08.09.24 Daigoka: sasou to kotawaru
Chapter 5: to invite and to refuse
Wednesday lesson with IsonoSensei.

I showed up late to the class today. Apparently PRICK-san was reallied worried and leapt with joy when TangoMaster arrived ahead of me.

Here's the Grammar Points from Today's class:

GRAMMAR POINT 1:
Ways to invite, without actually coming right out and asking, only thinking aloud to yourself...

Grammar Point 1A
V(plain form)~n da kedo, isshoni dou kana to omotte...?

OR

Grammar Point 1B
N de mo (isshoni) dou desu ka?

Examples for 1A and 1B
J-Liigu no kippu ga ni mai aru n da kedo, isshoni dou kana to omotte...

Shokuji de mo isshoni dou desu ka?


GRAMMAR POINT 2: How to say SOMEONE ELSE wantS to do some VERB
When you want to say that someone else wants to do some Verb, you use the form:

V(-masu stem) + TAGARU (conjugate like normal RU Type II verb).

RECALL, when saying I want to do something, you use:
V(-masu stem) + TAI (conjugate like any i-adj).

Examples:
Kodomo-tachi mo Lee-san ni totemo aiTAGATTE IMASU.
Watashi wa Lee-san ni totemo aiTAI desu.

Page 75, Yomou no renshuu, Exercise 1, Verbal class responses, written here:
1) Watashi ha hotel ni tomariTAI kedo, Haha ha ryoukan ni tomariTAGATTE IRU n da.
2) Boku ha chuuka ryouri ni shiTAI kedo, Ogawa-san ha Washoku ryouri ni shiTAGATTE IRU n da.
3) Boku ha inaka ni sumiTAI kedo, tsuma ha tokai ni sumiTAGATTE IRU n da.
4) Boku ha pasukon wo kaiTAI kedo, tsuma ha reisouko wo kaiTAGATTE IRU n da.


English translations:
1) I want to stay at a hotel but, my mom is wanting to stay at a ryoukan.
2) I want to make Chinese food, but Ogawa-san is wanting to make Japanese food.
3) I want to live in the country but my wife is wanting to live in the city.
4) I want to buy a computer, but my wife is wanting to buy a refridgerator.

REVIEW OF NARA CONDITIONAL:

MOSHI V(dictionary/plain form) NARA ~~ ===> If V(plain form), then~~

NOTE for IF'ing Nouns, the form to use is:
N NARA ~~~ ===> IF ~something~ THEN ~~~
