Thank you fotr this video. You forgot "the humorous wig" when using "girl" phrases.

Does "atare" or "watare" mean anything? That sound fun :3

Realizing how egoless that sounds. Amazing! and thank you. This is very informative and is easy to understand <3 Also for some reason I almost understood what you were also talking about :D

Holy hell, the Genki books really do leave out a lot of stuff.

So... where does "ina" (否) fall into usage?

I've been watching subtitled anime for almost 20 years (god where has the time gone) and aizuchi is probably the only thing I picked up on aside from a few dozen basic vocab words.

I saw an anime where a character jokingly called themselves (name)-sama and their friends got mad at them. I understood it as them pretending to be royalty and acting really arrogant. Is that correct? Have you ever seen someone do that IRL?

I'm only going to Japan for one week yet am trying to master Japanese at least at a basic conversational level in a month.. Lmao. I have done Japanese on Duolingo for a while so I know some basic grammars, phrases, and vocabs. I feel like I can do it 😂😂

Lol😂 so true

Yes please

So it can be "so" Tomarrow is Tanaka san's birthday party, so, did you want to go?

Would it be strange to use いえ、結構です in any of these cases when refusing? Also oftentimes I would thank the cashier back when they handed me the bag, just after they were thanking me, was that a strange thing to do?

This reminds me of arguments I've had with other English speakers who think singular "they" is ungrammatical. Often, they use it themselves accidentally in the conversation. BTW, while people specifically requesting to be called by they/them pronouns for gender identity reasons is fairly new, it's long been a part of English to refer to an unknown person by those pronouns. "Someone lost their phone." "Someone cut me off while driving, so I honked my horn at them."

funny. this "ya" just sounds like a german ja which just means yes

HE o suru is a deliberate action though.

10:10 Omoshiroi yo!

Shika = only.

Reiji = zero o' Clock

You could say the mora is accented.

ありがとうございます. Beautiful

Can a stoic be a japanese speaker😅. The conversation sounds very expressional

I promise you're caring more about what you're saying than the clerk does

Honestly, just get this mean a trophy, his way to teach japanese really makes it looks simple and fun, I love Kaname videos

Kaname san wa yoku oshieru yo.

I Am going to japan next year for my 38th bday, hope to make use of all this

そう言うものなの

Halfway inclined to pull the gaijin social rules card and preempt all the questions by just leading with "ah, you don't need to do anything, I'll just pay, thanks" in Japanese. Convenience stores in the US work fine with damn near zero speaking at all aside from the dollar total, and if I want your help, I'll ask for it. The whole song and dance is completely unnecessary.

So when the staff says “ありがとうございます”, Do I need to say it back 🤔

That is why one of the best ways to learn kanji is by reading things with furigana and with a translation option to confirm it is what you think it is, besides that just watching translated japanese shows

にが💀

Kono nihongo, muzukashii desu ne

I feel that Japanese language is language of context 😂 I think this is how people expect know how to read the air😂

I wish the konbini workers I've spoken to spoke as clearly as Kaname. They always mumble and I'm lucky to even hear "fukuro".

Doitsu is Germany. Kanji?

要先生の動画はいいです💦💦🥵🥵

Unfortunately my surname translates to joke in Japanese.

I was struggling a lot with this grammar point, どうもありがとうございます！

Dear Kaname, is there a way to know how kanji sounds withkut looking them up in dictionary? I'm beginning to learn, and already have the following: すき that transforms into 好き. So, is there a way to know how second sounds, if only one literal changes? Thanks!

I never heard of warm bentou.

Gozaimasu is the honorific for to be. Daijoubu I was taught means okay.

Is there something I can say in the end after they say arigatou gozaimashita? Like "No, I have to thank"

ややややややややややややや

That explains everytime i answer いいえ thinking I was a smart a$$$ but then got the "wtf" look from the clerk.... Thank you!! May those who got offended by me forgive me and find peace inside.....

I would love a similar video about restaurants. I can think of many times I've embarrassed myself at Japanese McDonald's or in front of waiters etc and it kinda makes me feel hesitant to go into unfamiliar restaurants

Could you make a video on how to study kanji properly?

Yeah, absolutely. Just get to about N3 level and just read manga (shounen and shoujo specifically because they have furigana), not only is it fun but it's a good study method to learn vocab and the kanji follows from there

Omg thank you learning counters was doing my head in 😭

Hahaha! I started to use hitotsu futatsu everywhere because I don't want to make a mistake. Found out that's what everyone does anyway. 😂

wow the flow of all these japanese sentences makes way more sense now

8:32 Is that sarcasm at the end there? Oh it's a shame... With the "finally" It makes me wonder if there is an implication that they should have left a lot sooner.
