一日中 - ichi nichi jyuu
whether the romanization of the above jyuu should be written as
1. jyuu - 中

美人 - びじん (Bijin)- A babe, a beautiful lady, lit. beautiful person The
first kanji in this kanji compound is the kanji for utsukushii that is read

The word for peacock in Japanese is easy to remember if you had ever seen
the T.V. show Cojak. I always related that show Cojak to the Japanese word
kujaku or peacock. Cojak and kujaku are pronounced very nearly the same.
You want to build your vocabulary from a strong base not a weak one. Through
this and other such cognitives to help me remember all the words in Japanese
even though, I am past the threshold of ever possessing the tongue of a
native, nor the understanding of one. But still in all the endeavors which
ever did stir tal wilkinfield I want to marry her. I hope she is still available.
Strong word associations like these are the keys to long lasting memory.
Strong visual cues, an infinite possibility. Fibonacci88. I have never forgotten
the word for peacock, kujaku, since I first put to it my imagery and unique
way of identifying with a known word and fudging the pronunciation of the
words a little bit and before long, you will have that 6000 word vocabulary..
. but can you wield it correctly? How do you know you are doing it right?

Three Ways of Saying “After Verb’ing” in Japanese.
After, After, and After - 3 ways to say, “after verb’ing” in Japanese –
There are 3 easy ways to say to “after verb’ing” in Japanese
1. verb (base TE) + KARA
2. verb (base TA) + ATO DE
3. verb (base TA) + NOCHI NI
By themselves KARA, ATO DE, NOCHI NI all mean, after similar equivalent expressions for the English terms following or later.
To say that you will do something after doing something else in Japanese, use the following grammar constructions:
1. Verb (Base TE) + KARA – after verb’ing
Take verbs and put them into base TE.
Verbs ending in KU become ITE ~ITE
Verbs ending in GU become IDE ~IDE
Verbs ending in U, TSU, or RU ~ TTE
Verbs ending in BU, MU or NU ~NDE
The verb suru or verbs ending in SU become SHITE ~SHITE
Then add + KARA (after)
HANASU (v. to speak) HANASHITE
CHOTTO HANASHITE KARA IKIMASHO^ -
Let’s go after we talk a little.
YOMU (v. to speak) YONDE
HON O YONDE KARA NERU TO OMOIMASU.

TABERU (v. to eat) TABETE
TABETE KARA SHUKUDAI O SURU. –

UNDO WO SHITE KARA SHAWA O SURU KOTO GA SUKI DESU.

2. verb (base TA) + ATO DE - after verb’ing

*NOCHI NI = ATO DE, NOCHI DE
3. verb ( base TA) + NOCHI NI - after verb’ing
SAKE O NONDA NOCHI NI IE NI KAETTA –

SAKE O NONDA NOCHI NI INU O SAMPO SHI NI ITTA –
(After I drank some sake I took the dog for a walk.)
As you can see from these examples, there are two sides with two verbs comprising this construction. (Predicates and the like.)
Verb 1 in base TE +KARA and Verb 2
Verb 2 can be past, present, negative or positive, but Verb 1 must be in base TE.
As Always,
Ganbatte Ne!
