Quote marker \u3068<\/strong>can be used to quote someone\u2019s speech :<\/p>\n

\u52c5\u4f7f\u6cb3\u539f\u3055\u3093\u306f\u6765\u9031\u6765\u308b\u3068\u8a00\u3044\u307e\u3057\u305f<\/strong> = Mr. Teshigawara said that he will come next week.<\/p>\n

(\u3066\u3057\u304c\u308f\u3089<\/strong>\/\u52c5\u4f7f\u6cb3\u539f<\/strong> = Testhigawara. \u3055\u3093<\/strong> = Mr. \u306f<\/strong> = particle. \u3089\u3044\u3057\u3085\u3046<\/strong>\/\u6765\u9031<\/strong>= next week. \u304f\u308b<\/strong>\/\u6765\u308b<\/strong> = to come. \u3068<\/strong> = quote marker. \u3044\u3044\u307e\u3057\u305f<\/strong>\/\u8a00\u3044\u307e\u3057\u305f<\/strong> = said.)<\/p>\n

The sentence above is an example of an indirect quote. To quote someone indirectly, use this general formula :<\/p>\n

plain form of the verb, adjective or copula + \u3068\u8a00\u3046<\/strong><\/p>\n

The sentence above is an example of someone being quoted indirectly, but this next sentence is used when someone is quoting another person by using their exact words :<\/p>\n

\u300c\u65e9\u304f\u5bdd\u3066\u304f\u3060\u3055\u3044<\/strong>\u3002\u300d\u3068\u52c5\u4f7f\u6cb3\u539f\u3055\u3093\u306f\u8a00\u3044\u307e\u3057\u305f<\/strong> = Mr. Teshigawara said, \u201cPlease sleep early.\u201d<\/p>\n

(\u306f\u3084\u304f<\/strong>\/\u65e9\u304f<\/strong> = \u00a0early. \u306d\u3066\u304f\u3060\u3055\u3044<\/strong>\/\u5bdd\u3066\u304f\u3060\u3055\u3044<\/strong> = Please sleep.)<\/p>\n

If the sentence above was an indirect quote, it would say, \u201cMr. Teshigawara said to sleep early.\u201d Also, this symbol\u00a0 \u300c\u300dis equivalent to the quotation mark\u00a0 \u201c \u201d used in English.<\/p>\n

Quote marker \u3068<\/strong> can also be used to express thoughts :<\/p>\n

\u305d\u306e\u4eba\u306f\u72af\u4eba\u3060\u3068\u601d\u3063\u305f<\/strong>= I thought that person was a criminal<\/p>\n

(\u305d\u306e<\/strong> = that .\u00a0 \u3072\u3068<\/strong>\/\u4eba<\/strong> = person. \u306f<\/strong> = particle.\u00a0 \u306f\u3093\u306b\u3093<\/strong>\/\u72af\u4eba<\/strong> = criminal. \u3060<\/strong> = past tense affirmative of \u3067\u3059<\/strong>. \u3068<\/strong> = quote marker. \u304a\u3082\u3063\u305f<\/strong>\/\u601d\u3063\u305f<\/strong> = thought)<\/p>\n

To express that you don\u2019t think something is the case, use ~\u306a\u3044\u3068\u601d\u3044\u307e\u3059<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u52c5\u4f7f\u6cb3\u539f\u3055\u3093\u306f\u8d77\u304d\u306a\u3044\u3068\u601d\u3044\u307e\u3059<\/strong> = I don\u2019t think Mr. Teshigawara will wake up (literally : I think Mr. Teshigawara will not wake up)<\/p>\n

(\u3066\u3057\u304c\u308f\u3089<\/strong>\/\u52c5\u4f7f\u6cb3\u539f<\/strong> = Teshigawara. \u3055\u3093<\/strong> = Mr. \u306f <\/strong>= particle. \u304a\u304d\u306a\u3044<\/strong>\/\u8d77\u304d\u306a\u3044<\/strong> = not wake up. \u3068<\/strong> = quote marker. \u304a\u3082\u3044\u307e\u3059<\/strong>\/\u601d\u3044\u307e\u3059<\/strong> = think.)<\/p>\n
