[@lmclrain]

Great video!

[@PathToJapanese]

Thank you.😊 I'm glad to hear the compliment　🌈.

[@Recess4ever]

Nice bonus lesson at the end. 👍

[@PathToJapanese]

Thank you very much🌈🌈🌈 I will try this in the future😆

[@4What_It_Is]

Please can I request for a favour. Can you add Romaji to to bonus lesson in future. I'm still at beginner level and have not learnt writing Japanese. 🙏

[@Sir_momo]

Adding more text might clutter the screen. Is there a option on KZbin to automatically convert the caption to romaji.

[@Noinform10]

I agree. adding more text may be too much on the screen.

[@Noinform10]

Select the "show transcript" option in the description. then copy and paste transcript into Google translate, and you will get both Hiragana and Romaji translations. It might also be better to learn Japanese this way, by both listening and reading the translated transcript at same time.

I love the story. I learnt something new that i can look more into, Jizo. ❤

[@Noinform10]

I also liked the story. We also have few childhood stories/tales about kindness; 1. The Collared Crow, 2. the Hunter and the Antelope, 3. Selekana and the river God.

[@Noinform10]

We learn this values as kids but it tends to be lost as we grow up.

[@Runningfre]

I live in country with bad history and is still developing. There's alot of poverty and high unemployment rates. Which leads to high crime which makes people defensive. Values like kindness and respect are practiced by people/adults but for alot of people/families that are struggling there is no space for these values when don't have food or water. It's tough.

[@4What_It_Is]

@@Runningfre Thats fair. I'm originally from England and is enough wealth, but people are always angry and values like politeness and respective are things of the past. maybe more to it.

[@PathToJapanese]

Ojizo-san, you are cute, aren't you?😆 I love it too.🩷🩷🩷

[@Sir_momo]

I've seen these small statues when i was in Japan, on walking trails. I was told it was for protection but never knew there was a story/tale about it. thanks.

[@PathToJapanese]

Jizo has always been everyone's favorite god.✨✨✨

[@Runningfre]

​@@PathToJapanese Amazon has jizo monk statues can buy. I have few I'm my garden. They so small and cute. ❤

[@4What_It_Is]

I just searched it now on Amazon. Soo cute. I may have to get a few

[@littlejimmycratner]

Me too

[@Noinform10]

I found the part about how Jizo statues are often found near roads and travel routes really interesting. It’s such a thoughtful way to ensure protection for travelers

[@littlejimmycratner]

Just started watching Spy x Family, and I can't get over how well they blend comedy, action, and heartwarming moments. Anya's expressions are priceless, and the family dynamic is just great. Anyone else a fan?

[@Noinform10]

Anya is seriously the star of the show!

[@Noinform10]

@PathToJapanese, Do you have any anime or show recommendations?

[@littlejimmycratner]

The episode where Anya’s attempts at ‘helping’ Loid with his mission were hilarious. She’s always trying to do the right thing in the funniest ways

[@Runningfre]

If you liked Spy x Family, you should check out The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. It’s hilarious. About a psychic who just wants a normal life, but keeps getting dragged into the most ridiculous situations

[@Recess4ever]

For something with a bit of everything, you might like Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. My Hero Academia, has more action but also some really heartwarming moments and a great mix of humor

[@littlejimmycratner]

I've just seen NHK video about cooling shelters. The temperatures are very high this summer in Japan. Take care.

[@Sir_momo]

The temps are as high as 41C. That's crazy hot. 🔥

[@Sir_momo]

And heat wave is considered a natural disasters in Japan. It's no joke .

[@PathToJapanese]

You know it well！ That's what I'm talking about✨ I go for walks early in the morning and in the evening.💕

[@Noinform10]

I remember you mention the early 6am walks, in prevoius video/comments. Is this extreme heat all over Japan or more in Tokyo?

[@Sir_momo]

hokkaido is cold. the north-west of Japan is cooler.

[@Recess4ever]

Jizo statues are so fascinating! I’ve always wondered why they are dressed in red bibs and hats. Can anyone explain the significance?

[@Sir_momo]

The red clothing represents protection and is often used to ward off evil spirits.

[@Recess4ever]

The statues are so small and humble, yet they seem to carry so much meaning. It’s touching how people place offerings like flowers next to them.

[@Recess4ever]

I’m curious about the rituals or prayers associated with Jizo. Are there specific practices people follow

[@Sir_momo]

Often pray asking for Jizo’s protection, especially for children and travelers. A common practice is offering small stones at Jizo statues to symbolize the burden of grief that Jizo helps to carry

[@PathToJapanese]

Ojizo-san is considered a Buddhist image with a deep connection to children, including children who died at an early age and water children.✨ The red front robe and hat represent the attire of a child itself. The color red represents the sun and is considered the color of the origin of life. It is also believed to serve as a landmark for children so that they can go to the afterlife without getting lost. In many communities, it is customary for local people to regularly replace the Jizo's headdress or hat with a new one. This is an act of respect for the Jizo and an expression of their feelings for the children who have passed away.😆

[@Sir_momo]

@PathToJapanese Have you thought about collaborating with other Japanese language YT creators? It would be great to practice real conversations while exploring new locations/places/events. It could be a fun way to learn from each other and share different perspectives on language learning.

[@Noinform10]

Watching creators interact would be super entertaining and educational. It would definitely make the learning process feel more relatable. Collaborations always bring out new energy. No pressure though, i love the type of videos you currently create which are educational and relaxing to listen to.

[@4What_It_Is]

I love this idea. Collaborations always make videos more dynamic. Plus, im learning Japanese for trip im planning next year, and learning some common phrases to order food, greeting people, shopping at the store.... would be helpful.

[@Noinform10]

@@4What_It_Is There is video you can start with on this channel, "I went to a summer festival". More of a vloggy type of video.

[@PathToJapanese]

Collaboration... I hope we can do it someday!😆 I'll do my best to make it happen.💪💪💪

[@Runningfre]

Great video.

[@Runningfre]

I posted a question on previous video but is was late last night also you may not have seen it. I repeated it below; I need some help. I learnt that Rice is Gohan, but today i was told kome and raisu are also Japanese words for rice. 1. whats the difference and do i have to learn all 3 words 2. why are there so many words for the same item.

[@Runningfre]

another question i have is; You used the word "tatoeba" in the last video to mean "for example". But "nado" is another word i have seen used in other YT videos. Are the words the same?

[@Runningfre]

Last question, which was from another subscriber, The word gohan means rice. But the word ta means rice field. Is there a reason why there is no relationship between rice and rice field in Japanese.

[@Runningfre]

Sorry for all the questions but I'm trying to understand the basics well as I progress with learning Japanese. Your assistance will be much appreciated.

[@PathToJapanese]

Thank you for your question.😊 1: “Gohan” is the state in which the rice is ready to eat (cooked with water). 「 Rice」is the hard state before cooking, which does not contain water. Okome” has an ‘o’ to express ‘kome’ politely. ”Okome” and ‘kome’ are the same. Rice” is the English word ” rice. It is used when rice is used in Western menus. Examples: curry rice, omelet rice, Do you want a hamburger set with bread or rice? 2: In Japanese culture, multiple words with the same meaning are sometimes used to express subtle nuances and emotions.🌺

[@4What_It_Is]

Hi. Im new here. A lesson on basic greetings in Japanese would be super helpful! I’m confused about when to use 'Ohayou gozaimasu' versus just 'Ohayou.' Is there a difference?

[@Runningfre]

Ohayou is a casual way to say 'Good morning' and Ohayou gozaimasu is more formal like at work. I think?

[@4What_It_Is]

Would that be same for arigatou and arigatou gozaimasu. can i use this rule in all cases

[@Runningfre]

Im not sure. @PathToJapanese will be able to help.

[@4What_It_Is]

Last question, I noticed in few YT video mentioned 'desu' a lot, but I’m not sure what it means or when to use it. Can someone explain?

[@4What_It_Is]

Im planning a trip to Japan early next year and trying to learn some Japanese in prep.

Permisi, izinkan saya bertanya. Apakah anda tahu dimana tempat untuk menemukan merchandise anime dengan mudah? Suatu hari nanti jika saya sudah sampai Jepang saya ingin membeli 1 paket berisikan blue ray Lycoris Recoil beserta stikernya, saya penggemar berat anime Lycoris Terimakasih 🙇🏽‍♂️

[@PathToJapanese]

Benar.😊 Akihabara di Tokyo dianggap sebagai tempat suci untuk anime. Tempat ini juga terkenal dengan toko bernama Animate. Animate juga memiliki layanan 【アニメイト通販】🤗

[@MrHan62]

@@PathToJapanese hait, arigatou 🙇🏽‍♂️

[@4What_It_Is]

@PathToJapanese. At the begining of the video, you say mina-san. So there is mina (informal), and mina-san (formal). but i see on google there is also mina-sama. When do you use mina-sama?

[@Noinform10]

I have a similar question. I see the word san is used after a persons name. but then in other cases i see the word chan. I thought that chan was for children and san for adults. but then i recently seen musician (adults) with the word chan after thier names. Please help.

[@PathToJapanese]

Thank you for your question! The word “everyone” is casual. Gentlemen” is a polite way to say it. In English, “minasan” is like “everyone” and “ minasama” is like “ladies and gentlemen”.😊😊😊

[@Noinform10]

thanks. this helped alot.
