Yo dw, i gotchu:
~~
Chapter2 vocab quiz coming up tmr for my JP class. Wtf didn't we just have the Chapter1 quiz last time, o wait this is just on vocab, not the full full chapter2, just stuff like
Nationalities (country + じん (ie. ふらんす じん "furansu-jin" for France nationality)
Language (country + ご (ie. にほんご "nihon-go" for Japanese language)
Student years (number/year + ねんせい (ie. いち ねんせい, にねんせい, さんねんせい, よねんせい "ichi-nensei, ni-nensei, san-nensei, yo-nensei" for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th year student, there's also だいがくせい "daigakusei" for college student and だいがくいんせい "daigakuinsei" for college grad, and だいがく "daigaku" to refer to college/university
Time (ごぜん(am)/ごご(pm) + time + じ + はん(half past) (ie. 2:30am would be ごぜん にじはん "gozen ni-ji han" , literally "a.m. 2 'o clock half past"; note: in typical daily conversational practice, am/pm is usually omitted since it is obvious)
です (ah, the infamous 'desu', meaning 'to be', it's legit my favorite word to spam in class atm, just use it with literally everything, name-desu, nationality-desu, schoolyear-desu, major-desu, not enough desu to go around mang)
も - (Particle 'mo', meaning 'also' in terms of similarity, ie. someone introduces themselves as わたしは にねんせいです "watashi-wa ni-nensei desu / I am a second year", and you are also second year, you introduce yourself back わたしも にねんせいです "watashi-mo ni-nensei desu / I am also a second year")
の - (Particle 'no', meaning 'of' in terms of marking a noun / showing nouns' possession relations; noun1+の noun2 (ie. わたしの せんこう "watashi-no senkou / my major"; せんせいの ほん "sensei-no hon / teacher's book"
Anda buncha other basic phrases like なん nan for 'what', どこ doko for 'where', etc.....
