And I'm back with another page of comics! I split everything up so it's easier to read and I can explain them better, but everything here does all fit on one page.
"What kind of tree is this?"
これは木です。= this is a tree
So I was showing a Japanese exchange student around our property and was pointing out a tree and then realized I wasn't sure what it was called so I just said it was a tree and we had a good laugh pointing at all the different kinds of trees and saying they were trees.
"That didn't go as planned"
きょう、わたしはごご12じいえでうばう。= today at 12pm I will rob the house (or something like that)
。。。= awkward silence
いいえ!= NO!
One of my classmates told us a story of a time that some kids tried to rob her house but when they burst into the basement with a crowbar and found her in a t-shirt and underwear eating a sandwich they ran away I just knew I had to make a comic of it. Here is the story shown with my limited Japanese.
"This is my cat"
それはなんですか?= what is that?
これは、わたしのねこです。= this is my cat.
せんせい= teacher
せいせき?= grades?
これは、わたしのねこです。= this is my cat.
いま、なんじですか?= what time is it?
これは、わたしのねこです。= this is my cat.
がくせい= student
かみ= paper
「ごみばこ」は英語でなんといいますか?= how do you say "gomibako" in English?
これは、わたしのねこです。= this is my cat.
When I was talking with the Japanese exchange student, who has amazing English by the way, I was saying that the extent of my Japanese was stuff like 「これは、わたしのねこです。」 which translates to "this is my cat," which won't get me very far. These are examples of it not getting me very far. By the way I can actually answer all these questions. The answer to the first one is correct, the answer to the second one is A's, the third one is ごぜん1じ59ふんです, and the answer to the last one is 「wastebasket」といいます.
