Father's Day Japanese
Let's learn some adjectives to describe dad!
パパ
papa
or
お父さん
otousan
Father
wa (is)
大黒柱
daikoku bashira
provider;
backbone (of family) [from the main pillar of a traditional Japanese home]
頼もしい
tanomoshii
Reliable
強い
tsuyoi
Strong
働き者
hataraki mono
hard worker
かっこいい
kakko ii
Cool
In this context, adding "desu" at the end of the sentence is not necessary but can be used to make the sentence sound more polite and formal.
Without "desu":
お父さんは頼もしい。(Otousan wa tanomoshii.) - This is a perfectly correct and natural sentence, commonly used in casual or familiar contexts.
With "desu":
-お父さんは頼もしいです. (Otousan wa tanomoshii desu.) - This version is more polite and can be used in formal or respectful contexts.
Both are correct, so you can choose based on the level of formality you want to convey.
