Jap Jap Jap lesson 19.. te form usage

te-form has a couple of usage..

actually its one of the most useful form in japanese..
however te-form itself doesnt mean anything if use in a sentence alone..
most of the time its use to join two sentences..

firstly i'll introduce ~te kudasai...
~te kudasai can be use to ask for help, instructing or offering...

Asking
sumimasenga, kono kami o kitte kudasai..
ee, ii desuyo..
sorry, but could u cut this paper for me..
oh ok its fine..

Instructing
koko ni namae o kaite kudasai
hai, wakarimashita
please write your name here..
ok.. i got it..

Offering
douzo takusan tabete kudasai
arigatou gozaimasu
here, eat all you wan
thank you...

now for the ~te imasu form.. this is a continual state..

for example.. if u are saying watashi wa benkyou shite imasu..
it means i'm study-ING...
its similar to the -ing form.. but its continual state...
pretty easy.. juz tat theres some note..
(sumimasu) which means live.. and a te form of sunde.. when u say i live there.. u cant say watashi koko de sumimasu.. it would mean like i'm going to live there for the future.. if u're going to say i'm living there/i live there.. its sunde imasu...
similar note is for shirimasu which means know.. when u answer yes i know (whatever the other party is asking)
you answer shitte imasu. and not shirimasu.. however when u say no i don't.. u don't say shitte imasen.. which is the negative form but its shirimasen instead..
note: i'll explain why so.. when i meant continual state earlier, i meant the speaker is in the state of doing the verb.. so when u know something u are in the state of knowing.. like you are in the state of living.. while why is it not shitte imasen is because u have never been in the state of not knowing but just plainly not knowing.. sounds kinda contradicting.. but i cant really explain much more..

yes anyway imasu form of imasen, imashita, imasen deshita can be use here.. for past tense..
however be very careful with this form because simple things like kekkon shimasen and kekkon shite imasen and kekkon shite imashita are totally different..
kekkon shimasen means she/he is not going to marry someone..
kekkon shite imasen means she/he is not yet married..
kekkon shite imashita means she/he was once married..

and for the final 2 usage..
pretty useful and easy usage..
firstly forming sentences..

kyou wa terebi o mite, gohan o tabete, nemashita...
today i watched the tv, ate my lunch and slept...
its easy to grasp.. the only thing is that the te-form has no tense.. so all the tense here will be at the end verb..

and the last usage will be
-tekara for only 2 verb.. which mean i did something after this (probably in succession)
gohan o tabete kara, nemasu
i'll sleep after i eat my dinner..

practice more.. talk more..
heres more verb for u ppl to practice..
its quite a list

roomaji - meaning - group
tsukemasu - turn on - 2
keshimasu - turn off - 1
akemasu - open - 2
shimemasu - close - 2
isogimasu - hurry - 1
machimasu - wait - 1
tomemasu - park, stop - 2
magarimasu - turn - 1
mochimasu - hold, possess - 1
torimasu - take, pass - 2
tetsudaimasu - help - 1
yobimasu - call - 1
hanashimasu - speak, talk - 1
misemasu - show - 2
oshiemasu - tell/teach - 2
hajimemasu - start/begin - 2
furimasu - rain - 1
tachimasu - stand up - 1
suwarimasu - sit down - 1
tsukaimasu - use - 1
okimasu - put - 1 (different from the okimasu wake up)
tsukurimasu - make, produce - 1
urimasu - sell - 1
shirimasu - get to know - 1
sumimasu - be going to live - 1
kenkyushimasu - do research - 3
norimasu - ride get on a train - 1
orimasu - get off - 2
norikaemasu - change (trains) - 2
abimasu - take (a shower) - 2
iremasu - put in, insert - 2
dashimasu - take out, withdraw - 1 (also meant submit or posting)
hairimasu - enter/go in - 1
demasu - go out/exit/graduate - 2
yamemasu - quit/retire - 2
oshimasu - press/push - 1

theres probably some miss verb or repeated 1 here and there..
and theres a couple of verbs tat take special particles and not wo..
like when u say i'm entering a coffeeshop u say kissaten ni hairimasu instead of kissaten wo hairimasu..
however when u go out its kissaten o demasu.. so theres special particles.. but i wont be covering at the moment yet.. its more better for you people to learn the verbs first..

i'll probably do a te-form revision soon.. if theres people who read.. sorry with the late posting..
and i'll post a review soon.. i've just edited the entire blog.. so keep close look as i might update once a few weeks..

Jap Jap Jap lesson 19.. te form..

well this is basically the most useful and most used form in japanese.. and one of the form that could make a lot of different sentences..

well.. its very hard to explain how to change from masu-form to te-form but i'll try to keep it short..

all verbs in japanese have a group..
one, two or three.
the first group is called godan group..
the second group is called ichidan group
the third is the kuru, suru group which is the most common so don't worry.

for the godan group.
Any regular verbs that do not end with "-ru" are godan verbs. Furthermore, for verbs that do end with "-ru", if the preceeding syllable is not from the "i" or "e" rows of the kana table, i.e. "ki", "shi", "chi", "ni", etc., or "ke", "se", "te", "ne", etc. then the verb is . What you have to be careful of are a minority of "-ru" verbs whose preceeding syllables are in the godan "i" or "e" rows which are godan verbs anyway. There is no way to know, except simply to remember when such verbs fall in this category. The above is couched in terms of Japanese writing, but this can be a little simpler to understand at first if we use roomaji. All regular verbs whose roomaji representations end in anything other than "-iru" or "-eru" are godan verbs. Additionally there are a relatively small number of cases where verbs end in "-iru" or "-eru" that are godan verbs anyway. The following are godan verbs:

話す	hanasu	to speak
歩く	aruku	to walk
泳ぐ	oyogu	to swim
呼ぶ	yobu	to call
飲む	nomu	to drink
死ぬ	shinu	to die
作る	tsukuru	to make
待つ	matsu	to wait
洗う	arau	to wash

for the ichidan group.
Obviously, any regular verb that is not godan is ichidan. Following the converse of the above, all ichidan verbs end in "-ru", and the syllable that preceeds the "-ru" is from either the "i" or "e" row. In terms of roomaji, all ichidan verbs end in "-iru" or "-eru". The following are ichidan verbs:

飽きる	akiru	to grow tired of
できる	dekiru	to be able
食べる	taberu	to eat
教える	oshieru	to teach

In japanese, there are some homophonic pairs made up of one godan verb and one ichidan verb. Such is the case with the verb "iru" ("to exist" for animate subjects) and "iru" ("to need"). The former is ichidan, the latter is godan. Obviously each verb in such a pair is written with different kanji (for verbs written in kanji), even though the readings are the same. Furthermore, homophonic verbs may take differing pitch accents. Here are a few more:

Ichidan		Godan
着る kiru (to put on)	vs.	切る kiru (to cut)
変える kaeru (to change)	vs.	帰る kaeru (to return)
寝る neru (to sleep)	vs.	練る neru (to knead, to polish up)

well this may take time to digest.. since i'm teaching u all the dictionary form too.. just take note of such at the moment..
NOTE FOR MORE INFO
for those interested.. all verbs are converted to their respective needed form from the dictionary form.. for example.. nemasu.. is obtained from neru(to sleep).. neru is a ichidan group. so its a case of ru dropping.. so its ne-ru(remove)-masu.. to form nemasu..

now for the verb tat we have learnt so far..
ikimasu - go
kimasu - come
kaerimasu - return home
okimasu - wake up
nemasu - sleep
hatarakimasu - work
yasumimasu - rest
benkyoushimasu - study
owarimasu - end

tabemasu-eat
nomimasu-drink
suimasu-smoke
mimasu-watch
kikimasu-listen
yomimasu-read
kakimasu-write,draw
kaimasu-buy
torimasu-take a(photo)
shimasu- do
aimasu-meet

heres some new 1..
kirimasu-to cut
kakemasu-to make (a call)
agemasu-to give (a present)
moraimasu-to receive (a present)
karimasu-to borrow
kashimasu-to lend
omoimasu- to think
arimasu- to have (for inanimated object)
imasu- to have (for animated object)
kaimonoshimasu-to shop
okurimasu-to send (something)
sanposhimasu-to stroll
kekkonshimasu-to marry
so how do u use this? and change it to te-form..

wad we needa do now is to noe wads the group of each verb..
ikimasu - 1
kimasu - 2
kaerimasu - 1
okimasu - 2
nemasu - 2
hatarakimasu - 1
yasumimasu - 1
benkyoushimasu - 3
owarimasu - 1
tabemasu- 2
nomimasu- 1
suimasu- 1
mimasu- 2
kikimasu- 1
yomimasu- 1
kakimasu- 1
kaimasu- 1
torimasu- 1
shimasu- 3
aimasu- 1
kirimasu- 1
kakemasu- 2
agemasu- 2
moraimasu- 2
karimasu- 2
kashimasu- 2
omoimasu- 1
arimasu- 1
imasu- 2
kaimonoshimasu- 3
okurimasu- 3
sanposhimasu- 3
kekkonshimasu- 3

so now u know the group.. now to learn how to convert..

for group 1 godan

erb Type	te-base
Ichidan	-て -te
-shi Godan	-して -shite
-ki Godan	-いて -ite
-gi Godan	-いで -ide
-bi Godan	-んで -nde
-mi Godan	-んで -nde
-ni Godan	-んで -nde
-ri Godan	-って -tte
-ti Godan	-って -tte
-i Godan	-って -tte

heres how it is..
so for example
kirimasu- for godan ri last ending will form a te-form of kitte
similar to torimasu which will be totte
kashimasu- will be kashite
nomimasu- will be nonde
and so on
this is for group 1
however ikimasu is a special word.. with itte as its te-form..

for group 2 ichidan
remove the masu and add the te..
eg. nemasu-nete
okimasu-okite
tabemasu-tabete

for group 3 special kuru and suru
for kimasu it will be kite and shimasu will be shite..
so for benkyoushimasu, sanposhimasu, kekkonshimasu, kaimonoshimasu
they will be benkyoushite, sanposhite, kekkonshite, kaimonshite
and oso for this kind of phrase. tenisu wo shimasu will be tenisu wo shite..

ok this is a kind of a long post.. so try to get use to te-form.. cause next lesson on will be all on te-form..

u can scrape the eru-iru thing if u're not confident.. and learn another method that my teacher taught me.. which is to determine the vowel before the -masu form.. if it is from the e-line, it is from group 2. if its from the i-line, its from group 1.. however there're of exception here and there which'll have to remember by heart due to the iru dropping case..

either way, just make sure u get -te form convertion in your brain, as it'll be very very importat.

Jap Jap Jap lesson 18.. ga hoshii, ga suki, comparing

ok.. here i'm going to start lesson 18.. on hoshii (want), suki (like) and then comparing

so.. first

hoshii...
we all know that ga is a subject indicator.. so the word before hoshii is the subject..

so for example..
watashi wa jitensha ga hoshii desu...
i want a bicycle.. lit. as for me, bicycle i want..

the basic form is
watashi wa noun ga hoshii desu..
note: this can only be use by the speaker..
kare wa kuruma ga hoshii desu is wrong in this case.
[this is because hoshii is an emotion want.. and u cant know what the other party want unless u're him yourself.. there're other verb forms that u'll have to use to say others wanting something]

past tense would be same as the i-adjective.. hoshikatta..
negative form of hoshii is hoshiku nai and past negative being hoshinakatta

suki
for suki which means like.. its is similar to hoshii
watashi wa (whatever) ga suki desu..
however.. u could use this for whoever..
so in this case kare wa mango ga suki desu is right..

past tense would be the same as na-adjective.. past tense and the rest are similar like na-adjective as well

so about comparing..
heres some sentences..
shingapore wa nihon yori chisaii desu..
singapore is smaller than japan..
chuugoku wa nihon yori hito ga ooi desu.. (ooi - more[people])
china have more people than japan..

now by adding zutto.. it would be like that
chuugoku wa shingapore yori zutto hito ga ooi desu
china have ALOT ALOT more people than singapore
note the different with zutto?
another example..
sono kuruma wa ano kuruma yori zutto takai desu..

now for own feelings or own preferences.. japan uses hou (side)...
meaning which side u take..
for example..
mango to banana dochira ga suki desuka?
mango no hou ga suki desu.. if u like mango more or
banana no hou ga suki desu.. if u like banana more or
dochira mo suki desuga mango no hou ga suki desu.. if u like both but mango more.. (u want the listener to know too) or
dochira mo suki ja arimasen..

u could use motto for more if u don't want to use zutto which is means a distinct difference..

Jap Jap Jap lesson 17.. ～tai form... particle ga..

ok.. i'm going to delicate this post to ～たい/ -tai form
i'm sorry if i miss out anythings prior to this lesson.. read up the rest on other sites to learn new things or comment and tell me what u didnt understand..

ok.. what is this -tai form that i'm talking about.. firstly.. -tai form a form to indicate wanting to do something.. but how do u know what to put in front of tai.. firstly it works like that, remember all the verbs we learn so far, u change it by removing the masu and put in tai, eg. ikimasu >> ikitai -- after the transformation.. tai form is easy for beginning because tai form is just replacing masu with tai.. so for the others verb its
tabemasu >> tabetai -- i want to eat
nomimasu >> nomitai -- i want to drink
and so on...

so how to u form sentences.. its quite easy.. for example i want to go to london will be
watashi wa london he ikitai.. >> i want to go to london..
watashi wa london he ikimasu.. >> i go to london..
see the differences?

so lets try.. kekii o tabetai.. kohii o nomitai.. shinbun o yomitai..
past tenses now.. -tai form have past tense too.. tai act just like nai.. only tat the t is n..
so the past tense would be.. tabetakatta, since we get negative past tense by adding katta to nai while replacing the i..
the present negative.. tabetaku nai,
the past negative.. tabetakunakatta,
should be easy.. if u grasp the i-adjection from the previous lesson.
ok.. since -tai is quite easy.. let me add a particle tat important for the next lesson.. the ga particle..

1: indicates sentence subject (occasionally object); 2: indicates possessive (esp. in literary expressions); () 3: but; however; still; and

here ga's meaning.. we learnt the 3rd in adjective.. and so we are going to learn the first.. sentence subject.. what do it meant by sentence subject.. its a subject.. u must be curious.. cause from the first day in jap.. i've been using wa as a subject marker.. so far.. actually wa is a topic marker.. so it just mark whatever in front a topic while ga is marking whatever in front a subject..

heres an example.. watashi wa dare ga suki desuka.. who do i like? who is a subject therefore used ga.. but why cant we use wa.. because wa is a topic marker.. if u write watashi wa dare wa suki desuka? u are meaning as for i, as for who i like? well it doesnt really make sense.. who is who to be marked as a topic.. u don't even know who is who.. thus ga is used.. anyway just get it in if u still cant understand.. and for extra information, wa emphasis what is coming after the wa while ga emphasis what is before the ga.. which makes sense for the above sentence..

some sentences will have ga to mark its subject.. purely a subject marking while wa can have other uses.. note: for unknown object/subject.. it will be mark with ga..

ok.. lets give u some example..
nani ga suki desuka.. (suki (na) - like)
nani ga hoshii desuka.. (hoshii - want)

i will go more into those in the next lesson.. just learn up -tai form.. its very convenient..

Jap Jap Jap lesson 16.. i adjective and na adjective past tense..

hansamu (na) - handsome
kirei (na) - beautiful, clean (special)
shizuka (na) - quiet
nigiyaka (na) - lively
yuumei (na) - famous (special)
shinsetsu (na) - kind
genki (na) - healthy, sound, cheerful
hima (na) - free
benri (na) - convenient
suteki (na) - fine, nice, wonderful
ookii - big
chisai - small
atarashii - new
furui - old(not of age)
ii(yoi) - good
warui - bad
atsui - hot
samui - cold(referring to temperature)
tsumetai - cold(referring to touch)
muzukashii - difficult
yasashii - easy, kind
kantan (na) is also easy
takai - expensive, high, tall
yasui - inexpensive
hikui - low
omoshiroi - interesting
oishii - delicious, tasty
isogashii - busy
tanoshii - enjoyable, fun

still remember this set of words???
today we will be learning on past tense of adjective.. like verb in -masu form, past tense of masu is -mashita they have past tense too.. adjective too have past tense..

firstly to learn past tense first, we should learn negative adjective...
i-adjective:
for i adjective.. eg oishii, isogashii.. in order to make it not tasty or not busy, u changes the i(い） at the back of the adjective into ku(く） then add a arimasen or nai (negative) into the phrase..
thus getting oishiku nai/arimasen and isogashiku nai/arimasen
note: ii will changes to yoku nai for negative.. thus the bracket on the initial list..

na-adjective:
for na adjective..eg kirei (na), hima (na).. in order to make it not beautiful or not free, u add ja/dewa arimasen like how u say kore wa pen ja arimasen..
thus getting kirei ja arimasen and hima ja arimasen..

so lets form some sentences...
kyou wa isogashiku nai desu..
today isn't busy
ashita watashi wa hima ja arimasen..
tomorrow i'm not free
note: why there is no desu? because ja arimasen replaces desu.. like kore wa pen desu.. kore wa pen ja arimasen.. since ja arimasen is the negative of desu.. desu is replaces.. however for i-adjectives the desu i still behind.. its because the adjectives itself become negative.. not the desu.. thus desu is still added behind unless u change it to adjective ku arimasen..

now for past tense:
i-adjective:
for i-adjective its pretty much the same when changing to past tense.. once again its related to the i(い）.. all remember how u changes the i to ku? this time for past tense for i-adjective, change the i to katta..
so u will get eg. samukatta or atsukatta..
for negative its samukunai.. there is a i(い） at the back.. so u changes the i to katta.. u get samuku nakatta.. or atsuku nakatta..

na-adjective:
for na-adjective its also pretty much the same when changing to past tense..
for positive sentences, the desu will change to the past tense deshita.. like how masu change to mashita.. so for negative.. ja arimasen will be ja arimasen deshita
eg.. yuumei deshita or nigiyaka ja arimasen deshita

ok lets form some sentences..
kinou wa samukatta desu..
it was cool yesterday
ototoi wa atsukunakatta desu..
it wasnt hot the day be4
senshuu no getsuyoubi kare wa genki deshita..
he was lively last monday
kinou koko wa nigiyaka ja arimasen deshita..
this place wasnt crowded yesterday

ok.. so go practicing.. ganbatte ne...

Jap Jap Jap Review 1.. maybe 2

ok.. writing this post because someone told me she didnt understand how to use those sentences..

so ok.. here a list of must know words in japanese:
watashi - i
anata - you
kyou - today
ashita - tml
kinou - ytd

here a list of muz know particles in japanese and their basic usage:
ha (pronounced wa) - topic marker
ga - subject marker (diff from ha.. but not much of diff at this level at the moment)
ni - indicate location of short term action
wo (pronounced o) - indicate direct object
he (pronounced e) - indicate direction
de - indicates means of action, indicates location of action
kara, made - from, to
kara - because
to - and, with

so.. ok.. lets form japanese phrase with english verbs and nouns...

here the equation for a normal plain japanese sentence...
(Assuming u know the normal way of forming watashi wa X desu)
[time expression] + [noun(subject) wa] + [someone to] + [time of action(can be excluded if time is not crucial or need not be known) ni] + [noun(most probably object being done on) wo/he verb]
its somewhere in the lessons before...

so let's see.. let's say u want to say i ate dinner..
it will be watashi wa dinner o ate... in japanese.. its sounds funny but that because u are using english word in a japanese phrase.. u can try practising like tgat until u remember the normal vocabulary.. remember wa indicates a topic.. so watashi(I) is the topic here.. so u referring.. as for me, the topic, the o here indicates a direct object dinner which is in front.. japanese aren't preposition more of postposition so get use... when u indicates dinner as the object u are done with the verb and u'll get, dinner ate.. so in these case the whole sentence would be

as for me, the topic, i ate the object, dinner..
which means
i ate dinner..

so put it another way.. lets say now u wan to say i going to eat dinner wif my frens tml at 6pm..
[time expression] + [noun(subject) wa] + [someone to] + [time of action(can be excluded if time is not crucial or need not be known) ni] + [noun(most probably object being done on) wo/he verb]
using the formula,
the sentence would be
ashita watashi wa friend to 6pm ni dinner o eat..
in real japanese sentence, it is
ashita watashi wa tomodachi to rokuji ni ban gohan o tabemasu..
with friends being tomodachi and ban gohan being dinner and tabemasu being eat...

now.. u can swap the expression around as long as the verb is being.. for eg..
watashi wa tomodachi to ashita rokuji ni ban gohan o tabemasu, or
tomodachi to ashita rokuji ni watashi wa ban gohan o tabemasu...
the order is just to sort in terms of importance..
for example
the first sentence at the top is to say tomorrow is the key to the sentence
the second is that u,watashi is the key or the main information u are trying to relay
the third is where u're prioritizing your friend as the key
what to reply in what order depends on what u want to tell the other party.. or the question asked before..

practice more and u will get the hang of it.. try forming sentence without the verbs in the other lesson first using english if u're not good with japanese vocab yet

try forming
i going picnic tomorrow at 8am
i went for a swim this morning
i slept at 12midnight last night
i am sleeping soon
i ate bread and egg for the past few days
in normal english mix japanese..

it should be like that
watashi wa ashita 8am picnic he go.. not o but he because its indicate direction
watashi wa this morning swim he went..
last night watashi wa 12midnight ni slept..
soon watashi wa sleeping..
for the past few days watashi wa bread to egg o ate..

create your own jap+english sentences.. that all for review 1 maybe 2 cause i did a review before but this is the first review on its own post so maybe its 1 or 2... haha...

Jap Jap Jap lesson 15.. adjectives.. i and na... construction..

hansamu (na) - handsome
kirei (na) - beautiful, clean
shizuka (na) - quiet
nigiyaka (na) - lively
yuumei (na) - famous
shinsetsu (na) - kind
genki (na) - healthy, sound, cheerful
hima (na) - free
benri (na) - convenient
suteki (na) - fine, nice, wonderful
ookii - big
chisai - small
atarashii - new
furui - old(not of age)
ii(yoi) - good
warui - bad
atsui - hot
samui - cold(referring to temperature)
tsumetai - cold(referring to touch)
muzukashii - difficult
yasashii - easy, kind
kantan (na) is also easy
takai - expensive, high, tall
yasui - inexpensive
hikui - low
omoshiroi - interesting
oishii - delicious, tasty
isogashii - busy
tanoshii - enjoyable, fun

here are some common adjectives.. there are 2 types of adjectives.. na-adjectives and i-adjectives..

na-adjectives:
they are adjectives that don't end with a i（い） at the back.. but there are some special case like kirei na and yuumei na that are... so just note that there are exceptions these adjectives sometimes are originated from english like hansamu na.. but other than that i dunno of any others... maybe foreign words that are adjectives are all na-adjectives ( just maybe i'm not that sure)

i-adjectives:
they are adjectives that end with a i(い）at the back.. there are some special words that are not i-adjectives like kirei and yuumei.. if i come about with some words i will notify u people..

both type form sentences differently.. so look on..
construction wise.. here is how both adjectives form normal plain sentences

na-adjectives:
tanaka san ha kirei desu..
tanaka is beautiful..
koko ha shizuka desu..
its quiet here..

i-adjectives:
tanaka san ha yasashii desu..
tanaka is kind..
kyou ha atsui desu..
today is hot/ its hot today..

not much of a different.. in fact the same in this case of A ha ADJECTIVE desu.. both types are the same in terms of construction..
however if its this kind of construction ADJECTIVE A ha VERB desu, the different will be clear.. in an ADJECTIVE (NOUN) construction, for na-adjectives, the word na is need before the noun..

so for example..
kono takai nekkutai ha kaimashita.. (words taught before)
i bought this expensive necktie..

kare ha yuumei na hito desu.. (kare-he, hito-person)
he is a famous person..

note: a na in between the adjective and noun is not needed for all i-adjectives when it is an ADJECTIVE (NOUN) construction.. it'll just simply be a i-adjectives + noun, unlike na-adjectives + na + noun.

try forming these sentences..
this pen is big..
peter is lively..
japanese is difficult..
i eat this delicious meat.. (meat-niku)
i'm going to this famous place tml (place-tokoro)

possible sentences to questions: (i've highlighted the i and na adjective.. purp-i, blue-na)
kono pen ha ooki desu..
pi-ta san ha genki desu..
nihongo ha muzukashii desu..
watashi ha oishii niku o tabemasu..
ashita watashi ha yuumei na tokoro he ikimasu..

now to combine two descriptive sentences into one...
for example:
this place is clean and famous..
koko ha kirei desu.. koko ha yuumei desu..
to add an and in the sentences.. most of u think of to the 'and' particle.. it is wrong as to is only used to group nouns and not adjectives.. we will be using a new word called soshite, for 'and'.. for 'but', we will be using ..ga..
since the top 2 sentences are added with 'and', a positive and positive adjective, soshite is used..
koko ha kirei desu soshite yuumei desu..
soshite is attached after the first sentence then joined by the next without the topic(koko
)

now look at this two sentences..
kono niku ha oishii desu.. kono niku ha takai desu..
right now the situation is a negative and positive adjective.. thus ..ga is used..
so the sentence will be like this
kono niku ha oishii desuga takai desu..
the ga is attached after the first sentence.. then join joined by the next without the topic(kono niku) similar to soshite..
