"I am his younger sister."

Translation: 私は彼の妹です。

[Kachu-sama]

いもうと should be written in kanji 妹.

[VivianHuds1]

I agree. I would like if DL taught more kanji

[_jclipse]

It would definitely be helpful to throw more Kanji. Luckily, some words show the Kanji if you tap on them to see their definition. As far as I know, DL aims to prepare you for the JLPT N5.

[SamuelMato664175]

I marked without です and was correct. Why?

[Kachu-sama]

To be honest, です is a mark of polite speech. The sentence, in essence, is correct without it.

[AlexDavis552325]

Desu is the coppola is used how "is" is used in English, kinda.

[AnimusVox1]

私は彼の妹です

[TyrantRC]

わたしは　かれの　いもうとです

[aAsiara]

Watashi is usually ommited in other examples. Why I can't omit it in this sentence?

[RVJioWts]

You can. I omitted it and it was correct, so maybe it was changed if you were marked wrong.

[RebeckahSy1]

Sadly that seems to be the case I put "彼の私は妹です" and it was marked wrong.

[Swisidniak]

You've placed the の linking particle between the nouns "he" and "me/I" connecting them together into a single noun phrase "His me"
彼の私は妹です says "His me is a little sister" which doesn't make sense.

私は彼の妹です- I am his little sister

[vhw04]

彼の妹は私です。should also be correct right? It wasnt for me.

[jon707888]

I tried this one too.

[Julia543869]

The literal is,.. as for me, his younger sister i am.

[Steven_deCassel]

That would be "His younger sister is me", which conveys the same information, but is a different sentence. The nouns are swapping roles, as one is defining the other, giving new information.

[Griele8]

'wa' and 'no' usage is so confusing

[SanaLife]

彼の妹です

[MichaelAlf221429]

Does anyone else notice that most times a male voice reads the female first person statement and vice versa?

[KizunaShy]

Why is a younger sister using 私 and speaking in a male voice? haha just thought that was funny.

[Rai830496]

I tried "Kare no Watashi wa Imouto desu" but it didn't get accepted. Was this grammatically wrong? I thought the subject of the sentence started of first (the brother).

[Swisidniak]

の is a linking particle used to modify a noun with another noun. Moving its placement changes what it is being linked to.
AのB - "The B of A" or "A's B"
彼の妹 - "His younger sister", "The younger sister of him"
彼の私 would mean "His me" or "The me of him" and doesn't make sense.
彼の私は妹です "On the topic of his me - a younger sister"
私は彼の妹です "On the topic of me - his younger sister"

The subject here isn't the brother; it is the speaker "I/me" that is being described as having the quality of "being his younger sister"

[wdme32248]

when in doubt treat の as if it were" 's ". Its worked in the lessons so far

[Justafurryboi]

What is the use of 彼の?

[Swisidniak]

彼の is the part that means "his" in this sentence
彼 - he の - possessive particle (functions like an 's in English)
"the younger sister of him" or "his younger sister"

[franco366145]

彼は私の妹です was marck as wrong. My thinking was "as of him(彼は) I'm(私) his(の) lil'sis (妹)" but I'm starting to see it may be "as of him,my lil'sis"

[Swisidniak]

Particles directly modify the word before them, and the linking particle の links two nouns together. 私の妹 "My little sister"
So yes, your sentence says "He is my little sister"

私は彼の妹です - I am his little sister
私は - As for me 彼の妹 - His little sister です - Am

[ProfD23]

Every once in a while they trick you by having the Japanese and English words in basically the same order. How evil.

[RandipaKum]

can anyone help me out to where to put "wa" and "no" it is still kinda confuse me. Thank u
