Usages of zemi
ゼミ の 教授 は 厳しい けれど、 質問すれば いつも 丁寧 に 答えて くれる。zemi no kyouzyu ha kibisii keredo, situmonsureba itumo teinei ni kotaete kureru.
The professor in my seminar is strict, but if I ask questions, he always answers carefully.
この まま で は、 来週 の ゼミ の 準備 に 間に合わない ので、 今夜 も 少し 頑張る。kono mama de ha, raisyuu no zemi no zyunbi ni maniawanai node, konya mo sukosi ganbaru.
At this rate, I will not make it in time for next week’s seminar preparation, so I’ll work a little hard tonight too.
ゼミ の あと、 研究室 で 教授 に 質問 を しました。zemi no ato, kenkyuusitu de kyouzyu ni situmon wo simasita.
After the seminar, I asked the professor a question in the laboratory.
今日 の ゼミ は 教授 の 都合 で 休講 に なった ので、 空いた 時間 に レポート の 添削 を して もらいました。kyou no zemi ha kyouzyu no tugou de kyuukou ni natta node, aita zikan ni repooto no tensaku wo site moraimasita.
Today’s seminar was canceled because of the professor’s schedule, so I had my report corrected during the free time.

“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".
