| INTRODUCTION |
| John: Hi everyone, I'm John. |
| Risa: And I'm Risa. |
| John: And welcome to Must-Know Japanese Sentence Structures, Season 1, Lesson 43. Expressing Sensory Experience. |
| John: In this lesson, you'll learn how to use a sentence pattern for expressing a sensory experience. |
| PATTERN |
| John: For example, |
| John: "I feel cold." or literally "I have the shivers." |
| Risa: 寒気がします。 (Samuke ga shimasu.) |
| Risa: [slow] 寒気がします。 (Samuke ga shimasu.) |
| John: The pattern for expressing sensory experience has three elements. First, a noun meaning "shivers." |
| Risa: 寒気 (Samuke). |
| John: Second, the subject-marking particle. |
| Risa: が (ga) |
| John: And last, the verb |
| Risa: する (suru) |
| John: meaning "to perceive" in this case, which in the masu-form is |
| Risa: します (shimasu) |
| John: Altogether, we have... "I feel cold.” |
| Risa: 寒気がします。 (Samuke ga shimasu.) [slow] 寒気がします。 (Samuke ga shimasu.) [normal] 寒気がします。 (Samuke ga shimasu.) |
| John: The sentence pattern to express sensory experience, is an expression of sense or feeling plus the subject-marking particle, followed by |
| Risa: します (shimasu) |
| John: which expresses a notion of some perception. Again "I feel cold." is... |
| Risa: 寒気がします。 (Samuke ga shimasu.) |
| John: So remember, to express sensation or feeling, first say the expression you've perceived then just add the phrase... |
| Risa: がします (ga shimasu). |
| John: Here is another example meaning, "I hear a strange sound." First, a phrase meaning "a strange sound." |
| Risa: 変な音 (Hen na oto) |
| John: Second, the subject-marking particle. |
| Risa: が (ga) |
| John: And last, the masu-form of the verb which means "to perceive" in this case. |
| Risa: します (shimasu) |
| John: Altogether we have... |
| Risa: 変な音がします。 (Hen na oto ga shimasu.) [slow] 変な音がします。 (Hen na oto ga shimasu.) [normal] 変な音がします。 (Hen na oto ga shimasu.) |
| John: "I hear a strange sound." |
| [pause] |
| Risa: 変な音がします。 (Hen na oto ga shimasu.) |
| John: How do you say, "This cookie tastes of coffee." To give you a hint, "taste of coffee" is... |
| Risa: コーヒーの味 (kōhī no aji). [slow] コーヒーの味 (kōhī no aji). [normal] コーヒーの味 (kōhī no aji). |
| John: "This cookie tastes of coffee." |
| [pause] |
| Risa: このクッキーは、コーヒーの味がします。 (Kono kukkī wa, kōhī no aji ga shimasu.) [slow] このクッキーは、コーヒーの味がします。 (Kono kukkī wa, kōhī no aji ga shimasu.) [normal] このクッキーは、コーヒーの味がします。 (Kono kukkī wa, kōhī no aji ga shimasu.) |
| [pause] |
| Risa: このクッキーは、コーヒーの味がします。 (Kono kukkī wa, kōhī no aji ga shimasu.) |

| John: Let's review the sentences from this lesson. I will give you the English equivalent of the phrase and you are responsible for shouting it out loud in Japanese. Here we go. |
| John: "I feel cold. (I have the shivers.)" |
| [pause] |
| Risa: 寒気がします。 (Samuke ga shimasu.) |
| [pause] |
| Risa: 寒気がします。 (Samuke ga shimasu.) |
| John: "I hear a strange sound." |
| [pause] |
| Risa: 変な音がします。 (Hen na oto ga shimasu.) |
| [pause] |
| Risa: 変な音がします。 (Hen na oto ga shimasu.) |
| John: "This cookie tastes of coffee." |
