How Kaname san greets his fruits and veggies before digging in.

[@limyuxuan1272]

Dragonball naming convention.

[@voxtopass]

Based on the fan-subbed anime I've carefully studied, the correct way to greet fruits and veggies is "Rubba-dub-dub, thanks for the grub!"

[@Kuntuber]

i’m glad he included the delinquent version. definitely gonna be using that

[@zerorenndzro6463]

😂Yeah polite way is a bit too much sometimes.

[@canaldecasta]

Loud onomatopoeias is the way to go.

[@JohnM...]

My house’s dog? 🫤🧐

[@bonwatcher]

He could really use a switch up to sunglasses for that part. I just don't believe him to be a delinquent when delivering those phrases. 😎🤣

[@davfb8622]

korraaaaaa😂😂😂

[@Peshyy]

Duolingo is in shambles

[@DaveLopez575]

Now I know how to be a gangster lettuce in Japan.

[@Gaehhn]

Not sure how much I will actually remember from today's lesson, but at least my shopping list is now complete. Thanks, Kaname.

[@levileme8062]

The more Japanese I try to learn, more the culture seems important. And this man always explains it very well. Great video.

[@davfb8622]

« If you want to sound like a delinquent, ask which middle school the other’s from ». As a Chinese native, very relatable.😂

[@1Saburo]

I love that you don't just teach the language, but the context as well. Freakin awesome man.

[@megatronic9174]

Im here to learn greeting and conversations and here I know more about vegetables...

[@megaweebis]

Can you do a video explaining こと next?

[@brokenredlamp7393]

bowing tutorial next plz kaname sensei

[@tblicher]

Thank you very much Kaname! Always amusing and very helpful. I never knew that it was customary in Japan to introduce oneself as a vegetable or a fruit. I want to be as polite as possible, so this is very helpful.

[@Sad-wy5lq]

I like that you start off by explaining then gradually add more and more japanese dialog😁 動画は本当に有用です！

[@SonoraD.]

I love the way he came up with the name examples ❤

[@hadoryu]

Always extremely helpful and useful language advice. Thank you, Naito-san!

[@glowmobile596]

Loved the ending part, enjoyable videos as always! 🤣

[@grimcore119]

Glad he put the delinquents way otherwise I could never introduce myself to new friends😂

[@hedgehog1718]

I learnt how to introduce myself and also shop for vegetables in Japanese.

[@MamboCat84]

Kaname-sensei here writing Japanese Veggie Tales xD

[@elizabethhafferty1200]

The yankee speech was so funny! Thank you for a great explanation of general greetings. I love your videos!

[@orestria]

I was not prepared for the sudden gangster mode at the end

[@Qoo62]

カナメさんの不良言葉、凄く自然。もっと若い頃は不良だったのかな？笑

[@shdsfGray]

やんのか？ Is what I'm looking for.

[@iMerryZou]

竹の子❤ and 玉ねぎ and 枝豆 and じゃがいも😍

[@gabrielacrznik]

I loved how he mentioned all the fruits and vegetables hahahha

[@fastyfoxy]

6:44 the groceries i just got from the local asian store greeting each other in the back:

[@ffelegal]

The fact that even delinquents go into middle school attests to the extremely high level of education in Japan.

[@ezisw]

I think you should make a YT short of the delinquent greetings.

[@Tizzer169]

the level of detail in your videos is unrivalled. thanks for another great video, sensei!

[@AW-cm9gv]

Kaname cracks me up 😹!

[@IJethrobot]

Great video as always, かなめ先生! I feel ready to introduce myself into the world of vegetables. : P I think you have a great skill in explaining a lot of important, layered aspects of Japanese conversation in English in a way that is very clear and accessible. In the future, would you be willing to make a video on what you found helpful in learning English for yourself?

[@bitfreakazoid]

Need a tutorial on the traditional Yakuza greeting pose Jingi wo Kiru.

[@hackptui]

Kaname makes me want to be a delinquent Japanese.

[@PancakeWaffle1720]

I just found you’re channel. I’m loving it. 😂Thank you so much ❤

[@user-kc4dj8mb6m]

Thus, よろしくお願いします＝好きにしろ

[@WaldoCampos1]

Nice video as always Kaname-sensei I'd appreciate a video on どうも, its origins and uses are not clear to me and dictionaries tell you only so much

[@serenity3410]

Like your videos,as a complete beginner, they are very helpful

[@Jay_Wolfe]

Incredibly helpful as always, thank you.

[@Jombo1]

Japanese Veggie Tales is crazy

[@HampsterGirl]

This video was very helpful! 👍

[@Verbalaesthet]

にんじんはにんこくからきますか？　P.S. It's very useful to have the vegetables as names so while learning the introduction one can repeat or learn the vocabulary. Smart teaching technique :-)

[@VoidOrc]

Great video! This was helpful for me, I didn't know about these ways to introduce yourself and was only saying stuff like, 俺の名前が and similar phrases. Can you also do a video on ように? I think this concept is very hard to understand putting it in a phrase, at least for myself.

[@SnydeX9]

Where's the piano?

[@dixit246]

Nicely explained.

[@divine.frequencies]

This was good and helpful thank you✨

[@user-kazehimeto]

ありがとかなめ先生、あなたのヴィデオはかっこ委と楽しいです、僕はスダン人です、日本語はとても好きだ、でも僕の言語まだ弱いよ。 thank you for your efforts i really enjoy your videos , if something is wrong with my Japanese comment over please somebody tells me

[@masatami]

My correction: かなめ先生の動画はおもしろくて楽しいし、いつもありがとうございます。僕はスーダン人で、日本語がとても好きですが、まだ上手ではありません。

For algorithm. but the content is superb and genuine educational.

[@danopticon]

Daikon and Lettuce mean business!!

[@jblauh01]

Damn, your English is impressive. Well done sir! 😮

[@darknesswithin0]

Hai, Present sir!

[@henryrichard7619]

Why have I never actually heard any of my Japanese friends say どうも? Is it a generational/regional thing? Is it just because I’m not paying attention? 😂

[@niftyandy9152]

Out with Tanaka, in with asparagus :-)

[@Decade-c9k]

Now I'm feeling hungry.

[@sammanning1017]

Do you teach Japanese to foreigners in Japan? I live in Chiba and would like to take lessons from you.

[@shironaxiiishiro3422]

You’re perfect 😂

[@bloxycola3]

kaname san, i love your videos but i would love it if you had captions as auto generated ones are usually hard to understand. i would be happy to do it as well

[@FagolaTV]

Bro, this is too much work. He is already putting Japanese subtitles, explaining and teaching a lot of things. At least pay his Patreon before asking 😂😂😂😂😂

[@bloxycola3]

@@FagolaTV how do you know im not

[@FagolaTV]

@@bloxycola3 i don't. I'm guessing 😏

[@bloxycola3]

@@FagolaTV well youre right😞 but still i like to watch his videos in school and our devices are muted so i cant hear him. sure there are captions for the japanese conversations in the video but i cant actually understand what hes saying unless i turn on captions, which are wrong and jumbled up most of the time. although my situation may be pretty uncommon, a better reasoning would be for people who have hearing difficulties who also want to enjoy his videos and i feel like making the videos more accessible would be a great stride to grow as a creator

[@FagolaTV]

@@bloxycola3 but he speaks English, and you are speaking English. So in theory you understand. I don't understand Japanese as well but in the part he speaks in Japanese there are English subtitles. Anyway I'm kind of kidding, so don't be sad with that haha. I hope you keep enjoying his content like in enjoy too 😊

That ending with the baby - that's not the Ghibli Museum is it?

[@revanshy498]

don't mess with lettuce bro, he's savage

[@pedrohenriquemarchesini5760]

Could you make a video about the difference between all the words that mean "equal" or "same" like "一緒", "同じ", etc...?

[@TragicGFuel]

"一緒" I always thought this meant together, not necessarily same/equal. I have seen it used that way though.

[@pedrohenriquemarchesini5760]

@@TragicGFuel no, at least in casual Japanese when people want to say they feel the same about something, or even when there is a physical semblance they use it

[@pedrohenriquemarchesini5760]

@@TragicGFuel but it also means together, I'm not saying you are wrong (ex: これからも一緒に頑張ろう！)

[@TragicGFuel]

@@pedrohenriquemarchesini5760 yeah absolutely, its more like grouping things together. Saying "X and Y are in the same bucket". Lots of nuance, but as a rule of thumb for beginners, saying 一緒 is more of a grouping thing helps differentiate it at the beginning. Nuance can be understood later.

[@viniciusyztc]

How do I say "How about you?"/"What about you?"

[@ShadowBeatzInc]

Interesting. I was taught that "わたくし" was kinda outdated and a little pretentious. Is this not the case? Was I lied to? ;_;

[@coffee-is-power]

its not outdated, it's just more a more formal version of わたし They even share the same character 私

[@danielloo8868]

Not outdated, but seldom used outside of formal situations these days. It doesn't mean that it's rare though, if you're living and working in Japan you'll still hear it quite often - especially in customer facing roles.

[@ShadowBeatzInc]

​@@danielloo8868 I see. Awesome thank you!

[@ffelegal]

What about せっしゃ? 👀

[@coffee-is-power]

@@ffelegal Have you looked it up on a dictionary? It literally says archaic and was primarly used by samurai...

[@canaldecasta]

Is... Is Yo! when greeting a short version of yorosiku? Is that why?

[@SeasonWriting]

Why is he so funny? Lol

[@joebroadinjapan]

I think the greetings you use depend on what region of Japan you are in. I have not heard どうも、こんにちは in Kyushu.

[@lordlin]

So this is like a salad conversation?

[@jakejaylee123]

Anyone else falling in love with Kaname san with each video? 😭

[@oh-noe]

romantically?💀

[@0ptimusPawn]

Sometimes, the room is busy or loud, or the person introducing themselves mumbles their name, or I simply don't catch their name the first time (this happens especially when names have 3 or more syllables 😅). In such a case, I would like to ask the person to repeat their name for me so I'm sure I get it correct. How would you say this in a "proper" or "normal sounding" way? Currently, I tend to stick to 「あー、ごめん（なさい）、（お名前は）もう一回お願いします」, but I feel like that's incorrect.

[@EdwardLindon]

Any advice for how an older person (40-50) should introduce themselves to younger people (20-30)?

[@elgatofelix8917]

Konichiwa!

[@ElementalRiot]

Can you explain the differences between 今度、今後、and この先?

[@takeuchi_8]

Going in Japan in august for first time for a shorm-term study. Thanks for your vids man, you are za besto!!!

[@grimreamer2512]

How would you go about greeting people you already know? I heard that お元気ですか isn't really used. I could be wrong though

[@Tedisdeaad]

You can use お待たせしました just make sure to be late to meet them every time

[@pandarush.]

Ive always had trouble pronouncing "shitsurei".

[@rymlks]

I've had 2 teachers and a green owl tell me that everyone says 「どうぞよろしく」 Do people not actually say this?

パイン！

[@tomsh12345]

Another excellent video, thank you! Can we get a は vs が video? If that's even possible!!!

[@VoidOrc]

Can I recommend Cure Dolly's Japanese Guide? It really helped me with this concept. kzbin.info/www/bejne/poTZeWysfZtjf8k Videos 1-3 go over this I believe.

What will you politely say to someone you are going to eat? 失礼ですが、いただきます？

[@juangamez-fw4wk]

Why Japanese always say "Japanese people"? It's that's wrong but it doesn't sound Natural. We Japanese, love our culture. We Japanese people, love our culture.
