Excellent material. Very well -presented - it is easy to see your face while you speak, a big help (I am hard of hearing). I have been using Te forms without knowing it - now I understand the mechanics behind the form. Understand? No. Not yet. Japanese requires study, lots of study. I would appreciate a video of more common useful Te form sentences that a traveler might use. Domo arigato gosaimasu

Helpful, thank you. Random question, what is difference between "chotto" and "sukoshi?" Just curious.
@JapanizeMe17 күн бұрын
Great question! Both "ちょっと" (chotto) and "少し" (sukoshi) mean "a little" or "a bit" in Japanese, but they are used in slightly different contexts. ちょっと (chotto): Often used in casual conversation. Can imply: A small quantity, degree, or amount of time. An action performed with a light or casual attitude. Something quite significant. Something difficult to judge or evaluate. 少し (sukoshi): More formal and versatile, used in both casual and formal situations. Specifically refers to a small quantity or amount. Often used when quantifying something.

I've seen McDonald's written as マクドナルド
@JapanizeMe19 күн бұрын
Absolutely right! "マクドナルド" (Makudonarudo) is the katakana representation of "McDonald's" in Japanese. It's commonly shortened to "マック" (Makku)or マクド(makudo) in casual conversation. 🍔🍟

おはようございますか、こんにちはか、こんばんは。はじめまして。😊 How should i write my name Vilius in japanese, when there no symbols for V or L? ヴィリウス or ビリウス ? If i would adopt katakana to lithuanian language there would be lil bit different hehe😂 M and N would share same symbols just sound separated by "(dakuten?) also B and V, L and R, H and F would go together and sounds between would separated by "(dakuten?) and °(handakuten?) would need only for h turn to p 😄☺️ Some lithuanian vowels aswell would use " and ° 😊 like ą, ę, į, ų (longest sound vowels) with " and ė, y, ū (longer sound vowels) with ° 😄 そして、ヒデオとよんでください。😄☺️

Also the phrase 'chotto ------- kamo' means or implies 'chotto ---- kamo shiranai'

Yes, that's correct! The phrase 'ちょっと ------- かも' (chotto ------- kamo) is a short way of saying 'ちょっと ------- かもしれない' (chotto ------- kamo shirenai). Both casual ways to express uncertainty or a small possibility.

One more, where you will be giving your birthday party? How to say this.
@JapanizeMe112 күн бұрын
Great question! To ask "Where will you be giving your birthday party?" in Japanese, you can say: 誕生日パーティーはどこでやる予定ですか? (Tanjōbi pātii wa doko de yaru yotē desuka) 誕生日パーティーはどこでやるの? Casual way (friend or family) (Tanjōbi pātii wa doko de yaruno) This sentence breaks down as follows: 誕生日パーティー (tanjōbi paatii) = birthday party (You can also say 誕生日会(tanjōbi kai) どこで (doko de) = where やる (yaru) = to do/give 予定です (yotei desu) = plan to do か (ka) / の (no)= question marker

Thank you for your observation! You're right, "いいえ(iie)" is used, but it's less common for directly declining something. Similar to いいえ (iie), we use "いえ(ie)" or "いや(iya)" to mean "No," and often add phrases like 違います (chigaimasu) or 大丈夫です (daijōbu desu) in a more conversational way. I appreciate your comment-keep sharing your thoughts! 😊

That by the way is an universal sound expression in every country, anybody will understand these sounds But It's impossible to say uun for someone who is far from you Uun is not a word, if you have your mouth closed, it's just a sound. It's just like in English when you respond with the sound ( anha ) with hour mouth closed See if the sound goes far That's so fuuny!

Hello! I recently started watching your videos. I love them, seriously! I have been seriously studying Japanese since I went to Japan 6 months ago. I have a tutor, many books, and I practice daily. I've seen 100s of Japanese/English learning videos on KZbin. Your videos are awesome because you get right to the point. I am a teacher with over 30 years of experience, and I know you are an excellent teacher. I recently retired and live in Las, Vegas, Nevada. So I have a lot of time to study and practice. Your English is excellent. I used to teach ESL, and I want to teach English in Japan. ありがとございます!。⛩✌

Hi what does this 当て字 mean?
@JapanizeMe118 күн бұрын
"当て字" is like picking kanji characters based on their sounds or meanings alone. It's choosing kanji characters based on how they're pronounced, without worrying about what they actually mean. Like 寿司(sushi) Or sometimes, selecting characters based on their meanings, regardless of how they're pronounced. Like 案山子(kakashi)

Another great and useful lesson, ユーリさん! 🌹🌹 According to Japanese culture, it's considered unpolite to respond "Thank you" or something similar if someone make you a compliment, isn't it? It's better to say something as: "いいえ、いいえ。 or まだ、まだ。" That's correct?
@JapanizeMe122 күн бұрын
ラウルさん、いつもありがとうございます! Your understanding of Japanese culture is spot on! ✨ In Japan, it's common to downplay compliments rather than directly accepting them. Responses like "いえいえ" or "まだまだです", as well as "ぜんぜん" or "とんでもないです," are often used to modestly reply. However, it's also appreciated to accept compliments, especially for things like clothing or hairstyles, with a simple "ありがとうございます." 😄
