Sometimes the two expressions are used together as “Sayoonara, oyasumi nasai”.
            16.  Itte mairimasu. – I’m going out or I’m leaving.  17. Itte rasshai. – Good bye, have a nice time.
         This is addressed to someone left in the house, office, etc. The literal meaning is “ I’ll go out and come back here.”  The way to respond to this expression is to say “Itte rasshai.”  The literal meaning is “Go for a nice day (or business) and come back safely.
            18.  Tadaima.    –  I am back.                19.  Okaeri nasai.  –  Welcome back.

  BASIC GRAMMAR
            1.  Kono hon wa omoshirokunai desu.                       This book is not interesting.
            2.  Watashi no tokei wa yasukatta desu.                    My watch is cheap.
            3.  Anata no uchi ( ie ) wa chikai desu ka.                  Is your house near ?

   In Japanese grammar, a pure adjective is conjugated as follows :

     Present affirmative            Present negative                     Past affirmative          Past negative
            omoshiroi                      omoshirokunai                       omoshirokatta            omoshirokunakatta
            yasui                              yasukunai                               yasukatta                   yasukunakatta
            chikai                             chikakunai                              chikakatta                  chikakunakatta
            yawarakai                     yawarakakunai                      yawarakakatta           yawarakakunakatta

  Note :  All pure adjectives end in letter  “i”  ; however they are conjugated in cases where they are used as complements in a be–verb sentence. For example, in the sentence “ subject , wa omoshiroi desu” “omoshiroi” is used as a complement. In such a case as this, depending on the verb tense and whether its negative or positive, pure adjective should be conjugated by dropping the final “i”  and replacing it with “kunai”,  “katta” ,  and  “kunakatta”.

 BASIC GRAMMAR :  Verb  “to go” together with its propositions  “e”  or  “ni”
  
            “e”  or  “ni”  is a particle to indicate the destination and the direction. You can always use this particle after places, such as Midsayap e ( to Midsayap ), Nihon e ( to Japan ), Pikit e ( to Pikit ), etc.
  
            According to the English grammar, any kind of verb has its own conjugation in the sentence such as :                                
                      go                goes                   went                      gone                                going
                   ( root )           ( present  )          ( past )             ( past particle )              ( present participle )

     iku – to go

                                    mashoo – ( lets )                nasai –  ( order form )

     In Nihongo, all verbs have their own conjugations, too. Most of the common verbs have the letter “u” at the end of the word, such as “iku”. When the verb is used in the sentence, the letter “u” can get each conjugation depending on the use in the sentence.
     English and Japanese grammars are similar to each other when it comes to adjectives and adverbs. Adjectives modifying nouns become complements in the sentence and adverbs modify adjectives, verbs and other adverbs.
   
      Kare wa Midsayap e ( ni ) ikimasu.            He goes to Midsayap.  
        S                                           V                     S     V         adverb
     In the example, “to Midsayap” is written after the verb “goes”  but “Midsayap e” is written before the verb  “ikimasu”.  Japanese adverbs should be placed before the modified words.

    1.  Tanaka-san wa Cotabato e ikimashita.             Mr. Tanaka went to Cotabato   
    2.  Kare wa gakkoo e ikimasen deshita.                 He did not go to school.

    5.  Anata wa doko e ikimasu ka.                            Where will you go ?  ( do you go )
    6.  Utto-san wa Davao e ikimasen.                                    Mr. Utto will not go to Davao. ( does not go )              
    7.  Watashi wa Baguer e  ikimasu.                                     I go to Baguer.
        In Japanese as in other languages, there are regular and irregular verbs. However, irregular verbs are very few in number – only two basic verbs in all. All the rest of the verbs are regular with exception of a few which are slightly irregular in some respects. 
        The Japanese verbs are of two kinds – “Godan” verbs and “ichidan” verbs. The “godan” verbs, literally five row verbs, are so called because they have different bases of conjugation. They are sometimes called strong verbs or consonant verbs.  The “ichidan” verbs, literally one row verbs, are so called because they have been thought to have only one base of conjugation. They are sometimes called weak verbs  or vowel verbs.
         The dictionary form of all “ichidan” verbs ends either in “iru” or “eru”. All other regular verbs belong to the “godan” verbs with few exceptions. The following verbs ends in “eru” or “iru” but they are “godan” verbs ; hairu; kaeru; mairu; iru; kiru and shiru.
