Adjectives to Describe Feelings in Japanese

[@YamatoTre]

Kaname really just drops into our lives to fix whatever problems we have in Japanese on a whim, then goes and plans his next video. He's him alright

[@frixxa9541]

I swear bro came out of no where and just drops great lessons

[@Marwa20eg]

Exactly !

[@jellyfrogfish]

He’s 彼

[@JackieLombardi]

His videos have connected so many dots for me it's so crazy

[@ahabrawgaming1289]

Yeah also learned to use が and は with these examples they used to confused me

[@HenriHowardEarlofSurrey]

Kaname's command of English is the reason his Nihongo teaching is so effective. His voice is also pleasant to list too.

[@play005517]

I learned way more English than I learned Japnese from his videos

[@Idunno-pp3cz]

​@@play005517 Then you might wanna consider improving your english alongside too! (That's not supposed to be sarcasm, I meant that literally)

[@marLamaDeo]

Your channel is taking off really fast compared to all the many Japanese teaching channels, it’s because you’re VERY good at this lol

[@journeybeyondthesea]

PERIODT

[@sagemaster3408]

agree, one thing alot of them do is throw a lot of words or grammar points in one video....Kaname is staying on subject with no goofing around. and explains it also. also he doesnt edit every 2 seconds like a certain other channel ... so irritating .

[@Ayeedrian]

@汚物 eh, I wouldn’t say most of them. probably half of them though 😭 but I’ve found a good amount of Japanese teaching channels on here such as Dogen, Yuta, Misa and a few others I can’t think of off the top of my head

[@Danishmastery]

I like this channel’s vibe. The thing I can’t stand about Misa’s videos is that she speaks super slowly and acts too cutesy.

[@Ayeedrian]

@@Danishmastery I feel like that’s just a language teacher thing lol, my spanish teacher does the same exact thing mostly because it’s important to enunciate speech when teaching a language for obvious reasons lmao

[@skbee9118]

外国人の友達に日本語を教えて欲しいと言われても、説明が難しいのでこちらのチャンネルを紹介しようと思います😂 細かい説明がわかりやすくされていて本当にすごいです🥹

[@Pako9713]

ちゃんと説明するように,英語スキルが高いはずだね

[@oddeye889]

I started learning Japanese in my 20s and lived in Japan for 5 years. I passed the JLPT1 and eventually started working as an interpreter. I've been using Japanese in my work for the last 20 years. I have to tell you, this is some of the best content I've seen. These are great pointers and tips which took me years and years to learn. Fantastic job on the videos, you are a great teacher! One thing to point out, we don't say "disrespectable" but instead "disrespectful". We do use "respectable" however in addition to "respectful" for different applications. Just another English quirk 😊

[@Lampuunion9989]

Do you take college

[@tranquocthanh949]

Thank you sir

[@МатвейДанатов]

Да не трясись ты так, скуфидон

[@Thayra]

I am so glad I found this channel. I have quite a unique situation in that I am half Japanese, brought up in the west, and sadly not raised bilingual since my Dad doesn't speak Japanese. However, I've used simple conversational Japanese with my Mother in speaking and texting all my life, read Japanese children's books with her, and also studied Japanese on and off. So now that I am trying to study properly and formalise my knowledge it's difficult because there's a lot of rules, phrases, etc that I "just know" instinctively and can use in conversation, but couldn't explain the grammatical rules of. As a child I would say ”クモがいやだ！” or ”クモが怖い”. I kind of knew that ”クモ *は* 怖い” had a more 'objective' feeling (ie, Spiders *are* scary, not just scary to me), because if I said it like that my Mum would joke that they are only scary to me (and I would disagree lol). Until this video, I never thought about that and how it works. It seems obvious now. This channel is the most effective I have found for helping me bridge these weird gaps in my understanding, and link things together building from things I know to explain things I don't know. Your approach is so effective at getting right to the 'feeling' and instinctive understanding that is so important to truly master a language - the whole "think in Japanese rather than trying to translate something in English" concept. かなめさん、本当にありがとうございます！ これからも動画を楽しみにしています。

[@jonbaum]

I lived in Japan for 6 years and speak Japanese fluently, in fact I am a Japanese-English translator and interpreter. Still, these videos are absolutely fascinating

[@aftertone3146]

The biggest stregnth Kaname has is his ability to make equivalences to English for easier understanding. Thank you !

[@amarug]

Don't get me wrong, there are many excellent channels for learning Japanese here on youtube. But every now and then someone truly unique pops up on the stage. I am technically "too advanced" for most of this channel's content, if you just judge it by the title alone - but I can still learn a lot of new stuff when I actually watch the video. Thank you so much Kaname!

[@iclicklike3397]

I'd say you need at least a decade of living in a country to know all the quirks regardless of what language it is.

[@franckvincent5190]

I love the fact that in your videos you don't just copy/paste the same content as all the other youtube videos about learning Japanese. Your content is unique and gives a better understand of concepts learners may think they already know or understand. Keep up the good work.

[@matthewparsons9407]

外国人にとって日本語の難しいところ詳しくわかりやすく説明していただいているなんて本当に凄いと思います。

[@bilingualchad]

you actually help more than most of the Japanese teaching channels combined! 俺はあなたのビデオが大好きよ！

[@Yasui]

I love the level of clarity you have on these videos. Watching this will be a treat.

[@tran2044]

かなめさん、教えるの上手いね👍

[@chrisjohnson2469]

Kaname-san's videos are ones that make your japanese sound that much more native. Keep up the great work.

[@NotSomeJustinWithoutAMoustache]

I don't necessarily watch a lot of your videos since I already know half the topics being discussed, but even from seeing the thumbnails in my recommendations I feel like you've got the best intuitive understanding on how to explain Japanese to non-Japanese speakers out of all the "Learn Japanese!" channels I've seen so far. I finally decided to check out a video, and I can't believe you only have 90K subs. Usually channels like yours are around a couple hundred thousand already, and your channel especially deserves far more recognition.

[@Broockle]

man these video are just the right niche So detailed with nuance

[@kazewendy12]

I'm a Japanese learner from Hong Kong and just come across your channel, immediately subscribed, that's so helpful and your explanation is so clear and direct！Thanks so much！🎉

[@santiagosancho2317]

Every video is so useful, I swear, some textbooks, teachers and youtubers would just take years to explain some of this things or they would just give you no rules, just examples. This is straight to the point. Great video as always!

[@Kizyr]

I've been speaking/studying Japanese for a very long while and had picked up on this habitually, but never understood the actual logic behind it until now!

[@LUchesi]

Thank you for using sarcasm in context. This is the type lessons that will help me to be understood.

[@1Saburo]

Great vid! I think when you said "horrifying" , you really meant to say "terrifying". Horrifying is for something that is shockingly disgusting, like seeing a dead body

[@richardwatson5437]

Friendly reminder to all those who can't wait for the next video: Kaname's Patreon starts at just $3/month!

[@fcolli]

いつも最高な説明ですよ。 ブラジルから本当にありがとうございました。

[@p.a.g3357]

These are the questions I wouldnt have thought to ask but very much should

[@pinksparkle90]

それは本当に最高の形容詞まとめです。ありがとうございます😌

[@krzysztofboduch1492]

I'm in the very early stages of learning the Japanese language, but when the time comes, I'll definitely revisit this material!

[@NinhoDoAoShin]

Your video helped me a lot. Thank you so mutch!

[@hooligans7618]

The nuance explanation and just explanation in general is soooo good! Kaname's English is far beyond most Japanese teachers and his extensive knowledge on native expressions makes him such a great teacher to learn from! Also I love how his videos are straight-to-the-point. No long intros or "hit the like button" fluff, and that itself makes me want to hit like, lol.

[@zuhachan]

i'm early! always excited to see another lesson from kaname さん！ありがとうございます

[@vedanasz5486]

Your emotional expressions really help to grasp the meaning, thanks a lot

[@weiward]

Do you happen to also be fluent in Mandarin? Your pronunciation of "sìchuān málà" was surprisingly spot on!

[@人参コウゲキ]

That really surprised me too!

[@LandofWater]

I was wondering the same

[@vonneumann6161]

Maybe one of his parents is Chinese? Even his Japanese has a little bit of Chinese accent but maybe I’m wrong, it could be some Japanese dialect I don’t know

[@ligong-l3h]

he speaks Chinese

[@hooligans7618]

ikr i was not ready for that xD it was very impressive!

[@c.s.9320]

I really like the way you frame yourself in your videos.

[@Codsworthy1701]

I love these videos, as somebody just starting to learn Japanese it’s great to see all the places that I’m being taught things that aren’t quite right. It’s worth noting though that the enhanced form of scared is terrified. Horrified has a connotation of strong horror/gore being involved or revulsion where terrified is just being very scared. I’d be horrified by a terrorist attack but I might be terrified of terrorists attacking conceptually.

[@markangelo3218]

12:37 "Shindoi" *zooms into picture*

[@AmbiambiSinistrous]

They're so cute!!! 😊

[@Hilarious168]

My obsession in your style of teaching.

[@Jombo1]

Nothing has clicked in my head more than watching your videos.

[@AllithLumia]

I love how you explain these little details that goes besides the grammar rules. ❤ thank you so much!

[@MoPaTography]

My favourite thing is how Kaname-san explains the Japanese rules and grammar in the context of how you'd use it in everyday, describing the feeling and thoughts that go behind each phrase. That's the key to understanding language, simply giving the English equivalent doesn't always help bridge the gap when learning a new language. Keep up the good work!

[@yoshsakasegawa4514]

Kaname sensei is amazing. I ❤ his explanations. They are super detailed and really help the advanced learner distinguish between correct and incorrect usage! This video is particularly helpful. Never thought of why “か” is used before adjectives! Now I know!!

[@masonskiekonto590]

You have no idea how much those vidoes mean to me, thank you.

[@anandaburger6077]

Thank you for the great content!

[@fairyboy3087]

I really enjoy how Kaname's video quality and design is clear and simple. The info received is also easier to understand because he emotes and uses emphasis on tone sound and volume.

[@fukamikara]

another banger from 要先生

[@melonysnicket]

I love how expressive you are! You really help us understand the weight of the words. ありがとうございます！

[@fwheels7776]

Top tier lesson! I feel like Kanabe is sliding the cheat sheet to me as he says in a quiet tone: "Shhhh! This is for later!" So good. So amazing! Thank you so much!

[@logan8374]

your explanations are fire. I really love how you give your personal feeling for each. "It's kinda like. . . " Anyone can just copy whats already on the web. Having you explain the feeling or similar emotion of what words and phrases mean is why I watch your videos.

[@Drooh]

Love that I found you in the early stages! Just binged all ur vids and I’m excited for more! Congrats on 70k and climbing fast!

[@benh5774]

A+ plus on the clarity and presentation

[@dogoku]

Got it! We use なあ to passive-aggressively convince someone to go drinking with us 😂

[@hirigone]

Time for me to start passive-aggressively talking to myself aloud...

[@39822]

Every video of yours is like a goldmine of information!

[@fishcake__]

I really like your teaching way, cause you also describe it in away we learner can understand how the native feel to express their feeling. it's not just you teaching us what we should say like others, but to actually understand how to express ourself naturally. Keep it up 😊

[@twqd5627]

I’m not even learning Japanese, I just like listening to this guys voice

[@gaobot]

This channel is amazing.

[@si8265]

Your videos are amazing, thanks for teaching actually useful things. If u could, I would appreciate a lot a video about が and は particles (maybe other particles too) , my most recent teacher actually told me a little about them but I don't fully grasp it.

[@si8265]

I mean when to use witch and the things they emphasize and such

[@hooligans7618]

As an intermediate level student this channel is perfect for remembering the basics in a pleasant, concise, and effective way that also allows me to pick up new knowledge of various nuances! Thank you Kaname-sensei!

[@MrCrippsPink]

Thank you so much! I know most of the vocabulary and grammar for a long time by now, but I still learn a lot A LOT from your videos! Usual textbooks and language teachers don't teach many of these nuances... For example, I always used "心配してる" to say that I'm worried about something and nobody told me why it might sound unnatural. So, even as an advanced learner your videos are incredibly valuable

[@Eternal-Security]

Clear explanations, great examples, with native pronunciations. Great content. Thanks Kaname.

[@joelarao8363]

Mr. Kaname, another very good lesson. Thanks a lot. Express feelings in Japanese was a great idea.

[@saswitchcraft7881]

This is the best dayum learn-Japanese channel I've found yet. Thank you Kaname.

[@planetmezo1145]

Kanames videos make me glad I procrastinated so long on trying to learn Japanese. If I had tried a year ago I wouldn't have had these to help!

Though your over emphasis of your pronunciation gives the impression of being angry, your practical examples in Japanese and your sincerity explaining the inner emotions behind the words are real treasures for me. Excellent work.

[@aradvila2000]

Great content! Love everything about it - simple and down to earth

[@dougw4034]

The fading in of the picture was so subtle but hilarious!

[@Nik-ei9st]

It’s so interesting how differently a language can be taught. For example in the sentence, 娘が心配です, kaname descibes 心配 as an English adjective. But I know dolly would say 心配 is a noun because it’s a する Chinese loan word… which explains why です is at the end, not い. So instead of, I’m worried about my daughter, it’s: (my) daughter is worry-able/ my daughter is worry-inducing. …or something like that. I’m not sure who is more “accurate”, the native English speaker translating into Japanese, or the native Japanese speaker translating into English. My personal conclusion is that dollys teachings make more sense structurally and grammatically overall, while native Japanese speakers insights into their language, (the feelings involved in certain words and their personal interpretations) are invaluable. This works best for me, otherwise these contrary teachings would destroy my understanding 😂

[@sempereadem1543]

Thank you very much! It's so informative and clear, it helps a lot to understand the value of the words phrasing and expressions!

[@kyoxkurenai]

[@samuelcamero6618]

I will start noting down everything I learn from Kaname.

[@IisAisyah-s3q]

I love this channel, I want to ask for various forms of sentences such as: 1.Have to 2. Need to 3. Should have 4. I wish 5. I wish .....hadn't Etc

[@craftcat6713]

i'm just a beginner but maybe this can help ‘〇〇なければいけない‘ example: ‘起きなければいけない‘ i need to get up Must/Need/Have - semi formal. Change the nai to narimasen to make it more formal `〇〇なければならない‘ example: ‘おきなければならない‘ i need to get up (I kinda dont want to) same as the one above but with a nuance that the speaker doesn't want to do it 〇〇なきゃ ‘起きなきゃ‘ i have to get up same as the ones above but casual '〇〇したらよかった' = if i did 〇〇, great this is probably 'should have' for wish i dunno。i think it would be ～ほしい

[@hiramzaldana153]

• Have/need to --> ( ~ない form minus the い) ければ (ならない/いけない) or ~なくては/なくちゃ ダメ/ならない/ いけない or Verbないと They all express the idea of "if ___ is not done, then that is no good." •Should have --> (ｅば verb form)よかった It translates to " It wouldve been good if i did ___" •I wish would be ~といいね or ~といいなぁ(when talking to yourself) they both express "i wish that.." or "i hope that.." you can also say ( た verb form + ら) いいのになあ or just leave it as ~たらなぁ This has a stronger sense of wishing or desiring something, kinda like saying "if only...."

[@tree_anna]

Please keep making videos like this! You are very good at it and they are very helpful!

[@Joyful_Irina]

You're such a great teacher! 😊 Thank you for your hard work.
