Japanese Language Lessons - 4 Verbs (Nomimasu, Tabemasu, Mimasu, Kikimasu) - Japanese Lesson 5 (p.1 of 2)

For lesson 5, we will be studying 4 verbs which you can usually use. These are:

Nomimasu - to drink

Tabemasu - to eat

Mimasu - to see/watch

Kikimasu - to hear/listen

Some of you might get confused just like me, in dictionary, you will find nomu, taberu, miru, and kiku. The masu form is the polite tense of these verbs.

Of course, these verbs like ikimasu (discussed on Lesson 4) have past, negative, and past negative form.

For negative form, just change masu to masen.

Those verbs would be:

Nomimasen

Tabemasen

Mimasen

Kikimasen

For past form, change masu to mashita, so those verbs would be:

Nomimasita

Tabemashita

Mimashita

Kikimashita

For the past negative form of the verb, change masu to masen deshita.

Nomimasen deshita

Tabemasen deshita

Mimasen deshita

Kikimasen deshita
