โ4.Allegretto, 5.Allegro] (You can try "shadowing" from 07:55.)
โIt seems so.โ[00:07]
Hello everyone. Today, we practice ใrashii (it seemsโฆ apparently).
Note 1: โใrashiiโ and โyou(na)โ are often interchangeable, but technically ใrashii conveys hearsay or presumption based on an indirect information. With โใyou(na)โ, it can be based on either direct or indirect information and sounds a bit more certain.
Note 2: ใrashii also expresses typical properties; โใฏใใใใใฆใใใงใใญโ means โ itโs a typical spring weather, isnโt it?โ.

โI want to get married by the age of 40.โ[ใพใง(made) is often used in conjunction with verbs which represent the time width(duration), such as โisโ, โcontinue, โwait, โworkโ, โrest", and so on. ใพใงใซ(madeni) indicates the time limit by which an action should be done, most of the time followed by verbs such as โreturnโ, โfinishโ, โsubmitโ, โmarryโ etc.]

2. My work is (I work) until 5 pm.
3. I work from 9 am to 5 pm.

Hello, everyone.
[00:09]
Letโs think about the situation. You are invited to a party on Saturday. Well, you think itโs next Saturday, but not sure. So, youโd like to confirm itโs really next Saturday, youโd ask โThe party is next Saturday, right?โ The nuance of this โright?โ can be expressed by "ใdakke?".
[00:30]
In masu-form, ending particle โyoneโ is added to double check something.
[00:39]
In fact, in casual conversations, โใdakkeโ is used quite frequently.
Note: You know how to construct โ ใn desuโ. Now just add โdakke?โ after โnโ.
[00:46]
Anyway, letโs practice.
For example,

You go (you are going), right?
