Japanese Writing Exercise Describing Objects
Instructions:
Describe the objects you learned about in this lesson. Use both positive and negative characteristics to explain what they are like. Ex. There are five buildings. Two buildings are green. Three buildings are not green. They are black.
sono inu wa ga suki desu.
normally when you say you like something, you say
"... GA suki desu."
" ...WA suki desu" is used to make a contrast.
for example
"... wa suki dewa arimasen. demo ... WA suki desu."
(I don't like ..., but I do like ...)
Yasai no inu
I guess you meant yasei no inu which means wild dog. yasai means vegetable :)
Hello panda san :-)
Thx for the explanation on the use of ga. particles in Japanese is still a mystery for me. But it starts clearing-up with your help.
Regarding the dog: I mean a vegetable-eating dog (just kidding)
What I really wanted to say is skinny dog (from yasette I thought) How would you say that there were 3 skinny dogs?
Thx for your help.

PS. I leave for Japan on Monday, so if you need something from your home country that is not too heavy or big, please let me know.
