SUGGESTED USAGE: 私はアメリカ人ですけど、妹は宇宙人なのです。 watashi wa amerika jin desu kedo, imouto wa uchuu jin na no desu. I am an American, but my little sister is an alien. [This example comes in quite handy for checking to see if your listener is listening. if your listener shows no reaction, there is a good chance he's not listening.]

ABOUT SUGGESTED USAGE:

私 watashi - I, me but when the は wa (hirganaga ha) follows, it can only be translated as 'I' because は wa is the main topic never a direct object
アメリカ人 amerika jin - American Just like 宇宙人 uchuu jin simply add a 人 jin to a country to get the countrys people
ですけど desu kedo - but saying this is true, but...
妹 imouto - younger sister older sister is 姉 ane
なのです na no desu - a little bit added to give the impression of conveying truth
