Day Eighteen: Mo

This Too

 

Today is a minor break from the major grammar points that we have been covering up till now. Most every day we have done something that takes quite a bit of time to wrap your brain around. Even with all the aid that we have for you between this site, the podcast, and our grammar database – discovernihongo.com. Today we are covering a simple grammar point: も. 

 

も (mo) indicates that, on top of what has been stated already, something more is also the case. も basically expresses that something else also falls into the category previously explained in a previous sentence or idea.も works almost exactly like the English “also”, “as well as”, and “too”. Also, like most particles it can be used after another particle (particle stacking), however unlike other particles も maintains its meaning and despite stacking.

Daily Vocabulary

Learning a language can really help you brain, but over packing it with a ton is different grammar points and things can also hinder you Japanese learning. One bit of advice that we give to all of our students to to only focus on what you need to know. If you don’t know how to say ticket and you are going to ride the train, learn that word. You will need to know the word ticket to properly preform that task. 

On this flip side of that don’t learn the word for flying squirrel or monopoly if you don’t need it. The more focussed, or the better you can parse through information and find what you need, the faster you will improve. For this very reason we designed this 30 day challenge. Every word and grammar point was added simply for its utility and importance in learning the language.
