I’m Blaming the Keyboard
I was trying to write, “I want to learn Japanese” and ended up with something closer to, “I want to die to learn Japanese”, because I wasn’t paying enough attention when typing up the sentence.
As much as I love Japanese, I don’t think I’m ready to go quite that far yet, no matter what my subconscious thinks, though I might consider a Faustian deal for good health and a better memory!
God only knows what I’d end up with if I tried to write that in Japanese!
I guess I’m just not ready for sentences yet :)
And I still don’t know if either one is correct, because do you conjugate the first verb as well as the irregular “to do - する” with the Base 2 ending? Microsoft Word seems to think so, and is 学び the right "learn" in this case? And what about 学ぶ in the 2nd sentence, should that be changed as well? How do I even put together that last sentence properly? Questions, questions, questions... *sigh*.
私は日本語を学びしたいです。
わたし は にほんご まなび したいです。
I want to learn Japanese.
私は日本語を学ぶ死にしたいです。
わたし は にほんご まなぶ しにしたいです。
I want to die to learn Japanese. (?)
