bump. not much progress since i have been just doing lessons on duolingo.

but i have been getting quite used to them, especially some of the simpler sentences.

and people weren't really kidding about how absurdly simple japanese grammar is, yet also absurdly complex because of the many forms it can take shape to say a single thing.

like if you translate stuff literally in english

"gohan wo taberu masu"

this rice, i am going to do something with it. eat.

"nihon wa kirei desu"

i am going to talk about japan. beautiful.

these structure is pretty much the basic of japanese sentences. if i got it right, japanese don't really have subjects or objects stuff in an english sense (and indonesian) it is just noun, then the particle, then the adjective, or verb then you just dechiper the meaning by the context, either situation, formality, and the people involved in the conversation.

what made me confused at the beginning is why subject often "skipped" in a sentence. because you know it by knowing the context.

like this example:





the last sentence, without context, you might be thinking it's weird because the person state themself as tasty, but they are talking about pizza because the context was previously established during the beginning of the conversation.

fun !
