This is quite a hard question because Japanese doesn't have just one word for 'and' - it has many.

- The particle (to) can be used to mean 'and' when listing things. と is used for complete lists.- The particle (ya) is used to for incomplete lists. It's useful to think of lists using や as starting with 'things such as...' or ending with 'etc'.

- The form (te-form)of a verb can be used to connect sentences with the word 'and'.

- Adjectives can be connected with either~くて(~kute)or ~ (~de) depending on whether the adjective is a i-adjective (くて) or na-adjective (で).


Examples:

  • (to):スペイン語イタリア語ポルトガル語が話せる (supeingo to itariago to porutogarugo ga hanaseru)- "I can speak Spanish, Italian and Portuguese (only/nothing else)."
  • (ya): スパゲッティバーガーが好きです(supagetti ya baagaa ga suki desu)- "I like spaghetti and burgers (among other things)."
  • (te): きのう銀行に行っ、銀行の近くにある喫茶店で食べた (kinou ginkou ni itte, ginkou no chikaku ni aru kissaten de tabeta) - "Yesterday I went to the bank and (then) ate at a nearby café."
  • Adj. - くて(kute) & (de):このケーキがふんわり柔らかくて、完璧、おいしい(kono keeki ga funwari yawarakakute, kanpeki de, oishii)- "This cake is fluffy, perfect and delicious."
