Your graphical representation of the structure is very unique and appreciable also You establish the complicated relations of the parts of the sentence very easily.

[@reykhault4072]

This was such an informative video. I came here because I was baffled to see why there is a に Particle after some person names and I found it somewhere in the tips and on top of that I got some answers for some questions I didn't know I have! :D ありがとうございます先生！

[@rons3634]

Excellent lesson, as always. This one will take some time to sink in.

This was the greatest Japanese learning I've watched.

[@trendingnow126]

Arigatogozaimasu Sensei 💜 Yay, I was able to make a sentence, although learning new language is overwhelming when you look it as a whole it's like ocean, but consuming it drop by drop doesn't feel overwhelming.

[@ri_tteung]

Amazing.. thank you sensei.

[@juligoldenbaum5623]

ive been learning japanese for two weeks now and i was kinda overwhelmed by the meanings of the particles. Very good video, thank you so much :)

[@joynarongii]

Only the best. No other words for this vid ❤

[@user-vn4yw8dt3m]

This is exactly what I needed!! Thank you so much, I've been wondering about this weird usage of に for quite some time now.

[@mclovin4528]

i understood "かえってきます" as "go back home and return here" for example im in japan my friend will go back to america, but will come right back here

[@oabonce123]

great lesson! all your videos make me feel like I have accomplished something when I am able to translate the last sentence :)

THIS IS SO HELPFUL!! THANK YOU!

[@sherwinboquecosa7285]

Thnx for this informative lesson

[@drekforder2952]

I somehow learned a new 6 words from this lesson just by hearing it. Amazing new lesson. One question, I already know how to make sentence in past but how to make a sentence in future?

[@qwertyasdf2838]

@Drek ForDer I guess there is no future tense as in Italian or French or auxiliary words like "will" in English, it works by putting a word which refers to the future like "ashita"(tomorrow)but i may be wrong or inaccurate.

[@drekforder2952]

@@qwertyasdf2838 ou thanks. That's what I thought too but I wasn't sure.

[@YukoSensei]

He is correct. MASU form (e.g., 行きます) can indicate both present & future, and the context of the sentence decides the tense. We also have ways to say "plan to" or "intend to" for the future but basically, you can use MASU form. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqfUhKish7Vqars Hope this helps!

[@drekforder2952]

@@YukoSensei arigato gosaimasu. Now I finaly understand.

[@liberthayate4006]

Saya sudah belajar hari ini, Terima kasih 🙏🙏

[@kimchoi11_]

Thank you for this! I used 母 when I tried to make the sentence. I didn't know it was only meant to be said by the speaker. I've learned that too aside from the particle usage from the lesson! :)

[@theRaika]

Great lesson

[@theblackdragon7321]

Its interesting that you use (in order) as I have never used that in a sentence.. that might be for very, very proper English.. As we normally just use to do or will do, or can do.. thank you for these lessons! I'm hoping someday I can afford the money to learn the full lessons

[@sillymesilly]

In order is used all the time. In order for the engine to function it needs gasoline.

[@gautamgulde4456]

interesting

[@nhdwm731]

Thank u teacher

[@Supercocono6]

I am stuck on a sentence… if anyone could explain it I would be very grateful. 母に本を読んでもらいました For me the ni seems like it’s saying I read a book TO my mother but apparently it’s my mother read a book to me.

I believe that “ni” more than a destination marker then should be called a “routine marker”?

Can't we use e (へ) for places?? Like tomodachi wa toshukan e ikimasu.

THat was fun learning 😊.. how about an example with 5 ni in one sentence.. Are there any more functions of ni apart from these 5?

5月に先生は日本にお母さんに会いに帰ります.

[@hritesh7]

sensei, can に is also use to give or lend someone

[@intisarulaziz7188]

Will "を" also work instead of "に"? Like: "家族 + を", "お母さん + を"?

[@seamusmccollum8893]

じょしは今難しくないです！　ありがとうゆこせんせい！

[@theRaika]

in the example, "kazoku ni ai ni amerika ni tomodachi wa kaettekimasu" i also become confuse because i I'm seeing everything that comes before the noun "tomodachi" as modifying the noun "tomodachi". And then i see "To meet family in america friend return". Because i'm not good at picking up modying clauses quicky, it always gets me. But based on what i have learned so far, that sentence isn't really modifying tomodachi, since its not a logical clause, meaning it didn't end with a engine like a verb, copulla or adjective or is it?

[@jtmix5545]

damn I wrote at the exercise: 先生は5月に日本に母にみに帰ります。 😂😂😂😂

[@mjoyyygb]

Is the first “に” can be replaced with “へ”? Ex. あした、としょかんへほんをかりにいきます。 Will it still be the same translation? どうも有難う御座います。

[@user-ew4bw2jy9g]

No, it won't! 😀明日(あした)､図書館(としょかん)へ本(ほん)を借(か)り"に"行(い)きます｡ This will make sense!! 日本語がんばって下さいね!!

夫は東京に車の家賃にいきます。 これは正しいですか I try to make my own sentence I hope this is correct?

[@YukoSensei]

I assume you meant to say "My husband will go to Tokyo to rent a car"? Then you have to use the stem of the verb 借ります（かります）"to rent" as below. 夫は東京に車を借りにいきます。 I hope this helps!
