[✐3-Moderato,4-Allegretto] ask for a reply, intention to confirm (excl. past tense)
“You don’t like sushi, right?”

[00 07]

Hello, everyone.

[00:09]

Let’s think about the situation. You are invited to a party on Saturday.  Well, you think it’s next Saturday, but not sure.  So, you’d like to confirm it’s really next Saturday, you’d ask “The party is next Saturday, right?” The nuance of this “right?” can be expressed by "〜dakke?".

[00:30]

In masu-form, ending particle ”yone”  is added to double check something.

[00:39]

In fact, in casual conversations, “〜dakke”  is used quite frequently.

Note: You know how to construct “ 〜n desu“. Now just add “dakke?” after “n”.

[00:46]

Anyway, let’s practice.

For example,

go? [masu form] > [〜n desu ka]

You go (you are going), right?

Ready?

[00:57]

1.  [masu form] > [〜n desu ka] → You buy (it), right?

2.  → You read (it), right?

3.  → You do (it), right?

4.  → You come, right?

5.  → There is, right?

Repeat after me

[01:45]

1.  You have a friend in Calfornia, right?

2.  I copy this, right?

3.  You don’t have time today, right?

4.  You don’t eat meat, right?

5.  You don’t drink alcohol, right?

6.  You don’t like Sushi, right?

[02:51]

Now, make a sentence as follows.

For example,

[02:55]

Do you have a car?

→ You have a car, right?

Ready?

「すしが すきじゃない んだっけ？」

[00: 07]

みなさん、こんにちは。

[00:09]

Let’s imagine the following situation. You are invited to a party on Saturday.  Well, you think it is Saturday next week, but you are not sure.  So, you’d ask: “The party is next Saturday, right?” The nuance of this “right?” can be expressed by 「〜だっけ？」.

[00:30]

In masu-form, ending particleよね is added to double check something, or to seek for an agreement.

[00:39]

In fact, in casual conversations,  ｢〜だっけ?｣ is often used.

Note: You know how to construct “ 〜んです“。Now just add ｢だっけ？｣, after  「ん」。

[00:46]

とにかく、れんしゅうしましょう。

たとえば、

いきますか＞いくんですよね

→いくんだっけ？

いいですか

[00:57]

1.  かいます＞かうんですよね

→かうんだっけ？

2.  よみます＞よむんですよね

→よむんだっけ？

3.  します＞するんですよね

→するんだっけ？

4.  きます＞くるんですよね

→くるんだっけ？

5.  あります＞あるんですよね

→あるんだっけ？

Repeat after me

[01:45]

1.  カリフォルニアに ともだちが いるんだっけ？

2.  これを コピーするんだっけ？

3.  きょう じかんがないんだっけ？

4.  にくを たべないんだっけ？

5.  おさけを のまないんだっけ？

6.  すしが すきじゃないんだっけ？

[02:51]

では、つぎのようにぶんをつくります。

たとえば、

[02:55]

くるまを もっていますよね

→ くるまを もっているんだっけ？

いいですか
