Can you explain which form is used for what? Sorry, i just started learning Japanese, and im not sure which form to use

[@hopeshineseternal]

thank you soo much this was rlly helpful

[@NPC10124]

Thanks; I'll note it down

[@Fromatic]

​@@exoticgem3834 I think basically it's.. dictionary form: for informal masu form: formal/polite te form... you'll have to go watch hours of videos for that one

[@LukainX]

I learned about this in my Japanese class. Forgot it totally.

[@beaurrms]

Constructive criticism: Hello I am learning Japanese and I think this video is very helpful to know the most used verbs but I think it would help if you provided an example sentence for each word. I know how to say them and what they mean but I wouldn’t know how to use them in a sentence. You could add example sentences? Please

[@didjaseemyjams1582]

I agree, sentences would help so much!! お願いします🙇‍♀️

[@starpeep5769]

Search up the transitivity and non transitivity of verbs also nouns (chinese nouns mostly, some japanese) can become verbs with suru (this is just ONE function of suru, even though they tie into it's meaning) but WITHOUT the object particle, and if you have an adjective describing it, it won't become a verb without using the object particle, and you cannot have another object particle (o, を, wo) to say you did something to it, you need ni. also suru is much more than do. (this will make sense if you actually research the particles. some of the words aren't particles btw, not everything is a particle, particles literally have no kanji and don't derive from verbs and they aren't nouns, SO GO DO IN DEPTH RESEARCH (they are jst considered particles because their fnctionswhich are the same as english)) ok heres examples. ジュースを飲むことが好き（ですよ）romaji: juusu o nomu koto ga suki english: i like drinking juice コンビニにただ達すために、何マイルも通りを歩いてきた romaji: konbini ni tada tassu tame ni, nanmairu mo toori o aruita english: I walked the street for miles just to reach the convenience store ok ima just combine all the verbs into one sentence even if they seem stupid and grammatically incorrect 私は夜中に働き疲れて、泣いてきた I cried, tired from working all night watashi wa yonaka ni hatarakitsukarete naite kita (the 連用形, continuative form of verbs, which is what masu is attached to so remove the masu to get this, is like te, but it can do much more, but idk. usually connected actions like get tired of working (飽きる not 疲れる）like 働き飽きる) 母親の家の中に住むよ。 宿題を手伝ってくれてありがとうございました - thanks for helping me with my homework romaji - shukudai o tetsudatte kurete arigatou gozaimashita (tetsudau is to lend a hand, unlike tasukeru which is serious help) 生まれて待ったよ！I waited for this since I was born umarete matta yo 仕事を休んできた I took a break from my job shigoto o yasunde kita しきを覚えてきた - I memorized the formula shiki o oboete kita それがわかってすぐに、忘れた - as soon as I understood it, I forgot it.sore ga wakatte (wakaru is intransitive) チョコケーキを選び買って、食べた I chose the chocolate cake to buy and ate it choko keeki o erabikatte tabeta (not really i couldnt think of a sentence probably grammatically incorrect) 鉛筆を借りて返して、椅子 を座って動き始めて、どこへも走って、待ち合わせ場所を見つけて、君に合って (I literally don't get ni au but ok)、一緒に勉強して宿題をした、電話を使って、母親と会話して、帰って、食べ物を作って、さよならと言ってまた出て、美しい桜を見ててから足音を聞いてて、隠れて、ノートを書いて、話すのを聞いて、書いたノートを読んで楽しく思って、なんか聞いて言ってるのを知ってて、母親の車を乗りに行って、降りて帰ったのに、まだなにかを買いたかったので、お菓子を払って、水のボトルを売って急いで帰って、寝て起きて、母親が見知らぬ人からのお菓子を取らないことを教えてくれて私が新しいものを学んで、テレビショーが始まって踊って歌を歌って水で泳ぎ遊んで、ショーが終わって、上って立った。ok im not translatiing this

[@Finity_twenty_ten]

When to use each form: Use the infinitive form (or the dictionary form) if in English, the form has a to before it if you were going to say "to read" in English, you would say "読む" in Japanese Use the connective form (or the te form) When you want to talk about another verb alongside the original verb. If you wanted to say drink and eat you would say "飲んで と 食べます" Use the polite form (or the masu form) if you want to talk about one verb and one object. If you wanted to say "I drink water" You would say "私 は 水 を 飲みます"

[@nikik.2i2]

Thank you so much ❤❤😭😭 I can understand now

[@idontknow3037]

I love how I've already been introduced to most of this vocab. Now I get to see them together. In one place. With a cute background, clear text, and clear pronunciation (Thank you/Arigato, Tanaka Sensei)

[@captenarii3938]

I'm learning basic japanese and the te form and masu form is confusing so this is very helpful to distinguish which ones especially verbs!

[@Finity_twenty_ten]

te form is for extra verbs. If you wanted to say "I eat and drink" you would say 私 は 食べて と 飲みます. Because eating is another thing that you do. Does that clear it up?

Ich habe den Film am Wochenende gesehen und bin sehr dankbar jetzt dieses Video gesehen zu haben. Vielen Dank lieber Hiro, dass du deine sehr persönliche Geschichte hier geteilt hast.

[@matildawolfram4687]

I want to thank the author of the channel for making this beautiful and useful video for us! Many people are embarrassed to speak a foreign language if they have no speaking skills. People are afraid to hear criticism from others in their address. It all comes from having a psychological complex - to make a mistake. But, after all, he who does nothing is not wrong! In Yuriy Ivantsiv's workshop "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign language" states that we need to talk as much as possible: with yourself, with the mirror, with inanimate objects, with children and with pets. Find an interlocutor in real life or online. Talk without shyness. People won't care how you speak. They understand that you are a foreigner, as long as they understand you. They may even acknowledge your progress in their language and compliment you. However, always be prepared for criticism of your speaking skills. If you have the will to speak, you will gain an interesting interlocutor to consolidate your knowledge. Everyone is strewn with mistakes - don't be afraid to learn from them. As the Latin wisdom says, "walk and thou shalt not go astray". In the book "Polyglot Notes" by YuriyIvantsiv an entire chapter is devoted to the development of spoken language. Here you will find many useful tips and each student can choose a technique that suits him or her best! I wish you all the best of luck in your language learning!

[@Benjcachou]

[@HingLaw]

Thanks very much for putting up these videos on Japanese learning. I had watched this video and the one with that with 50 Basic Japanese Verbs & Example Phrases. The verbs are in a layout I find them to be much easier to get a hold with the form conjugation than teaching materials by other sources. There are two issues with them: 1. Those individual verbs appear in different orders in respective videos. Just wonder if it'd be easier to follow if they're arranged, say, in the hiragana order. 2. 助ける is in the 50 Basic Japanese Verbs & Example Phrases video but not this; likewise, 手伝う is in this but not 50 Basic Japanese Verbs & Example Phrases. Thanks again!

[@chaeoa.]

ます is for being formal towards people like your boss, teacher, etc. which we called polite language 丁寧語 and dictionary/plain form is the informal version of ます て form ① making a request informally Example: drink juice ジュース飲んで ② Listing adjectives and verbs, which translates to AND Examples: Kim's hair is long and beautiful キムは髪が長くて、奇麗だよ My dog eat a chicken and sleep 俺の犬は鶏肉を食べて、寝る And much more usages like 〜てある 〜てほしい

When you notice they are all saying the same thing 😅 毎日、本を読む。 Every day, I read books. (just plain Japanese) 毎日、本を読みます。 Every day, I read books. (being polite towards the unknown persons reading my comment) 毎日、本を読んで、日本語を勉強します。 Every day, I read books and study the Japanese language.

[@gaius_enceladus]

This is great! I learned spoken Japanese (via romaji) at a night-school class many years ago. The kanji characters have always seemed quite difficult and intimidating to me, but now I see that the "ru" (which looks a bit like a "3"), the "ku" which looks like a "less-than" ( < ) and the "masu" ones are not too bad at all! The "ka" reminds me of a pile of books so that too could be learned! I think I could gradually learn the basics now, thanks to this video! A suggestion - what would help me (as an English speaker) would be if the common word endings (like the "ru" and "masu") were visually-separated more from the rest of the word. That would be a *big* help as it would make focusing on the rest of the word - the part that differs - easier. Just my "two yen's worth" - keep up the great work! Arigato gozaimasu!

[@razzadazza1170]

This is a great video for practicing drills. can you please make more?

[@nars1288]

Thank you! I’m surprised by how much I knew in dictionary form. This really helped to see the pattern of the change from masu to te form. I’m just making a fun hobby of learning some Japanese since I’ll be going the end of this year! 🫠

[@Carlany]

Have fun on the trip!

[@_PM__]

Same here. Many of the words are ones I'm going through on Anki. Adding the masu and te forms were a real help. For about half of the video I was repeating the masu and te forms, but soon I started getting the rhythm and the pattern down and rather than repeating after, I was saying them with her. Great video.

[@justcommenting5117]

There's a rule for both the masu and the te form from the dictionary form, which is: For "masu" form: Ichidan: remove "ru" and just add the "masu" Godan: change the "u" to "i" and add "masu" For te form the rules are: Ichidan: just remove the "ru" and add the "te" Godan: If the verbs ends in... -u, tsu or ru: remove it and little tsu + te -nu,bu or mu: remove is and add "nde" -ku: remove it and add "ite" -gu: remove it and add "ide" -su: remove it and add "shite"

[@chaeoa.]

ます form ① Ichidan verb 一段動詞: Remove the る in the verb and add ます ② Godan verb 五段動詞: Change the -u sound after the consonant into -i sound and add ます ③ Special verbs する → します くる (来る) → きます (来ます) て form ① Ichidan verb 一段動詞: It's the same with the ます form ② Godan verb 五段動詞: う·つ·る → って (Ex. To meet 会う → 会って) む·ぬ·ぶ → んで (Ex. To play 遊ぶ → 遊んで) ぐ → いで (Ex. To swim 泳ぐ → 泳いで) く → いて Note: To go 行く doesn't conjugate as 行いて but 行って ③ Special verbs する → して くる (来る) → きて (来て)

Hello minnasan! One quick answer about this video : explain to me, what Masu and Te forms are used for? Is it present tense / past tense??

[@JJKMagic]

Not at all. Masu is the neutral polite form. Basically the safe form to learn since it can be used in most situations. Te on the other hand is the form used when requesting/ordering someone to do something ("Please open the window") OR used when two actions follow each other ("I woke up and ate breakfast.")
