Hello everyone, I am Jimmy.
When I started studying French,
I asked my students what the first obstacle was,
and everyone said that it was the冠詞.
So today, let's study about the冠詞.
First, let's start with the basic rules.
If you have a fanbox text in your hand,
please look at page 1.
In French nouns, such as names of things,
you always need a very important word before thatword.
It is the冠詞.
There are three main groups of冠詞.
In difficult Japanese,
it is called 封定冠詞, 定冠詞, and 部分冠詞.
But you don't have to memorize them.
To put it simply,
like other European languages,
all things have gender.
So in the French head,
table is woman, cheese is man.
How do you study this?
There is no study method.
However, if you think that 90% of nouns end withan e,
it is ok.
Why is it important for a man to know a woman?
Because you have to memorize the words before
in order to use them correctly.
Those important words are
First, let's start with the meaning of a.
The meaning of a can be translated as a singlething.
It is used for things that can be counted.
For example, a single pen is a pencil.
When you go to a cafe and ask for a cup of coffee,
please use a.
A cafe, s'il vous plaît.
In direct translation, it means
one coffee, please.
A cafe is a man.
After a coffee, if you want a room,
you can say
Une carafe, s'il vous plaît.
A cafe, une carafe.
Next, the tora.
To translate it simply,
you can also use it when you want to say
that, this, that.
You can also use it when you want to say
the whole thing.
For example,
I like coffee as a drink.
I like the cafe.
It means that I like a drink called a cafe.
It means that.
So, du and dora.
I think this is probably the most difficult.
It can be used for things that can't be counted,
or for things to live on.
For example,
I drink coffee.
I drink the cafe.
I live on coffee.
You can translate it like that.
You can translate it like that.
Yes, it's definitely difficult.
So, I'll give you another example.
I drink coffee.
You can translate it like that.
I drink a coffee.
I drink the cafe.
I live on coffee.
I drink the cafe.
I like the cafe.
I like the drink called coffee.
Well done.
That's all for today.

etc.
So, please subscribe and practice.
Also, in my fanbox,
there are practice questions
and PDFs for reviewing this grammar.
You can download all the practice questions
