Is this sentence right?
Hello guys! *First post btw :)*
I just started out with speaking Japanese and I could use some support by you! If you could help me it would be awesome! So I want to say: 'I have money.' In Japanese. Should I say: 'Watashi wa okane ga aru.' Again thank you already! Koekoeka |
Watashi no okane ga aru
|
What does the 'no' after watashi mean? Or doesnt it have an english equivalent?
|
I was about to say (watashiniha)okane ga arimasu...in brackets only for grammatical purpose coz I doubt you will find it.
Dependng on what your English phrase means I think you can even say okane wo motteimasu. (But I am a student like you, thus always doubt my words :) ). |

"Watashi ha okane ga aru" is good. "Watashi ha okane wo motte iru" is also good (and would say better) I am a student and can be wrong though, but I'm confident :) |

First of all, you don't need "watashi". Only use it when there could be confusion you are talking about someone else. I would say "Okane ga aru" or "Okane motteiru". |
Wow! Fast replies! Thank you all! I've learned alot by you!
|
I would say "Okane ga aru" because "Watashi no okane ga aru" translates more to "My money exists" rather than "For me, money exists."
|
I should say okane ga arimasu!
|
Hm I agree with MMM, you should say "okane wo motteiru" ^^ there's no need to say "watashi" except if you're with someone who has no money ^^
