ONLY in Japanese だけ vs しか Differences(Common Mistake)┃JLPT N4&5

[@1980rlquinn]

I like to think of しか as "anything but," which helps me remember to use the negative. "I don't speak anything but Japanese."

[@Delord112]

That's the same I do in German. My teacher despaired by trying to explain why I have to negate it 😅

[@julesybooi8185]

very helpful. i'll remember this

[@1980rlquinn]

@ピーター It's in the video. You should probably give Misa the view as it helps her analytics. :)

[@1980rlquinn]

@ピーター 話せない：can't speak (from 話せる, potential form) 話さない：don't speak In context, I think both are okay.

[@lkj2727]

赤しかない。We have nothing but red. 赤だけない。We have everything but red.

[@ケンヤ10]

Misa-san, thank you so much for these N4/5 lessons. I'm learning Japanese at a language school in Tokyo, and it feels like the teachers just run through the grammar points without providing any proper explanations. I get lost a lot from what they teach as their only concern is to get us to take tests (JLPT or J-Test). But these videos make things much clearer for me. ありがとうございました！

[@folkejhn8257]

Same situation for me. The teachers at my school here in Tokyo are great but the classes are so packed with information I almost forget half of what has been taught. These videos are great for review of something we went over in class.

[@rickylosangels]

The particle "de" can mean "so" as well ? In the example Misa gave, she said "senkou wa ei-bungaku de, takusan hon yonda kedo..." and the translation is "I majored in english literature so I´ve read many books but..." minute 13.40. This DE can mean so ? I would say kara or node instead of just DE... can someone explain to me?

[@tilleaike5]

Not 100% sure, but I believe it's the te form (conjugated to で for a noun) to connect two clauses, which kind of has the meaning of "so" in this example.

[@rickylosangels]

@@tilleaike5 ahhh makes sense ! Thx

[@stevenattwood1076]

I honestly did not know that last nuance with しか and だけ with negative. I really like the way you discuss grammar points that are often not mentioned or mentioned well in textbooks or dictionaries. 本当にありがとうございました

There's an episode of 日本人の知らない日本語 that explains why シカ　is used for ignore. It's from Hanafuda playing cards where the deer card is turning away and ignoring you. 🦌

Your explanations are really very clear especially about grammar .It is most useful for those people who really want to learn Japanese in detail like me.

[@AZRAEL_FURY]

Can I just stop and compliment on how BOSS you are on how well you explain Japanese sentences with just the different colors and highlights you use! Thank you so much girl! You're amazing! 😘

[@nyandzette]

I didn't know I was needing japanese puns in my life, but seeing Misa so happy about them make my day ! (And imporved my level in japanese, I couldn't dream of a better video) Thank you !

Finally!! Best video about the difference between しか and だけ, plus the correct usages!! Thank you Misa-sensei 💯

[@LindaGraceMK]

Thanks!

[@language_road_8_ro]

It's a very useful video. An explanation about だけ starts at 1:47

[@leeshawn260]

ありがとうございます、I very much like the way you tell the subtle differences between these two words.

[@theophonchana5025]

シカト/しかと(する) = 無視(する)

[@idrissamorehouse5776]

You R the supreme teacher!! Your explanation of the english use of ‘nothing but’ is soooo impressive and exact - most native english speakers wouldnt even be able to explain that ?!?! -Su Goy Na!!

[@rigel5550]

Después de pensar bastante rato una forma de asimilar el shika en español, encontré una forma para asociarlo. Si podemos leer 日本語だけ話せます como "Sólo puedo hablar japonés" Podemos leer 日本語しか話せません como "No puedo hablar más que japonés" Espero que les sirva mi perspectiva xd

[@LindaGraceMK]

Misa sensei!!! I hope you will not stop making these videos! I am learning o lot from the way you teach!

[@kayteeflick]

Your hair is magical!

[@2yoyoyo1Unplugged]

[@vasilikonstan]

My favorite Japanese language KZbin creator ❤

[@Andrew-j5r3i]

That was an amazing video! If anyone is still hung up on だけ vs しか for negation, I've heard another KZbinr explain しか as 'more than.' and だけ as 'only/just.' So, 私しか手を挙げなかった。 More than me didn't raise hands. => Only I raised my hand 私だけ手を挙げなかった。 Only I didn't raise (my) hand(s) I think it helps to think of it this way to explain why しか is always paired with a negative verb to mean 'only'. In English: I went to 7-11 and there was NOT more than onigiri => I went to 7-11 and there was only onigiri In Japanese: セブンイレブンに行ったけど、おにぎりしかなかった。 vs I went to 7-11 and there only wasn't onigiri => they have everything but onigiri セブンイレブンに行ったけ、どおにぎりだけなかった。 Hopefully this helps someone!

[@rickylosangels]

The particle "de" can mean "so" as well ? In the example Misa gave, she said "senkou wa ei-bungaku de, takusan hon yonda kedo..." and the translation is "I majored in english literature so I´ve read many books but..." minute 13.40.

みさ先生、ありがとうございます。 On an unrelated note, I wanted to mention your hair is gorgeous ✨

[@chichirinuriko20]

I honestly haven't watch much of your videos since the pandemic and I've been hanging out in the animals groups because my Misa has been sick. I'm glad that you are doing pretty good Misa and making videos. Ok back to watching these.

[@vanessameow1902]

I guess you can also think of しか~ない as Except ~dont. Like taking the towel example, タオルしか持ってこないで下さい。 Except Towel, dont bring anything(else). Thinking of しか in this way also makes it easier to remember the negative nuance it implies since in English the above sentence does convey the commanding sense that 先生 mentioned. This also works with the double negative case of しか which somehow gives off the nuance that the speaker thinks its something "positive". Like in the example: 部長しか嫌いじゃない. Except my manager, I hate nobody(else). And 絵しか下手じゃない. Except drawing, she is not bad at anything(else). (And thats impressive!) Also at 18:00 I feel like a more apt translation would be "I speak Spanish only with my Family." Since the focus is that you speak spanish only with your family members, no one else while the other translation " I speak only spanish with my family" puts more emphasis on the fact that with my family members I speak only spanish, no other language.

[@waldfee2283]

Misa-sensei, there's an English similarity of words used to describe the difference between which words to use in a given situation. Denotative: the dictionary definition of a word Connotative: an idea or feeling that a word invokes in addition to its literal or primary meaning

[@ilyaibrahimovic9842]

Romance languages have a similar construction to しか. For example, the park example might go "Non possono entrare senza pagare che bambini" (Italian) or "Ne peuvent entrer sans payer que les enfants" (French, but feels really unnatural partly because the French usually don't reverse subject and verb outside questions). The strictest translation of the "non...che / ne...que" construction in English is an affirmative followed by "but" (ex: "life is but a dream," a line from "Row, row, row your boat") and uncommonly used today, especially in spoken English. The most common exception is probably "all but" (ex: "all but one," "he has all but given up").
