Weather 1

Isn’t this fun?
In Japanese, we can change the whole meaning of a sentence just by changing how it ends!
寒いです。It’s cold.
寒いですIs it cold?
寒いですIt’s cold, isn’t it?
くないです。It’s not cold.
くないですIsn’t it cold?
強くふきます!
In English, when a word ends in ‑ly, it tells us how something happens, like The wind blows strongly. In Japanese, you’d take the off an adjective and add a .
風が強いです。
The wind is
strong.
風が強くふきます。
The wind blows
strongly.
しかし
しかし and でも mean similar things. しかし, however, is a little more formal.
しかし今日は寒いです。
However, it’s cold today.
でも今日は暑いです。
But it’s hot today.
