- Lucas: Hey Luna, welcome back to another episode of Learn Japanese with Fexingo. Luna: Thanks, Lucas. I'm excited because today we're doing a review, right? Lucas: That's right. We've learned so much about autumn fruits, and today we're going to refresh everything. Luna: Perfect. Because I feel like I've already forgotten some of the words. Lucas: Don't worry, we'll fix that. Let's start with the first fruit: 柿. Luna: 柿. That's persimmon, right? Lucas: Exactly. 柿 is a very autumn fruit in Japan. Say it once more: 柿. Luna: 柿. Lucas: Great. Next is ぶどう, which means grapes. Luna: ぶどう. Grapes. I love grapes. Lucas: And りんご, apples. りんご. Luna: りんご. Oh, apples are my favorite. Lucas: So we have 柿, ぶどう, and りんご. Now let's practice asking for them. Remember, at a market you might say 柿をください. Luna: 柿をください. Please give me persimmon. Lucas: Perfect. ください means please, when asking for something. Luna: So I could say ぶどうをください, right? Lucas: Exactly. And りんごをください. Luna: りんごをください. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. Lucas: And when you eat them, you might say 甘いです, which means it's sweet. Luna: 甘いです. Sweet. So if I eat a persimmon, 柿は甘いです. Lucas: Nice, you added は to make it a complete sentence. And おいしいです means it's delicious. Luna: おいしいです. Oh, I can say that about everything. Lucas: So let's combine them. At a festival, you might see fresh fruit and say 柿をください. Then after tasting, おいしいです. Luna: That's a nice little scene. I can picture it. Lucas: Now, before we go further, I want to mention something about Fexingo.

Let's do a quick practice. I'll say a phrase, and you respond. Luna: Sounds good. Lucas: If I say 何を食べますか, what do you answer? Luna: Uhh, 柿を食べます. Wait, is that right? Lucas: Perfect. You used the verb 食べます. So 柿を食べます means I eat persimmon. Luna: Great. So I can say ぶどうを食べます or りんごを食べます. Lucas: Exactly. Now, let's sing a little chant to help remember. 柿、ぶどう、りんご. Luna: 柿、ぶどう、りんご. That's catchy. Lucas: And another: 甘い、おいしい。甘い、おいしい. Sweet and delicious. Luna: 甘い、おいしい。甘い、おいしい. I love that. Lucas: So today we reviewed 柿, ぶどう, りんご, and phrases like 柿をください, 甘いです, おいしいです.
