1. N1 wa N2 desu.
This sentence pattern is used to talk about a person's name, nationality, or occupation. N1 is used to introduce the person, and N2 is used to describe their name, nationality, or occupation. Pronouns like watashi (I), kare (he), or kanojo (she) are often used for N1. Let's take a look at some examples:
Watashi wa Maiku desu. (I am Mike.)
Watashi wa Amerika-jin desu. (I am American.)
Watashi wa gakusē desu. (I am a student.)
Instead of using a pronoun in N1, you can also use a person's name, like Tanaka, Yamada, or Hanako. You should use an honorific like "-san" or "-sensei" after their name. However, "-san" is not used when talking about oneself, and "-sensei" is usually only used for teachers and doctors.
For example:
Tanaka-san wa Nihon-jin desu. (Mr. Tanaka is Japanese.)
That's all there is to it! This pattern can help you describe people's names, nationalities, and occupations in Japanese.
