Usages of setumeikai
来週、 留学 の 説明会 が 大学 で 開かれる ので、 友達 と 一緒 に 聞き に 行く つもり だ。raisyuu, ryuugaku no setumeikai ga daigaku de hirakareru node, tomodati to issyo ni kiki ni iku tumori da.
Next week there will be a study-abroad information session at the university, so I plan to go listen with a friend.
説明会 で は、 合格した 先輩 が 体験 を 話して くれる らしい。setumeikai de ha, goukakusita senpai ga taiken wo hanasite kureru rasii.
At the information session, a senior who passed will apparently talk about their experience.
説明会 で 会った 翻訳者 は、「読者 の 想像力 を 大切 に すること が 大事 だ」 と 言って いました。setumeikai de atta honyakusya ha,「dokusya no souzouryoku wo taisetu ni surukoto ga daizi da」 to itte imasita.
A translator I met at an information session said, “It’s important to value the reader’s imagination.”

“How do verb conjugations work in Japanese?”
Japanese verbs conjugate based on tense, politeness, and mood. For example, the polite present form adds ‑ます to the verb stem, while the past tense uses ‑ました. Unlike English, Japanese verbs don't change based on the subject — the same form works for "I", "you", and "they".
