"かのじょは来ますか？"

Translation: Will she come?

[Jaugust8]

Yes( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[Shinobusagi]

Fun side-note: Japanese people don't "come", they "go" (行く).

[Jose.Cazares]

They come and go.
They come and go.

[chibijuanella]

Where did they come from, where did they go.

There is alternate way to tell that "I'm coming" is 来る, which is mentioned on this exercise, but 来る is seldomly used in conversations. They use 来る only when they say "I'm coming (to you)" from nearby the speaker's viewpoint

この変態!

[NESguru]

The 'ki' here is to make her come.

[lindarthebard]

The fact that these lessons keep using かれ and かのじょ like "he" and "she" really messes me up. I've never heard it used like that, only as "that boy/girl", and people will just repeat names instead of using pronouns. I feel like this is going to teach people bad/impolite speaking habits.

[AmaranthZi]

I was taught that in my Japanese class too. "あのおんあのこは....." but I think that maybe it might be used in casual conversations more. considering I'm planning on living in Japan after college permanently, it's still really helpful.

[AmaranthZi]

女の子*

[AmaranthZi]

my keyboard hates the letter ん

[Frrost]

Yeah you have to doubletap n for ん and 女の子 is おんなのこ in kana, no あ.

[Frrost]

Replying to myself cuz i cant reply to you but yeah, kana refers to hiragana and katakana. Basically, kana is not kanji.

[AmaranthZi]

I know there's no a, that's why I corrected myself. like you said, you have to double tap to get the ん and I didn't realize that so instead of おんな it did おんあ. also kana? do they call hiragana kana for short? I'd think they'd call katakana kana for short.

[IroKun]

Unless if you have a original Japanese 12 keys keyboard, you just slide it on ん.

[thoriguc]

Cant reply to your last comment, but katakana and hiragana are types of kana. Google "kana" if you need to

Make some japanese friends online first.

[IroKun]

Yes, because かれ and かのじょ is very rare in coversations and stuff like that. It is not impolite, but they may wonder like what are you talking about. Usually japanese will ask separately "Who/which one are you talking about", but they usually don't say He or She, His or Her. So they just say i. e. かっこいいです or サラがかわいいですね.

[JulioMissa1]

Innuendos aside, what does exactly this phrase mean in japanese? Is it more like "Is she coming?" or "Will she come?"?

[RoseWolf95]

In English both of those usually seem the same. But if by "Is she coming" you mean "Is she travelling on her way this second", then this sentence isn't that. That would be "かのじょは来ていますか？" which joins the te form of 来ます with います, which I imagine the course will teach later.

[BrettStock1]

I could have sworn i learned kanojo meant girlfriend, but they seem to be using it exclusively as a pronoun for girls... Did i learn wrong?

[Rob0215]

It can refer to both meanings. Like many other words and phrases in Japanese, the context will usually dictate which one it is.

[domsalazar0]

yeah that tripped me up to... I don't get that either - I guess it's like gohan meaning "rice" or "meal". And you're just supposed to know from the context. Which of course is not clear at all (and even less so on Duolingo)

[Jim373739]

Staring at the sea
Will she come?
Is there hope for me
After all is said and done?

...oh sorry, lost my train of thought.

[ZelieZazou]

彼女は来ますか?
Is this correct?

[sicilechanson]

"Will she arrive?" was not accepted. :(

[Ryu152657]

So "ikimasu" is different from "kimas"?

[Hector843229]

Can "is she coming?" be correct also? or not?
