Me: I must review for my calculus class also Me: 日本語 it is

[@NatiiixLP]

Took me a while to realize the meme format because 「noun + "it is"」 just sounds like a literal translation of 「noun + です」, so in my head, I thought of it that way.

[@kaleb.carvalho]

SAME HAHAHAHA

[@アイス熊]

Trust me, I graduated a year ago. You’ll get more use out of 日本語 than calculus

[@carlchan3179]

Miku-sensei can you give a handouts on list of verbs with their dictionary form? Because I'm having a hard time to know if they are 1st group, 2nd group or 3rd group. Thank you so much for teaching us in youtube. I hope I could get a respond in this :)

It's wonderful that you speak some Japanese as you teach without including subtitles. It compels a learner to actually listen and understand. Really nice.

I got it all except for the last one... I thought she meant literally seeing my family, so I said 今月は家族が見られなかった

[@heroofthe4-starmastersword526]

Yeah I said the same thing

[@ashley88101]

This is my first miku sensei video but I really love the way she presents the material! I thought it was great that some of the lesson was taught in Japanese and had a test at the end... I subscribed!

[@turt8560]

Miku-sensei! Could you do a lesson on 筈 (はず)? I saw your video on the difference between しっぱなし and したまま because I struggled with those two structures for a while and your explanation really helped a lot! I would've never guessed that the difference regarding that one usage was the connotation but now I know. I'm really looking forward to a lesson on 筈 (はず) since you explained しっぱなし and したまま in a way that was super easy to follow and understand. I'd greatly appreciate it if you could do one soon. ありがとうございます

[@mikurealjapanese]

Thank your for your recommendation!!!!

[@TheCantoneseGuyLucas]

[@ZoZo-ub5uw]

no wonder why they omit the ら

[@sailor5853]

The られる is not the problem. The problem is that if you grow up speaking English you won't have learned to pronunce that "R". That sound natural for me to both listen and speak that because my mother tongue is from a Latin family and have that phonem as most of them.

[@burntoast7628]

How would you tell the difference between potential and passive form?

[@ShanerTheGrey]

Miku you are so beautiful! Stunning!

[@taylordatuin9254]

Since I started watching your videos I have been practicing Japanese everyday!! Thank you for giving me the motivation I needed to get started once again!! I studied Japanese in middle and high school but forgot a lot of what I learned because I never had to use it. Your video lessons have taught me more practical Japanese than I learned in those 4 years of traditional learning. I am so grateful to you Miku Sensei!! Your hard work and passion to share Japanese culture and language with the world is so inspiring. Arigato from Seattle, Washington!!

Hi, Miku-chan, when I was in Japan I've used often "-ru kotoga dekimasus ka" to ask permition. Do this structure has the same meaning? Is it too polide or we can use in friendly conversations? Regards from Brazil!

[@カペラマヌエル]

Parece-me que para pedir permissão é melhor a fórmula 〜てもいい？(informal) ou 〜てもいいですか? (formal). [p.s.: se entendes bem a língua espanhola, experimenta ver os canais 'KiraSensei' e 'KiraVivo' no youtube. Além de vídeos sobre a realidade japonesa, tem muitos sobre gramática]

Woow! So there is like a formula for conjugation!!!

[@goodsquidjapan]

How do you say in Japanese: "I can never see my kids again because my ex-wife abducted them and refuses to honor their human right to meet both parents". And "Japanese can't understand child psychology"?

[@topesjeebal8760]

r/oddlySpecific

[@tordyclark]

You say it like this: I am a gaijin who went to Japan specifically because I like Japanese woman and thought it was cool to copulate with one and when she had kids after I did that and I became a nagging shouting partner, she got scared and took the kids back to her family where she feels safe on her native ground, just the same as many many other gaijin".

[@goodsquidjapan]

Tordy Clark not funny since In japan this is a real problem and people do suicide for this

[@elisenguyenquoc6844]

Hello everyone, do you know if to say I can't, to the polite form, it is like for exemple: "aemasen" instead of "aenai"? Or it is still "aenai" thank you very much :)

[@LordManux91]

Few years ago i started learning japanese and taught myself the grammar first, but i still had lots on confusion in my head. Miku sensei makes those lessons so easy to understand that i feel kinda dumb now ahah. Very effective, concise and organized lessons, totally worth a marathon watch (especially this potential form, argh). 本当に助かった、Miku 先生。ありがとうございます。

[@sandeza8721]

先生、質問があります。 In 8:38 why is it 運転できる？ instead of 運転ができる？ Please reply 先生。 えっと 本当ありがとうございました。❤❤

[@user-ed4fv9nd3b]

With that last example, it seems like the correct particle to use is と, as in 今月は家族と会えなかった. After all, you couldn't meet "with" your family this month, not "in" them. I understand that this is just one of those weird quirks of the Japanese language that you have to get used to.

[@niteshanthony2324]

Hey, we do not know each other but I would like to tell u that despite all the bad that you have done in your life, GOD still loves you and wants you to be with him (GOD), all yoi must do is to trust in Jesus like how u would trust in parachute when jumping out of a plane and you must be willing to turn from your wrong doings and do what is right😊❤😊😊❤

[@amatias3934]

Can someone please tell me the difference Between たべられる of passive form And this たべられる of potential form

[@hritesh7]

出来る potential form and when it used? same goes to 切る has potential form 切れる but 切れる is verb on its own and it has 切られる potential form but what is the difference ?we need intransitive verb potential form separate video

[@giobalansag298]

Just wondering,can we do multiple verbs on can do? Like for example can drive and fix a car in one sentence? どうも

[@philipg423]

“I could “ wasn’t explained. I’m curious about that.

[@なにいってんの-s5e]

how about the verb 見る conjugates as 見れる but I also saw some people say or write 見える and I was wondering if 見える isa lso the potential form and if it is does this rule of -える aply to other verbs?

[@giselleschwartz6766]

The Japanese R will always confuse me because it just sounds like an English L to me.

[@7quantumphysics]

Is it weird to translate the last one as: 今月は家族が見られなかった。

[@stephentang823]

sensei, … BUT I remember a Japanese song saying "anata no mieru kage (kake?)" …… does it mean your "visible" shadow ?? Why not "mirareru" ???

[@Ockerlord]

The ga particle marks the subject, right? ---------------------- Alice sees - Aliceが見る Alice sees Bob - AliceがBobを見る Alice sees Bob with implizit subject - Bobを見る ---------------------- (1) Alice can see - Aliceが見られる (2) Alice can see Bob - AliceがBobを見られる // can we have to ga particles here???? (3) Alice can see Bob with implizit subject - Bobが見られる // so here wo becomes ga, right? // but wait, isnt that the exact same form as (1) ???? So we cannot differentiate Between Alice can see // Alice can be seen based on grammar alone, right? This seems weird because I thought we have a subject marker が to avoid ambiguity.
