Introduction to Japanese Language and Culture

Lecture - 7
Ima nan-ji desu ka?
What is the time now?

Konnichiwa and good morning everybody, welcome to the basic Japanese language class for beginners.
We have been doing a lot of sounds here we have been doing katakana, hiragana, kanji characters in
these previous classes with a lot of new words and lot of sound practice, lot of word practice. I hope
that now you feel more comfortable and you are able to pronounce the words properly. You can make
sentences on your own, you can ask a few things like you can ask name, you can ask age, you can ask
about someone’s specialization. So, I am sure you are a little more confident and comfortable than you
were in the beginning.

(Refer Slide Time: 01:15)

Well, as you know before actually starting the class, we do the revision of the previous class or I should
say the revision of your assignments, we once go through the assignments. So, before I actually start,
we will again go through what assignments I had given you.
(Refer Slide Time: 01:37)
They were simple assignments this time not very difficult all you have to do was tell the price which is
what we did last time in our lesson. So, the picture is here in front of you. The names of the objects you
know, there are some objects which you do not know probably and which I will tell you right now. But
first we will practice our price. So, over here, you could also repeat after me please hyaku-ni-juu-en,
kyuu-hyaku-hachi-juu-en, megane wa kyuu-hyaku-hachi-juu en, budo, budo wa sanbyaku go-juuen,
kabin, kabin wa kyuu-hyaku-rokuu-juuen, kutsu, kutsu wa sen nana-hyaku-hachi-juuen, purin, purin wa
hyaku-yon-juu en.

The next one is shatsu, shatsu wa kyuu-hyakuen and the last one is sushi, sushi is a Japanese delicacy
and it is actually raw sea food on rice balls. It is very tasty, you try it sometime sushi wa roppyakuen.
So, I hope you did it like this at home loudly. Now we go on to doing the next one as well. Next one
also is the same picture the only difference is that you have everything written in kanji characters.
(Refer Slide Time: 03:47)
So well, let us see what the first one is hyaku-ni-juu-en hyaku-ni-juu-en. So, please write these in kanji
and then practice. This is a writing practice exercise, so please do it. Megane kyu-hyaku-hachi-juu-en
well, tell me what it is? Budo is grapes sanbyaku go-juu-en, then we have kabin which is a vase and
you can see it is written kyuu-hyaku-roku-juu-en. Then we have sandals sandaru wa sen-nana-hyaku-
hachi-juu-en, sen-nana-hyaku-hachi-juu-en, then we have hyaku-yon-juu-en and then we have shirts
shatsu wa kyuu-hyaku-en and the last one for you is sushi wa roppyaku-en. So, you will notice pyaku,
hyaku pyaku are used like this just get used to it.
(Refer Slide Time: 05:27)

Well, now in our previous classes, we have done how to ask name, we have done how to ask about
specialization, we have also studied how to ask age. So, today something new for you; after this
probably when you talk to someone, you would also want to tell about your hobbies. So well, we have
‘shumi’ , shumi is hobby, shumi in Japanese means hobby. So, I will read the conversation for you. The
basic structure is similar just by introducing this word ‘shumi’ after ‘Anata no’. You can easily ask
someone their hobby what they like doing. So well, it is right here, Anata no shumi wa nan desu ka?
Watashi no shumi wa ongaku desu. Ongaku is music.

Watashi no shumi wa tenisu desu. ‘tennis’, watashi no shumi wa yamanobori desu ‘mountaineering’,
watashi no shumi wa piano desu ‘piano’ of course, you all know. Watashi no shumi wa saikuringu
desu, watashi no shumi wa dokusha desu dokusho is ‘reading’. Watashi no shumi wa shashin desu
shashin is ‘photography’. Watashi no shumi wa suiei desu suiei is ‘swimming’. So, well you could
replace ‘ongaku’ with any of these over here and you could be telling about what you like doing, what
your hobby is. It is all given in hiragana and katakana over here. So, you could please study your
hiragana also like this try to remember the hiragana characters as well.
(Refer Slide Time: 07:26)

Now also what you can do over here

very simple.

(Refer Slide Time: 07:37)

We did anata no shumi wa ongaku desu, okay. We
replaced ‘ongaku’ with lot of other things like yamanobori, suiei and a lot of other things. In a similar
manner, you can also replace ‘anata no’ over here as you have done earlier with okaasan, tomodachi,
sensei, watashi. So, any of these and more whatever vocabulary you remember, you can always replace
‘anata’ with any of these and
you can add ‘no’ later on, meaning ‘watashi no’ “mine”, okaasan’s, tomodachi’s, sensei’s and mine.
So, all of it you can ask and answer, you can see over here, Anata no shumi wa nan desu ka? Watashi
no shumi wa ongaku desu; same sentence but over here ‘watashi’ can be replaced with tomodachi, Rao
san, okusan, shujin and Tanaka sansei or any anybody else you want to talk about, is that alright. Let us
go on to doing the vocabulary for shumi.

(Refer Slide Time: 09:12)

Tenisu as you can see is tennis, yamanobori, piano, saikuringu, dokusho, shashin, suiei. So, these we
did in our previous slide over here. Now there is new vocabulary for you ryokou, ryokou is traveling.
Eiga, eiga is pictures, movies and dorama, dorama is of course, an English word drama which of course
you know what it is. So, you could use any of these in place of shumi over here, you can tell what your
shumi is.
(Refer Slide Time: 10:42)

Now we have been practicing numbers in our previous lessons a certain group in each class. So, today
we will do this last group from 90 till 100. You could repeat after me please, this is just for
pronunciation and we need to do the numbers really well because we need them for a lot of things later
on. Lot of things you can do with numbers you have to tell time, you have to buy things, you have to go
so many miles, you have to do a lot of things, count a lot of things. So, numbers are really- really
essential.
We have kyuu-juu-ichi, kyuu-juu-ni, kyuu-juu-san, kyuu-juu-yon or kyuu-juu-shi, kyuu-juu-go, kyuu-
juu-roku, kyuu-juu-nana or kyuu-juu-shichi, kyuu-juu-hachi, kyuu-juu-kyuu or ku and then for 100 it is
different, it is hyaku. Please remember 100 is pronounced as hyaku, hyaku, a short sound hya, hyaku.
So, with this we finish your numbers till 100. I hope you will do it at home and memorize them as fast
as you can.
(Refer Slide Time: 12:36)
So, now today we will do something new, what time is it now, Ima nan ji desu ka? So, now you know
this word ‘nan’ you know ‘desu’ and you know ‘ka’ over here. There are two new words ‘ima’ and ‘ji’.

(Refer Slide Time: 12:57)

We will do those very soon but before that, I want you to listen to this dialogue carefully and let me see
how much you actually understand and whatever is left, we will of course, cover it right here and right
now.

Sumimasen, ima nan ji desu ka?

Shichi-ji desu.
Gakkou wa nan-ji kara desu ka?
Hachi-ji kara desu.Nan-ji made desu ka?
Gogo san-ji made desu.
Arigatou gozaimasu.
Douitashimashite.
(Refer Slide Time: 13:33)

Well, how much did you understand now from the dialogue? I will read it out to you once and then I
will explain. This is a dialogue between two people Karuna san and Arun san, a small dialogue short
conversation over here.
Sumimasen, ima nan ji desu ka.?
Shichi-ji desu.
Gakkou wa nan-ji kara desu ka.?
Hachi-ji kara desu.
Nan-ji made desu ka.?
Gogo san-ji made desu.
Arigatou gozaimasu.
Douitashimashite.

So, I am sure fifty percent is understood from here whatever is left, of course, you can read.

(Refer Slide Time: 14:16)

Over here, English translation is given and then also you have it written here in Japanese in the script.
You can see from here that some of it is in hiragana, some kanji’s are there for you and well we do not
have any katakana today, but generally katakana is also there in the conversation if you have a foreign
word in Japanese, all the three scripts are used simultaneously and you cannot write Japanese only in
one script. Well, we go back to our conversation here our dialogue here.

Now I will explain. So, sumimasen excuse me, ima ima means now, right now at this point ima nan ji
desu ka. Nan, of course, you know and after ‘nan’ if you put this counter ‘ji’ this word ji, it denotes
time, it shows time. It means o clock; it is equivalent to o’clock in English. ‘Sumimasen ima nan ji
desu ka?’ What time is it now? Shichi-ji desu, shichi, of course, you have done. So, number seven
shichi-ji-desu.

(Refer Slide Time: 15:43)

So, like this with each number ichi-ji, ni-ji, san-ji, yo-ji, go-ji; ichi-ji, ni-ji, san-ji, yo-ji, go-ji; so, you
will notice over here that so far, we have done numbers as ichi, ni, san, shi, go, roku. So, over here you
will see that yon, yon is a little different, it is not yon, it is ‘yo-ji desu’, yo-ji desu. So, for time,
remember it is ‘yo’ and not yon. Now we have shichi-ji desu. Gakkou wa nan-ji kara desu ka.? Hachi-ji
kara desu. Nan-ji made desu ka.? Gogo san-ji made desu.

Now a new word for you over here gogo gogo and gozen; so, ‘gogo’ means evening or ‘P.M.’ and
‘gozen’ means morning or ‘A.M.’ and then of course, the two phrases Arigatou gozaimasu and
Douitashimashite. Arigatou, of course, you know is thank you very much and Douitashimashite is
mention not, the pleasure is entirely mine, the pleasure is mine and it is alright. So, either of those you
could use, it could mean either of those depending on whom you are talking to. If you are talking to
your teacher, then it has to be very polite; meaning the pleasure is entirely mine and if it is just a causal
may be asking time on the road, then ‘douitashimashite’ means oh, it’s alright, it does not matter, it is
okay.

(Refer Slide Time: 18:07)

As I told you ‘ima’ means ‘now’ which corresponds to ‘now’, ‘at present’, ‘at the moment’ in English,
as you can see on your screen over here.

(Refer Slide Time: 18:24)

Then as I told you ‘ji’ is the counter for time, ji means o’ clock in English. And if you add ‘nan before
ji’ as a ‘nan-ji desu ka’ it is similar in meaning to what time it is, may I know the time ‘roku-ji desu’ as
you can see ‘go-ji desu 5 o’ clock’.

(Refer Slide Time: 18:53)

Now there is a small watch for you over here; you can practice your time ichi, ni, san, yo, go, roku,
shichi, hachi, ku, juu, juu-ichi and juu-ni. So, now you can please repeat after me ichi-ji, ni-ji, san-ji,
yo-ji, go-ji, roku-ji, shichi-ji, hachi-ji, ku-ji, juu-ji, juu-ichi-ji, juu-ni-ji. Now you will notice that ‘yon’
and ‘shichi’ are two different readings over here for ‘yon’ and ‘nana’.
(Refer Slide Time: 20:29)

So, please remember that yon-four and nana is yo-ji and shichi-ji and not shi ji or nana ji please. This is
not to be used for time yo and shichi is to be used for time. So well, we can practice hours of the day
now.

(Refer Slide Time: 21:05)

Sumimasen. Ima nan ji desu ka? A simple question you can ask and you can also answer hachi-ji desu.
So, repeat after me over here, we can practice the numbers once again. Ichi-ji desu
and also we have the kanji for what is written in roman ichi-ji desu, ni-ji desu, san-ji desu, yo-ji desu,
go-ji desu, roku-ji desu, shichi-ji desu, hachi-ji desu, ku-ji desu, juu-ji desu, juu-ichi-ji desu, juu-ni-ji
desu. Please pronounce these two yo and shichi as is written over here and not yon or shi or nana.
Remember that for time; it is yo and shichi. Now once you know what time it is, you can say time, you
can also tell the time of a place.
(Refer Slide Time: 22:33)

All you need to do over here is, ‘Sumimasen.

Toukyou wa ima nan-ji desu ka?’ You can put the name of the place as is given over here, ‘Toukyou
wa ima nan-ji desu ka?’ So before ‘ima nan-ji desu ka’ you can put the name of the place and you can
ask the time of that place and answer ‘Toukyou wa ima roku-ji desu or shichi-ji desu or hachi-ji desu’,
whatever time you want to say. Now what you can do over here? So far, we have been doing with time.
Now the same question can be used for place and instead of place instead of Tokyo that we did just
now, you can use Deri, which is Delhi. Pari, which is Paris. Rondon, which is London.

The language does not have the sound ‘L’ or the ‘letter l’. So, London becomes Rondon, Beijing and
Shingaporu. So, instead of Tokyo, whatever place you want to put you can put and ask the time of that
place or that city. Now over here you are asking time and you said Toukyou wa ima roku-ji desu.
(Refer Slide Time: 24:12)

Now there is something else that you can do over here. If you want to ask it is six o’clock in the
morning, will six o’clock roku-ji just satisfies, no it will not you have to add A.M. over there. So, what
do you say for A.M. in Japanese? Well, in Japanese A.M. is gozen and P.M. is gogo. Now what do you
do with that? Unlike English, gozen and gogo will be written or said before time that is, Ima gogo
roku-ji desu. Ima gogo roku-ji desu, Ima gogo roku-ji desu. Ima gogo shichi-ji desu. Ima gozen hachi-ji
desu.

(Refer Slide Time: 25:28)

Before time you will place gogo and gozen before time roku-ji, shichi-ji, hachi-ji desu.

(Refer Slide Time: 25:44)

So, now you can practice gozen and gogo with time, you could repeat after me, Ima gogo ichi-ji desu.
Ima gogo ni-ji desu. Ima gozen go-ji desu. Ima gozen roku-ji desu. Ima gozen ku-ji desu. Ima gozen
juu-ji desu. So, as you know the numbers, you can practice gozen and gogo like this.
(Refer Slide Time: 26:25)
Now you have this map right in front of you places are listed very nicely. You can please ask time. For
example, Cairo is three o’clock. Cairo wa ima nan-ji desu ka? Rondon roku-ji desu. Rondon wa ima
roku-ji desu ka? As we did places with time, you could easily look at this, look at the name of the place
and ask time or you could say ‘Rondon wa ima nan ji desu ka?’ whichever way you want to ask and
practice time. Then we have Beijing gozen go-ji. You can ask your partner New York gogo hachi-ji,
Toukyou gogo shichi-ji.

Please notice it is not Tokyo; in Japanese, it is Toukyou. gogo yo-ji New Delhi, Shingapo-ru gogo
ichi-ji, Bankoku gozen ju-ichi-ji, Sydney gozen hachi-ji. So, you have time over here you have the
place names over here and you can practice this simple conversation that we did in the previous slide
with your partner and practice time with gogo and gozen as you can see on the board as well.

(Refer Slide Time: 28:28)

Now practice one more thing with your partner.

Please see Mira san and Rao san are there. This is also a simple exercise and an interesting exercise.
You know the time of Tokyo or wherever you are staying for sure. So, you can put the name of that
place and ask time. For example, it is Tokyo over here. So Toukyou wa ima gozen ku-ji desu. Lahore
wa ima nan ji desu ka? or Rondon wa ima nan ji desu ka? or New York wa ima nan ji desu ka?, Pari wa
ima nan ji desu ka? You can ask your friend.

So, now simple expression over here. ‘Sou desu ne.’In case you do not know the time of the place the
person is asking well ‘sou desu ne’ would give you some time to think about what the time could be,
what the time difference is and then you could reply. So, this ‘sou desu ne, sou desu ne’ this
expression, one meaning of this expression is well you are asking for some time, you need some time to
think, Lahore wa ima gogo ichi-ji desu. So, simple answer can be given in this manner. You have
Toukyou, Indo, Rondon, Dakka over here you can practice with your friend with gogo, gozen and
gogo again.

(Refer Slide Time: 30:17)

Now in our conversation we had ‘kara and made’ which I explained very briefly. ‘Kara means from’
and ‘made means till’ as you can see over here. This can be used very nicely with time and you could
ask about what time does your office begin, what time does it end, what time does the school start,
what time does it finish,; what time you have your lunch break for how long is your lunch break? So,
you could answer from this time till this time. So, kara and made as you can see on your screens.
(Refer Slide Time: 31:08)
Now you can practice kara and made also, two particles ‘from and to or until’. So, with time ichi-ji
kara, ni-ji made. So, you will see that ‘kara and made both will follow time, both will be used after
time’. So, from one o’clock till two o’clock, you could practice like this. Use time and then you could
use kara and made as well. Now you could also put name of something what you want to know. For
example, gakkou, ginkou or yu could also use kaisha, ‘Kaisha wa ichi-ji kara, ni-ji made desu. My
office is from one o’clock till two o’clock’. Of course, it does not happen like this but for practice it is
alright. Gakkou wa hachi-ji kara, san ji made desu’ or ginkou wa hachi-ji kara go ji made desu. So, you
could practice like this and tell about gakkou, ginkou, kaisha, Class from what time till what time it is;
you could practice with your partner over here kara and made.
(Refer Slide Time: 33:07)
Kaigi, kaigi is meeting, ‘Kaigi wa nan ji kara nan ji made desu ka’? So, you could answer from what
time till what time, the time is given over here. You could speak out loud and tell from what time till
what time. Gakkou, gakkou is school as I told you earlier, time is again given ku-ji, yo-ji. So, you could
ask your partner and could get an answer for it. Then we have ginkou as I did just now on the board,
ginkou wa ku ji kara go-ji made desu. So, you could practice and with practice you will become
perfect.

(Refer Slide Time: 33:59)

Over here also there is practice, ‘Rao san no kurasu wa nan-ji kara nan-ji made desu ka? Ku-ji kara juu-
ichi-ji made desu. So, again kaishKa. anji also is given over here, kanji characters are given for time
ku-ji kara go-ji made, Gakkou wa hachi-ji kara ni-ji made desu, hachi-ji ni-ji, Kaigiwa san-ji yo-ji, san-
ji yo-ji. So, you could ask and get an answer ginkou, we did ginkou earlier also hachi-ji roku-ji, hachi-ji
roku-ji. So, you could practice this with your partner.

(Refer Slide Time: 34:54)

Now also we have been talking about offices, of schools, of class, of meetings. You could also tell time
for trains, for planes, for bus, you could also talk about programs, about presentations. So, in a similar
manner you could ask ‘hikouki wa nan ji desu ka?’ meaning what time is the plane, what time is the
train, what time is the departure, what time is your presentation, what time is the bangumi on TV?
Hikouki wa nan ji desu ka? Ku-ji desu. Densha and again you have it in kanji characters of course, you
do not have to worry about the characters so much. These characters are placed over here just for you
to get used to the kanjis. Just get the visual, the visual is always very strong, get used to it and when we
actually do the character in class, you will be familiar and, it will not come as a surprise. Shuppatsu
shuppatsu, happyou happyou, bangumi bangumi, bangumi means program.
(Refer Slide Time: 36:24)
Now replace the underlined words with the words given below. There is lot of practice for you today
because this is new and you have to be comfortable with the numbers with time. Simple conversation
‘gakkou wa nan ji kara desu ka?’ which we have been doing in this lesson. gakkou wa shichi-ji kara
desu. So, now what you have to do is ‘kaisha’ you have to tell time, ‘depa-to’ again you have to tell
time, Nihon-go kurasu again time, then you have ‘Jyuku’ which is coaching class and piano resaitaru.
So, you have the time listed over here you can ask your partner and practice like this. Now we have
done numbers till 100 numbers are important, why? Because you will be asking price; you will be
using counters, lot of things are to be done with numbers. So, we also have to do multiples of 1000.
(Refer Slide Time: 37:56)

We have done 100, multiple of 100 in our last chapter. We will do multiples of 1000. So, 1000 is sen;
you could repeat after me sen or issen issen is also used for 1000, ni-sen, san-zen. So, please notice it is
not sen, it is zen, san-zen, san-zen, yon-sen, go-sen, roku-sen. yYou could repeat after me roku-sen,
nana-sen, hassen and now you will see 8000 is a short sound hassen, kyuu-sen and it is not juu-sen but
it is ichi-man. So, the counter for 10000 is ‘man’ and ichi is for 1. Ichi-man means 10000. Ichi-man;
ni-man 20000; so, ni-man. So that is how you will practice your numbers please from 1000 till 10000.
(Refer Slide Time: 39:59)
Now the next one; useful expressions we have been doing. Today, we had two expressions arigatou and
douitashimashite. I explained those two to you earlier also. Now you will see how it is done. We have
these two people A san and B san and they are walking on the road and probably A san drop something
on the road and B san very nicely, gallantly he picks it up and gives it to A san. So, what does A san
have to say after that? Arigatou gozaimasu and what does B san say after that? B san says
douitashimashite; douitashimashite means it is alright or the pleasure is mine or mention not. Arigatou,
of course, you know means thank you.

So, these are two nice expressions which you should remember which you can use whenever you are in
Japan or you are practicing with Japanese people. Douitashimashite means the pleasure is mine or as I
told you earlier mention not.
(Refer Slide Time: 41:19)
Now we have kanji characters. I have been talking a lot about kanji and how it is made, how useful it is
in the language, why it is essential in the language? So, now you have to learn these characters, we
will be doing characters very slowly, very slowly and all the words that we have done in the lesson, we
will try to do those characters.

(Refer Slide Time: 41:49)

Now earlier I have told you about yama. So, the character for yama is like this 山. It is a three-stroke
character but how do you think it has come into being? Well, when you think of mountains that is how
you would draw mountains. Now this is the peak, and this is the base over here. So, it comes like this,
this is how a mountain is made in Japanese in actually Chinese, because these characters are all
borrowed from China. These are not original Japanese characters.

So, well once again for you one, two and three as I told you always the kanji character will end over
here. Once again one, two and three yama yama, so, any time you will look at this character now, I am
sure you will all understand that it has something to do with mountain. There are two readings for this
character ‘yama and san’ the words you could remember as Yamada san, and Mount Fuji. Mount Fuji
is Fuji san, it is not Fuji yama, it is Fuji san please remember that.

(Refer Slide Time: 43:44)

Now we have hon hon, 本 this character you have done in Nihon Nihon, Nihon is Japan. So, if you

remember we did this (hon) with ‘nichi (日)’ which we did last time. Nichi means day and hon over
here means origin or book, origin or book. So, now you can very easily understand what Nihon means,
this deal with san, this deals with origin. So, thus ‘Japan is called the land of the rising sun or actually
land where the sun rises first’. So, now I will draw it for you, hon- one, two, three, four and five, once

again one, two, three, four and five Nihon 日本 . This is a five-stroke character one, two, three, four
and five please do not make it like this or like this.
This is not how it is to be made, it is always to be made like this one, two, three, four and five that is
the stroke order. So, please remember the stroke order as well. Now we have one more character for
you. This character is what we have been doing in this lesson.

(Refer Slide Time: 45:49)

This is ‘ji’ meaning time. Now time because sun decides the time. So, definitely we have 日 this

character over here, then we have 寺 this over here. Now 日 this means sun you can you have done

already, 寺 this character means temple.. This also means temple and it is made with the help of two
thoughts the foot and the hand and what would the priests be doing depending on time, what they
would be doing with their hands and feet (ringing the bell to remind everyone that it is time for

prayers). That is why this character has been put for temple. So, 時 this is a single character.

So, when you join these two, it becomes ‘ji’ which is time, signifies or denotes time. So, ichi-ji ni-ji
that is how it is to be written. I will do the stroke order once again slowly one, two, three and four and
then one two. Do you remember this character? This is juu ten like this and like this ji, once again one,
two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine and ten. So, it is a ten-stroke character ten stroke character
meaning ji. It is a combination of nichi and temple. Now this
character please do not mistake it with ‘dai’ which we did earlier in our previous chapters. Dai 大

means big, 本 this means origin or book and it is very different, but it looks similar as is given over
here.

(Refer Slide Time: 48:30)

Now there are some words common words with these characters. Yamamoto is a name, Fujisan and
not Fuji yama, Yamanobori this word we did in our chapter earlier is mountaineering as you can see,
then with ‘hon’ we have honjitsu means today or this day, hondana means bookshelf, honmono means
the actual thing the genuine article, jikan means hour or time and jidai means era or age. So, you could
also add this to your vocabulary now some new words with kanji characters.
Of course, at the moment you do not need to remember all the kanji characters listed here on your
screen only the ones in purple you need to concentrate on. There is vocabulary for you we have done a
lot of new words. All this vocabulary you can practice at home. I will just give you pronunciation once.
(Refer Slide Time: 49:59)
Kaisha, you can repeat after me, kaisha, gakkou, yuubinkyoku, byouin, biyouin there is a difference in
pronunciation biyouin and byouin. Byouin is hospital and biyouin is a beauty salon, mise, su-pa, depa-
to, taishikan, toshoukan.

(Refer Slide Time: 50:57)

(Refer Slide Time: 51:00)

Now it is your time to be working, work in pairs and practice time over here. You can see on the watch;
it is very clearly given. So, I want you to practice with your partner at home and tell time over here.

(Refer Slide Time: 51:17)

Then we have practice in pairs using kara and made and ask your partner about the time of various
classes in school. So, you can ask what the schedule is for that day
(Refer Slide Time: 51:34)

And then of course you have these very sweet looking hands over here and they are telling time. You
can count the fingers one and also you can tell time from here, just count the fingers and add ji after
that and you will get time. So practice with your partner. I think it is enough for today, you done a lot
of things, done lot of practice, learnt a lot of new words. And we will end our class over here won’t
trouble you anymore. So, Minasan kore de owarimasu, Ashita mata aimashoo. Arigatou gozaimasu.

Thank you.
