Japanese Language 「Sentence Structure」 The te form of a verb, followed by the verb oku or okimasu ("put"), expresses an action done deliberately for a future convenience. Here oku or okimasu is used as an auxiliary and is conventionally written in hiragana not kanji. The phrase no tame ni-consisting of the particle no, the noun tame ("benefit"), and the particle ni-indicates the beneficiary of an action and means "for" or "for the benefit of." Examples: 前もって品物の値段を調べておきます。 Mae motte shinamono no nedan o shirabete okimasu. I'll check the price of the article beforehand. レストランのテーブルを予約しておきましたよ。 Resutoran no tēburu o yoyaku shite okimashita yo. I reserved a table (for us) at the restaurant. 彼はアメリカの友達のために日本の切手を集めておいた。 Kare wa Amerika no tomodachi no tame ni Nihon no kitte o atsumete oita. He collected Japanese stamps for his friend in America. Hope this helps. じゃまたね! °˖ ✧◝(○ ヮ ○)◜✧˖ °こゆうきあいはら°˖ ✧◝(○ ヮ ○)◜✧˖ °
