Long vowels (pronounced with twice the length of normal vowels) have been written with a bar over the top, except for the double i: ā ii ē ō ū  \nbus stop バス停 basu-tē  \nstreet 通り tōri  \n2) Japanese grammar is simple in many ways compared to European languages: there is no gender and there are no definite or indefinite articles; there is no difference between singular and plural; and verbs 3  \nonly have past and non-past (present or future) forms and do not change according to who is performing an action.  \n3) There are different levels of politeness in Japanese, but polite forms suitable for general use have been used in the phrases in this book. Verbs are shown in the “plain” form. This is the form used among family members and close friends, and to form more complex structures, so you may hear people using it. However, it is safest to stick to using the polite form to avoid appearing over-familiar or rude. In the polite form, Japanese verbs end in “-masu”. Negative forms and past tenses are made by changing the verb ending.  \n4) Japanese uses small words called particles to show how different parts of the sentence relate to each other.
