[@DANGJOS]

I'm convinced that the longer a word or phrase is in Japanese, the more polite it is. If they want to be even more polite than before, they just add more letters lol

[@technic1285]

It's the thought that they're taking the extra time to say all of that, isn't it?

[@shary0]

I would be very grateful if you could give me the honor to consider the fact that it is probably the same with every other language. It's the same in every language, understand? Longer is generally more polite. Interrogative is generally more polite. Conditional is generally more polite. Negative is generally more polite. It's just a rule of thumb but it works in most languages.

[@Haegemon]

As in English isn't it? Is more polite to say "can you leave please" than "get out". But you're not wrong, the most unchanged pronunciation from the infinitive is the rudest. From miru or doku got miro and doke too be rude, and mite and doite to be friendly.

[@悪魔城下町]

It's the same in English. E.g., "Would you be so kind as to..." Casual speech is usually briefer. Formal speech is longer partly because it shows the actual physical/linguistic effort you're making to be polite to the listener.

[@悪魔城下町]

@@Haegemon I think it's also because each of the vowels in Japanese has a certain nuance or color. え is a strong, direct sound, even rough and masculine sometimes (like in the imperative or in 痛え! or じゃねぇ!). お is friendly, polite (e.g., before words, in mashou, or の ending particle), but can also be rough in the imperative case やめろ!, so it's the most complicated I think. あ means negative or past tense is coming, and so to me it often is the "sad vowel" in Japanese. い has a polite/soft sound, since it's used in masu form and other forms (like requests) to be polite. う is casual sound. There's a certain synesthesia to Japanese in my opinion. Kind of like Rimbaud's famous vowel poem. In English consonants can have similar connotations, like how words that mean "wet" or "dirty" often start with "sl" sound: slick, slip, slimy, and a word I'm not going to type. You get the idea. "Sl" is also used for things that seem to flow like liquid, such as "slim" or "slender."

[@nicjansen230]

raising your hand when a motorist stops while you try to cross the road is just waving as a thank you, like how you wave as a goodbye, though I see spread fingers more often in that context while I've never seen a 'thank you wave' with spread fingers

In Italy when we cross the road and a car stops we do that gesture with the hand too (not everyone but most do, I personally do), but it’s not because we want to stop the car, it’s actually a way to say “thanks” because the car stopped and let us cross. Thank you for the video. Very interesting as usual!

[@calebwright288]

みさ先生, can you teach us how to use suffixes in Japanese? Not the title ones like san, kun, chan, etc., but the ones added to the end of words to make it into a different form (such as 的 when it acts as an adjective ending). I don't really understand that aspect of Japanese grammar and I imagine you could make a killer video on it. Anyways, I loved the video today as always, and it already came in handy when I was reading some Japanese children's stories for practice reading and the なさい structure happened to be used some. Thanks a million for all your hard work; you're the best! :)

About the the hand thing in traffic ... It happens in Sweden too. It's basically throwing your hand up as a "wave" to signal a "thanks" if you're for example running to catch a tram, in which case you wouldn't have the time to bow. It also works well on bikes and in cars because you don't take your eyes off the road or let go of your steering. As long as you're not extending your hand towards the car they understand your gesture as appreciation rather than a command to stop.

[@danielhalfar9502]

Misaさん, thanks a lot for this video, we're studying Japanese with my friend and this explanation is quite helpful. :-) But you also mentioned the hand gesture people do in Czech Republic and we are both Czechs so I can explain it - the hand waving-like gesture can actually have two meanings, either "Thank you" when someone in a car let you cross a road, or other way round it can mean "I am sorry" when you accidentally block someone and you cannot talk to them, like when you are both in a car and you don't give a way to someone who you should. It's like the easiest and most understandable gesture you can use when you can't talk. Hope it helps and if you happen to be in Czech Republic, feel free to get in touch, but mainly enjoy it here. :-)

[@albertog5657]

It'll be easy for to remember to look "miru" because in spanish its "mirar" and "miro" is I look

15:30 I'm from France and yes, we also do it to thank the driver. And sometimes accidentally I shake my hand but it's really weird to do that because it is what we do when we know the person and we want to say "hi", so I'm really embarrassed.

[@liberator48]

Misa san, I saw a kabuki on youtube and the actor said お帰りなされてくださりませ to the other actor to ask him to leave, in the play. Maybe you can guess which play it was, one of the most famous I think. It stuck with me the way he said it because it's so much longer than just 帰ってください which has the same meaning, right? I was wondering if you could break it down and explain it so well as you do what each bit means? I mean it's very archaic Japanese I think since it was a kabuki, but still would be interesting to know!

[@chrisretro81]

You've raised a very good question (Sorry I am not Misa but it was interesting I hope she sees it), "nasai" comes from "為さる/nasaru"" which means "to do". The "お帰り" is the honorific ("お" prior to it) stem for return (home). "なされて" is the passive form, so in this case the character is referring to the other, almost in this case as "to do (return) "for" me". Much like "saretai (from "suru")" implies you want something to happen or indeed, "be done" to you. In this case they want someone to come home to them/for them. "くださりませ" is just an old way of saying Kudasai as you likely know. Hope that helped!

[@kettenfett]

the hand gesture when a car stops for you is a very european thing i guess. when i was a child i learrned that you have to seek eye contact with a driver who seems to be stopping for you for confirmation. the next step is usually a quick hand sign and/or small nod with the head.

How do news anchors sign off at midnight? On a side note, I never knew that gomen had kanji.

I've been watching WarioWare gameplay as exposure therapy (to conquer my fear of the game) and I noticed the game uses the rude imperative form a lot (e.g. よけろ！ うて！ おとすな！ etc.) so I was using it to learn verbs as well as facing my fears. Only downside is that it's mostly in hiragana but it's still quite useful. I have old Beatmania games in Japanese, but they use the polite -ます and -てください forms in their instructions. Just thought it'd be interesting to note.
