a ditty, 'cause if I don't write it down, I'll forget it, to the tune of Silver Bells
(city sidewalks busy sidewalks dressed in holiday style in the air there's a feeling of Xmas)

-u -tsu -ru, -tte
う　つ　る　って
-bu -mu -nu, -nde
ぶ　む　ぬ　んで
-su, -shite, -ku, -ite
す　して　く　いて
-gu, -ide, that's the way of the te form
ぐ　いで

Only I'm told I have to sing it so that the 'of' is elongated and the 'the te form' fits into one note.

Clarified for those who are clueless, like me.

The kids love teaching me these things. They think it's hilarious because I'm learning bits of grammar but I have NO VOCABULARY to use it on. LOL!

actually, it scans just fine to that tune :D

FWIW, you shouldn't have to (sing "the te form") in one note :D (I was just singing it to the cats. Cats: WTF w/the japanese, mom?)

LOL! I know it scans perfectly without doing that, but ... that's the way the teacher does it!
