Have fun all, buckle your seatbelts. YOSHAAAAAA. 
Last week, I talked about ichidan verbs & very briefly went through godan verbs for you. This week, 
I hope to cover te form for all godan verbs. Alright, we know what te form does and we know how to 
make ichidan verbs to be in te form. 

--------------------------------------- [ Godan Verbs : Te Form of ku (ending) ] ---------------------------------------

There are a few different ways godan verbs will conjugate to te form. 

Let's start with verbs ending with ku.  All verbs ending with ku, and only verbs ending with ku, 
conjugate to te form by removing ku and adding ite.

	suku 	  (to empty)	     -> 	suite
	kiku 	  (to listen / ask)     -> 	kiite
	kawaku   (to dry up)	     -> 	kawaite

Making verbs past tense is very easy in Japanese. All you do is make te be ta. conjugate the verb 
exactly as you would for the te form, but make the te be a ta, and then you're done.

	suku 	     -> 	suite                  (present tense)
	suku 	     -> 	suita    		 (past tense)              

A very common expression: onaka suita , used when one is hungry.
Literally it means your stomach became empty.

Another common expression: nodo ga kawaita , used when one is thirsty.
Literally, it means that your throat became dry.

In anime you may hear "kiite iru ka" or "kiiteruka" . It's the te form of kiku + iru. 
Which we know is ing form, and ka makes it a question.

	kiiteru ka
	are you listening?

So, what you should remember is  ku   ->   ite.
The next te form will be for verbs ending with gu.

---------------------------------- [ Godan Verbs : Te Form of gu & su (ending) ] ------------------------------------

What's the difference between ku and gu? 	a tenten
What's the difference between their te forms? 	ite and ide. (also a tenten)

If you learned your hiragana properly, you should understand that & it should be easy to remember.
If you haven't finished yet, that's okay, just remember it for later or something.

oyogu means to swim. in te form, it is oyoide. Maybe in gym the teach tells you "oyoide kudasai"

	oyogu	-> oyoide

Remember, gu -> ide

Next are verbs ending with su.  su -> shite

	hanasu		->	 hanashite kudasai
	to speak		 please speak	

				 hanashite iru
				 speaking

	tamesu		->	 tameshita
	to try			 tried

I used past tense instead of te form, because if you know how to get to the te form, you should 
know how to make the past tense as well.

Remember, su -> shite

-------------------------------- [ Godan Verbs : Te Form same groups (ending) ] ---------------------------------

These so far these have been just one verb ending that does one thing. 
Now I'll give you groups that behave the same way.

All godan verbs ending with u, tsu, and ru have the u, tsu, or ru removed and add tte on the end.

	narau      (to learn) 	-> 	naratte 	   (te form)
	matsu     (to wait)	->	matte	   (te form)
	toru	  (to take)	->	totte 	   (te form)

	chotto matte kudasai 	
	please wait a little
	
Remember, u, tsu, and ru    ->    tte

Another group is mu, nu, and bu. They all get nde at the end for te form.

	kamu 	(to chew)	->	kande 	   (te form)
	shinu	(to die)		->	shinde 	   (te form)  (shinu is the only verb ending with nu)
	yobu  	(to call)		->	yonde 	   (te form)
	yomu	(to read)	->	yonde 	   (te form)  (mentioned last week)

	gamu wo kande kudasai	
	please chew gum.

Remember mu, nu, and bu    ->   nde

Japanese has two irregular verbs, suru and kuru.

	suru	(to do)		->	shite 	   (te form)
	kuru 	(to come)	->	kite	   (te form)

Umm, I'm going to try making this more like a classroom than a lecture.
Someone, conjugate hashiru to te form, please. you can scroll up if you need to.

   ^seishin^ : hashitte
   String	     : hasitte
   tashi	     : good job :o  both of you are correct.  hashiru = to run

Now, try the verb kamau. Either of you or anyone else who wants to.

   Neko-Musume : kamatte
   tashi	     : righto.  kamau = to care

Seems like we understand how te form works for godan verbs. I'll now talk about other conjugations.

--------------------------------- [ Godan Verbs : 5 Bases of the Row: a i u e o ] -----------------------------------

We'll start with the a i u e o row since it's the first of the alphabet. The a i u e o row has a tiny 
change.  In the first form, it's kamawa instead of kamaa. Kamaa is kind of weird looking though, 
so it makes sense to change it to something more reasonable. 

You can change kamau to kamawa, kamai, kamau, kamao, or kamae.
Sometimes the verbs will have meanings without doing anything more to them.
I'll refer to the five different endings for each row as "bases."

    ________________________________
    |  5 Bases of the Row: a i u e o 	| 
    | 					| 
    | 	Base 1 form	:  kamawa	| 
    | 	Base 2 form	:  kamai		| 
    | 	Base 3 form	:  kamau	| 
    | 	Base 4 form	:  kamae	| 
    | 	Base 5 form	:  kamao	| 
    |_______________________________	|

Base 1 form of a verb, you can add nai to make it negative
	kamawanai	 =    to not care

You can put reru after to make it be passive
	kamawareru 	 =    to be concerned or something   

Base 2 form, you can put masu (polite) on it. And you can conjugate masu however you 
want from that point: kamaimashita, kamaimasen, kamaimasen deshita... whatever.
	kamaimasu	 =    to care (polite)

Base 3 form is dictionary form, example: 
	kamau		 =    to care

Base 4 form is for strong commands.  
	kamae 		 =    care!!!!!!!!  

A good thing to learn, potential (to be able to do form). It is base 4 + ru , so kamau would turn into 
	kamaeru 	 =     to be able to care

Base 5 form, you can add a u and make it an invitation.
	kamaou 	 =    let's care

( The ichidan verb equivilent (base 5) is adding you, like tabeyou )

----------------------------- [ Godan Verbs : 5 Bases of the Row: ka ki ku ke ko ] -------------------------------

All godan verbs follow these patterns within their rows. I'm doing the ka ki ku ke ko row now, with 
the verb kiku. kiku is annoying since it means both "to ask" and "to listen"

    _______________________________________
    |  5 Bases of the Row: ka ki ku ke ko	| 
    | 					     	| 
    | 	   Base 1 form	   :  kika	     	| 
    | 	   Base 2 form	   :  kiki		     	| 
    | 	   Base 3 form	   :  kiku	     	| 
    | 	   Base 4 form	   :  kike	     	| 
    | 	   Base 5 form	   :  kiko	     	| 
    |______________________________________	|

Base 1 form ( this form is about conjugating a verb to be negative by adding nai )
	kikanai 		 =    to not listen / to not ask

Putting de after a verb in the nai form makes it in te form. So,
	kikanaide 	 =    do not listen / do not ask

This form is also conjugating a verb to be passive by adding reru 
	kikareru 	 =     to be asked / to be heard

Base 2 form can have nasai (command) added onto it as well
	kikinasai	 =     a command saying listen / ask

Base 3 form is dictionary form
	kiku		 =     to ask / to listen

Base 4 form could be standalone (no need to add extra ending) form. 
	kike		 =     a command for to ask / to listen

Potential (to be able to) form conjugation by adding ru
	kikeru 		 =     to be able to listen / to be able to ask

Base 5 form uses for invitation 
	kikou		 =     let's listen / let's ask

kiku can be conjugated to 	kikeru 	     = able to hear 
but there is another verb, 	kikoeru	     = which means by itself, "to be able to hear"

----------------------------- [ Godan Verbs : 5 Bases of the Row: sa shi su se so ] -------------------------------

Now as for su,  Let's stick with hanasu. hanasu = to speak,

    _______________________________________
    |  5 Bases of the Row: sa shi su se so 	| 
    | 						| 
    | 	Base 1 form	:  hanasa		| 
    | 	Base 2 form	:  hanashi		| 
    | 	Base 3 form	:  hanasu		| 
    | 	Base 4 form	:  hanase		| 
    | 	Base 5 form	:  hanaso		| 
    |______________________________________	|

The usage of the different bases is the same for all rows!

Base 1	   :  hanasanai 			=  to not speak
	      hanasareru 			=  to be spoken
	      hanasanaide kudasai 	=  please don't speak

It's important to notice that hanasareru can be conjugated further, but as an ichidan verb now.
	      hanasarenai 	=  to not be said / to not be spoken

Base 2	   :  hanashimasu	=  speak (polite command)
	      hanashinasai	=  speak (command)
	      hanashi		=  speak

Base 3	   :  hanasu		=  to speak ( dictionary form)

Base 4	   :  hanase		=  being a strong command for " Speak! "
	      hanaseru 		=  being to be able to speak
	      hanasenai 		=  to be unable to speak

Base 5	   :  hanasou 		=  let's talk

Rather than do the next line in these ten minutes, 
I'll give you some misc. endings that you can apply to verbs.

If you put nara after a base 3 verb, it means if / when.
	ramen ga aru nara, daijoubu
	if ramen exists, it's okay

tsumori can be put after base 3 verbs meaning " plan to / intend to ."
	minna nerutsumori desu ka
	Does everyone plan on sleeping?

Notice that nerutsumori isn't a verb anymore, so you can't conjugate it like a verb anymore, and you 
can put desu after it. If you get a verb in plain past tense and add ra, then that is also "if/when."
That applies for ichidan verbs too.

	tabetara, ramen o tabete kudasai =
	if / when you eat, please eat ramen

This lesson was a little short & sorry if it was hard to understand. I'm open for for questions that 
you might have.

3. Go here and learn to read and write the first 10 Katakana.
    http://www.japanese-name-translation.com/site/write_katakana.html
	a, i, u, e, o ka, ki, ku, ke, ko 
	
 	( rumor has it that it's possible to learn all 1 day. You can try if you want but you will

This is Version 2.0

Vincent-MX Bonus: Behind the scene:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Copycatken	: just to clarify, a tenten is the " that follows a hiragana?
tashi		: yes

String		: what means ichidan or godan? what is that?
tashi		: Two different kinds of verbs in Japanese. All verbs are either ichidan or godan.
		  Depending on which one they are, they conjugate differently. ichidan verbs end 
		  with either iru or eru  .. godan verbs end with anything, including iru / eru .
		  Some of them have meanings on their own.. 
		  but you can add lots of different things to them to change the meaning..

Copycatken	:  the "bases" is still with godan or is it something else?
tashi		:  godan verbs have bases like that. ichidan verbs don't have bases like that.
		   hanasu is a verb to speak. hanashi by itself is a noun that means a 
		   speech / a talk. though, hanashimasu is a verb that means "to speak"

String		:  the finalization of each verb is like the accents on kanji or something like that?
		   or radicals?
tashi		:  I think you're talking about okurigana.
