Quick question

Postby slavor » July 5th, 2007 12:25 am

I just had a quick question. I know in japanese the sentence structure is subject object verb. But im curious as to how you go about using multiple verbs.

For example how do you say We're going to go see a movie?

Also just another quick question, how to express wanting something. How do you say I want 'that'?

multiple verbs......it highly depends on the meaning behind the multible verbs and what exactly you're expressing.



Common ways:
te form
ren'youkei [masu stem is a ren'youkei]
conjunctions
conjunctive particles
etc.

We are going to see a movie is a future action.
so just the plain/masu form (miru/mimasu) is used.

But for a literal "going" to do something
ren'youkei + ni iku

eiga wo mi ni iku
