49.[✐3,4] ending particleだっけ？

“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?
