Japanese Language Lesson 10 - Particles

[@JapanSocietyNYC]

Thank you for your comment! We're glad to hear that the images are helpful!

[@archnakukreti3784]

Konnichiwa watashi wa indo shusshin desu

[@archnakukreti3784]

I am learning Japanese from you

[@archnakukreti3784]

U are the the best sensei

[@zagzig3210]

I love this Sensei. She's like a mother figure to me, educated and patient.

[@JapanSocietyNYC]

"Ni" here is used because it marks one's goal or destination. Another reason to use "ni" is to indicate the place where a thing(s) or a person(s) is(or are) present. In Lesson 6, we used "de" because it indicates the place where an action occurs. In short, "ni" casts the sight upon a place, while "de" upon an action. As for your second question, it depends on if you put the noun (Mary, for this video) first or if you are going to add the time (tomorrow, yesterday, etc.)

[@JapanSocietyNYC]

Arigatou gozaimasu! Particles in the Japanese language are very difficult, and we're happy to hear that the videos are helpful!

[@rajeswaribalachandran3868]

"you are the best teacher in the world'' this sentence is from my heart . thank you sensei

[@Nik0081]

This lesson is paced faster than the previous ones when it should really be the slowest out of the first ten in my opinion. I would have liked more explanation than what was provided. Anyway, these videos are very well done for the most part and quite helpful.

[@shespalrana7807]

Right sir

[@mochibear2077]

I feel the same way. Too fast and new words.

[@niccolopaganini1782]

2013- video was uploaded Coincidence, Watching it in 2020 and she talked about 2020 This gives me chills...

[@rommardsocdol7595]

lmao,im currently learning this lesson but its getting harder. no greendminded

[@doyouzgot2knw]

i think the best way i've come to learn the japanese language, is by watching a lot of Studio Gibli movies because I've observed they use complete sentences. I found that a lot of the Anime such as Naruto or Bleach that i love to watch use a lot of slang words, or they shorten a lot of the phrases so its extremely casual, not something that has been recommended to learn for those in beginners levels if you're still building proper sentence structure and vocabulary. But what Japanese anime DOES help with, is getting used to the speed and sound of the language. As well as watching kids cartoons.

[@qihuang8568]

+doyouzgot2knw you r right, anime has lot slangs , and something like naruto or dragon ball, full of special move names in one episod, thats the japanese word you never use in regular life, so watching japanese tv series is good, they made lot of tv series about solving crime or something

[@JapanSocietyNYC]

Yes, you're correct. Friday is きんようび. Our mistake, it showed up as a small よ in the video.

[@JinxXiWolf]

This is so simple. It's like playing Lego with words, but my brain keeps trying to shove the blocks the wrong way around. >.

[@orkumm]

So accurate metaphor

[@Jacked_R_Us]

@@orkumm Agreed

[@RiskyTingz08]

Couldn't agree anymore its such a puzzle

[@thezyreick4289]

right? used the numbers lesson to teach my daughter how to count to 100, and she can count to 100 in Japanese easily now, but cannot get past 20 in English, its cute when she stumbles around 20 in English, gets frustrated and finishes counting in Japanese xD

[@MuttFitness]

@@thezyreick4289 that's strange cause it starts getting super easy at 20. 11 through 19nis where Japanese really shines compared to English

[@DrToonhattan]

Some random person's going to watch this video on Friday the 15th of May 2020 and get really freaked out.

[@japhetrogers8362]

@gameremix lol

[@chreesetelle]

i'll set an alarm on May 15 2020 to get back on this lol

[@rickysword3945]

Woh... It happened to me!!!! In the future!

[@darylkayanan1982]

Plot twist: Mary-san was unable to go to Boston on May 2020 due to the coronavirus.

[@JapanSocietyNYC]

Essentially に and へ are interchangeable for the purposes of Japanese learners and most all Japanese speakers. There are circumstances where a translator or someone at a professor or academic level in Japan may have to make a distinction between the two, but they almost always are interchangeable and neither is more or less polite.

[@sinsimbrium]

The pictures separated by the particles were fantastic! My brain picked it up and clarified so quickly! Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@김니키타김]

She is teaching the year 2020 in 2013 and I'm learning it in 2020🤣🤣🤣 what a coincidence

[@witfrenzy9576]

same!

[@raidenshogun4536]

[@daisykim2403]

Me too,I'm.learning in the end of 2020.Lol😂

[@RebeccaDubs]

I love this lady :)

[@rickysword3945]

I go on with lessons but i often come back... and step by step, even if i learn every single lection I feel my japanese growing. Thanks to this wonderful sensei

[@jeyjohnson3246]

I decided to learn Japanese on my own but was struggling a little, and I'm soooo glad that I found this channel!!!

[@arturoleyva3126]

i have started with Japanese recently and I find your videos really helpful. I thank you on behalf of all the students that are actually learning the language.

[@ceebbees12345]

YES! I now know how to say that my mother went to the department store yesterday >:D soon I will know how to add that she bought me ke-ki!!! muahahahahahah

[@gladiolator9853]

JAJAJAJAAJ

[@graciellatagala7241]

is it '' okaasan wa kino depato ni ikimashita'' ?

[@witfrenzy9576]

@@graciellatagala7241 It should be "haha" instead of "okaasan" since you're talking about your own mother.

[@tylersalvador97]

おかあさん-okaasan(casual way of saying mother), はは-haha(is used when describing your family to someone)

[@MuttFitness]

Watashi to or isho ni

[@GerryGomezPearlberg]

Very happy to see this more in-depth video series back! Miyashita-sensei is a wonderful teacher!

[@cyberciscowebdev8371]

I love this style of teaching 👍

[@bhimsenk2]

So good to see I'm not the only one here in 2020 :)

[@DafineDesign]

This was one of my breakthrough lessons! Thank you JapanSociety !

[@plnarayanan3652]

Only now I am able to understand Japanese sentence structure. Thank you. This teacher does a good job. Many thanks to her efforts.

[@tanapornbunnarugsagorn5634]

You are the best Sensei. You have very good explanation technique. Thank you very much for upload this on youtube. I really appreciate your teaching.

[@firdausikirazi3845]

japan society's lessons are so helpful!!! thank youuu...arigatou gozaimasu...

[@JapanSocietyNYC]

No, we're still going to continue the Waku Waku series. These language lessons (which had been delayed for some time) are meant to represent more of what a typical class at Japan Society would be like. So you can consider it some additional language learning, from a different sensei as well.

[@ingridvelasco9241]

Great video I have been learning a lot with these lessons and are wonderful to review what I learned from school.

[@angelynfantinalgo9750]

thank you so much for the lessons sensie. You are indeed like a mother and i like the way you discuss the topic. Arigatou Gozaimasu.

[@mscmsc1652]

Thank you so much Miyashita Sensei and Japan Society. Im learning so fast with Miyashita Senseis lessons, its amazing.

[@Nuruness]

This is definately the most difficult lesson so far >.< i think everything was being explained a bit too fast. I do really like these lessons however, they are a great help!

[@andreagiraldomdphd.8376]

Dear Prof, very nice lesson indeed. You are wonderful teacher . A

[@ChuaDaphne]

this is really helpful! I can now form longer Japanese sentences! yay

[@hayfwhay]

Thanks for teaching🙏🙏😘, It is very boring🙄now because of the virus😓, I only stay at home so I tried to learn Japanese because I like to go to Japan🇯🇵, hope it will be better soon and the people on the cruise will be healthy and they can be better soon

[@GengoNoTabi]

Wow! This is an excellent video. Very well done! Japan society is doing some of the best YT Japanese language video lessons.

[@elohelreh]

Great lesson, i love learning japanese in phrases - makes the most sense to me.

[@Serbrethren]

Sensei.....? We didn't go over some of these before.....

[@chaskarmukund]

Sensei wa namae o nan desu ka

[@aylakennedy7997]

Mukund Chaskar- why do you want to know my name :/

[@SpectatorAlius]

@@chaskarmukund You weren't listening very closely to Sensei -- what did you think the 'o' is doing there? 'Desu' is a copula, not a transitive verb!

[@chaskarmukund]

Oh sorry, thanks.@@SpectatorAlius

[@ahuizotl8]

Thank you very much sensei, Thanks to your effort, I have learned a lot!!

[@sawkelvyn4774]

Quite good and clear explanation. Easy to learn and easy to pick up. Domo arigatoo goziamasu. Kelvyn Saw from Singapore

[@JapanSocietyNYC]

There is no "R" sound in Japanese, so that is why words like 「らいねん」have a "L" sound rather than a "R" sound.

[@ProMathlete]

Thank goodness you are back with these lessons!

[@GenkiStreet]

What a beautifully put together video. Very clear and easy to follow.

[@sheikahchick9861]

These videos are really good! I'm currently studying japanese at a small school in the city, and the teaching is nowhere near as clear as this. This is super helpful, thank you!

[@componbiki]

This will be the study of English for me.

[@meofomi]

Izanagi & Izanami lolll

[@componbiki]

Huong Do I'm English is not good.

[@jefreydelacruz462]

Yes I admire this sensei. So calm and easy to follow, keep it up! ありがとうございます、せんせい、🙏🙇‍♂️

[@Khushi_R9]

It wasn't fast paced, she just introduced more vocabulary words than in previous videos, which is very important when u learn a new language. Just take your time in memorizing these words, no one wants you to rush. Also, damn its 2020!!

[@ravenlord4]

The order is very flexible. Some general rules of thumb are topic before subject, time and location towards the beginning, direct and indirect objects towrds the end, and nothing after the verb except for verb auxilliaries and particles.

[@hiteshgomey56]

Very very nice good and excellent ever forever A lot of word to say Perfect channel Thank you Japan society ありがとう😘

As I learn more of this language, the less mysterious and alien it becomes to me.

My second semester of Japanese in college and I still struggle a bit with particles. I like to come back to this video when I need a refresher.

[@johnmatmat8658]

You're a lifesaver🙂. Thank you so much for explaining better. You're a very effective sensei.

[@joanflorence3283]

doumo arigatou gozaimasu, sensei! these series are helping me a lot in learning japanese. please continue making more videos !

[@H.pylori]

I also noticed that she rushed this lesson, but she wanted to get a defined amount of information in 7 minutes. But her teaching style is so good that I now have the basis for understanding particles. Wish she was still teaching. She has the patience of my elementary school teacher. But this was 10 years ago. Hope she appreciates the favorable comments.

[@TransformiceEagle]

へ　and 　に can be used the same way: to indicate the destination of the action. But に is more emphatic ( Maybe I'm mistaken, but one of those is indeed more emphatic than the other ) . に can replace へ, but へ can't replace に in some cases, so I just don't use it. ( btw, I'm not japanese or anything, I'm just trying to help.

[@mrkrisantha9]

Doumo arigato gozaimasu...sensei

[@1997milesaway]

Thank you so much I understand better now. Sitting for my JLPT N5 soon and you have been my home sensei. Arigatou Gozaimasu!

[@Haleyangelo]

Salted I am! I'm actually taking Japanese in college right now this is my first semester but it is an intensive class so it's two semesters in one ;-; that's the only way they offered it. Anyway I still use youtube videos sometimes to help study so it's definitely helpful! :) Good luck with your japanese too!

[@SaltedMallows]

Danke

[@tomtucjr]

へ specifically refers to a direction or goal (i.e. heading somewhere - a destination). に, amongst other things refers generally to the location in general.
