日本語のおしゃべり

Japanese Language
「Verbs」

「Vdic + noun」
To make a relative clause

With the Vdic + noun pattern, Vdic is used as a modifier of the following noun, e.g. iku hito 行く人 (persons who go); niji ni deru basu 二時に出るバス (the bus that leaves at two o'clock). The Japanese language does not have relative pronouns such as "who," "which," and "that."

Examples:
今日私が会う人は父の友達だ。
Kyō watashi ga au hito wa chichi no tomodachi da. ​
The person whom I'll meet today is my father's friend.

小川先生の代わりに教える先生は野田先生です。
Ogawa-sensei no kawari ni oshieru sensei wa Noda-sensei desu.
The teacher who will teach in place of Prof. Ogawa is Prof. Noda.

これは食品を加工する機械です。
Kore wa shokuhin o kakō suru kikai desu.
This is the machine that processes food.

Hope this helps, and see you again！
