Japanese Language [Sentence Structure] The dictionary form of a verb, followed by tsumori, expresses a person's intention to do something. Tsumori ("intention") is a pseudo-noun ( a noun that cannot be used by itself, without a modifier) and is usually accompanied by the copula de or desu. To express an intention to not do something, the verb before tsumori can be made negative (Ex., 2), or tsumori itself can be made negative: tsumori wa nai ("have no intention"; Ex., 3). Examples: 私たち は クリスマス を ハワイ で 過ごす つもり。 Watashi-tachi wa kurisumasu o Hawai de sugosu tsumori. We intend to spend Christmas in Hawaii. 今年 の 夏 は 旅行 しない つもり だ。 Kotoshi no natsu wa ryokō shinai tsumorida. I don't intend to travel this summer. 彼女 は 今 結婚 する つもり は ない。 Kanojo wa ima kekkon suru tsumori wa nai. She has no intention of getting married now. Hope this helps! じゃまたね! °˖ ✧◝(○ ヮ ○)◜✧˖ °こゆうき あいはら°˖ ✧◝(○ ヮ ○)◜✧˖ °
