Lesson 12: is/are

Step 1: When you describe something you simply use the word "wa". Wa is written as は in Japanese, and it is NOT written as わ.

  Note: If you need "ha" to spell a word, then you can use は. But if you need to say something "is" xxx, then you write "wa" as は.


Step 2: After "wa" you add the adjective you want to use.

Step 3: Add "desu" ですto make standard Japanese. "Desu" also has the meaning of  "is" or "are".
