[✐1. Adagio] Particles [にni] and [でde] (+ [をo]) with basic verbs. “at a convenience store, to a convenience store? “ Hello, everyone. Today, we practice particles” ni”, “de” with basic Verbs. [00:16] Before we start, let me explain quickly about directional particles. Directional particle [にni] can be replaced by another directional particle [へ(e)].  However, [に(ni)] implies more about the destination, whereas [へ(e)] is more about the path to the destination.  But even Japanese native speakers use it without really thinking about this subtle difference. At the beginner’s level, we practice with [に]. [00:50] Now we begin with [に]( to, towards), indicating the direction or location Repeat after me [00:53] 1.  I go to a convenient store. 2.  I go to a toilet. 3.  I go to work. 4.  I don’t go back to my place. 5.  I came to Japan. [01:35] Place of action particle [でde]( in, at): where an action occurs/is done. Repeat after me [01:42] 1. I eat at home. 2. I watch at the movie theatre. 3. I study at the library. 4. I don’t jog in the park. 5. I bought at the department store. [02:30] The particle [でde] (by, with) also denotes means, or tool used to perform an action. Repeat after me [02:39] 1.  I eat with chopsticks. 2.  I watch on the Netflix. 3.  I go home by taxi. 4.  I went by bus. [03:14] Choose the suitable verb to complete the sentence.
