The “got you” gesture is the Leo diCaprio finger snapping meme I guess.

thank you - I learned something here !

Why this video has the flag of the Republic of Cospaia as the thumbnail ?

If you look at the chest flag patch for competitive Japanese judoka it says "Nippon". However, if you look at the chest flag patches of competitive (WKF) Japanese karateka it says "Japan" on theirs. I'd never noticed it before last years Olympics.

Thank you. I started to learn something new. I have even seen two or three of these gestures used before and had no idea what they meant.

The most kawai word(no need to translate): 私はディックが大好きです

So is someone's birthday among the viewers ?

Interesting history

Oh crap... Now that I know the fascists used name Nippon I absolutely have to call it Nihon to ensure we thoroughly disrespect them and their garbage state.

We don't care about Japan at all.

Bro you sound like Myst

I grew up in a country where "nippon" were a brand of chocolate rice wafers and I cannot seriously say it without thinking of sweets. So I'll always default to Nihon.

Basically how they study kanji in japan,1 kanji with 5 word with that kanji every day in the first grade and then 3 kanji every day with 15 or more words and compound of 2 kanji or many

You put an example up for a split second and *after* it's gone you say "Here's an example of this" You might wanna work on this for future videos because this makes it hard to follow

Great intro lesson!

リコは可愛いですよ｡そごいビデオ。😊

You forgot "Sho". "Sho" is a lordly condescending version of I. It's always good to know when someone's talking down to you 😂

"Washi" is used by people who have lost their front teeth. It's so they don't spit in people's faces. If you had any missing teeth you'd also use Washi.

I always remember "Ore" as thug speak.

Thank you so much

There is a gesture a japanese girl made and I could not understand, she used the 2 yatta fingers, ✌, then started to make a similar sign as you showed in the 1:00 of the video. Kind like a quote and quote USA people make but just with one hand. That happend when we were saying goodbye and goodnight. What this sign exactly mean?

hey, hi, hello there, are you a language teacher? why would you use a voice over for a word?

Clicked for the dva cosplay owo

That happy birthday at the end was rly wholesome

Thqnk u now I can say another word then onii chan

No.. Katakana was used to help Japanese monks (where Japanese was already a spoken language) pronounce Chinese characters. They were developing their own written language and wanted to use Chinese, but their spoken language didn't map correctly, and they needed a way to pronounce the Chinese. Also they used it fill the language when Chinese characters fell short (slang for example). So just like today when you don't know how to pronounce a Chinese character there is furigana above the kanji, that is exactly what katakana was for Japanese originally. That stuck, and now manly used for loan words, just like it was for Chinese. It turns something they can't pronounce into something they can.

Well the letter ン or ん represents a nasal sound that ends up sounding like: •N before dental consonants like T, D •NG (like in siNGer) before K •M before labial consonants like B, P In fact most of the times, like at the end of a word, or before consonants not mentioned above, ン sounds more like NG instead of N.

interesting. I also read that using katakana makes a word "sound robotic". I guess in a sense it's similar to foreign words being written in katakana. I personally as a Japanese learner still prefer to use Katakana to write words whose kanji I either don't know yet or am to lazy to write. 🙂 That way I know that the words are generally written with kanji.

I don't even know you and u tell me sorry and subtitle every word u say.. what?

リチャルー 先輩はぺらぺらです (๑´ㅂ`๑) 🌸✨

Riko chan 🇯🇵Arigato ⛩️🙏

And I thought I am ready to take japanese college level😑😑

Light bilb

I’m so confused I’m learning katakana now so after that I should work in hiragana and then kanji?

Paem?

Nihon? 多分 Nippon? 多分

I am beginner, I want to learn japanese, so how can I do this ??? And how should I start to learn?

Japanese written language in a nutshell: over 15,000 unique characters still in use, 5 different "alphabets", and 3 major "reading styles" . It's incredibly difficult for me to interpret more than just the basics :(

どうもありがとうございます！！私は単語を探していましたが、それでもこれが大好きです:)

Thanks!
