ほど vs ぐらい / X is so...that / to the point... JLPT N3

[@amarug]

awesome!! i really like your N3 series so far, I hope there are many more to come. you always provide soo much more extra info and examples than most other channels. i would say "死ぬほど心配した" literally translated is maybe more something like "my worry was to the degree of dying"

[@jaycee330]

In english, this is more expressed naturally as "worried to death".

[@amarug]

@@jaycee330 yes of course, but often times when learning a language so different from your own, it can be useful to really look at the precise way something is expressed, next to, of course, translating naturally. here this helps us understand the structure of how ほど works.

[@starbarzs7160]

I think the literal translation would be closer to "About to die". This keeps the theme of ほど meaning about with both Time & Expression. "死ぬほど心配した" - I was so worried I was about to die

[@shayd3136]

I'm soooooooooooo glad and grateful that you're making N3 videos!!!! Please continue making more! You've been here since the early stages of my Japanese learning! I can't put into words how thankful I am🥺💓 You're one of the biggest reasons why I've reached the level I'm at right now and although I can't do much in return because I'm just a student, I try my best not to skip ads, I promote your channel to other language learners, and most importantly, I share your enthusiasm and dedication for the language Much love from the Philippines 💌

Misa sensei! I'm a new student of yours, about 10 lessons away from finishing your Absolute Beginner playlist. I just wanted to say thank you so much for these videos! I've been trying to learn on my own for many years, so there's a good handful of Japanese words and phrases I know, but... it isn't at all the same as having a great teacher! Your lessons have taken about 5 years of self-learning and finally made it useable to me! For the first time, I actually understand some videos in Japanese. Before, it was like, "why do i know so many words, but still can't understand anyone?" 😭 But thanks to you, it's starting to happen, YAY! ☺ Please give us a lesson some day on song lyrics by my favorite Jrock band: UVERworld. I have heard that the singer is a really good and deep writer, and that he often uses some pretty advanced phrases/words. Us overseas fans only understand the songs through translations we read online, and even though they aren't always perfect translations, they're enough to make this band really special to us. So, I hope to understand his words on my own some day. I'm really grateful to you for making these lessons for us, and it's so cool to have a teacher that's so smart + sweet and funny ☺ Thank you, Misa sensei! 🌈🌞

Do native speakers not use 数れない? I heard it in a song and I'm surprised the longer alternative seems now more popular

[@zeroimpact742]

What you are trying to say in Japanese is 数え切れない(countless)? There is no such a word as 数れない.

[@Indoor_Carrot]

Yay

[@danthomas4198]

みさ先生からのビデオを見たかげで、私は日本人であるほど日本語が話せる。 I hope it's a correct use of hodo. Anyone reading feel free to correct.

[@jaycee330]

I would use the more polite おかげで, the second sentence is a bit awkward, as it reads 'I can speak to the extent that I'm a Japanese person'. I think you want to say 'I can speak as well as the Japanese', in which case, I would rewrite it without the 'de aru' and just make it: 私は日本人ほど日本語が話せる

[@zeroimpact742]

The use of "ほど" as explained here expresses the degree of a thing by comparing it to something. It is natural for a Japanese person to be able to speak Japanese, and to be able to speak Japanese as well as a Japanese person is not a matter of degree anymore, but a perfect state. Therefore, I feel uncomfortable with the use of "ほど" in your sentence. For example, if there is still a little room for improvement, a phrase like this would make sense. "私は日本語を、日本に10年住んでいる外国人ほどに話すことができます。(I can speak Japanese as well as a foreigner who has lived in Japan for 10 years.)"　I use ほどに instead of ほど to make it clear that ほど is an adverb because ほど has another usage. And I think one of the following would be appropriate to describe your sentence in Japanese. みさ先生のビデオを見たおかげで、私は”日本人と変わらないくらい"日本語が話せる。　or "日本人と同程度に" or "日本人と同じくらいに" or "日本人並に"

[@danthomas4198]

@@zeroimpact742 Thanks. 並びに seems useful to know. And there's also 'ば...ほど". 「そんなに役に立つ返事を読めば読むほど、日本語が上手になる。ありがとうございます。」

[@zeroimpact742]

@@danthomas4198 Oh! you know well about another usage of ほど. Let me correct your mistake on one point. That word doesn't read 並びに(ならびに), but it reads 並に(なみに). No び＝送り仮名 is necessary. This is a very useful and frequently used word. It is also used to evaluate things sometimes in an exaggerated way. ex) 彼はマイケルジャクソンなみに踊りがうまい。　彼はタイガーウッズなみにゴルフがうまい。　　彼女はミサ先生なみに教え方が上手だ。

[@ShiyarokuBasil]

I read some japanese sentences that include ほど, but I can't really figure out what they mean. 1. 勉強すればするほど上手になる。 2. 食べれば食べるほど太くなります。 3. 書けば書くほど覚えられます。 4. 知れば知るほど好きになります。 5. 安ければ安いほどいいです。 6. 高ければ高いほど値段も高くなる。 Does it mean something like "If I do X as much as I can/ as much as possible, Y will happen"? Like, if I study as much as I can/as possible, I will become good. Or, if it's as cheap as possible/as cheap as it can be, it's good. But if that's the case, I still don't quite understand the meaning of 4. and 6. (I know the words, but...)

[@risa8834]

This pattern actually ば...ほど.. pattern. It means The more you do the more .... 1. The more you study the better you become 2.The more you eat the the fatter you'll get. 3. The more I write the more I can remember 4. The more i know about him the more I fall in love with him.

This reminds me of a doujin i translated called "写真にも撮れないほどの近さで". I didn't translate the title for the translation, but i think it would be something like "so close that you can't even take a picture", right?

[@jaycee330]

That's exactly correct. "So close (I) couldn't even take a photo.", literally "being close to the point of not able to photograph even a picture" 写真にも not even a photograph 撮れない not able to take a photograph ほどの to the extent (with "no" substituting for "ga" in the subordinate clause) 近さで is close (proximity)

[@Isen_hart]

in duolingo, they teach us Goro for around with time. Is that ok too?

[@zeroimpact742]

Her example of time is describing a "length" of time, not a point of time.　So, length of time + ほど(程) and a certain point of time + ごろ(頃) But interestingly, the term くらい(or ぐらい) can be used in both cases. ex) 12時くらいにそこに着きます　　　1時間くらい寝ていました She has explained about them in this video.
