannot, most formal, but common
dekinai=cannot(?), most conversational
The questions marks indicate that the word can be used as a question.
Hope that helps. (I rewatched the video. It’s right.I can’t find me saying what you wrote. Sorry!)
Hi Victor, excuse my question pls you said
“Nihonga dekimasu” means “i cant japanese? or i can ?
because you wrote in the description that dekimasu means can.

I saw you in the Naked Festival, your Japanese is really good. You should try to incorporate that style of talking for your Japanese Lessons.
