Focus on one card. Use Prev / Next, arrow keys, or swipe. Prefer the full list? Apple sentences (all).

  • The apple is red.
    Ringo wa akai desu.
    In real life (guy speech):
    Ringo, akai na.
    Explanation: Basic “X is Y” sentence. りんご (ringo) = apple; は (wa) marks the topic; 赤い (akai) = red (i-adjective); です (desu) is the polite ending. Pattern: Noun は Adjective です. Guy speech often drops は/です and may end with な (rough/casual) instead of softer よ/ね.
