How to answer the questions?
This is a somewhat more delicate subject; it is necessary to have a basic knowledge of Japanese vocabulary. If the answer is simply one word, just say it and sometimes add “desu [です]” to make it more formal.
If the answer is a verb, remember to conjugate it correctly. We recommend reading our article with phrases for conversation in Japanese. This article will help you have an even better conversation.
If you are a novice in the Japanese language, or want to know more basic words and phrases, we recommend that you read other articles:
