==> I ate chocolate desert. – Chokore-to no deza-to o tabemashita.<\/p>\n

(\u30c1\u30e7\u30b3\u30ec\u30fc\u30c8\u306e\u3000\u30c7\u30b6\u30fc\u30c8\u3092\u3000\u98df\u3079\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u30c1\u30e7\u30b3\u30ec\u30fc\u30c8\u306e\u3000\u30c7\u30b6\u30fc\u30c8\u3092\u3000\u305f\u3079\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As you can see above, ”\u00a0tabemashita ” means , “I ate” in Japanese.<\/p>\n

“I ate ~ ” is simply said, ” ~ o tabemashita” in Japanese. Let’s try making some sentences using the words below.<\/p>\n

1) Tamago (\u5375\u3001\u305f\u307e\u3054\u3001egg)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2) Sakana (\u9b5a\u3001\u3055\u304b\u306a\u3001fish)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3) Niku (\u8089\u3001\u306b\u304f\u3001meat)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4) Pan (\u30d1\u30f3\u3001bread)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5) Yasai (\u91ce\u83dc\u3001\u3084\u3055\u3044\u3001vegetables)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Were you able to make sentences like:<\/p>\n

1) Tamago o tabemashita.- \u5375\u3092\u3000\u98df\u3079\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u305f\u307e\u3054\u3092\u3000\u305f\u3079\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002<\/p>\n

2) Sakana o tabemashita.\u3000\u9b5a\u3092\u3000\u98df\u3079\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u3055\u304b\u306a\u3000\u3092\u305f\u3079\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002<\/p>\n

3) Niku o tabemashita.\u3000\u8089\u3092\u3000\u98df\u3079\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u306b\u304f\u3092\u3000\u305f\u3079\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002<\/p>\n

4) Pan o tabemashita.\u3000\u30d1\u30f3\u3092\u3000\u98df\u3079\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u30d1\u30f3\u3092\u3000\u305f\u3079\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002<\/p>\n

5) Yasai o tabemashita.\u3000\u91ce\u83dc\u3092\u3000\u98df\u3079\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u3084\u3055\u3044\u3092\u3000\u305f\u3079\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So, what if you have more than one thing you want to list:<\/p>\n

In that case, we would use “to(\u3068)<\/strong>” in between the words.<\/p>\n

For example:<\/p>\n

I ate fish and vegetables.<\/p>\n

==> Sakana to<\/strong> yasai o tabemashita.<\/p>\n

(\u9b5a\u3000\u3068<\/strong>\u3000\u91ce\u83dc\u3092\u3000\u98df\u3079\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u3055\u304b\u306a\u3000\u3068<\/strong>\u3000\u3084\u3055\u3044\u3092\u3000\u305f\u3079\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002)<\/p>\n

Let’s try the following words in the same sentence below:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1)Mango to Ichigo (mango \u30de\u30f3\u30b4 & strawberries\u3000\u30a4\u30c1\u30b4)<\/p>\n

2)Ice cream to piza (ice cream\u3000\u30a2\u30a4\u30b9\u30af\u30ea\u30fc\u30e0\u3000 & pizza\u3000\u30d4\u30b6)<\/p>\n

3)Spageti- to gyoza (spaghetti\u3000\u30b9\u30d1\u30b2\u30c3\u30c6\u30a3\u3000& Gyoza\u3000\u304e\u3087\u3046\u3056 )<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The sentences will be like:<\/p>\n

1)I ate mango and strawberries.<\/p>\n

==> Mango to Ichigo o\u00a0tabemashita.<\/p>\n

(\u30de\u30f3\u30b4\u3068\u30a4\u30c1\u30b4\u3092\u98df\u3079\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u30de\u30f3\u30b4\u3068\u30a4\u30c1\u30b4\u3092\u305f\u3079\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2)I ate ice cream and pizza.<\/p>\n

==> Ice cream to piza\u00a0o\u00a0tabemashita.<\/p>\n

(\u30a2\u30a4\u30b9\u30af\u30ea\u30fc\u30e0\u3068\u30d4\u30b6\u3092\u98df\u3079\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u30a2\u30a4\u30b9\u30af\u30ea\u30fc\u30e0\u3068\u30d4\u30b6\u3092\u305f\u3079\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3)I ate\u00a0spaghetti and gyoza.<\/p>\n

==> Spageti- to gyoza\u00a0\u00a0o\u00a0tabemashita.<\/p>\n
