It is useful to be aware that yonde is also the te-form of yobu, to call:

[zacharywho]

what was the specific reason we would need to conjugate to -Te form again????

[rechieish]

nihongo no oshiekata wa hontou ni jouzo desu ne! watashi wa imitation o shite, watashi no seito no tame ni isshoukenmei oshiete agemasu... nihongo no oshiekata jouzo ni naru to seitosan tachi wa omoshiroku benkyoushimasu.

[erasmiakaragianni]

Sensei, the irregular verbs, when in Te-kudasai form, they don't need ''o'' before?

[dashachess]

日本語にほんごで話はなしましょうか。

ええ、すみませんが、日本語にほんごで[1]ください。?

[JeePnoY]

kimasu "to come" te form = kite
kikimasu "to listen" te form = kite

How do I distinguish lol they sound different when speaking, but when reading it looks the same.   Nihongo wa Muzukashii desu !!! Atama ga itai yo!

[RyoooPT]

An example I'm familiar with is "Yamete kudasai"

[rechieish]

minasan no commento wa nihongo de kaite kudasai ne! demo, wakaranakattara, kiite kudasai ne. :)  ja, mata ne.

[sogghartha]

Ashita niji ni kitty kudasai. Haha! :)
