So today we are going to talk about nature again, but with two new words: 木 and 花. Luna: Oh, I think I've heard those. 木 is tree, and 花 is flower, right? Lucas: Exactly. 木 means tree, and 花 means flower. Let's practice them slowly. 木. Luna: 木. Lucas: Good. And 花. Luna: 花. Lucas: Perfect. Now, you know, if Fexingo has been helping you make progress with these words, we have a way you can support the show and keep it ad-free. It's buy me a coffee dot com slash fexingo. Any little bit helps us keep making episodes. Luna: Yeah, totally. And it really does make a difference. Okay, back to trees and flowers. So how do we use them in a sentence? Lucas: Right. Let's start with a simple one: これは花です. This is a flower. Luna: これは花です. Lucas: Yes. And あれは木です. That is a tree. Luna: あれは木です. So これ is this and あれ is that. Lucas: Exactly. Now let's add some adjectives we already know. 大きい木 means big tree. Luna: 大きい木. Big tree. Lucas: And きれいな花 means pretty flower. Luna: きれいな花. Oh, that's nice. So if I see a pretty flower, I could say きれいな花. Lucas: Exactly. Or これはきれいな花です. This is a pretty flower. Luna: これはきれいな花です. That sounds beautiful. Lucas: Let's do a quick scene. Imagine we are in a park. I point and say あれは大きい木です. Luna: あれは大きい木です. Oh, that's a big tree. And then I see flowers and say これはきれいな花です. Lucas: Perfect. So let's review all the phrases: 木, 花, 大きい木, きれいな花, これは花です, あれは木です. Luna: Okay. 木, 花, 大きい木, きれいな花, これは花です, あれは木です. Lucas: Excellent. Now try saying: That is a pretty flower. Luna: あれはきれいな花です. Lucas: Yes! You got it. And this is a big tree. Luna: これは大きい木です. Lucas: Wonderful. So next time you're out for a walk, you can practice noticing trees and flowers and saying the words in Japanese. Luna: I will. I'm going to point at every tree and flower and say 木 and 花. People might look at me funny though. Lucas: That's okay. You're learning. Alright, let's do one more quick practice. Repeat after me: 木. Luna: 木. Lucas: 花. Luna: 花. Lucas: 大きい木. Luna: 大きい木. Lucas: きれいな花. Luna: きれいな花. Lucas: これは花です. Luna: これは花です. Lucas: あれは木です. Luna: あれは木です. Lucas: And that's all for today.
