- Lucas: Luna, welcome back. Ready to talk about movies? Luna: Oh, I love movies! But I'm not sure I know all the Japanese words for it. Lucas: That's okay. We'll start small. First, the word for 'movie' is 映画. Luna: 映画. 映画. That sounds nice. So if I want to say 'I watch a movie', how do I say it? Lucas: You say 映画を見ます. 映画 means movie, を is the particle, and 見ます means watch. Luna: 映画を見ます. Right. I've seen 見ます before from the past tense episode. Lucas: Exactly. And if you want to say you like movies, you say 映画が好きです. Luna: 映画が好きです. That's like 'I like movies'. Lucas: You've got it. Now, how do you ask someone what kind of movies they like? You say どんな映画が好きですか. Luna: どんな映画が好きですか. That's a long one. Let me try: どんな映画が好きですか. Lucas: Perfect. So if someone asks you that, you might answer with a genre. Like アクション映画 for action movies, or コメディ映画 for comedy. Luna: アクション映画 and コメディ映画. I think I like コメディ映画 best. Lucas: Good choices. Let's do a little practice. Imagine you're at a party and someone asks you どんな映画が好きですか. Luna: Hmm. I'd say コメディ映画が好きです. Or maybe アクション映画も好きです. Lucas: That works. And if they ask you what you do on weekends, you could say 映画を見ます. Luna: 映画を見ます. So I can say 'On Saturday, I watch a movie'? How do I say Saturday? Lucas: 土曜日. So 'On Saturday I watch a movie' is 土曜日に映画を見ます. Luna: 土曜日に映画を見ます. That's a full sentence. I like it. Lucas: And you can say 日曜日も映画を見ます if you also watch on Sunday. Luna: 日曜日も映画を見ます. Oh, so you can chain days. Lucas: Yeah. And let's not forget, if someone asks 映画が好きですか, you can answer はい、映画が好きです. Luna: はい、映画が好きです. Simple. Lucas: Let's do a quick review. Repeat after me: 映画. Luna: 映画. Lucas: 映画を見ます. Luna: 映画を見ます. Lucas: 映画が好きです. Luna: 映画が好きです. Lucas: どんな映画が好きですか. Luna: どんな映画が好きですか. Lucas: アクション映画. Luna: アクション映画. Lucas: コメディ映画. Luna: コメディ映画. Lucas: Great. Now you can talk about movies in Japanese. Practice with a friend: ask them どんな映画が好きですか. Luna: I will. And if they say アクション映画が好きです, I'll know! Lucas: That's the spirit. Keep practicing, and we'll see you next time on Learn Japanese with Fexingo. Luna: Bye for now!
