21:29there is tehcnically no such thing as future tense in Japanese
21:59japan only has a two times, past and not past.
22:06Okay here's a comparison. "はいりました” could be "did you put this inside of your pants" but ”はいていました” is more like "did you leave this inside your pants?"
22:30Yeah past, past participle, that sort of stuff. It's just like that. Hairu is 'to enter', hairimashita is 'entered', haitteimasu is 'entering', that sort of thing.
22:33the thing is you use auxiliary verbs for a lot of stuff in english
22:34haiteimasita is a past action that has an effect on the present
22:47Hey. Alright gonna go nap. :waving_hand:
他
23:40im sorry if this sounds unhelpful but the idea at this point is whatever you think sounds like it makes sense in this context lol
23:43The te in haitemashita is just how you connect hairu to imashita
23:44ている/ています is the continous part
23:46-tei is continuous so it's the ongoing state of being put inside of the pants
23:55:hand-pink-waving:Hello, Calfie~:purple_heart::cow:
他
24:16yeah, basically that, te is just to connect
24:25It's a combined verb
24:28I recently picked up vol 1 in EN, reading in furigana seems like a great way to learn
24:38the て is just a connector
25:03when you do "masu" you make ending sylabel to end with i
25:06you shoulf start with the plain form of verbs, learning masu form is just making it harder for youtself
25:08て is used in a lot of conjugation to connect things to other things
25:32ri is what is called dictionary form I think, it's another kind of connector it shares some uses with te
25:44it just makes things easier to pronounce basically lol
25:46most japanese sentcnes need a verb to end the sentence
26:01what are you using to learn? Also what is the cost?
