Learn 670 basic words for JLPT/N5 (You Must Know!)

[@Ash-lq7ot]

FINALLY, A JLPT vocab video where words that are categorically the same or very similar are grouped together, this video is a godsend

[@ayu2274genki]

2:08 I would like to explain the weird way of our Japanese counting system because a lot of Japanese learners are curious about it. ついたち is written as 月立ち(tsuki-tachi). (to be accurate it’s kanji is 朔日 ) Tsuki means the moon. Tachi means to stand or to start. Because Japanese use to use the lunar calendar back then, ついたち means the beginning of the month.(new moon 🌚) Further more, 三十日 (さんじゅうにち) used be called みそか, and some religious people who go to Shinto shrine for their practice call 三十日 as みそか even today. (not popular though) If you’re interested, following is the old Japanese way of counting basic numbers, Kun-reading On-reading (Chinese reading) 1 ひと 一 ichi 2 ふた 二 ni 3 み 三 san 4 よ 四 shi 5 いつ 五 go 6 む 六 roku 7 なな 七 shichi 8 や 八 hachi 9 ここの 九 kyu 10 とお 十 ju 11 とお あまり ひと 十一 ← あまり means left over 12 とお あまり ふた 十二 … 20 はた 二十 21 はた あまり ひと 二十一 22 はた あまり ふた 二十二 … 30 みそ 三十 31 みそ あまり ひと 三十一 32 みそ あまり ふた 三十二 … Since 日(day) is read as ひ (or nichi), counting days would be as follows ひとひ 一日 → ついたち (meaning starting day) No one says ひとひ any more. ふつか 二日 みっか 三日 よっか 四日 いつか 五日 むいか 六日 なのか 七日 ようか 八日 ここのか 九日 とおか 十日 とお あまり ひとひ 十一日 とお あり ふたひ 十二日 … はつか 二十日 はつか あまり ひとひ 二十一日 はつか あまり ふたひ 二十二日 … みそか 三十日 みそか あまり ひとひ 三十一日 みそか あまり ふたひ 三十二日 … As following the lunar calendar, the very first day is a special day so we Japanese call 一日(ひとひ ) as ついたち. But since 1873, we Japanese have used the solar calendar adopting to western society, and not many people say みそか 三十日 any more , because in solar calendar there are 31 days sometimes meaning that みそか is no longer as important as it used to be. (Lunar calendar has ave. of 29.5days) Conclusion as follows For those reasons, nowadays we count in a strange way 🤷‍♂️ 1日 ついたち ↓ 2日 ふつか 3日 みっか 4日 よっか 5日 いつか traditional way (or Kun-reading ) 6日 むいか and very popular way 7日 なのか 8日 ようか 9日 ここのか 10日とおか ↑ ーーーーーーーーーーーーー じゅういちにち じゅうににち ← Chinese way (or On-reading ) じゅうさんにち … はつか ← easy to say so traditional way, maybe 🤷‍♂️ にじゅういちにち にじゅうににち ← Chinese way (or On-reading) … さんじゅうにち (みそか) さんじゅういちにち ← Chinese way (On-reading) さんじゅうににち … But for 1日〜10日, you still could say 1日 いちにち 2日 ににち 3日 さんにち 4日 よんにち 5日 ごにち 6日 ろくにち 7日 ななにち 8日 はちにち 9日 くにち (or きゅうにち) 10日 じゅうにち sounds childish though 🤷‍♂️ Sorry for the loooong explanation 🙇🏻

[@scotmcpherson]

Joytan App even Japanese done use Japanese keyboards. I guess some do, but most don’t. They use google IME in most cases and use romaji to create hiragana which in turn era converted into a drop down menu of kanji.

[@BobbiHiru]

how do you translate mangas if youre not n5 (assuming you mean not n5 yet)? im trying to do the same

[@melodysaber7535]

@@BobbiHiru uhh how to explain,, 😅💦 i started off with the n5 kanjis like everyone, but after doing some basic ones (like 130 or so) I kinda got bored of uhh just doing easy ones? So I started learning random words left & right, or words that I saw coming up often in actual Jp conversations. This really helped build a good vocab, so i can actually kinda hold conversations with natives & usually understand mangas (provided they have furigana, if not I might be a little lost lol, I ask for help though) but also, it means I still don't know many simple words from n5 level like idk.. word for bank? words that don't come up often, so I never say I'm n5 level. If you're trying to do the same, I suggest starting with basics + read raws (jp ver) of a manga, doesn't have to be in one sitting! You can do it daily, weekly or monthly however you like, just regularly immerse yourself in the language and look up new words that you come across during your read, try memorizing some of them and don't feel disheartened if you can't understand much on your first few tries. Believe me once you get the hang of it, reading through the raws of a chap and understanding all of it without any help would be so worth it ^-^ TLDR; just immerse yourself in the language as much as you can, don't stick to n-whatever levels and try enhancing your vocab with words "more commonly used" instead of "more basic but not commonly used" words and patiently read jp texts every now and then :) (i didn't mean to go on a rant, i hope this helped even a millimeter!)

It'd be a lot better if they didn't have the written english translation. Or if they could delay it for a second or two until they say it. If there are some words that you're not quite sure about, you can't be confident you got it when you already saw the translation.

一日 i thought this was pronounce as いちにち。then it’s ついたち why?

[@JoytanApp]

I think there are mainly two patterns where N日 (N: number) appears. 1. N月N日 = month + date form 2. N日(目, 間 etc) = Day N-th, For N days, etc There are special readings for the first ten counts (一日 to 十日) and the special readings of 二日 to 十日 are used for both patterns but 一日 is read in the special one for only pattern 1. After 十日, except 二十日, they only have normal readings so that there should be less confusion. E.g. 十月一日 = じゅうがつ-ついたち = October 1st. * If you read this じゅうがつ-いちにち, you will sound like an elementary school student ;) 八月の一日目 = はちがつ-の-いちにちめ = The 1st day of August. * You can't read 一日目 ついたちめ. 九月九日 = くがつ-ここのか = September 9th. * 九日 should be ここのか instead of く にち or きゅう にち 七月の九日間 = なながつ-の-ここのか-かん = 9 days in July. *九日間 must be ここのか-かん instead of きゅうにち-かん but くにち-かん also sounds ok. N-th　　Special ／Normal 一日　　ついたち／いち-にち 二日　　ふつか　／（に-にち） 三日　　みっか　／（さん-にち） 四日　　よっか　／（よん-にち） 五日　　いつか　／（ご-にち） 六日　　むいか　／（ろく-にち） 七日　　なのか　／（なな-にち） 八日　　ようか　／（はち-にち） 九日　　ここのか／（きゅう-にち） 十日　　とおか　／（じゅう-にち） 十一日　　　　　／じゅういち-にち 十二日　　　　　／じゅうに-にち ・・・ 二十日　はつか　／にじゅうにち
