Respected Madam, Katakana also a necessary to learn Japanese?

[@TheRiordane]

Im not the teacher but I study Japanese atm at college again and lived for a year in Japan... it’s super important to learn katakana since it’s used very often. For example reading an menu needs katakana.

@@imranmani6183 BTW, Hiragana and Katakana are called "Kana" collectively.

Does that mean PLAIN forms are without using the DESU you can just use them as is?

[@enolahomes7468]

Im so confused I have 3 sources for NA ADJECTIVES 1.)The じゃありません for present negative “is not” *****じゃありませんでした past negative was not 2.)The じゃだった for present negative for “is not” ****じゃなかった for past negative for “was not” Now in this video 3.)Present negative for “is not” じゃない Past negative for “was not” じゃなかった Yuko sensei~ does that mean there are lot of ways to say it in negative past form? Maybe ill just review the video again and again😂😭

こんばんは　せんせい How do I know if I will use kunyomi or onyomi, I'm confused whether [example mountain(さん) (やま)].

Johncarlo Rosales try Wanikani

Look at the video by Japanese Pod 101 on On or Kun readings

[@pianoplayer3002]

I'm probably late, but if you're still looking for an answer: I have found you generally use the onyomi reading when a word / piece of vocabulary has two or more Kanji, and use the kunyomi when the character is used on its own. In the case of 水, its kunyomi is みず (mizu), and it is when you want to talk about the meaning of that character on its own, as in 水を飲む（みず・を・の・む - mizu (w)o nomu) meaning 'to drink water' or 'I drink water', etc. If you come across a word / piece of vocab with multiple Kanji in a row, you would use the onyomi reading, which for 水 is すい (sui). It can be found in words like: 水曜日（すい・よう・び - suiyōbi / suiyoubi）- 'Wednesday' 水泳（すい・えい - suiei / suiē）- 'swimming (action; noun)' 水族館（すい・ぞく・かん - suizokukan）- 'aquarium' I like to think of them as the 'compound' and 'standalonem readings because that represents it a bit more accurately. Though like everything, there are exceptions to this. In 水着（みず・ぎ - mizugi）- 'bathing suit' or 'bath suit', 水 uses the kunyomi reading. Probably because of some historical shenanigan I don't know of. Other words are straight up irregulars such as 垂水（たるみ - tarumi）- 'waterfall' (couldn't find any great examples for 水 but this definitely happens with other characters like 人 or 日). So for the more common characters with many readings (such as 下, 生, 人, 日, 上, etc.), it might be best to learn the readings for each one of those words individually. Sometimes, if you know the onyomi reading to the characters from a word you haven't seen before, you might be able to go: I know 悪's onyomi is あく (aku), and 夢's is む (mu), therefore 悪夢 must be あくむ. And it is. This makes looking up words in a dictionary app much faster, but it doesn't always work. Hope this isn't too long as has helped you if you're still learning.
