What is Desu? I've talked previously about the levels of formality of desu like predicates, but I was surprised I have never really gone into Desu until now.

Warning, it has been a looooong three days Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themangasensei/?hl=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/themangasensei/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/themangasensei Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFyhPCVFsM_0D0YtoFFlkWw Website: manga-sensei.com Music by Gizmo....
This is not 物 or 者. This is a Hiragana Mono and is used to describe an action or a state of something. This must be followed a predicate and modifying a verb or an adjective. Check out more at our website at manga-sensei.com
