Thank you so much for joining the lesson on Mother's day. It's been a while - It was great to see you again! In today's lesson, we focused on learning how to ask questions with i‑adjectives and how to give positive and negative answers. The negative answer changes the i‑adjective to its negative form.
For example: ‘Not heavy’is omoku nai. In Japanese, i‑adjectives form the negative by replacing -i with -ku nai.
The question is: Sono kaban wa omoi desu ka? (Is the bag heavy?) The negative answer is: Iie, omoku nai desu. (It's not heavy. And the positive answer is: Karui desu. (It's light.)
Additional example: isogashii (busy) — a useful expression for you. Anata no shigoto wa isogashii desu ka? (Is your job busy?) The positive answer is: Hai, isogashii desu. (My job is busy.) If we add itsumo, we can say: Itsumo isogashii desu. (My job is always busy.
We also studied the word "muzukashii" (difficult). nihongo wa muzukashi ku nai desu. Japanese isn't difficult. (English is more difficult for me.)
Thank you for your hard work and your effort! Have a wonderful week. See you next time!

Thank you so much for joining the lesson. I truly appreciate it. It's been a while — it was great to see you again! In today's lesson, we started focusing on the verb list in Appendix 2 and made simple sentences using those verbs — present tense, past tense, and negative forms. You can also express yourself by using appropriate adjectives.
You shared so much again. I really enjoyed our conversation. I hope you had a good time too. Thank you for your hard work and your effort! Have a wonderful week See you next time!
