Tags: MinicoreJapanese-EN lesson-10 sentence vocab dialog-line dialog recognition

MinicoreJapanese: Sumimasen. Byouin wa doko desu ka.
Native: すみません。病院はどこですか。
English: Excuse me — where is the hospital?
Literal: excuse-me. hospital [topic] where is ?

MinicoreJapanese: Atama ga itai desu. Kusuri ga irimasu.
Native: 頭が痛いです。薬がいります。
English: My head hurts. I need medicine.
Literal: head [ga] painful is. medicine [ga] need

MinicoreJapanese: Pasupooto ga arimasen. Kouban wa doko desu ka.
Native: パスポートがありません。交番はどこですか。
English: My passport is gone. Where is the police box?
Literal: passport [ga] exists-not. police-box [topic] where is ?

MinicoreJapanese: Netsu ga arimasu. Taihen desu.
Native: 熱があります。大変です。
English: I have a fever. This is rough.
Literal: fever [ga] exists. tough is

MinicoreJapanese: Kyuukyuusha, onegaishimasu!
Native: 救急車、お願いします！
English: An ambulance, please!
Literal: ambulance, please
Notes: kyuukyuusha — ambulance — on Lesson 1's onegaishimasu. No new grammar for the most important request you'll ever make: name the thing you need, add onegaishimasu.

MinicoreJapanese: Keisatsu, onegaishimasu!
Native: 警察、お願いします！
English: The police, please!
Literal: police, please
Notes: keisatsu — police. Same shape. (For minor trouble — a lost bag, directions — the kouban from Lesson 8 is the friendlier door; keisatsu is for something actually wrong.)

MinicoreJapanese: Jiko desu.
Native: 事故です。
English: It's an accident. / There's been an accident.
Literal: accident is
Notes: jiko — accident — in the plainest frame you own, X desu. Point at what happened; the word plus the scene is a complete report.

MinicoreJapanese: Ichi-ichi-kyuu.
Native: いちいちきゅう
English: 119 — fire & ambulance
Literal: 1-1-9
Notes: 119 — fire and ambulance. Say the digits — ichi-ichi-kyuu, all from Lesson 3 — or better, show the number written: panic wrecks recall first, and three digits on a screen never come out wrong.

MinicoreJapanese: Ichi-ichi-zero.
Native: いちいちゼロ
English: 110 — police
Literal: 1-1-0
Notes: 110 — police. Same move: say ichi-ichi-zero, or show it. Keep both numbers written in your phone where you can point at them.

MinicoreJapanese: Kega o shimashita.
Native: けがをしました。
English: I'm injured. / I got hurt.
Literal: injury [obj] did
Notes: kega — injury — with Lesson 7's X o shimasu, in Lesson 6's past: kega o shimashita = "I did an injury" = "I got hurt." Two lessons of grammar, no new machinery.

MinicoreJapanese: Totemo itai desu.
Native: とても痛いです。
English: It hurts a lot.
Literal: very painful is
Notes: totemo — very. It sits in front of any adjective to dial it up — the same slot Lesson 9's chotto used to dial down. Lesson 8's itai ("it hurts") becomes totemo itai desu ("it really hurts"). That's the whole severity system.

MinicoreJapanese: Itai desu!
Native: 痛いです！
English: It hurts! (pointing at where)
Literal: painful is !
Notes: For any body part you never learned: point at it and say itai desu. Finger plus this sentence is complete and unambiguous — the same pointing strategy that's carried you since Lesson 2, now doing triage.

MinicoreJapanese: Kega desu.
Native: けがです。
English: It's an injury. (pointing)
Literal: injury is
Notes: kega desu — "it's an injury" — point at the wound. Between itai desu (it hurts), kega desu (it's an injury), and taihen desu (this is serious), a pointing finger tells medics what they need before anyone finds a shared word.

MinicoreJapanese: Taishikan wa doko desu ka.
Native: 大使館はどこですか。
English: Where is the embassy?
Literal: embassy [topic] where is ?
Notes: taishikan — embassy — in Lesson 4's doko frame. A lost passport, a real crisis: your own country's embassy is the address that fixes it, and this is how you ask the way there.

MinicoreJapanese: Hoken ga arimasu.
Native: 保険があります。
English: I have insurance.
Literal: insurance [ga] exists
Notes: hoken — insurance — owned via Lesson 4's arimasu, exactly like yoyaku ga arimasu (a booking) and netsu ga arimasu (a fever). Say it at a hospital desk and the paperwork relaxes.

MinicoreJapanese: Jishin desu.
Native: 地震です。
English: It's an earthquake.
Literal: earthquake is
Notes: jishin — earthquake. In Japan the ground moves often; usually it passes in seconds. Jishin desu names it calmly — and cues the next question.

MinicoreJapanese: Hinanjo wa doko desu ka.
Native: 避難所はどこですか。
English: Where is the evacuation shelter?
Literal: shelter [topic] where is ?
Notes: hinanjo — evacuation shelter — the doko frame again. Every neighborhood posts the way to its shelter (often a school or park); after a big quake, that sign is what you follow. Ask it, or follow the crowd walking calmly the same direction.
