| INTRODUCTION |
| Naomi: 直美です。 (Naomidesu.) |
| Peter: Peter here. What Are You Going to Bring? Thank you for joining us for this lesson. I am Peter and I am joined here by |
| Naomi: 直美です。 (Naomidesu.) So what are we looking at in this lesson? |
| Peter: Now in the previous lesson, Raizo, Yukio and Miyu went upstairs to see some fireworks but when they went upstairs, Raizo, the father suddenly remembered that it wouldn’t be such a good idea to go see the fireworks on the balcony. Naomi Sensei, why was that? |
| Naomi: Because he thought Haruya was still there. |
| Peter: And Haruya is the boyfriend he locked out. |
| Naomi: そうです。 (Sōdesu.) |
| Peter: So what’s going on in this lesson Naom Sensei? |
| Naomi: So we will find out where Haruya is? |
| Peter: Okay now the focus of this lesson is |
| Naomi: 連れてくる (Tsuretekuru) and 持ってくる。 (Motte kuru.) |
| Peter: So to bring someone and to bring something. |
| Naomi: This conversation takes place at 天道さんのうち。 (Tendō-san no uchi.) |
| Peter: Of course the Tendo’s residence and the conversation is mainly between |
| Naomi: Miyu and her father. So since they are daughter and father, you will hear casual Japanese. では、会話を聞いてください。 (Dewa, kaiwa o kiite kudasai.) |

| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Peter: What? There has been a robbery. |
| Naomi: そうです。強盗ですね。 (Sōdesu. Gōtōdesu ne.) |
| Peter: よ、よくわかんないです。 (Yo, yoku wakan'naidesu.) I don’t really know what’s going on here. What kind of robbery? |
| Naomi: I don’t know. |
| Peter: All right. Let’s take a look at an interesting word in there and that word is Naomi Sensei? |
| Naomi: おつまみ (O tsumami) |
| Peter: Which is a snack and I know this because this is one of my favorite words in Japanese. |
| Naomi: だってね (Datte ne) You are always eating おつまみ (O tsumami) in the office. |
| Peter: It’s just so good but what’s interesting but before we talk about that, let’s look at where this word comes from. |
| Naomi: It’s from a verb つまむ (Tsumamu) |
| Peter: To pinch. So its noun form is |
| Naomi: つまみ (Tsumami) |
| Peter: So the む (Mu) becomes み (Mi) and then, in front is the honorific prefix |
| Naomi: お (O) |
| Peter: So おつまみ (O tsumami) |
| Naomi: そうです。 (Sōdesu.) |
| Peter: And this means a snack. |
| Naomi: So what’s your favorite おつまみ？ (O tsumami?) |
| Peter: You are going to laugh. 絶対笑います。 (Zettai waraimasu.) You are going to really laugh. |
| Naomi: 何？何？ (Nani? Nani?) |
| Peter: My favorite おつまみ (O tsumami) is 柿の種。 (kaki no tane.) |
| Naomi: おばあちゃんみたいだな。 (O bāchan mitaida na.) |
| Peter: I knew you were going to say that yes. It’s an old person’s snack. |
| Naomi: My grandma used to love those kinds of things. |
| Peter: It’s little pieces of 煎餅。 (Senbei.) |
| Naomi: Yeah rice crackers |
| Peter: And it’s a little spicy and it also has peanuts. |
| Naomi: そうね。 (Sō ne.) It’s good though yeah. |
| Peter: Yeah it’s really good. で、直美先生は？ (De, Naomi sensei wa?) |
| Naomi: 枝豆。 (Edamame.) |
| Peter: Ah soybeans. |
| Naomi: So boiled green soybeans. |
| Peter: That’s really, really good. |
| Naomi: 美味しいですね。日本に来たら、 (Oishīdesu ne. Nihon ni kitara,) When you visit Japan, please try those. |
| Peter: 枝豆 (Edamame) |
| Naomi: And 柿の種。 (Kaki no tane.) |
| Peter: On to the vocab. |

| VOCAB AND PHRASE USAGE |
| Naomi: We have two essential words to survive in Japan. |
| Peter: We are going to go over some literal survival that you would need in tough situations but I don’t think you are going to need them. |
| Naomi: We hope |
| Peter: Yes we hope, good point. Naomi Sensei, first word |
| Naomi: 警察 (keisatsu) |
| Peter: Police |
| Naomi: And 救急車 (Kyūkyūsha) |
| Peter: Ambulance. Now the emergency number is |
| Naomi: For 警察 (Keisatsu) 110 |
| Peter: 110 |
| Naomi: For 救急車 (Kyūkyūsha) 119 |
| Peter: 119. The opposite of 911 what we use in America. |
| Naomi: あ、そうですね。 (A, sōdesune.) And 119 is also for 消防車。 (Shōbōsha.) |
| Peter: Fire department or a fire truck. Now Naomi Sensei, do they speak English? |
| Naomi: I don’t know. I think they do, not sure but don’t worry. We are going to cover how to make an emergency call in the next lesson. |
| Peter: Giving more and more hints away. Now what’s interesting though, I think much like in the US, if you call the police from a landline, they are going to dispatch somebody. |
| Naomi: そうですね。 (Sōdesu ne.) |
| Peter: I remember one time I accidentally dialed 911. |
| Naomi: Accidentally? |
| Peter: Yes because 411 is information… |
| Naomi: Okay. |
| Peter: In the US and okay, they are not that close but..on the… but anyway.. |
| Naomi: Accident. |
| Peter: But – so I hung up. |
| Naomi: Yeah. |
| Peter: But the police officer came anyway. So if you call from a landline, I don’t even think you need to speak English. |
| Naomi: そうなんだ。 (Sōna nda.) |
| Peter: とにかく (Tonikaku) Anyway, in the next lesson, we are going to cover this. Now what’s the next word? |
| Naomi: 呼ぶ (Yobu) |
| Peter: To call out, to call, to invite. It’s a class 1 verb. So the te form is |
| Naomi: 呼んで (Yonde) |
| Peter: Now in lesson 6, we introduced 呼ぶ (Yobu) as a verb to invite, however it also means to call. |
| Naomi: 警察を呼びます。 (Keisatsu o yobimasu.) |
| Peter: I am going to call the police. |
| Naomi: And if you are going to ask somebody to call the police, 警察を呼んでください。 (Keisatsu o yonde kudasai.) |
| Peter: Please call the police. So now at least you can ask somebody to call for you. |
| Naomi: そうですね。 (Sōdesu ne.) |
| Peter: Okay let’s have a look at today’s grammar point. |
Lesson focus |
|---|
| Peter: Naomi Sensei, in the previous lesson, we looked at |
| Naomi: Combining two sentences. |
| Peter: Now in this lesson, we are focusing on the te form of a verb plus |
| Naomi: くる (Kuru) |
| Peter: To come. |
| Naomi: 例えば (Tatoeba) For example 持ってくる。 (Motte kuru.) |
| Peter: This literally means hold something and come and it corresponds to the English, to bring. In the last lesson, we looked at using the te form as a conjunction using it as and. In this lesson, the second verb, the te form isn’t a conjunction but here the second verb is used as an auxiliary verb meaning it basically helps the first verb. So rather than 持ってくる (Motte kuru) being hold and come, it’s simultaneously, holding it and coming, to bring. How about another example? |
| Naomi: 連れてくる (Tsuretekuru) |
| Peter: And it’s used to bring a person or an animal. So something living and it’s translated as to bring someone or something along. |
| Naomi: In today’s dialogue, we had 灰皿を持ってきて。 (Haizara o motte kite.) |
| Peter: Bring an ashtray. |
| Naomi: And we also have 母さんを連れてきて。 (Kāsan o tsurete kite.) |
| Peter: Bring your mother. These two are kind of special cases where the te form is not And but these two verbs are used together. The second verb is auxiliary. So 持ってくる (Motte kuru) to bring 連れてくる (Tsuretekuru) to bring somebody or some living thing. So can we have the examples one more time. |
| Naomi: 灰皿を持ってきて。 (Haizara o motte kite.) |
| Peter: Now here as it’s an informal conversation, there is something dropped. |
| Naomi: ください (Kudasai) is dropped. |
| Peter: So in a polite situation, it would be |
| Naomi: 灰皿を持ってきてください。 (Haizara o motte kite kudasai.) |
| Peter: Since it’s the father and the daughter talking, basically it’s informal. So the ください (Kudasai) is dropped and you can also see in the next example. |
| Naomi: 母さんを連れてきて。 (Kāsan o tsurete kite.) |
| Peter: Again the ください (Kudasai) is dropped. It’s implied. |
| Naomi: ください (Kudasai) So there will be お母さんを連れてきてください (Okāsan o tsurete kite kudasai) is the polite sentence. |
Outro |
| Peter: That’s going to do for today. |
| Naomi: じゃあ、また。 (Jā, mata.) |
