The flash of text during the second of 13:47 is コンタクトをつけたまま寝た。 I slept with the contacts in

[@philipbrowning3544]

All the fun asides always make it easier to remember the grammar points being taught. Can't fall asleep while one of Misa Sensei's videos is on!

[@wynter858]

I love your hair!

[@ozthekeymaster]

As in the lyric in "Let It go" in Japanese「ありのままで 空へ風に乗って, ありのままで 飛び出してみるの」😻😻

[@Scion141]

Was thinking about this when going through the video, though I was wondering about the あり part, as it seemed to be a masu stem, which wasn't covered. But, turns out ありのまま is a set phrase.

[@kozniv]

@@Scion141 i don’t know if im too late and you’ve probably already found it out, but, what you call a “masu stem” is acctually called 連用形(れんようけい), also known as the “continuative form”. this stem can be used to connect sentences just like the て-form, but it also can turn verbs into nouns. and thats what happens in 「ありのまま」. the verb ある is turned into a noun あり. thats also why の is following it

[@percoxxets]

I was fluent in Japanese when i was a kid but I’ve forgotten almost all of it and now I will try to learn it as soon as i get free and your channel is a HUGE HELP I don’t have words to describe how lucky i feel that i have found your channel you have helped me a lot i could communicate to people in school and pass my a very important test just because of you so i just want to say that I really appreciate your hard work and please keep on doing your best !!!!

[@urphakeandgey6308]

Are you "hafu?" Cuz I am as well, actually 3/4 Japanese if you count my 1/2 Native Okinawan. I was always "okay" at Japanese, but never enough to not be called "gaijin."

[@sugarcane_is_rad]

Loved how you gave example statements from real life like the kid remarking her mom's beauty

[@abood.7795]

I was literally just learning まま usage but it was hard and I got stuck on some parts but when I suddenly open youtube, MISA SENSEI UPLOADED. Thank you so much!

[@DANGJOS]

12:04 Maybe it is logical. For the past tense, you're describing what unchanged state had occurred and continues to be, so you use the past tense, since it happened. But in the negative, something not happening having a permanent future effect and state makes less sense, I think. Also, ない is an auxiliary adjective, so it's good for describing things. I'm probably wrong and have no clue what I'm talking about 😅

[@nokts3823]

You are exactly right. When something happened, you describe the event with a verb, and this event might have an aftermath, a result state. Then you can talk about that state remaining unchanged with まま. When something DIDN'T happen, that is in itself a state, so it gets described with ない, an adjective (which after all is said and done, is nothing more than a stative verb). That's why it makes perfect sense to describe that state in non-past tense. When you use the past tense with a verb + まま you are not really referring to the past action either, but rather, the present state resulting from that action!

[@kielcasundo7210]

Your contents are really helpful for those who are studying Japanese by themselves. I am in Japan right now so I can truly say that what you are doing is making a great changes on someone. Please continue what you are doing since I really learned a lot. Thank you for your efforts!

[@blackrosenuk]

I love sleep, too, but I'd NEVER fall asleep while watching one of your videos. Always both educational and fun.

[@Mayakuya]

You are the best japanese teacher on youtube :) Thank you for another great lesson!

[@ThirDKing-hw8ur]

Thank you very much @Misa-san your contents here in KZbin is very helpful for me. I'm here in Japan currently working and almost every day i watch your videos I'm thankful not only Because i Learn new in Japanese but also Fall in love with at the same time. 🤭

[@certifiedcib7958]

Literally at late N3 level and didn't understand this grammar concept at all no matter how much I tried until now. Thank you so much

[@andrewthornquist5141]

ミサ先生の動画が全部楽しくて、役に立つだ。本当にありがとうございます!

[@ianborukho]

U are a legend for all of these highly specific explanatory videos. Also I started watching erased based on your suggestion and reference to Stein's Gate. It's pretty good so far and it's helping my ears pick out the learning material. Thank youuuu!

[@elianewinter2638]

there's no better japanese teacher than you, sensei! Thank you for all the insightful lessons! i'll support you via ko-fi

[@Doomwarden13]

Ive really been looking for a good explanation for mama, ive seen numerous examples in grammer guides that didnt really explain its use. Thank you so much!

[@jaquaviuspeterson8785]

こんにちはみさ先生、ままについて教えてくれてありがとう、説明がいつもはっきりと分かる安くてそれにカルフルな例文が好きです。

[@arigathanks5162]

Thanks for the lesson! Still in the N5-level, and this was the first N4-level video that I watched. I still can't read most of the Japanese comments below because there's mostly unusual Kanji for me. And can only make broken-grammar/beginner Japanese sentences. Nevertheless, thanks once again for this free lesson. Some sentence I made while watching: ヘッドホンを使ったままで、寝ていた。

[@18Knowledge]

One of the best japanese teacher on the planet just mentioned resident evil. My eyes got shine hearing that. I'm big fan of RE, my son's name is Leon. Btw. Your way of teaching is spectacular Misa Sensei. 😉

[@Jamie-lx9ig]

Now imagine if someone sleeps while standing on the train with the their eyes open :D Great video as always, thank you very much!

[@roshankafle3602]

You are so much beautiful.I love the way,you teach...it's a wonderful informative vedio for those people who wants to learn japanese language...I am regular to watch your vedio ...i love your voice and the way of presentation ❤

[@antispeedrun]

Re: 2:20 in, not complicated, makes sense to me. Thanks!

[@mrmatz408]

Thanks!

[@otaku_inteligente]

I absolutely love your lessons. Thanks for doing great content here! ❤️

[@aceofgames5584]

Misa your lessons have been amazing and a core component to me studying for certifications and fluency. I would love a video of you showing us how to sign up for the JLPT in the US as it is not the easiest thing in the world. Will continue lessons until I get to my goal regardless!

[@user-xy2gf5kb3h]

This is not difficult. Last year I registered for JLPT in Ukraine (was canceled due to coronavirus), and this year I registered in Poland. In Ukraine, the registration took place live at the university where the Japanese cultural center was located, where I had to fill out three sets of documents (one for myself, one for sending to Japan, and another set for the commission in Ukraine), however, I did this while still at home (according to the tutorial on the Internet). In Poland, registration was very fast, and was carried out via the Internet, three packs of documents did not have to be filled out. I recommend you check out the JLPT global site and look up information on US cities. *(Maybe somewhere I wrote with errors, so sorry).

[@Gikkeoi]

I had an idea of what it meant but thanks for the clarification! 👍

The darkness gives me feelings of quietness and peacefulness. With the lights on makes it too busy and loud.

Thank you for another useful lesson, Misa 先生。I feel like I'm always learning a lot from your Grammar videos!

[@luisfeliperossi3616]

Wow nice video and explanation! You've got yourself a new follower! You're making a difference in people's lives! Keep it up!!!!

[@ouissemzr3346]

Thank you Misa sensei 💖💕💕

[@person8325]

Thank you for making these videos! They're so helpful each time

[@MusicalRaichu]

I think affirmative verb with まま needs past tense because something has to be already established in that state. so 灯りを付けたまま寝る means that relative to the time I go to bed, the light will have to have been switched on for it to remain that way. But negative verb with まま needs to be in imperfect tense because it refers to something never happening. 服を外さないまま寝る means that relative to the time I go to bed, undressing did not happen and won't happen. With nouns and adjectives, the past tense suggests it used to be that way but is no longer now. きれいだったまま is contradictory: it used to be (だった) while remaining (まま) pretty/clean doesn't make too much sense.

[@urphakeandgey6308]

Japanese grammar is rather consistent, perhaps because Japanese is mostly a language isolate, especially in comparison to English.

[@MatadorM9]

Nice video. I was trying to understand how to use まま. Btw, まま sounds like the works mom in Spanish (mamá). But the word ままで sounds like a very rude Spanish expression lol

[@jaycee330]

Someone noted "ppanashi" below, perhaps you make a quick vid about this form (leaving in a state, but with negative nuance).

[@jaycee330]

In short: the form is (Verb masu form) (- masu) +ppa nashi. This implies something left in a state, but with a negative connotation, such as a child leaving his toys out, or leaving a door open and letting the warm air out.

[@dirtcop11]

It is interesting that one word has different meanings in different languages, yet is pronounced very similarly. Mama is mother in English. I love your videos but wish I could get a book showing the 3 ways of writing in Japanese. In grammar school in the US, we have books that show young children how to make letters in the alphabet. As a novice to the Japanese way of writing, I am like a child.

[@tobywilson]

Mama (ママ) is also used by Japanese kids to mean mum too. It's a bit baby-ish, kinda like it is in English.

As usual you are one of the best for learning japanese on YT, thank you for your work ! One thing is frustating me for a while tho, the quality of the sound isn't really good (I guess you are using your camera's mic for this). So it would be awesome to invest in a separate microphone in the future !! I think it's quite important since your channel is based on you teaching to us a language. I hope you are doing fine in your life, keep doing your great job 💪💪

ご無沙汰ですね、美沙先生に健在にありますように。 『～まま』って言う文法構造の意味を明瞭にしていただき、ありがとうございます。英語の直訳で「leave as it is, (remain) unchanged」ってたぶんで、思い出すことができた。近未来に、他の「まま」N2文法の構築や使い方が見られると願っています。 相変わらず、動画の内容は過去に作成した動画を超えることが連続するぜ。これからもがんばってね。

[@chimeiamv]

Misaaaaa do you still do Learning Japanese with Songs? I really loved the one you did with Silhouette. Can you please do 言葉の要らない約束? It's one of my favorite Naruto endings and it also fits the characters and theme so well. I want everyone else to enjoy this ending as well, so it would be great if you could cover it! tysm if you see this ;o;

[@johnandrews2167]

I can't sleep well with any kind of light. I even cover the LED lights from clocks because they are too bright. Has to be totally dark.
