Strange thing about japanese is that when grammar is explained, it seems soo confusing and even this video is hard to get the hang of. But after using japanese for a while (like when i lived in Tokyo), grammar just falls naturally even though you cant explain why it is used. Its so weird, but i really love the japanese language, its so much fun to learn.

[@isaidmeow920]

you have absorbed the spirit of japanese language.

[@macropusrufus8207]

Yep, It feels like you can't explain the usage of particles (は、に、で、へ　etc), but instead you have to feel them.

[@cholie992]

Before I was like: "Should I use masu or desu?" Then now I'm like, *makes sentence without thinking about it*

[@linalikesreading]

These videos are so educational, I love the animation used for showing examples and words, it makes it very easy to follow and understand. Thank you!! :)

[@SaucySprout]

This video and the comments have helped me so much, taking Japanese online is so freaking hard ; - ; reading and hearing it are two different things.

[@collwyr]

this is interesting, just started learning Japanese on Duolingo in prep for my upcoming trip to Japan next year (I don't expect to be fluent, but i'd like to know some basics to help with communication) and I notice I'm being taught Kudasai when asking for food like mizu o kudasai and I thought this might be an incorrect way of asking this (finally my years of watching anime sub is coming to help) and was googling to confirm, thanks for this very informative video.

[@justfine8647]

I wish you did more basic Japanese videos like the first seven we watch with you, Hiroko! Thank you!

[@mostafafarweez3161]

Thank You Hiroko, I really learn from your videos and the differences in using and when not using particular words to make sense of what u want, like this videos :D

ありがとうございます✔️🤭 Cuestión de ponerlo en práctica.

[@Roll0NAME]

So ください is used for asking for something and おねがいします is used when asking for something like a favor or for a request?

[@susie2251]

It would have been nice for you to provide explanations for why one must be used or cannot be used. It’s not very helpful to simply say “Because that would just not make sense!” Why would that not make sense? For example, what is it about kudasai that makes it not make sense in the context of services. As it is, the video is helpful only for straight memorizing the specific situations mentioned in the video but it doesn’t help me understand Japanese or apply any grammar to situations that are not directly addressed in the video.

[@janemurphy612]

Thank you for making things so plain and understandable. :)

[@katsukotorindoru2332]

So Kudasai will only use when the last letter followed by that is 'te' like Kaite Kudasai. And Onegai Shimasu is always use than that.

[@cakeswithfaces]

Thanks for this video, I didn't know the difference between these two.

[@daisespi]

So, when speaking japanese you should always be careful in using your terms/words because slight mistakes could lead to other meaning.... knowing that, makes me more interested in learning japanese

[@lasluin]

Very clear and helpful, thank you very much!

[@BrianMorris]

Another form of request uses morau after -te form. Not sure I have this 100% correct, but for something like "would you please write that down" is 「書いて貰いませんか」 (kaite moraimasen ka)

[@hjm9586]

So "Onegai Shimasu" is used in a polite and formal context but "Kudasai" is more on the authoritative, colloquialised and informal way of saying it? Tyty for your knowledge and insight!!

[@mattialonghin_mr.l857]

Oh, now i get the difference. Thank you💪

[@juliettegladehearth2336]

So kudasai is basically for prefixes and verbs? Like yonde kudasai. Please read. Whereas if you are asking for an object or a person or thing, you would add onegai shimasu to the end of the sentence instead of kudasai? sorry, hopefully this makes sense :3

[@bichlerg5799]

ありがとう for the explanation. Is it possible to have the etymology of those words to have a better understanding of the différence ? サンキュウ!

[@vanessaruiz4705]

so let's say onegaishimasu for items and services and kudasai after verbs; i think it's the easiest way to use them. thanks

[@BenZinnar]

Should I use はじめまして (hajimemashite) Or よろしくお願いします (yoroshiku onegaishimasu)

[@ummokay]

Hajimemashite is literally=Nice meeting you for the first time　 yoroshiku onegaishimasu is kinda like , I hope we get along in the future

the name say itself hajimemashite you can think of "hajimete" from the derivation of "first" .

[@Rationalific]

Perfect explanation. Thanks!

[@hassemees2054]

Do basically for an object you can use both, and for a favour/action you use kudasai when there's the 'te' form of the verb and onegai shimasu when there's not? Is that correct?

[@JapanesePod101]

Hi anime trash, Thank you for posting. Yes, that's correct. And you can use both of them together. For example, Kekkon shite kudasai. Onegaishimasu! =Could you please marry me? Please! Keep studying with JapanesePod101.com Regards, Miki（美希） Team JapanesePod101.com

Hiroko! What about Choudai? How is it related to Kudasai and Onegai shimasu?

[@JapanesePod101]

+Gustavo Takachi Toyota Hi Gustavo Takachi Toyota, Thank you for posting!! This is a good question! "Choudai" is very casual expression of "kudasai" and it's used just same as "kudasai". For example; Mizu o choudai. "Give me a water." Mado o akete choudai. "Open the window." *We often omit "choudai" after te-form of verb, like "Mado o akete." "Choudai" is really casual spoken Japanese and often used, but be careful when it shoud be used. Hope this helps you! Keep studying withe JapanesePod101.com!

ください is for requesting actions but you said to use おねがいします when requesting to speak to someone or requesting to be driven somewhere which both seem like actions to me

If I remember correctly, when I was in Japan, they would say "onegai shimasu" when someone leaves a store. I guess they are thanking them for coming to the store? But "onegai shimasu" means please. So are they saying like "please, come back again soon"?

[@JapanesePod101]

Hi ռǟʀʊȶօ - ӄʊռ Thank you for your comment. Guess they were saying "Mata Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu" So If it's the case, Yes, It means "Please come back again for next time". Feel free to ask us any questions. Cheers, Sono Team JapanesePod101.com

You are such a pretty lady. I love this short lessons in KZbin.

[@RanggaWiratno]

When do you use "no" particle or "waga". I hear them quite a lot in Anime to describe possession but how do you decide when to use which.

[@Rationalific]

+Rangga Wiratno "No" is the main particle for possession. So, "Watashi no..." or "Boku no..." mean "My..." "Kare no..." means "His..." "Sensei no..." means "The teacher's...", etc. "Waga...", I believe, is a traditional/antiquated way of saying only "My..." I think it's only used normally in certain phrases, and besides that maybe sometimes with "overlord-type" anime villains. At least, that's what I've gleaned so far.

[@RanggaWiratno]

Rationalific I think I hear it used quite a lot in formal talks too like "waga kuni" my country or "waga ya" my family.

[@apalagi08]

+Rangga Wiratno "waga" is an old Japanese word, it's no longer used in modern Japanese speaking. That is why you only hear it through media and Japanese literature.

[@kikogarcia_]

what is the diffence between kedo and dakedo

[@toomoii]

+Francis Garcia "da" is the stem form of "desu". So if you want to combine two sentences with "kedo" sometimes you need to put a "da" at the end of the first half making it "dakedo". (it's a grammar thing) for example: "ii ie dakedo takai desu" - it's a nice place but too expensive. I think it is also possible to say "desu kedo". Also at the beginning of a new sentence you have to use "da" first with "kedo"

[@franciscofaginas5529]

+toomoii yes, you're right, ですけど is grammarly correct.

[@kikogarcia_]

+toomoii thank you so much is demo and kedo is similar?

[@franciscofaginas5529]

+Francis Garcia I think both mean but. Demo is used to start a sentence, and kedo is used to continue a sentence.

[@kikogarcia_]

+Francisco Faginas thank you can you give some example please im really having a hard time using that word

[@TheMadnessangel]

Hi, sorry i'm french and I'm not sure if i understood, i just have one question ... is "kudasai" only use with "te" and never with another situation? I mean, kudasai can never be use without "te" ? And onegai shimasu is use every time that "te" is not use, right?

[@andrewmori563]

+Madness Angel Te-form + kudasai means "please (do verb)." Like in the video, you can ask for a noun by saying "(noun) wo kudasai." However, in some situations, a different meaning could be implied. For example, in the video, asking the father for his daughter with "kudasai" could imply marriage permission. Onegai shimasu is a politer request for nouns or services, I think. Asking for someone on the phone also uses onegai shimasu. This isn't used with te-form verbs.
