Thank you very much, Yuko Sensei! I am taking a university course in Japanese and you helped clear up some confusion for me before my test tomorrow. I have taught languages for over 30 years and I can confirm that you are a very effective teacher. Thank you for the work that you have put into this lesson.😊🎉

I appreciate the positive feedback from a fellow language teacher. Best of luck with your exam! がんばってください！😊

For those who are learning Kanjis, i suggest you read things with Furigana, like shounen mangas it will take a lot of time until you can properly read but with a kanji dictionary in hands or google translate you will be to learn a lot of kanjis

Another great lesson . Far clearer explanations than Genki book.

[@painetcirque5695]

Oh, I see, I can say "e" in either of hiragana, katakana or kanji, but in Kanji, the same sound I can read it in many more ways. I couldn't feel any more relieved than that, could I. Now that I see how sound "e" can be read in many more kanji strikes, I can only be safe that my Japanese will sky rocket as you count down from 3 to 0. Piece of cake.

@Richard Mortimer Was actually a strange coincidence as I was reading about using ga in relative clauses earlier, leading to multiple instances. Every day is a school day...and yeah ive seen multiple was before :)

[@indigofenrir7236]

Yuko-sensei, I have a question. When you turn a comparison into a relative clause, should you place のこと after it or something else? Like: おとうさんのほうが わたしより しょうぎが じょうずのこと は きにしない です。(I don't mind the fact that Father is better than I am at shogi.)

[@kamilar_s1419]

What is difference between 'muzukashiKATTA desu' and 'muzukasiiDESHITA'?

[@renuka2509]

You cannot say "muzukashii deshita" because it's an い adjective. With い adjectives you have to drop the い and put "katta" for past tense.

[@josef7884]

Can i also add "to omoimasu" in the sentence?

[@amarug]

If you dislike any of Yoku-sensei's videos, you should probably quit trying to learn Japanese

[@erriichii6177]

Thank you for this simple and informative lesson, it was very helpful Yuuko-sensei! For the ending question, I think it'd be, "にほんのほうがアメリカよりれきしがふるいです。"

[@iyrw21]

Hello yuko sensei. Thank you for your explanation. I want to ask about particle が in すずき が たなか より せ が 高い です。can we exchange が with は? Because as I learn in minna no nihongo, i found the similar structure of compariso but using は、for example この 車 は あの 車 より おおいです. That's my question, thank you..

[@Kyoukichi]

I randomly came to see this video and randomly came upon your comment, but if you haven't already got the answer to your question: no, you cannot. 背が高い (せ　が　たかい) is a set phrase and must be used as such at all times. It's not simply grammar construction - think of it as one single word that can't be changed.

[@iyrw21]

@@Kyoukichi thank you so much. this question has been answered after 1 year haha

[@belovednurlyn]

Is it okay to say Kanji "ha" Hiragana yori muzukashii desu instead of "ga?"

[@YukoSensei]

Yes, it's ok. In that case, you are treating Kanji as the topic of the sentence like this. "As for Kanji, it is more difficult than Hiragana" instead of "Kanji is more difficult than Hiragana." Both are conveying the same information and which one to use depends on how you want to present your opinion or the context where the conversation is taking place. Hope this helps!

[@belovednurlyn]

@@YukoSensei wow this is so on-point!

[@tanishasubramanya3036]

Can't we change the verb into past form instead of the adjective. Muzukashikatta desu Muzukashii deshita Could to please tell if this is wrong ?

I've recently come across this too in my studies! Although it was written as 平仮名より漢字のほうが難しいです。Is a native speaker more likely to use [「B」より「A」のほうが] or the reverse form?

What does "せが” specifically mean? I cannot find in the dictionary.

[@wendiwerner2286]

I think it is height.

[@benredfield6643]

This せ is the word for "back" (of a person), followed by the が particle. The kanji is 背. So the phrase 背が低い literally means "back is low", while 背が高い means "back is high".

Is it correct if i say.. ちかてつはバすよりはやいです？ Can someone help me please

[@YukoSensei]

Yes, it is correct. You phrase it "As for subway, it is faster than bus" which is conveying the same information as "Subway is faster than bus" ちかてつのほうがバスよりはやいです。How you phrase it depends on personal preference or the situation where the conversation is taking place. Just be careful with the spelling. バす→バス Hope this helps!

how is "more" a noun?

[@senau4351]

At 3:50 she explains that hou 方 literally means direction. If you translate " のほうが" it literally means: "____'s(の) direction (ほう) is(が)". I kind of think of its meaning as "to the favour of"
