It’s a bit more complicated, so I will make a future video on that as there are two different types of adjective and they conjugate differently 😊👌

Why do they finish after the word with desu? Thx
@JapaneseWithJadeАй бұрын
Adding です (desu) to the end makes the sentence polite. It’s a more formal way of forming the sentence. If you say the same thing, e.g. これはペン (kore wa pen) without adding です (desu), it still means “this is a pen”, but it’s more casual 😊
@gsr4535Ай бұрын
"This is a pen" must be standard Nihongo teaching sentence! Every textbook and teacher uses it! LoL!
@JapaneseWithJadeАй бұрын
I agree 😂 I think it must be because it’s easier for native English speakers to grasp as the grammar for that type of sentence translates word-for-word!

Many decades ago, I took Shotokan karate, and our sensei was from Japan. He would speak to us quite a bit in Japanese, but mostly just counting from 1 to 10. I had no idea that it was much more complicated than I first learned. lol

@JapaneseWithJade3 ай бұрын
Ahh, yes, もう (mou) is a trickier little word to get, but super useful! It might be a bit advanced to make a video about now in the course, but I’ll make one later! Think of it as meaning “already”. もう食べたの? (Mou tabeta no?) - Have you already eaten it? And you have to hold the “o” sound at the end for longer, that’s the difference in pronunciation!

There's also naze for why i think. I guess another question word would be how? dou desu ka?
@JapaneseWithJade3 ай бұрын
Yes, that's correct for なぜ naze also meaning 'why'! I never usually use it, but it is common. I can't believe I forgot 'how' though 😂 Rookie mistake! どう Dou - How (but in the case of 'how is it?' どうですか dou desuka). どうやって Dou yatte - How ('how do you ...?') E.g. How do you eat it? - どうやって食べますか dou yatte tabemasuka Maybe I should make a whole other video on how!

When i was watching dragonball they used the word nanimono. Which google says also means who?
@JapaneseWithJade3 ай бұрын
Well, 何“nani” means “what” and the kanji for that version of者“mono” means “person”, so “what person” would also translate as “who”, yes. It could also be translated as “what kind of person”. However, I’ve never heard it used in real life and have never used it myself either!

Genki probably doesn’t mention those words at this point because they don’t mean “this” or “that” and aren’t useful words for beginners to know. They’re also typically used in impolite conversation and the point of Genki is to teach you to get along with people, not offend them 😂😂

I agree! In Japan, they say that the customer is God, so they would always be extremely polite (typically) to clients. Especially if it’s a fancy restaurant and not just a ramen shop or an izakaya, for example.

what would be funny is when he found the wallet the girl said "watashi no saifu desu yo!" lol adding the yo would make it sound like maybe she is accusing him of trying to steal it or something?
@JapaneseWithJade4 ай бұрын
Haha, potentially! Adding “yo” to the end just adds emphasis and it depends more on what tone of voice and facial expression you’re using as to what meaning it has. If she said the whole phrase angrily, it could be implied that she thought he was stealing it. If she said it with a tone of relief, then it would come across as more grateful by adding the “yo” 😊

Advice of the day: learn one language well before trying another. Also, if there's someone out there trying to teach a language as difficult as Japanese with explanations in perfect English (unlike with most native Japanese teachers), don't be so ungrateful and just enjoy it.
