Japanese class – またカレー？3

Main contents

こんにちは。旅したいらいむーんです。今日も日本語を学んでいきましょう。

Hello. I’m Limun who want to go traveling. Let’s learn Japanese this time.

Mauz: またカレーを食べてるんですか？

Limun: はい。カレーは美味しいし、手軽に作れるからね

Mauz: ちゃんと野菜も食べないとダメだよ！

Limun: 野菜も食べます。頑張ります。

Today I will explain about the third sentence.

ちゃんと野菜も食べないとダメだよ！

This sentence is split for 2 parts to understand well.

野菜も食べ

And

ちゃんと〜ないとダメだよ！

I will explain from the first one.

This is a little complicated so I will explain 3 things.

1 Meanings of words.

野菜 is “vegetables”

も is “too”

食べる(eat) is transformed into 食べ

2 subject

When we see the whole sentence the subject is “you”.

For easy explanation I will add the subject and it will become like this.

あなたは野菜も食べ

It means “you eat vegetables too”

This is the key to understand the whole sentence.

This is a kind of mold so you can make many sentences if you know this.

This structure means like

“You have to do ~”

But this way of saying is a little casual so you can use among family or friends.

The third sentence means

You have to eat vegetables.
