Example sentence:
1. 富士山 の 山頂 から 見れる ご来光 は とても 美しい
/fu-ji-san no san-chou kara mi-eru go-rai-kou wa totemo utsuku-shii/
Sunrise you can see from the top of Mt. Fuji is very beautiful.
Have you ever heard of Mt. Fuji?
Is it famous in your country?
In Japan it's so famous that all of us know it
because it's the highest mountain in Japan.
And also it looks very beautiful.
From the top of Mt. Fuji, you can see the sun rising
from cloud because the top is higher than cloud!
Like this:
This is so mysterious, isn't this?!
I really like the view.
So I can't help recommending it to you!
Why don't you visit there once?
And Mt. Fuji also has more mysterious forest
around it, called 青木ヶ原 /aokigahara/.
You may have heard of it.
It's known as "suicide forest".
I'll explain about it on my next site.
🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵
So I explain about the grammars used in the sentence!
👉富士山/fu-ji-san/
This means Mt. Fuji.
富士 is a name of the area and 山 means "mountain"
👉山頂/san-chou/
This means "top of the mountain"
山 means, you know, "mountain"
頂 means "top"
👉富士山の山頂/fu-ji-san no san-chou/
の means "of"
So 富士山の山頂 means "top of Mt. Fuji"
If you find の, read it from the back.
👉富士山の山頂から/fu-ji-san no san-chou kara/
から means "from"
So 富士山の山頂から means "from the top of Mt. Fuji"
👉見れる/mi-reru/
This is a unique form to Japan, called "possible
form"
That is possible form of 見る, which means to see.
So 見れる means "one can see"
🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵
~ How to make the possible form ~
It's not so confusing to make the form.
All of Japanese verbs must end with "u".
For example,
見る/mi-rU/
食べる/ta-berU/
話す/hana-sU/
読む/yo-mU/
書く/ka-kU/
歩く/aru-kU/
As you can see, they end with "u", right?
Then to make the possible form, you change "u" into
"eru". Just that! It's so simple!
So make the following verbs to be possible forms!
1. 見る
...to see
/mi-ru/
2. 食べる
...to eat
/ta-beru/
3. 話す
...to talk
/hana-su/
4. 読む
...to read
/yo-mu/
5. 書く
...to write
/ka-ku/
6. 歩く
...to walk
/aru-ku/
~ Answer ~
1. 見れる/mi-rERU/
2. 食べれる/ta-berERU/
3. 話せる/hana-sERU/
4. 読める/yo-mERU/
5. 書ける/ka-kERU/
6. 歩ける/aru-kERU/
🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵
So 見れる means "one can see"
👉ご来光/go-rai-kou/
This means "sunrise"
We don't usually use this phrase but use 日の出
/hi-no-de/.
ご来光 sounds very formal and divine, so we don't
usually use that, but the sunrise seen from the top
of Mt. Fuji looks so mysterious that it's natural to
call it ご来光.
ご is put at the head of word and make it polite.
来 means to come.
光 means "light"
So ご来光 means like "coming of light" and it means
"sunrise"
日 means "the sun"
の means "of"
出 means to appear.
So 日の出 means like "appearing of the sun" and it
means "sunrise", which we usually say.
👉とても美しい/totemo utsuku-shii/
とても means "very"
美しい means "beautiful"
🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵
That's all explanations!
Now you can translate the sentence!
富士山の山頂から見れるご来光はとても美しい this
means...
"Sunrise you can see from the top of Mt. Fuji is very beautiful"
So that's all today!
Thank you so much for reading!
