Okay I'm back to the learning section, got bored...so yeah haha.
WHO WANTS TO LEARN SOMETHING HARDER!? the basics pfft...let's see if you can memorise this.
Nihonjin wa shinsetsu na hitobito da to iimasu.
It is said that Japanese are polite people.
okay...that wasn't hard...meh okay here's some more basics...
Kore - this
Sore - that
Are - that one over there
Dore - which
okay using these...these words in japanese are always followed up by the ending "wa", in case of interrogative demonstrative use ga. It depends on the distance of the item/object from the person/speaker.
kore wa terebi desu ka?
Is this a TV?
desu ka as you know, is a form of a "question mark" sort of ending, when ending with "ka" e.g masu ka, it usually turns the sentence into a question. So following this up..
desu - Is
ka - question
Kore wa - This
Terebi - TV
another e.g
Sore wa terebi desu ka?
Is that a TV?
now as it says, SORE means THAT.
Kore - speaker uses
Sore - listener uses
Are - used by both speaker & listener
Dore - " "
Kore wa kawaii desu.

Sore wa totemo kawaii desu.
That is very cute.
Are wa zutto kawaii desu.
