Issue 49: Japanese 3 Mother's Day Unit (IDK why is it called that)

GRAMMAR:
REVIEW:
How do we for form Ta-form again?
Verb: Sing that song in your head and you figure it out. Or just think of other words with the same dictionary form like I do.
I-Adj: いかった
Na-Adj: なform+だった
Noun: Noun+だった
NEW:
ª~formり ~ form り
Meaning: A. Things such as ①&②   B. Sometimes①, Sometimes②.
Ex: 私は、ひまなときに、おんがくをきいたり、えいがをみたりします。
When I'm free, I sometimes listen to music, sometimes watch movies.
When I'm free, I do things such as listen to music and watch movies.

You can just -ta form + ri as many times as you want.
Or you can use it one to emphasize, like the example below:
ビールをのんだりしては、いけません。
You should not do such things as drink beer.

~たform
Meaning: A. If   B. When              C. After
Ex. もんだいがあったら、ともだちをはなしたいです。
If I had a problem, I want to talk to my friend.

~あげる・くれる・もらう
あげる: to give
くれる: to give
もらう: to receive
Okay.. this one is a bit tricky to me too. Though apparently I should just trust myself...
Ageru is like...
私はあなたにこれをあげます。
I give this to you.
Kureru is like...
あなたは私にこれをくれます。
You give me this.
Morau is like....
私はあなたにもらいます。
I received this from you.
And then there's that social hierarchy thingie too.
やります use it to  things inferior to you
あげますuse it normally I guess
くれます use it close to you
さしあげます I think it's use to your superiors
