It’s not important, don’t give money to the children in Japanese 🇯🇵

Sentence info.

それは たいせつなことじゃないよ こどもたちに おかねを あたえないでください。

Explanation:

1. それは (sore wa)
– "それ" means "that" and "は" is the topic particle. Together, they mean "That is".

2. たいせつな (taisetsu na)
– "たいせつな" means "important".

3. こと (koto)
– "こと" means "thing" or "matter".

4. じゃない (ja nai)
– This is a common negative form meaning "is not". It follows a noun or a noun-like structure.

5. よ (yo)
– A sentence-ending particle added for emphasis. In this context, it asserts the statement.

6. こどもたちに (kodomo-tachi ni)
– "こども" means "child/children", "たち" is a pluralizing suffix, and "に" indicates the indirect object (to the children).

7. おかねを (okane o)
– "おかね" means "money" and "を" is the particle indicating the direct object.

8. あたえないでください (atanaide kudasai)
– "あたえない" is the negative form of "あたえる" (to give), and "ください" is "please". Together, they mean "Please do not give".

Tips to Remember:

– Use "それは" to start sentences about the topic "that".
– Recall that "たいせつ" means "important" and add "な" to connect it with "thing".
– "ことじゃない" can be used to negate a matter or thing.
– The structure "に" for whom/to whom and "を" for direct objects can clarify sentence roles.
– Practice using negative request forms like "～ないでください".
