"hate" is a little bit strong and misleading there 😂

[@vka4598]

I have always been curious about these phrases, but this is the first time anyone clearly explained how to use these works. Thank you so much

[@sridergeorge]

Just from listening, I always assumed that なんか could be used to prolong spoken sentences, like English’s “um” or “er”. Glad for this clarification!!

[@StellarDivide]

Yeah, I thought the same lol, this helped a lot!

[@danielnosuke]

Me too. Not sure if it depends on the emotion or what.

[@reptiliannoizezz.413]

Wasn't that えっと or あの?

[@MarkHogan994]

It can be used that way too. You were not mistaken. Etymologically I'm not sure if it's a different なんか or simply a different usage of the same なんか, but this usage definitely does exist. It can be used as a sort of filler word, similar to "like" in English. Also remember that なんか can also be used as a colloquial form of なにか (something). Though in that case it is usually written with kanji (何か).

[@ilyaibrahimovic9842]

I do hear voice actors (outside their main recording work, in normal conversations) using it as a filler word, unless I'm misunderstanding them.

[@tensaijuusan4653]

Misa 先生 is without a doubt one of the best teachers of Japanese language out there whether on-line or on a University campus. I really appreciate how Misa states what is "spoken Japanese" and what is "formal/written Japanese", as many textbooks/ instructors often fail to make the distinction clearly. Another gem of a teacher I have come across while surfing the KZbin sites is- Noriko 先生 at 日本語の森。

[@DiogoVKersting]

Oh yeah, Italians would call our most of Brazilian pizzas a true "blasphemy"... The toppings are usually thick and with many ingredients, some of which would probably be considered "peculiar" outside of Brazil. My personal recommendation is Barbecue Pizza. It's not uncommon for pizza places here to have over 50 available toppings to choose from. That said, those pizzas are absolutely beloved over here.

[@SpawnedInTheHades]

I'm not sure Brazilian pizza toppings could possibly be worse than the abomination that is Swedish pizza. Bananas and peanuts on pizza is so unspeakably evil that there are no words in the English language to adequately describe it.

[@chicoti3]

Actually traditional Napolitan pizza is very heavy on toppings, way heavier than Brazilian pizza, so In a way I'd say ours (Brazilian) is closer to the original; and that's probably because of the millions of Italian imigrants living in Brazilian soil.

[@DiogoVKersting]

@@SpawnedInTheHades I don't think I've ever seen Peanuts pizza over here, but banana, strawberries and cherries are used quite often in "sweet pizza" (dessert-style pizza). One common "sweet pizza" that's might be considered "peculiar" is Ice-cream pizza (which is really tasty). It's nice to know that people are being creative with pizza all over the world!

[@DiogoVKersting]

@@chicoti3 Well, I guess it depends a bit on the pizza place. I've eaten in places that do an amazing "traditional italian pizza", but other places that go pretty wild on the toppings. I don't know, stuff like pizza topped with beef strogonoff and "shoestring potato" can get very thick for example.

[@jus.some.silly.little.guy.]

@Bites von der Dust (As an italian) I don't know brazilian pizza but I don't think that's true. There aren't many toppings in our pizza and we say "Perciò nun 'e cercate sti pizze complicate ca fanno male â sacca e 'o stommaco patì..." That means: "So don't go search For these complicated pizzas That hurt you wallet And make your stomach suffer..." Btw there are a lot of toppings but it's not like there are a lot of different things, a lot of the same topping so more tomato sauce and more mozzarella cheese than other pizzas

[@aimar2122]

So i've been using it wrong the whole time T.T I used to think 「なんか」is a softener and my mind translates it as "kinda" like if I want to say "that's kinda wrong" I say 「なんか違います」. And it was an emphasis all along 😭 forgive me my Japanese acquaintances!

[@tugsuumovies1999]

I think u do use なんか that way, its only this way when its used after a noun.

[@danielnosuke]

I use it that way too.

[@zeroimpact742]

That is one of correct ways of using なんか. 「なんか違います」means you cannot explain well on what and how it is wrong or different but still you want to say that. There is something wrong (or different).

[@TheRedLyon]

I have always equated it with how English uses "like" as an emphasizing connector in speech patterns. Your example could work as long as your delivery is consistent with the tone of the sentence. その答えなんか違う。Delivered flatly, thiis could be "That response is, like, wrong..." Maybe you were having a little argument or discussion about test answers. The nanka emphasizes it's the response that's wrong (as opposed to the person being wrong.). In this way it is sort of a softener. But if you were to shout this in a heated argument between boyfriend /girlfriend trying to clarify relationship status, it might be indicating this is not the answer someone wanted to hear.

[@aimar2122]

I see so i'm not completely wrong. I don't know why youtube is just notifying me now but thanks for the replies and clarifications, very much appreciated.

Hi Misa! I can’t express any more how much I and all of your viewers appreciate your lessons and give us an insight into the Japanese language like no other person or teacher here on KZbin! Thank you sooo much! I also wanted to ask you , or rather mention how I’ve noticed that a lot of the Japanese lessons you give (which are superb by the way thank you) are mostly based on examples rather than direct translations. So I wonder how difficult Japanese actually is and if Japanese people learn it this way too. Do Japanese people learn in this way too? Based on examples or is it something that is just known? I apologize for such a confusing comment. I clearly am fascinated and intrigued by your language. It would be a dream to learn it and clearly my list of questions is neverending . Thank you Misa sensei! ☺️
