An easy trick to remember the meaning is that "たら" is the past-tense, so the thing has to happen first, since you are literally using the past version of the verb. "なら" is added to the dictionary form of the word, meaning it will not have happened yet for whatever you are talking about.

[@takeshivasa]

I've never seen someone explaining japanese grammar rules and nuances so well! You've really got talent for this, thank you so much!

[@YouNeverKnowWhoIsWatching]

I am a beginner Japanese learning but I think I am understanding the concept of Nara versus Tara. 🤩 One is like saying: 💁🏾‍♀️if...then/first . The other is like saying 🙆🏾‍♀️ if...should/could Miku sensei, please correct me if I'm wrong, but here are some examples as I am understanding it. 1) Tara: if you want dessert, *then* eat your vegetables (first eat your vegetables) 2) Tara: if you want to go outside, *then* clean your room first(first clean your room) 3)Tara: if you want to buy a house, *then* save a lot of money *** 1)Nara: if you thought you might be late, you _should_ have called 2) Nara: if you want to get rid of that car, you _should_ give it to me. (You _could_ give it to me) 3) Nara: if you're looking for work experience, maybe you could try volunteering 🤔 one IF is sequential, the other IF is conditional. Am I understanding the nuances of Nara versus Tara correctly?

[@Rhovanion85]

Those first three sentences are incorrect. If you use tara it does not mean "first eat your vegetables" but it means "first, want dessert and after you want it, eat your vegetables". Also it sounds weird to use ほしい with tara... even with nara, it seems a more general statement where you would rather use "kereba" .

[@Rhovanion85]

tara is "if... then (next)" nara is "if... then (first)"

本当に便利でした。ありがとございます！

[@kamfuku]

I literally read a grammar dictionary about this same topic and came out non the wiser lol you made me understand it in under 20 minutes. Amazing!

[@legendaryguitarhero]

知らなかった！説明分かりやすい、ありがとう先生

[@mikurealjapanese]

よかった！もっと かいぜんします！

[@legendaryguitarhero]

@@mikurealjapanese そうですね改善しました。先生、もと文法教えてください。

[@rianasgallery8283]

perfect explanation. 日本語の先生を探しているなら、ミクが一番です。ありがとうございます☺️

[@jean-paulbella3911]

授業してくれてありがとうございます！ミク先生が一人で勉強している人に大きな助けをくれる。😃

[@cocoainkyoto]

みく先生、こんな面白くて役に立つ動画をいつも作くってありがとうございます。似てる文法の微妙な違いを分かりやすく説明するから、私が現在の日本語能力の不備を徐々に直せられていきます。私自身にとって、特に役に立つのは関西弁の変体も述べるということです。私は今京都市の在住してるので、関西弁もペラペラに話せるようになりたいわけです！いつも次の動画をお楽しみにしています❤

[@ondrejvasak1054]

みく先生説明したら、分かりやすくなりました。みく先生からなら、この文法を覚えます。

[@LuciferMorningstarOfficial]

As a Italian I can confirm that your gesticulating with the hands is on point! It gave me a bright smile :D Great work btw, your videos help a lot. Keep up with the great work ✊

[@yoshiwhere148]

wow ive been stuck on this so long and ive asked a few japanese friends and they just blank out god bless you and this amazing explanation

[@charondolls]

best explanation video, thank you Miku sensei! Now I'm going to study "ば”

[@medeekdesign]

I love how you throw the Kansai Ben in, I'm a huge fan. I just found your channel、I will be watching all of your videos to further refine my japanese skills.　ほまに勉強になって、どもありがとうございました。

[@medeekdesign]

So what is the difference between よければ、いいんだったら、いいなら、いいならば and よかったら。

[@wayneasera5734]

Finally understand the differences between the two. Thank you please continue to make more videos.

[@Доказательная_педагогика]

Thanks for wonderful explanation, Miku! To sum it up, I would say that 'tara' is more of conditional use of 'when' in English, while 'nara' is closer to 'in case' or 'whether you do it', 'if only you do it'.

[@Rhovanion85]

Indeed it doesn't make sense because 行ったら contains 行った indicating a "completed" action. So basically 日本に行ったら、行く前に日本語を勉強した方がいい。 means: "If I have gone to Japan, it's best I first study Japanese before I am going" the 2nd part doesn't even reflect on the first part. It's as if, if you have gone to Japan you will study Japanese (in Japan) before you go will go "somewhere" (from Japan to somewhere else?).

[@droidon]

The Book Off announcement was spot on hahahha what a treat, miku san :)

[@whitefluffydog5871]

ありがとう！I didn't even know there was a difference, but listening to the explanation it makes a lot of sense. Also, the store clerk skit is scary good. 10/10 すごい！

[@whitefluffydog5871]

Ah! My testimony video made it! That's so cool!

[@mikurealjapanese]

Thank you Robert for your video! It meant a lot to me that you took your time to make this. I really really appreciate it and I really can't take your kindness granted! I truly am grateful!!!♡

[@user-yb9dl6ok9r]

I really like the way Miku explains things. She is such a good teacher. If she offered 1-1 lesson i would sign up for it in a heartbeat.

[@marchanmanulat52]

I like the way you act like a sales lady hahahaha

[@yanimator]

very accurate. i was so shocked to hear this when i went to japan for the first time hahahha.

[@gevodanl7082]

Thank you for this clear and complete lesson.

[@llchan]

すごく役に立つと思います。ありがとうございます。Super useful. Thank you. Keep it up. 頑張れ。

[@kopilathapapandey358]

The way you explain is awesome

[@greyfox3954]

so simply put, "nara" is for hypothetical situations, "tara" for logical causality. Pretty easy grasp, really. The only real nuance is that I have to keep -iku form for "nara"

[@nhungocecoLe]

教え方は本当に分かりやすいです。ありがとうございます！Stay healthy！

[@abisoffer868]

いつものように役に立って楽しいです。ありがとう！

[@stevensacks5479]

I find it helpful to think about the verb tense. たら is the past tense of the verb so “If you did [verb], then [X]”. And ならis about intent. “If you intend to [verb], then [X]”. But I didn’t know about the NAMEなら form that’s great. I usually just say 頑張って！

[@Rationalific]

Very informative! I didn't realize a lot of the differences. Thanks! (Now, I just need to learn the "ば" form's nuances...)

[@chinchinang1]

Thank you so much Miku Sensai, U made learning Japanese so much more fun an easy! Arigatoo gosaimasu🤩

[@millington1322]

I am the singer of a band in Albany, NY. Because I’ve been studying, I was actually going to go to Japan this year to perform 残念ながらコロナのせいで今年の日本への旅行をキャンセルしなければいけませんでした 😭 でもI’ve been studying via a lot of methods (Rocket Japanese, duolingo, other videos) and I can honestly say that Miku Sensei’s videos are by far the most comprehensible when it comes to grammar and other aspects of Japanese. I plan to become a patron soon KZbinの動画を作ってくれてありがとうございます😊

[@philipdavis7521]

Beautifully explained Miku, thanks, I hadn't even noticed there was two different ways of saying 'if'. Love your new look by the way, very stylish.

[@MrYamaMsChii]

THANK YOU!!! THIS IS PERFECT!

[@hopenzola2790]

Hi Miku sensei, thank you so much for this video, it’s really helpful ❤ could you also please make a video about all 「と」「たら」「なら」「ば」

[@ookiichinko]

Best explanation on the web ! I would summarize to x-tara = when, and x-nara = if.

[@kerrymechedal4165]

Excellent lesson Miku san. Thank you so much. Your explanation is very satisfactory. I believe I understand the difference pretty well now, thanks to you. ありがとうございました

[@charlenemaetakezawa9840]

[@nancyrefki]

Miku! Seriously wow!!! Totally nailed the voice of shop keepers :-) and Japanese ads too!! This grammar bit was/is difficult but I had no idea before watching about the difference! I was using たらmostly and I must have confused so many people.Thank you for your patience in explaining it brilliantly!

[@sourpatcn3620]

[@junart7502]

Wow i learn a lot today! Thanks Miku! Its helpfull! ありがとございます

[@momoching]

please make a video about 「えば」and 「なら」.. i've watched a lot of videos about that topic but it is still unclear to me.. i've read explanations online too, but maybe you can explain it better.. your videos are always very easy to understand because of the dialogues that you make that shows the usage of the bunkei.. ありがとうございます。

[@SakanaKuKuRu]

The "purposefully incorrect" Nihon intonation makes the Italian impression better

I could say that your videos are helpful and I just subscribed to your channel but you speak a little faster.Especially when you give examples of Japanese sentences. Thank you.

[@theRealtensigh]

She is very skilled at understanding what native English speakers miss when learning Japanese.

[@mikmik5696]

ミク先生、ありがとう❤️

[@Maryanna__]

What i understood: Both are conditions. たら= If (verb) happens, then will (verb). 君が歌うたら、僕を聞く。 If you sing, then i'll listen. なら= Is kind of similar, But "reverse the roles". Like: If I do (this), I'll do (that). ケームをするなら、キャラクターを取得する。 If (hidden subject) play this game, (they) will get the character.
