This is actually one of the most useful videos I can think of, because at least for the first year I felt like I only understood Japanese when women spoke it and had a really hard time (well, sometimes still do) understanding my male friends, and it was only later that I realized, that well, that was because only the women spoke the sort of Japanese I had been learning all that time. :D

[@DickTrikle]

Same!

[@Diginegi]

Cause for some reason all the Japanese courses/books/etc are very good at teaching Japanese that actually no one uses :/

[@luxstellaelunae]

As he first arrived in Japan many years ago, my brother was laughed at by his male friends because he had learned Japanese from university and his girlfriends so he spoke in a feminine way. He had to learn to speak like a male.

[@vukkulvar9769]

[@hugodaniel8975]

Are you lgbt?

[@Gabu_Dono]

There is also just general intonation. I was once told I had a feminine pronunciation... then I lived with some hardcore old farmer women in the country side who spoke very roughly and no one has said my pronunciation is feminine since then!

[@DiamondsRexpensive]

I've noticrd this not just in Japanese, but in general the countryside usually has the rough sounding ways of expression whereas in the capital city it is "feminine" even if its both men and women speak in this softer feminine way.

[@ヘルマン-d2f]

give that man an oscar! I love how expressive his takes came out. really helpful

[@mobsczba]

i-adjective changes like below: ai→ee nai nee, umai umee, kusai kusee, takai takee, karai karee, katai katee, shoppai shoppee, yowai yoee.. ui→ii karui karii, warui warii, samui samii, mazui mazii, atsui achii, kayui kaii.. oi→ee omoi omee, osoi osee, omoshiroi omoshiree, sugoi sugee, tsuyoi tsuee.. it sounds rude but everybody says like these casually, especially men, but women also😉 you can use them among your family and friends.

[@Niso_Sopas]

I love how animated the guy is. 😂 Helps a lot with understanding the context!

[@Louisvr2024]

Videos about ending particles are awesome. I like the way men speak and conjugate verbs differently. But I also like the female style, when girls use "no yo", "desu wa", "wa yo" and "kashira". I hope Miko makes a video about these soon :)

[@andreafantin9567]

it seems like you like girls from decades ago

[@anabibi8178]

this style of speaking is mostly used in fiction like princess , rich girl style . like well raised girl esp kashira :)

[@daughterofYahweh93]

can you do a video on how japanese people use "kedo" at the end of a sentence?

[@vanessameow1902]

Yess pleasee

[@Junkyard_Shaman]

if you live in Osaka anyway, you can use it practically all the time, everywhere, any place, any part of the sentence! :D Basically I think you can replace English "anyway", "however", "but", sometimes maybe even "eventhough" (although there is a proper grammar to this, but contextually the meanings overlap ((kedo))), I think it is (at least here) sometimes used kind of as a softer way to express "よ" too. Of course Miku can explain it better.

[@ヘルマン-d2f]

Yesssssssssssss

[@violetsteele350]

It basically is like buuuuuut a lot of the the time. 寿司食べたいけど could be understood as "I wanna eat sushi, but...". In this case, it's a natural way to ask for a sushi place

[@eh4467]

Hello リアナ, I’m a Japanese English learner. It seems to me that it’s similar to “though” in English. We use “kedo” to show that you’re not willing to do it. And you can use it in the end of sentence casually just like “though”. It sounds very casual too, compared to “daga”, “dakedo” or “shikashi”.

[@808penapple4]

Not in textbooks so thank you for this Real Japanese lesson . No wonder I can't understand chanbara without subtitles

[@DiamondsRexpensive]

What/who is chanbara?

[@808penapple4]

[@melodyofcarillon]

Finally someone who explains clearly these differences. Thank you so much.

[@ta4music459]

And.. I understood Miku-sensei easily, mostly, while I didn't get anything of what the man said.. that's presumably because my wife is female, lol! Joking aside, the difference in male/female speech patterns comes on top of the various plain/polite/humble/ and a couple more sets of language components.. this is one of the contributing factors which complicates learning Japanese. It's like as soon as you learn that "Ah, no gender, no plurals (mostly), simple logical grammar. Maybe this is easy?" then that's negatively balanced with other complications - sometimes you feel that the language is five times larger than it needs to be. Well, there's no plan B, so がんばれ! I'll just get on with it :-)

変なことを何も知らない外国人に教えるのいい加減にしてくださいね。アンタのせいで変な勘違いしてる奴がいっぱいいるんだわ Nowadays we all japanese use any words regardless of gender. It's understandable boomer like you didn't know this but It's totally wrong that someone who's supposed to teach correct Japanese don't update their brain and teach like "women/men don't use this word blah blah"

More like this please. A series analysing anime lines would also be great. Thank you very much. 🙇🏻‍♂️

[@クリス-u2g]

This all makes so much more sense now after watching a few seasons of One Piece.

[@andreafantin9567]

also many of my Japanese male friends don't use よね in casual speech because it's too feminine. When I asked a friend of mine from Kanto area what he'd use instead of, say, そうだよね he told me he'd say そうやな, which kinda surprised me since it should be typical of Kansai area, or at the very least he'd change ね with な.

[@snorkchop8134]

Do we have to sound feminine if we don't want to??

Virtually everything he’s saying are things my wife won’t let me say. Other Japanese tend to suggest against using such expressions (at least to me).

[@DiamondsRexpensive]

I think maybe because it makes one sound like a punk? But it does sound fun ngl.

[@lowbottomy_4839]

Great video, thank you, and so important to know when learning Japanese because it’s hardly ever taught in a classroom setting. if possible, are you able to briefly explain please the difference between the particles ぞ and ぜ, for example, 行くぞ vs 行くぜ?

Nice video.😍 Sometimes, male way of speaking is too casual, so I don't really recommend that.😭 Personally, I recommend neutral way of speaking.✨

[@snorkchop8134]

What's the neutral way?

[@808penapple4]

What/who is chanbara? I was asked to explain my comment by Diamind san. Chanbara is a genre of Japanese films like Seven Samurai where the action is katana swordfighting. Chanbara is onomatopoeia for the sound of katana clashing together. It's been said that George Lucas was so impressed by Kurosawa's chanbara that Star Wars featured laser swordplay and costumes like Vader's samurai helmet. Even the anime Demon Slayer borrows chanbara elements but with the male characters speaking more neutral. Another type of film with heavy male speech is the Tora san series, Otoko wa tsurai yo. I highly recommend that any of Miku's fans watch Tora san or any good chanbara movies.

[@boovgari8759]

i guess i'm not feminine enough because i'm more familiar with the men casual pronounciation i need to start learning japanese formally rather than learning it from watching idol variety, anime, japanese drama & etc.

I love this, super interesting Miku!!!:) also how and where can I buy your products to learn the verbs and such? I can’t find it:(

[@Luna-ft8yh]

What if I would use the male version in casual conversation with friends? Would it be acceptable? Or would it have a special meaning? Is it that women are simply more keen to rules and stick to original grammar Or is it that men want to express they're the man by changing the grammar? And what if a young woman uses it? And up to what age do they do that? Is it a teenage thing? Or up to young adults 25-28 Or above too?

A better translation of めんどくさい is "its a hassle" of course "its" may change depending on the sentence, but key word is "hassle" めんどくさい。We don't say, "I can't be bothered" in English, so listeners might be kind of confused with this and not get the proper meaning. Just thought i'd let you know. 英語がちゃんと出来るの分かってるから英語で説明したけれども日本語も出来てめんどくさいの意味ちゃんと分かってるので信じていいですよ！約束！笑笑
