Why Not Learn Japanese?

less that is also formula, a platitude, but
its psychology differs profoundly from ours
and that difference runs all through the
language, even in commercial intercourse.
One OF the striking peculiarities is that the
adjective is really a part of the verb, in
Japanese and can be independently con-
jugated, though in polite conversation 1t is
more usual to attach some form of dru Ito
be) an auxiliary verb" Thus there
five ways of giving the present tense of any
adjective e, g, santut, cold. The statement
1T is cold" may be made % sdmM, CD
samut desu. (3) samui n desu, (4) san,uku
orinaSu, (5) sdnlu 0osdimdsu. There is
little difference between them save in degree
of politeness, the last being the most honor
ific, as 0oSdimasu is an honorific form of the
verb arimdsu.
Here is pitfall for the blunt Saxon The
American commercial drummer is apt to
burt out a disrespectful Sdnui to his GUS
toner, thereby offending him, whereas he
should have adjusted the adjective to the
exact shade of honorifc codness suited to
his man.
Nevertheless, there are good points about
Japanese. For one thing, it's pronunciation
is simple, STRAIGHTFORWARD, just about as 1t is
spelled in the Roman letters in transltera-
tion The vowels in general have the Ital-
ian, or continental, value and the consonants
the same as in English. There are no silent
letters.

able Toll, although Dr. McGovern assures us
that Japanese isn't really so hard to learn
and that ats difficulty has been greatly ex-
aggerated." One trouble is that there are so
many kinds of Japanese language-written
styles, spoken styles, an epistolary style, and
a thoroughly classical Chinese style adapted
to nothing less weighty than philosophical
disuuisition. Perhaps most of us need not
worry greatly about the last variety; the
ordinary, colloquial Japanese is what we
need most In our daily round. But even
there 1t does not seem excessively simple.
The really serious difficulty that confronts
us in trying to learn Japanese is not so much
its grammatical idioms or technical peculiari-
ties, which can easily be learned, as 1t is
what DR.. McGovern calls ''the important
difference between the mode of thought be-
tween Japan and the West" That is a
fundamental difficulty, making literal trans
lation nearly impossible, "since like cir
cumstances do not call forth the same ideas"
Thus Europeans or Americans meeting for
the first time say, How do you do?" or
"Glad to meet you," meaning little or nothing
beyond a formula of greeting, a common
place. But the Japanese takes it more seri-
ously. The stock phrase" says DR.. Nc
