GOSS, & Small, 1974; Kimball & Dale, 1972; Kirk, Hunt, & Lieberman, 1975; Modreski & GOSS, 1969). In a systematic and comprehensive study, Johnson (1977), for example, assessed color naming cross-sectionally in children 2i to 4i years of age. On the average, 38% of 2.6-year-olds, 50% of 3-year-olds, and 56% of 3.3-year-olds knew and could correctly apply four basic color names.
A Japanese word meaning 'My'. Watashi is generally used by girls, and 'boku no' or 'ore no' can be used by boys to say 'my'. Although the japanese word mai also means 'My', it is used when not referring to oneself, or when it is from a neutral tone. Watashi no sekai. My world.
Watashitachi-means we, us. Since in Japanese the word order is different than in English, to say 'we are' you use the following format: Watashitachi wa (what you are) desu. 'wa' is a subject marker.(It directly follows the subject) 'desu' is a copula. (It links the explanation to the subject) Desu is usually translated into English as 'is' or 'are'. There is no difference between 'is' and 'are' in Japanese as far as I can tell.For example: Watashitachi wa ureshii desu. - We are happy. Wareware wa kanashii desu. - We are sad. If you wanted to say 'I am', you would use the same format. Watashi wa ureshii desu.here is no difference between 'is' and 'are' in Japanese as far as I can tell. For example: Watashitachi wa ureshii desu. - We are happy. Wareware wa kanashii desu. - We are sad. If you wanted to say 'I am', you would use the same format.
