I don't think anyone will respond to this tread but I nead help with Japanese grammar. Does anyone know the difference between -beki desu and -hazu? I know both mean "should" but what is the difference? For example will it make a difference whether I say taberu-beki desu or taberu-hazu? When should you use -beki desu and when should you use -hazu? Also, should I bother with learning the transitive and intransitive forms of verbs.(For example okiru/okosu to get up/to rouse)  |

hi harukarei-san, Eto...i dunno if this will at least help you a little, but, here goes: ã¹ã - should (suf to verbs) / must Should/Must ã¯ãš - Hazu shows an expectation that something should happen. In other words, you are pretty sure something is true. Let`s see how it works... To add ã¯ãš to any adjective just add it... ãã®ã‹ã°ã‚“ã¯ã€é«˜ã„ã¯ãšã§ã™ã€‚ sono kaban wa, takai hazu desu. That bag must be expensive. [It is expected to be expensive] Just add it to the simple form of any verb ã‚ãªãŸã¯ã€ã‚´ã‚¸ãƒ©ã‚’知ã£ã¦ã„ã‚‹ã¯ãšã§ã™ã€‚ anata wa, gojira o shitteiru hazu desu. You should/must know Godzilla. There are 2 types of adjectives: -i adjectives - adjectives that end in -i -na adjectives - adjectives that add -na when placed before nouns The -i adjectives change: ã‚ã¤ã„　atsui - (It's) hot || +i ã‚ã¤ããªã„ atsukunai - not hot || -i + kunai ã‚ã¤ã‹ã£ãŸ atsukatta - was hot || -i + katta ã‚ã¤ããªã‹ã£ãŸ atsukunakatta - wasn't hot || -i + kunakatta Learn this and you can use all -i adjectives! The -na adjectives don't change, but when placed before nouns they add a -na ã’ã‚“ã genki (healthy, active, fine) ã’ã‚“ããªå genki na ko (healthy child) For more info, please visit: www.thejapanesepage.com happy learning ^_^ mi-chan

it has been explained to me that ã¯ãš is something that is said to be, or supposed to be.
