Doku desu ka?'Doku desu ka' is a Japanese phrase used in every day conversation, especially by tourists. It literally translates to 'where?' as 'doku' means 'where' and 'desu ka' is a phrase added to the end of Japanese sentences to turn the sentence into a question - there is no use of a question mark.
A few examples of its use are...
'Hoteru wa doku desu ka' - 'where is the hotel?'
'Eki wa doku desu ka' - 'where is the station?'
'Toire wa doku desu ka' - 'where is the toilet?'
'Annaijo wa dokue desu ka' - 'where is the tourist information point?'
You will notice the inclusion of 'wa' - this is a topic marker. It points out what the topic of the sentence is - the object. It joins the topic to the rest of the sentence; in this case, a question about its location.
Some other useful phrases are...
'Igirisu kara kimashita' - 'I come from England'.
'Watashi wa John Smith desu' - 'my name is John Smith'.
'Tasukete kudasai' - 'Help me, please'.
Japanese uses fewer vowels and consonants than English, and it is often difficult to find translations as they use a different character set to the Latinate one used in most European languages. The easiest way to learn to speak Japanese is with a text book with phrases written phonetically.
=====================================================Nan demo nai ka.''Betsu ni'' is ''nothing'' as in nothing is wrong or nothing's up
''Nan demo nai'' is ''It is nothing'' as in nothing is bothering you
''Betsu ni nan demo ni'' is ''Nothing in particular is bothing me''
Nandemo means "Anything" or whatever synonyms you can think of, while the -nai suffix is used to add a negative meaning. (The complete opposite, eg. someone ask you "Kowaii ka?" "You scared?", and you would reply "Kowakunai yo!" "I'm not scared!"
.
So the opposite of something is nothing.
=====================================================Genki desu ka?元気ですか？ (Genki desuka?) How are you?
はい、元気でーす！ (Hai, genki deeesu!) Good (thanks.)
As the first answerer said, It means, "How are ya?" Or "How' s it going?" Or "How're ya doing?" etc
Often, in casual situations it's reduced to just, "Genki?"
=====================================================Ikuzo!I've read that Ikouze means something like, "Let's do it." "Ikuzo" means "let's go". "Iku" is the Japanese verb for "to go".
=====================================================The word before "o" or "ga"The word before "o" is a direct object.
For example;
ringo o taberu ( I eat an apple. )
ko-ra o nomu ( I drink coke.)
The word before "ga" is a subject.
For example:
ame ga futte imasu ( It's raining)
ringo ga arimasu ( there is an apple)
=====================================================Sou desu ka?Sou desu ka? - is like an "oh really?", "hmm?" "is that so".
Sou desu ne - is like "yeah", "uh-huh (but polite)".
