Thaaaat’s right! In today’s lesson, we are going to learn how to express that something is correct!

Example Sentences

What if we want to say… “What she said is correct. I like you.” Wow, what a confession! First, let’s create a word bank!:

English	Hiragana	Kanji	Romaji (reading)
She	かのじょ	彼女	Kanojo
To say	いう	言う	Iu
Correct	せいかい	正解	Seikai
You	＊あなた	あなた	Anata
Like	すき	好き	Suki

＊Typically, we would say the person’s actual name here, not “you”. However, for the sake of this sentence, using “you” is okay!

Now, let’s write it out in romaji!:

“Kanojo ga itta no wa seikai desu. Anata ga suki desu.”

Let’s change it to hiragana:

”かのじょ　が　いった　の　は　せいかい　です。あなた　が　

すき　です。”

And lastly, let’s add in the kanji:

”彼女　が　言った　の　は　正解　です。あなた　が　好き　です”

What if we want to say… “I’m not sure what is right…” As in… “I was just asked a difficult question, and really don’t know how I should answer…”

First up, we need a word bank!

English	Hiragana	Kanji	Romaji (reading)
What	なに	何	Nani
Correct	せいかい	正解	Seikai
I don’t know	わからない	分からない	Wakaranai

Now that we know all of the relevant words, let’s put them together in a sentence!

First, in romaji only:

“Nani ga seikai na no ka, wakaranai.”

Now using hiragana:

“なに　が　せいかい　な　の　か、わからない。”

Now let’s add in the kanji:

”何　が　正解　な　の　か、分からない。”

Let’s try one more sentence! What if we want to say… “Consulting with you about my love life was the correct choice.“?

Let’s get the word bank started!

English	Hiragana	Kanji	Romaji (reading)
You	あなた	あなた	Anata
Love / love life	れんあい	恋愛	Ren’ai
Consultation	そうだん	相談	Soudan
Correct	せいかい	正解	Seikai

Alright, let’s make some sentences!

First, using romaji only:

“Anata ni ren’ai soudan shita no wa seikai deshita.”

Now using hiragana:

“あなた　に　れんあい　そうだん　した　の　は　せいかい　

でした。”

Now let’s add in the kanji:

”あなた　に　恋愛　相談　した　の　は　正解　でした。”

And that’s Seikai! Have you ever heard this word before?
