BASIC WORD ORDER

The sentence order is very different from English. In English we use Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) but in Japanese it is usually Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) - observe:

　           S V   O
ENGLISH I eat bread.
　                      S       O          V
JAPANESE watashi wa pan o tabemasu.

DESU
Desu is a grammatical form that can act like to be (You know - is, are, am...) in English in the sense of explaining who or what something / one is or equating one thing with another.  Let's take a look:

EX 1:
watashi wa Saza desu.
I am Saza.

EX 2:
kore  wa neko desu.
This is a cat.

Most of the time you want to use the to be verb you will use desu.
MAIN POINTS:
is, are, am
always at the end  
It doesn't change like its English cousin (is, are, am) in the present tense

2 .Basic verb forms ～dictionary、~masu

There are many ways to change verbs, but here we will focus on 2 present tense forms "dictionary form" and "~masu form"  NOTE: These 2 mean the same thing, but the dictionary form is a little more casual and shorter.

The dictionary form gets its name because it is what is found in the dictionary.
The dictionary form verbs ends in -u and many end in -ru
The masu form verbs always ends in -masu in the present tense

taberu  tabemasu      Both mean "to eat"
nomu    nomimasu     to drink
hashiru  hashirimasu   to run
suru      shimasu        to do (this is one of the 2 irregular verbs)

Question words

itsu - when
itsu kimashita ka? When did you come? [lit. when came?]  

doko - where
doko kara kimashita ka? Where did you come from? [lit. where from came?]

doushite - why
doushite kimashita ka? Why did you come? [lit. why came?]

naze- why
naze? Why? [used in the same way as doushite]

dare - who
dare ga kimashita ka? Who came?

MAIN POINTS:
Even with the question word a  ka is used. (Except in casual spoken Japanese)
The question word is at the beginning, but after the は wa if there is one.
anata wa dare desu ka?
Who are you?  (the question word dare is after the wa)

Possessive "'s"
This is another nice part about Japanese.  To show relationship or possession between 2 things just put a no inbetween them.  The trick is knowing which goes to the left of the no and which goes to the right...

Think of it as:  no => 's

watashi no neko - My cat [I's cat]
nihon no kuruma  - Japanese car [Japan's car]  
neko no omocha - Cat's toy

Also think of:
watashino as "my" and
anatano as "your"

hirai_saza

and
There are several ways to say "and" (connecting things).  Let's look at 2 of them

to - connecting nouns
watashi wa nihongo to eigo to furansugo ga hanasemasu.
I can speak Japanese and English and French.

soshite - connecting phrases
watashi wa nihongo ga hanasemasu. soshite, doitsugo ga yomemasu..
I can speak Japanese and I can read German.

But
But, a small word, but... There are other "buts" but demo is the most common.

demo - but
nihongo ga suki demo,  furansugo wa kirai desu.
I like Japanese, but I hate French.

Pronouns
Pronouns are not used nearly as much in Japanese as they are in English.  Often the pronoun is used once and then after (until the topic shifts to someone else) the pronoun is dropped.  Still they are very important!

Learn watashi and anata well
I - watashi
YOU - anata
HE -  kare
SHE -  kanojo
IT - IT isn't used but in IT's place sore (that) is often used -- Don't worry!

tachi and ra are endings that indicate plurality!  Easy!
WE - watashi tachi
YOU - anata tachi
THEY - kare ra

NOTE:
Another meaning of kare (he) is actually "boyfriend" and kanojo is "girlfriend"!
When the meaning is obvious, the pronoun is usually dropped.  Both of the following is clear in meaning:
watashi wa amerika kara kimashita. I came from America.
amerika kara kimashita. (I) came from America.

Fillers
In English, we have our "um." in Japanese, they have their "eeto." This is the sound you make when you can't think of what to say, but want to say something!

nan no doubutsu ga suki desu ka?(What animal do you like?)
eeto... neko ga suki.(Um... I like cats.)

hirai_saza

Using ～san
The equivalent to Mr. or Mrs. or Miss. is ~san
USAGE: Right after the name.  It is used even with friends.  (Even when in English we wouldn't use "Mr.")

Saza san - Miss Saza
yamada san - Mr. (or Mrs...) Yamada

Other name callings:  (used the same way)
sama - very polite - reserved for royalty, important people, and customers of stores
chan - used for young girls (kiti-chan = Hello Kitty)
kun - used for young boys
sensei - used for teachers [Saza sensei], doctors, and professionals

For now just use san.  It is the most common.

dalam bhs jepun kalau nak cakap hello hanya moshi moshi jer ker?

moshi moshi...masa start perbualan lam tepon ajer..

kalo utk perbualan harian cam hai..ello..
tak sesuai digunakan..

then macam mana nak cakap hello kalau jumpa org in person, terus cakap konnichiwa ker?
