Topic	okashiku natte ikimasu - what's that mean?
zebatov 04/29/20 7:35:19 PM #13:	AnnoyedCops posted... "~te iku/ikimasu" means go on ~ing, ~ from now on. It's not "going to" like future tense because Japanese has no specific future tense. You use "da yo" only after nouns in standard Japanese and "desu" after nouns or ii-adjectives I thought there was no present tense because technically there is no present with time. And I thought desu means is, or to be, different than iru/aru (to exist). Ie This is good. = Kore ha yoi desu. = As for this, good is. Where da yo would make it exciting. As for this, good is! --- C was right. <cite>zebatov posted [p:938330057] in okashiku n...
