Lesson 11 - なに が すき です か。
In Lesson 11, we’ll learn how express that we like and dislike things using すき, きらい,
だいすき, だいきらい. Let's take our new grammar and vocabulary for test drive. :)
すき means like, so to say we like something, we can use this sentence format: (what you like) が すき です。
すし が すき です。
I like sushi.
To talk about things we dislike, use きらい: (thing you dislike) が きらい です。
よしださん は ハンバーガー が きらい です。
Ms. Yoshida dislikes hamburgers.
We can use the prefex だい to indicate something is “great” or “big.” So to say you really like something use the prefix だい in front of すき to say you really like or love something.
コーヒー が だいすき です。
I love coffee.
きみこさん は にほんご が だいすき です。
Kimiko really likes Japanese.
We can do the same thing with きらい and talk about things we strongly dislike, or hate, using だいきらい:
しゅくだい が だいきらい です。
I strongly dislike homework.
かいもの が だいきらい です。
I hate shopping.
なに が すき です か。asks "What do you like?"
なに が きらい です か。asks "What do you dislike?"
End of Course Projects
At this point, everyone should have several parts done on the EOC Project.
This week you will learn how to complete slide 12 on your About Me portion of the project. I recommend doing this slide at some point this week.
It's important to make steady progress on this assignment as it is a large part of your grade and should not be left until the last minute. A good grade on the EOC project is crucial to success in Japanese 1. Keep working consistently on your project and you will do well!
The link to the End of Course Projects instructions is in blackboard on the left hand navigational toolbar under the End of Course Projects link.
がんばりましょう!
