Japanese

<p>
	By using a verb in the <strong>plain form + つもり</strong>, you can express your intention or plan to do something.
</p>
<p>
	For example, if you are going to Japan in the spring, you could say <strong><ruby>春haruに日ni本honへ行iきます</ruby></strong>.
	This explains what you are going to do, but if you want to express your definite intention to do it, or if you are planning on it but not certain it will happen yet, you can instead say <strong><ruby>春haruに日ni本honへ行iくつもりです</ruby></strong>.
</p>
<p>
	See the below table for some example sentences using this pattern.
</p>
<table class="ui celled fixed table">
    <tbody>
        <tr data-item="261479"></tr>
        <tr data-item="261480"></tr>
		<tr data-item="261465"></tr>
    </tbody>
</table>
<p>
	You can also use <strong>つもり</strong> with a verb in <strong>ない-form</strong> to describe what you are planning <strong>not</strong> to do.
</p>
<table class="ui celled fixed table">
    <tbody>
        <tr data-item="261451"></tr>
    </tbody>
</table>
<p>
	And you can use <strong>つもりはない</strong> or <strong>つもりはありません</strong> to describe the absence of an intention.
</p>
<table class="ui celled fixed table">
    <tbody>
        <tr data-item="261953"></tr>
		<tr data-item="261957"></tr>
    </tbody>
</table>
