Today’s Japanese

rimokon ga nai… = I can’t find the remote control… (literally, it means ‘remote control does not exist’)
“ga” makes the preceeding noun the subject of the verb. “nai” means “something does not exist” or negation. “rimokon” is remote control. You can replace it with other nouns. “terebi (TV) ga nai” etc.
You can’t use “nai” for animals. You need to say “inai” instead for people or living animals not existing. For example, “Curious ga inai = (I don’t see/I can’t find Curious)”, etc.
Now, let me just say “rimokon ga nai!” It must have fallen down from the bed. … Aaaaaaaaaaand, “megane (eyeglasses) ga nai”. Well, first, I should find my glasses so that I can find the remote control. (^^)
