Nihongo Journey

ひさびさね？ Time for more japanese srs sentences and one with an interesting grammar point. (to me anyway)

全然眠れやしない
ぜんぜん　ねむれ　やしない = “I can’t sleep at all.”
**Grammar Point** Adding やしない　to the masu form of a verb makes that verb emphatically negative. The dictionary says this is a colloquial usage.

眼鏡を外す
めがね　を　はずす　＝　”to take off one’s glasses.”

ウサギが葉っぱを食べている
ウサギ　が　はっぱ　を　たべて　いる　”the rabbit is eating a leaf.” This one was an interesting find for me because I’ve only see leaf written as ”葉”before this.

鍵がなかったので。。。
かぎ　が　なかった　ので。。。　＝　”Because I didn’t have my key…”
