Karukami さん great lessons! can you pin this helpful comment of yours!? it will be at top always!!

[@gabagandalfoftheweed]

I usually read "good bye" as translation for さようなら. Wouldn't "farewell" be a lot closer as translation?

[@Karukami1]

Yup, sorry, you're right, I'm still not used to some english words, I'm sorry, I'll edit that :3

'Onara' literally means 'fart'.

[@Maki-00]

このビデオをありがとう! I think the reason Japanese is hard to learn for many people is because they don't teach you how Japanese people speak in real life! So many things I've been taught by multiple teachers is either weird or rude when actually spoken. I'm going to keep watching KZbin videos to learn real Japanese!

[@screamcheeese7175]

And this is why I've been told by Japanese people to watch Japanese shows or movies without the subtitles lol You might not understand a lot, but you will eventually. It's the next best thing if you can't spend a year or two actually living in Japan.

[@alfredschlicht2662]

@@kamakirinoko You're definitely off your rockers.

[@SelphieFairy]

I'm pretty sure this is true to an extent for all languages (like textbook is gonna be totally different from real life), but Japanese seems to be especially, because of how many different ways you can say phrases and how they have a tendency to almost drop every word from a sentence and contract/shorten everything else lol. I guess they're lazy speakers? Or should I say "efficient?" (:

[@peterprakash3602]

A baby can't be a master...it will take time...native speakers are native speakers. Mother tongue is mother tongue...by seeing you tube , one can't become fluent ...so pl try different sources...see movies, read books, watch serials, visit Japan n stay there for couple of years, you can feel the difference...but still you'll be keep learning...

[@user-qt5xg5ju8z]

....anime

[@GranRey-0]

One I was taught by my "Chef Sensei" was: Mata aimashou (また会いましょう) = Let us meet again. It's polite so you wouldn't use it with close friends. But it could be used with someone you do business with to say you'll do business again or maybe even if you aren't really going to meet again but to say is as flattery because it shows they're desirable to meet again with.

Two things I really love about your lessons: first, you clearly explain what these phrases mean - both literally and in practice - instead of just leaving them as a bunch of expressions one has to memorize; and, second you give such clear illustrations of how these expressions are used in real-life situations that don't feel artificial like in many language text books. Thank you so much!

Always awesome lessons. The way you structure each lesson is so smooth goes with flow and is like you don't miss any detail, you know our usual doubts, errors, questions ... you are amazing beside, the cultural issues behind words and phrases...you are a Japanese genius teacher.

[@narri214]

Basic impression I have always had, I don't know if it has any truth to it or not, but Americans have learned to say sayonara as goodbye because of the American Military bases in Japan and the military personal brought the word home after leaving Japan, Similar to how American Military personal brought home the word Boondock (bundók) from the Philippines. With American personal leaving and not usually returning to japan sayonara would be the correct usage, but many probably don't or at least didn't (after WW2 reconstruction/occupation) understand enough of the language to register that the word is used in specific contexts. Just the impression I had.

Hi Misa. Even though I'm an intermediate student of Japanese, I find your videos very helpful because they deal with the way people really talk & not the textbook way. One phrase I'm still unsure about is いい　から which usually comes at the end of a sentence. I know both words, but I see the 2 of them together translated many different ways. Any comments? ありがとう　ございました

Your English is excellent. Not just the words but the pronounciation as well. You're smooth when talking in English. So i hope to be as smooth or close when finally becoming fluent in Japanese. Very helpful lesson as well. I had no idea saying sayounara was wrong. Thank you.

[@ross1972]

I really liked this length of video enough infomation to be useful but not too much to be an over load. ありがとうございます :)

[@MaskedMarv]

You do a really good job of explaining this topic. In my experience it not only depends on the situation, but also the area of Japan. Some areas use super casual Japanese, even in fairly formal situations, whereas other parts of the country it is more dependent on the situation. Keep up the good work!

[@maur853]

Ooh I wish this video was out a couple of weeks ago. I was waiting in line for a roller-coaster in Disneyland Paris, when I heard two people behind me speaking Japanese. Super hyped, I wanted to start a conversation in Japanese (for the first time with real people haha!) and it was great! After almost a year of self studying I was really proud of me. I was able to hold the conversation (obv it was pretty basic) even if I couldn't grasp 100% of what they were telling me. But then, when we had to start the ride and say goodbye... I couldn't. I always skip the greetings part when I start studying a new language, so I just made some REALLY weird sounds with my voice. That was so embarrassing...

[@jaimefernandezestevez117]

Hahaha that's so common to all of us. Good job!

[@yunoewig3095]

[@sukubo313]

こんにちは、みささん。This is my first visit to your KZbin. I found this lesson pretty basic because I already knew everything you covered (except one thing: that men often omit ね in またね), but I like the way you discuss it and explain the underlying meaning. Like with お疲れ様でした, for example, you explain it's literal meaning as well as how it is actually used in conversation. I'll keep browsing your channel for other videos that cover topics I don't know as well, and hopefully learn something new! ありがとうございました。

[@matthagen67]

Soo... Sayo Onara is technically the Japanese version of Farty Marty? Me gusta! :)

[@ejames80]

Pretty much.

[@Emailen]

this is weird because in the 4 years i've been studying japanese at university not a single native japanese teacher had ever said anything about this. And for 3 solid years we always, after every class would all go like "sayonara!". And FINALLY after I staid after class one day our teacher said "mata raishu". Asked him and he said that yes, they don't use sayonara anytime other then at the end of the school year. So yeah.

[@darknevangelist]

I think it's because we are usually taught a lot of formal language skills from the universities. My current teacher is from Kyoto and she teaches us the curriculum but throws in her thoughts and more common use phrases every once in a while. When I was studying Spanish years ago, my teacher told me that they teach us old peoples Spanish and when we visit the countries , they will speak the common street version which could be alot different.

[@gigglehertz]

I love the way you color code the syllables.

[@SrMorua]

This reminds me how lots of North Americans tell me in Spanish "Hasta la vista!" (Equivalent to See ya or See you later) when they see I'm Hispanic. However, even if I understand, no native Spanish speaker I know say that. And by the way it will always make them sound like Arnold Schwarzenegger which is hilarious. It's better to just say "Hasta luego!" or "Nos vemos!"

[@SrMorua]

You are welcome! * literal translation in Spanish = Eres bienvenido. But no one says that to respond a "Thanks" (Gracias) Bienvenido is used as a greeting usually by hosts. Here are some equivalent ways to respond 'thanks': - "De nada" or "No es nada" = Casual way to say "That's nothing" and probably the most used - "Fue un placer" = "It was a pleasure". This one is more formal and sounds really good when you are a host - "Con gusto" = "With pleasure" or "My pleasure". Similar to the one above but can be used anytime. This one is my favorite and leaves a really positive impression when you helped someone. As an additional note, in English people sometimes say "Yes" ("Yeah" "Yep" "Aha" etc) to respond a thanks, this was a cultural shock for me. In Spanish if somebody says "Gracias" and the other person responds "Si" it would sound rude, arrogant, pretentious or uninterested, like if you were looking the other person 'over the shoulder'. I have seeing some bilinguals adopting it, but they would just make a throat noise that sounds like a pleasant "Aha"

[@TheEarthRealm]

goochbuntu Soy dominicano y yo nunca oír 'chao'. Sounds Italian? :)

[@TheEarthRealm]

SrMorua Yo siempre di 'No hay de que.' ^_^

[@confusioneternelle]

“Hasta la vista“ doesn't even sound Spanish to me because it's just so much Schwarzenegger xD I think I'd say something like “Hasta pronto“ or “Hasta mañana“

[@scelestion]

What Hime Naa said. Japanese people are (sometimes too) polite and don't tell foreigners they're using strange phrases. Ask a friend, or ask someone for a quick lesson in Japanese regarding whether さようなら is a good choice. They will tell you it's not if they know it's safe to say.

[@scelestion]

Hime Naa Haha, no, I said you were right! The internet expression "What ... said." means something like "I agree to what ... said." In other words, I just wanted to reinforce what you said. :)

She's good. She does know the equivalent of creating words in the Japanese language. She does deconstruct words. She demonstrated the word(s) may have (a) base word(s).

[@ItsSlusher]

Wow! I regret ever spending money on Rosetta stone, after three minutes of just watching this video i learned more than what 30+ minutes in a course teaches you... Also I purchased adult courses. So why is it teaching me to sound like a five year old?

[@avallach2061]

@owo グーチmoshi But can`t be that way because you`re not a 5 years old. It`s wrong to teach someone to speak like a kid when you`re not a kid, it`ll make you sound stupid and it`s disrespectful with the learner.

[@avallach2061]

@owo グーチmoshi Your mistake is to think that you NEED to learn a new language like you learned your first. This is the most untrue thing ever. You're not a kid anymore, you will interact like an adult with people, not like a kid. I speak 4 languages , so you really can't attack me there saying I don't know how to learn, this is the most ignorant thing someone can say, because everyone is different and learn in different ways. You need to learn the words that a kid say, sure, but you can't be a 30 years old for example speaking like a kid. You don't learn STRUCTURE like you would learn as a KID, because this will make you only lose time, just the words. If you want to learn that way, that's ok, your problem, if it works for you there's no problem in that. I speak English, Spanish, Portuguese (mother-tongue) and a great level Italian and ok level German without never learning anything like a kid would, as an adult, you can organize your study to learn MUCH MUCH faster than a kid learn a language, you just need to be a bit smarter friend. Don't try superiority over people you don't know and don't try to think you own the truth, makes you look really ignorant. But either way all the best to you, good luck in your learnings.

[@gumifox]

How do you say goodbye to someone who's neither your co-worker nor your friend/parent? For example, if you visited your friend's house, how would you say goodbye to their parents? And how would you say goodbye to their siblings who are the same age as you (you won't say mata ne because you're not intended to see them any time soon)? How would you say goodbye to a shop cashier or a bank clerk (in my country it is common to say "good bye/have a nice day" to clerks)?

[@gunshockeddie6704]

It brings up a point that in these days Japanese tend to have English blended in their casual communication, mainly in the middle age tier. I live in HK so I got used to this cultural thing happening ESPECIALLY among fresh grads. In here it is never the case of the lack of Cantonese vocabs, but more of a showing off like a foreign born Chinese. Nope I am not gonna jump into the Chinglish thing... Do you feel the same way that you hear more English in Japanese conversations lately? And I wonder why.

[@SnowmansApartment]

thank you a lot :) I'm always wondering how to reply to "おつかれさまでした" 🤔..

[@shiro3940]

SnowmansApartment: I think you can reply with おつかれさまです or if you're in senpai position, and your kōhai (junior) say おつかれさまでした to you, you can use おつかれさま / おつかれ to reply them (but that's the informal way, or if you just want to sounds more cool, but please never use おつかれ / おつかれさま to your boss, even if you have a close relation with them... because that's normal to pay respect to your boss, someone who pay you) if I'm not wrong, here's the level of formality 1. おつかれさまでした (formal) 2. おつかれさま (less formal) 3. おつかれ (more less formal) but, ehem... I could be possibly wrong, because I'm also still learning (because I learn the most from anime, yeah... I know it's a wrong way to learn Japanese) if would be better if you ask a friend (more preferably if you have a japanese friends that can speak english) or just ask the sensei in this channel

[@shiro3940]

I think, you can also use おつかれさまでした／おつかれさま／おつかれ to reply your friends like in scenario, when you're doing homework together or after finished cleaning class decoration after a bunkasai but again, I could be possibly wrong (because I learnt it from anime lol)

[@furikakez]

Shiro39 is right. Just reply おつかれさまでした。You can use it with your superiors, equals or even subordinates. ごくろうさま is only for your subordinates because it has a connotation that the other person did something for you. Using です / ます and not using informal abbreviations is a must when you are talking to a superior in every single case. If you can't use proper けいご, like a lot of young japanese nowadays, です / ます is the least permissible way to speak to a superior.

エリック yeah I hear "matta ne" or "jaa, matta ne" all the time

[@TerreOak]

doesn't it mean "see you later!" "then, see you later!" ?

[@randomanonymous3717]

Did you heard in japan or did you heard it a lot in "anime" that has some girls in it?

[@Sully9663]

I give your videos a thumbs up before i watch them because they are always so good.

[@invisiblefiddle1645]

Did you learn english from an australian?

[@b-1edward293]

Thank you. Finally an explination on this. Very helpful for a beginner. Since all the learning tools give saiyounara.

[@MasterSenpai420]

I cannot be the only one who thinks this female specimen is both the most cutest, and the most helpful gril. Thank thee, lass o' nippon knowledge.

Ayy Lmao Neckbeard..

[@jayofthedeadd]

“Female specimen”...? Big yikes.

[@shpeen8835]

Alright Misa! This could be what I've been looking for. Good stuff

[@_____._..--_]

I recomend buying a better microphone, sounds like the microphone is stuff with cotton.

[@ridleyroid9060]

Thanks, been looking for different ways to say bye. I'm still a relative newb to nihongo so i appreciate.

[@albertoj.mollinedo4116]

lol I just commented on that too

[@ComboJarryd]

I recently found your channel and am really enjoying the very clear way you explain how and why each word and phrases can or should be used it's great. Also i really like how you break down the different syllables and colour code them hahaha, looking forward to learning more with your videos, thanks alot!

[@Aurinkohirvi]

Japan, stop being so complicated and touchy about being polite and respectful. I'm from Finland and here you can say the same to you boss, your teacher your daddy and your kid. It's all casual and relaxed. No-one considers you behaving bad. We are all equal.

[@Aurinkohirvi]

But I do hope to learn speak some Japanese, and the lesson was interesting (and very good use of screen text). I'll just be a rude casual gaijin. Thank you! Son ja!

[@thBrilliantFool]

They have their culture you have yours. Get over it.

[@thBrilliantFool]

@boom true but yours is inferior.

[@TheCalei]

みさ先生の動画は本当に手伝ってくれました。ありがとうございます！

I'm a simple man. I see a pretty girl, I click play.

Kai Jie Soo ただの変態、、、

[@Osc291]

a lot to take in for a novice, respectfully enjoyed seeing you and will have to view this several more times

[@rosegirlz88]

Oh my goodness this explained some things I have been puzzled about... I feel relieved. Thank you so much from me in Florida

[@goofwear]

like someone else said this video just appeared on my feed I watched it and it was very informative I like how you broke everything down and made it very easy to understand

[@1983parrothead]

さようなら was probably my first Japanese term I heard. I heard it in "Mario Meets Koopzilla". But sometime before this video you uploaded, I knew さようなら is a sad way to say goodbye. しかし、ありがとうございます。

[@JeremyCrow]

Your videos are always so well done. You go into so much detail I always learn a lot. Thanks!

[@Holcee]

Oh my goodness, thank you so much! This is so incredibly helpful but not overwhelming, I'm so grateful you made this video! :)

[@Tioleles]

This is really a mine of gold! I'm from México currently working in Japan, i already speak English but with your explanation i can practice it and learn Japanese at the same time. Thank you very much! Suscribed :)

[@chineeandvashee]

Arigatoo Gozaimasu sensee, please post more lessons. After my class, I always watch you so I know how to apply what I learned in actual conversations. It's hard to learn Nihonggo when you are not actually in the Japan to hear people speak it all the time.

[@mjoirg]

英語はすごい上手いですね😳分かりやすくて良い教えかたと思います。

[@cooziedoo]

Just had a short layover in Narita, and had a lot of fun with this! Very helpful, and my Ja ne got a lot of smiles :)

[@jujupani942]

this the only youtube channel which teaches you real japanese

[@vex_dare7245]

Thank you for the lesson it's much appreciated and helpful as I'm learning Japanese by self teaching. Again thank you!

[@DH39341]

i learned something new in under the first minute of the video. you are the best!
