How Violet Evergarden Speaks Japanese

[@ThatJapaneseManYuta]

This show makes me cry. I actually really liked some of the first episodes. They are quite touching. But, this is not really the type of anime where not understanding Japanese would be a problem. Still, if you're learning Japanese, it would be a good idea to watch it in the original Japanese. And if you want to learn Japanese with me, I can send you some Japanese lessons where I teach you the kind of Japanese that Japanese people actually speak. Click here and subscribe bit.ly/39j92BM

[@revanthsurapaneni6258]

I wanted to watch this, but have been putting it off for later for a long time. Need to make time.

[@darkram7947]

Honestly I don't speak Japanese but I could still tell that Violet was speaking very formally

[@Mindwipe96]

I completely agree. Back when I watched this anime in 2018, I could tell she sounded very formal mainly because of her tone of voice, but I will say now that I know quite a bit and can speak a little Japanese, Yuta is definitely right when he says watching anime is a significantly even better experience when you do understand Japanese. Well that’s if you’re used to watching subbed over dubbed anyway.

[@circa-bq8tm]

Yeah it's kinda like Yukino in Oregairu. You can tell just by the tone

[@triplem8573]

Me too

[@Kikuye]

Me before listening to the video: Violet speaks like a soldier. Yuta: Violet speaks like a soldier. Yep.

[@agilpriyatna6736]

I've seen an analysis video of Violet Evergarden and it was surprising, how close it is actually to reality. The video was in form of an interview, of a guy and a military veteran, analyzing each episodes (almost), even though the anime is a bit of an exaggeration, the essence of it is quite close to the after-war experiences of the vet.

[@rafiboy05]

Violet Evergarden speaks so polite in a way that when you are learning Japanese, her dialogues are quite easy to understand as Japanese language textbooks will usually start in teaching you how to speak Japanese in polite form.

[@christianalbertjahns2577]

4:51 pretty sure Iris is Iris's first name, her last name is Cannary.

[@SpawnedInTheHades]

Many anime have made me tear up, but Violet Evergarden is the only one to make me full-on ugly cry.

[@messprit2250]

When I started to get more into Japanese and understand the basics I started liking Violet Evergarden even more, the way she speaks says a lot about her past and her upringing, making an impact with any slight change of the terms she uses (I'm still a beginner but I noticed it in the latest trailers in couple scenes T_T). You really enjoy Anime on a different level if you understand Japanese huh

[@boi64pr60]

Really.

[@ellie5017]

What are you using to learn japanese? I want to try too but I honestly have no idea where to start.

[@messprit2250]

@@ellie5017 well start off by memorizing Hiragana and Katakana. After I did that I took a Japanese course on Alison. com but I didn’t finish it, because I switched to Genki which is a Japanese language textbook for English speakers and it helped a lot, I learned many things (I’m still on a beginner level btw)

[@JCDentonman]

@@messprit2250 may i ask a bit? How old are you when you start to learn japanese?

[@messprit2250]

@@JCDentonman I actually started learning during quarantine (around June-July of 2020) and I made a lot of progress and learned many things during those 6 months. So it doesn’t really matter how old you are, it’s never too late to start learning a new language. Just make sure you’re using the right resources to make learning easier and fun

[@neilballou]

For anime not set in Japan, a video on how Horo from "Spice & Wolf" speaks Japanese would be interesting, if you're up for doing that. As I understand it, she speaks in a very old-fashioned way that modern Japanese people wouldn't speak at all.

[@reirei-227]

My heart... the episode 10

[@gashbeenfaisal228]

[@SSP50505]

Again Yuta, would you consider analyzing how any one of the characters from Rakugo Shinjuu speaks? Especially considering the era (I know you weren't around back then but still) and the rakugo performances. edit: and also to understand whether Yota's way of expressing is or isn't correspondant to era he lives in (to accentuate his personality and importance in the story, I'd guess).

Most Germanic languages have informal and formal speak as well so I think it still works for the setting (which I assume is mostly based on Northen Europe, since most of their surnames are German and "Leiden" is the name of a real Dutch city).

I really enjoyed the English dub of Violet Evergarden and believe they did a good job with Violet's diaglogue HOWEVER you are correct that some of the subtly is lost in the translation. English just doesn't have that level of politeness that Japanese has.

This is such a good content anime related video.

[@vng]

It is a KyoAni work with the original story written by the only winner so far of the KyoAni grand prize. I don't think anyone expects anything less in terms of attention to details like this. The light novel paid attention to the dialogue of different people to make sure people's dialogue is close to how they would speak for their status in Japan. For the anime, the director mentioned that they added an Oriental (Japanese?) flavor to the setting so that Violet would stand out as being different.

[@pauloazuela8488]

Did you watch the latest film already? I'm quite impatient because I want to watch it now

[@CC-xy2yn]

it will be really interesting if you make one of this videos with Nakiri Leonora from foodwars! (Alice's mother) since shes this character who doesnt speak japanese fluently and adds "desu" in everything

[@Criticalcinary]

[@lahagemo]

these videos are great, i enjoy each and every one of them and look forward to (re)watching them each time; but please, for the love of all that’s good, learn the difference between a literary expression and a contraction. 怒っているのですか becoming 怒ってるんですか is called a contraction, because the っているの gets contracted into ってるん.

tasteeee

[@electronresonator8882]

but I often heard that British people also speak indirectly, and use extra words to explain something, for example, several times I heard they use the world "not very nice," to express the word bad , they also use honorific to other people like the word "sir" and "ma'am"

[@Buccallmann456]

Yeah that's like very formal wording , in the old days being formal was important especially when people have higher social status talk , even today people who would be considered "posh " talk in that indirect manner

German and Japanese have so much in common, like the Politeness.

[@sleepingdreams5844]

The whole sentence structure is different and in German, there's only one form of politeness while there are different levels of politeness in Japanese. I'd say Korean is much more similar to Japanese.

[@haroldchristiancimafranca9784]

My fav anime

[@Zeithri]

I don't see why being extra polite would be something negative ...

[@glaceRaven]

Paradoxically, it seems to be because it's taken as the verbal equivalent of holding someone at arm's length, putting distance between the two people and thus coming off as standoffish. Staying in keigo for too long after the other person thinks you at least know each other well enough to speak casually is like pushing the relationship back to the beginning. Like "even though I've known you for so long, you're still a stranger to me." I had to learn this when I was taking Japanese classes (not helping is the fact that they taught us keigo first). The other reason is it can be offputting, which is also true in English. Being extremely verbose, articulate, and formal in any language can be, strangely enough for a speaking style based on precision, a barrier to relationships (though as far as I'm concerned that's the receiver's problem, not the speaker). edit: Third reason I just remembered is because it can sound excessively grandiose and exaggerated. Sorry for the wall of text, I was just trying to get in as much info as I could.
