🌸 Beginner Japanese Lesson 29-1 | ドアが開いています。 🌸
How do you describe the state of something in Japanese?
In this lesson, you'll learn how to use ~ています to describe the resulting state of an action.
✨ Intransitive Verb (て-form) + います
We use this pattern to describe a state that remains after something has happened.
For example:
🚪 ドアが開いています。
➡️ The door is open.
🪟 窓(まど)が閉(し)まっています。
➡️ The window is closed.
💡 電気(でんき)がついています。
➡️ The light is on.
🌙 電気(でんき)が消(き)えています。
➡️ The light is off.
💻 このパソコンは壊(こわ)れています。
➡️ This computer is broken.
