Did you like my Japanese lessons? I hope you guys understood it all, it shouldn’t have been confusing…next a lesson on ‘-Go’, ‘Nin/Jin’.

The suffix -Go is used on the end of the names of countries to make that country’s language, for example:

(root)Nihon(Japan) + (suffix)-Go(Language) = Nihongo. Meaning Japanese language.

However, remember that Go can also mean Japanese chess, or the number five.

Next we can add the suffix –Jin for Example:

(root)Nihon(Japan) + (suffix)-Jin(person) = Nihonjin. Meaning Japanese person.

Note that Jin can also be a noun, note that it is sometimes written as ‘Nin’.
