Easy Japanese. Samuel E. Martin
Yōf'ku arimas'.
Tips
Arimas’ is another word of vague meaning “there is,” “we have got,” “I have got,” “you have got,” etc. The little word ka at the end of Arimas’ ka? is the question particle. You can ask a question without it, but you often add this particle to make the sentence specifically a question. Another particle often used at the end of a sentence is ne. Arimas’ ne means “there is some, you know” or “don’t you agree with me that there is some.” Sometimes the particle makes the meaning a little softer, or more intimate, or more sincere: Gomen nasai ne is just another way to say Gomen nasai “excuse me.” Words like arimas’ and kudasai usually come at the end of the sentence, and the word which comes at the end in English often comes earlier in the Japanese sentence.
