Do you like Japanese humor? Do you want to make your Japanese friends laugh?
This time I'll teach you funny Japanese puns AKA ダジャレ (dajare)!
The humor in Japanese puns comes through exploiting similar-sounding words.

This is it. Misa-sensei's entire teaching career has been building up to this. Please feel free to teach entirely in puns from now on, we won't mind.

If having a professional teacher means I won’t get to learn about these fire jokes then I don’t want one 🧐 Thank you for another great lesson 🙏

[@stubbornshauna]

This is exactly the kind of content I need, thank you Misa 😂 I'm glad you share this love of puns and dad jokes. Your channel is my favorite for learning Japanese because you go into all of the little differences and nuances, and every single video I learn something new. Wishing you all the best :) -Shauna

This was such a fun video, you laughing and smiling the whole time made it all the more enjoyable! みさ先生はかわいいすぎて😚 Part 2 please.おねがい! Edit: かわいすぎて*

[@rogierownage]

You made a small grammar mistake there. When you add すぎる to an adjective you drop the last い, so it should be かわいすぎて. Cheers.

Thank you so much, it's amazing how you guys managed to make passive jokes that aren't to deep or offending, but is still funny.

[@burned123456]

I died with the ライスき hahaha As always, great video!

[@VGVindaloo]

We had something like "さむっ" some time ago in Germany: "Das war ein Kalter" ("That was a cold one"), but it is not used any more, as far as I know.

[@sailorcat]

My dad uses it. xD (So it's maybe not used by the younger generation.)

[@dealerofdeth]

Yeah, I am definitely becoming a patron after this. 4 mins in, btw

[@greggieg]

I LOVE puns, and Oyaji gagu, and Dad jokes, and bad jokes. I was thinking of what kinds of oyaji gagu I could tell people here in Japan (mostly to torture them, lol!) You are the awesomest teacher, Misa, please don't stop making great videos!

It's so cute how she laughs at her own bad jokes! Love it!

[@shodobrendan4827]

I had a friend who had a great Banana-Dolphin pun pen they got as souvenir from Japan once. On the side it said "バナナいるか" which you could read as "Are you a banana?" or "Banana Dolphin" since "イルカ" = "dolphin" while "いる　か" could are read as "are you?". I wish I could find a pic. Thanks for making a video about puns! There were some solid grammar points in there!

[@jiiotus]

I liked these puns alot. And your smile when you got excited to tell them. Thank you pikachuprincess for this video

[@milindchakraborty]

Please do an elaborate video on the various usages of なる as well as (なる, 鳴る , 成る, 生る, 無る, 和る... etc.). Please talk about the usages of になる and なる without に particle (like 雷がなりました) and also the differences between なる and verbs like する, 起こる, 達する, 着く, 及ぶ... etc. If it is possible, it will be really helpful.

[@sdlion7287]

you have some awesome laugh XD next week I have an internship in Japan... I don't know if I'm brave enough to use them but this was very funny!

[@elianewinter2638]

i wasn't expecting this video at all but it is a pleasant surprise xD Loved and laughed about this one a lot, thank you ! 🙈👍 ps: 7:39 interestingly, it's similar in German; we call the animal "Huhn" (singular)/"Hühner" (plural) but the meal is called "Hühnchen" instead

I was absolutely thrilled to see this video, one of my biggest motivations for learning Japanese is being able to make bad puns in two languages. XD 私もダジャレが大好きですよ。みさ先生、ありがとうございます！

[@zer69n]

You are the best teacher I ever see!!!

[@timmyturner327]

I was in a livestream chat of a japanese youtuber doing something in city skylines and based off my limited Japanese knowledge I said the city he was building was 'subara-shi'. It was at least an attempt at a Japanese pun, since -shi means city and subarashi means amazing. Was that a good pun, at least by the standards of complexity you might expect from a 外人?

[@mike-qw3wu]

Favourite video ever! If I ever come across a 売店 that sells ダジャレ, I'll be sure to buy ten. (I'm sorry, that's the best I could come up with.)

[@alinmoldovan8921]

No way! ヤバイ！This was so cool! でも、さむっ。I'd really love it to use this today in my japanese's exam! It would have been so cool and a very strong reason for a question like:"として日本語を勉強しますか。"! That's a shame! However,みさ先生,本当ありがとうございます！That will be so useful in the near future! I really love your videos (especially this one,that just cracked me up so much). ダジャレが大好き。みさ先生も大好き。I really hope you will do the second part of it. I hope you will see this,because I waited so long to ask you if you can do another video from "Learn through songs" series,maybe, with a song from イヌヤシャ or another famous song from anime?🙏🙏 😁 You are the only person on KZbin who does this kind of videos and it would be so cool if you could do it more often! よるしく〜 ^^

0:53 LOL, I love how synesthesia works for all mankind. In Italy we'd say it's a "freddura", which means a freeze. You tell a bad joke, you freeze people around you. This impression grew independently among people in Europe and Japan... It's fantastic 🥰

[@thezoverload]

puns are awesome! now I can annoy Japanese people with puns just as much as I annoy English people. I love when she's speaking Japanese, I could listen to her voice all day it's so relaxing and nice to listen to. 10/10 would recommend this channel and I've just subscribed

I love Indian curry and I love it super spicy, so I use the phrase "カレーは辛い" to remember '辛い'

[@ontheedgeofshadow2790]

That Rice love pun was super adorable Misa! lol (Next time I'm out with with my Japanese friends and we have curry I'm going to say "My curry is sexy" or "Is your curry sexy?" and count the weird looks lmao)

[@emergencybattle]

Loved this, please do more pun videos! 😂

[@kawaiimishima]

We tried combining words in nihongo and english and this came out when co workers go home: お疲れバイバイ

[@Japanimal1992]

another ダジャレ that I like is in a situation where you're eating something with ginger that's spicy, or ramen or something. お客さん：ええ、このラメん辛い！ customer : (this ramen is hot!) ダジャレ人：しょうがないね Dad jok-er　:（you must eat it ginger-ly) しょうがない　　means "it can't be helped" ショウガ　is ginger in Japanese. --->ショウガない . Ultimate dad joke.

[@naxxthan9676]

"inaka ni hito wa i-nakatta" recalls me to the german "In Kanada is kanada." It means there is noone in canada. The second "kanada" is dialect and stands for: kana= keiner= no one, da = there. We have a lot of dad jokes here if i unterstand the dad jokes correctly.

[@xv1distort]

[@plr2473]

Japanese comedy is very situational. It is about creating awkward, absurd or embarrassing situations, and/or pointing them out. Prank comedy and slapstick are a part of this. Wordplay also. It crates something absurd out of the mundane or unexpected. For example the sentence, "Have you ever made bread?" sounds exactly the the same as "Have you ever eaten panties?" Manzai (double act) comedy again is situational. It's done through the absurd disconnect between the pair on stage, and the embarrassment and frustration it causes. Wit is also very appreciated in their culture. It means making funny quips in reaction to what others have said, again often referring back to awkward, absurd or embarrassing things. That's what happens when you have these variety shows with a panel of 15 'tarento' sitting there. They're all trying to talk over one another, and any person that can get in a few funny words succinctly wins the live audiences' attention. All the above approaches to comedy are used in American culture too, but in ways that do not quite benefit as much from the second hand embarrassment and awkwardness felt in a collective and passive aggressive society such as Japan. Also, the biggest fundamental difference in comedic approaches is that the set up and punchline joke is not a thing in Japanese comedy, so it often flies over their heads. They interestingly call it an 'American joke,' which also refers in general to foreign jokes or humor they don't get. Sarcasm isn't really common in Japan either.

[@markdeguzman6556]

In Philippines we also use jokes and most especially pickup lines with double meaning words. These Japanese jokes maybe a cultural thing in Japan but they made a lot of sense to me, someone who is studying Nihongo. Much thanks! Btw, Misa sensei is cute and charming especially when she laughs.

[@enguerranthorn7119]
