I've started learning Japanese but I don't understand a few words because the words are not in my Japanese dictonary.

tonde
tobikoete
tobiorite
hashitte
aruite
odotte
kon o yonde
suberi ochite
koronde
oyoide

I know that are a lot of words. I hope there's anybody.

Moderator note:
The scope of this thread is the meanings and the dictionary forms of the verbs listed above in te-forms.

    yomimasu= yonde (read)
    Arukimasu= aruite (walk)
    Odorimasu= Odotte (dance)
    Oyogimasu= Oyoide (swim)

    Some examples:
    Ima nihongo no hon wo yonde imasu (I am reading a japanese book now).
    Mainichi aruite imasu (I walk everyday)

    What does the "o" at "hon o yonde" mean? Are the words always the same or are there differents between for example animals or male and female?

    Oh I forgot to explain using the dictionary form which is the correct form given by Flam...to me the form "masu" is easier...

    Hon wo yonde or Hon o yonde can be said by men, women or animals of course speeking animals like Red hood´s wolf or Doraemon...

    you need to start another thread in order for us to explain to you and other forer@s about "wa", "imasu" "Wo"

    The particle -o marks the direct object. It is used for any kind of nouns. Here hon (books) is marked as the direct object of "to read."
