Demasu and Dekakemasu?

Question:


What is the different between the both,I really don't understand so please explain in details.

Also can you write an example sentence for demasu and dekakemasu with translation.Thanks

Answer:


"demasu" can be used for both things and people and "dekakemasu" is only for people.
but when I use "dekakeru (-masu)", the person usually has a 'destination' (for shopping, to work etc.)
"deru" sounds action only

- mizu ga demasu --> water comes out.
- kodomo ga soto ni demasu --> the child goes out.
- soto ni dete kudasai --> please go out (or evacuate)

-------- dekakemasu;
- shuumatsu wa dokoka ni dekakemasuka? (do you plan to go somewhere this weekend?)
- yuuenchi ni dekakemasu/ikimasu (I'm going to an amusement park.)
