What is "休みですよ"?

Learning Japanese Forum - Ask a Tutor

I read texts, found somewhere at Russian Internet. There is such dialog:

A: 火曜日に大阪デバートへ行きます。

B: 大阪デバートは火曜日、休みですよ。

I can’t understand the unswer. It seems I understand every word (Osaka, debates, Tuesday, holiday), but can’t catch the meaning of the whole sentence.

And one more question

土曜日は山川さんの誕生日です。

  土曜日の午後、山川さんのうちへ行きます。

田中さんと行きます

Saturday is Yamakawa-san’s birthday. I will visit him on Saturday’s noon. Tanaka-san will also visit (Yamakawa-san).
If it is right, why there is “と”, not “も”?

(My English is awful :))) )

You are learning a lot of Kanji! Amazing!

「休み」 means “holiday,” but also means “absent,” “time-off,” “rest,” etc. “デバート” must be “デパート,” means “department store.” “大阪” is the name of the store. So, “大阪デパートは火曜日、休みですよ。” means "Osaka department store is closed on Tuesday. "

休み は 何を しますか？ What do you do in the holidays.
山川さん は 休み です。 Yamakawa san is absent.
あ～、休み が ほしい！ Ohhh, I want to have a break.

When you say “田中さんと行きます,” it means “I go with Tanaka-san.” You are right! If you wans to say “Tanaka-san will also go,” then you say “田中さんも行きます。” Remember “と” means “with”

ありがとう! It is デパート！ I wondered why there is no 「に」 after Osaka. Now it makes sense, thank you. I will tell administrators of that Russian site about this misprint.
I like learning kanji. Especially I like to write them. When I think about something, I automatically drew flowers and leaves. Now I automatically write hiragana and kanji :slight_smile:
