So the reason "Jesus Christ" in Japanese is "Yesu Kurisuto" is because Christianity/Catholicism came to Japan through the Portuguese, so in Japan they use the Portuguese pronunciation rather than the English (Jesu Christo).

Actually the spelling is "Jesus Cristo"

[@jasonlam8979]

I love joey switching languages. Any person who speaks more than 1 language probably has experienced this, it might seem pretentious to other people, but it's just a bug in brain and whenever there is an environment with 2 languages you know are mingled (language classes for example) you keep speaking with the wrong language to people, completely subconsciously.

[@alecfongy3175]

Joey carries them so hard through japan lol

[@Eri-vi8je]

8:00 for those who learn Japanese I need to say that Joey’s explanation of keigo is a bit wrong. We don’t really change the verb of a sentence depending on who exactly we’re talking to - to both the emperor and a boss we say these nuts omeshiagari kudasai (お召し上がりください). Also, I’d say otabe kudasai (お食べください) is grammatically correct but unnatural, I personally have never said it unless ironically and definitely not to my boss. So basically, while teineigo (丁寧語) is simply a polite way of saying stuff, kenjogo (謙譲語) and sonkeigo (尊敬語) convey respect for sb in particular. The difference between these two lies in who’s the subject of a sentence - ‘I’ the speaker or someone like the emperor/boss. To say ‘I read your email’ to a boss respectfully is to speak kenjogo, and the verb is gonna be 拝読する (ーした in the past tense). ‘Kenjo’ means modesty in Japanese, so by using the verb I’m lowering my position and therefore showing respect. Whereas if I’m just a third person saying ‘the boss read someone’s email’ (with the emphasis on respect for the boss), I use a ‘sonkeigo’ verb お読みになる (-なった). I know it’s fucking complicated!

[@void_sum]

I imagine Joey knows how to use keigo correctly, but for some reason when he's explaining some concepts to an audience he goes all over the place, like he's trying super hard to make people think "wow, Japanese is such a whacky weird language!" lol. If you want a lot more examples of this just look up his "Japanese class" stream (I think someone reuploaded it on KZbin), Joey just jumps from one thing to the next, and to the next, making things seem way worse than they actually are.

[@prezentoappr1171]

​@@m_tmt_monyomi yes kunyomi is from Japan, there's also Sanskrit word by Chinese pronunciation cuz it was transmitted thru china at the time it was still middle Chinese

[@ember_neusch]

Killua definitely got the drip! He had so many different outfits. And in One Piece they change their clothes quite a lot. Every arc Luffy has a new shirt or something

[@gigitrix]

Joey always has drip but it looks natural whereas Connor is variably dripped and drip-conspicuous distorting the masses' opinion thanks for listening to my ted talk

Man, in such a short period of time I've become a huge fan of the Afterdark series. This is one of the best pieces of content I have consumed in the whole year!

N1 will have a lot of questions that FEEL really hard even for a native speaker, but because the passing mark is 55% I doubt any high school educated native speaker would have a hard time scraping by. You only need to do a little better than narrowing each question down to a 50/50. Coincidentally, this 55% passing mark is also why the test is kind of worthless as a language measure (it encourages memorizing a wide net of information rather than focusing on proficiency and fluency) and the Japanese government is (slowly) trying to reform testing to be more in line with European language testing standards... but the JLPT is the best that companies have so an N2 or N1 is still really useful if you're applying for visa work.

[@RyuKatolikeseaweed]

It tests a lot of things a native wouldn't learn. I'm Japanese and I wouldn't know the differences between different types of keigo, I just kinda do it by instinct/what I know to be used in each scenario. I don't know what category of keigo I'm using; you never have to learn that in school. Most people learn it through family/on the job. The other stuff on the test should be easy for a native though, so a middle/high schooler should pass with no issues.

[@RyuKatolikeseaweed]

Also no one would ever say お食べください. I've never heard that in my entire life and so I laughed when Joey said it.

[@TheJSStraussMr]

But then why is it that the passing rates for N1 are still fairly low? Genuine question. They are well below 50% and usually around the 30% mark. If you compare it to the Cambridge English C2 Proficiency test for example, that one has a passing rate above 70%. Sources: Wikipedia 'JLPT' Google 'cambridge english test passing rates' (I can't give links because KZbin will delete my comment.)

[@illiiilli24601]

Technically it's 55%, but the weighting of each question is scaled weirdly iirc

[@RyuKatolikeseaweed]

​@@TheJSStraussMr It's just because it's hard. I'm Japanese and I just took a practice quiz just now, and I got a few wrong. It uses some words that you never see in daily life/books, which is annoying.

[@deedee_dee]

Yo shoutout to Mudan for the hilarious intro! I was drinking water while watching and snorted it right outta my nostrils as soon as I saw Garnt's kanji for house 😂😂 It hurts so much but worth it darn it 😭

[@lordoftheheavymetal]

Joey was such a cool teacher this stream. I wanna learn more from him

[@PlatinumPPG1]

ok just started the Kanji quiz section and I immediately feel so much better about my Japanese

[@ashlamovich6395]

Ah yes, time to show off my Kanji knowledge despite never learning Japanese.

Wait is it "despite never learning Japanese" or "despite never having learned Japanese"? English is confusing.

@@eonasep it might sound better, but 2 is clearer

[@donncamulos6191]

Fun fact related to the whole "Jesus" pronunciation thing. The name "Jesus" actually has the same root as the name "Joshua", this being the Hebrew name "Yeshua / Y'shua". The reason we have these two different names, is that "Jesus" went from Hebrew through Greek and Latin and into English; whereas "Joshua" had a more direct path.

[@MominKhan-qr6zd]

This was such a fun stream! Playing along with the boys helped me test my Japanese knowledge as well :)

[@keksitzee1094]

43:23 To follow up on Connor's comment: As someone who has learned to write, stroke order is something that 1. differs depending on whether you've received a Chinese or Japanese education. Their orders slightly differ. 2. even native Chinese peeps sometimes disagree on minute details in stroke order: I have no doubt this partially results from #1 Of course, learning the stroke order to be *mostly correct will make you look normal than being fully rogue with it. Learning to write is endeavour nontheless.

[@digitalbooklett9357]

When it comes to anime character drip, I always think of Yu Yu Hakusho and Ranma 1/2, and even Sailor Moon (especially the manga) have all these fits that are just so perfect for the pre-bleach era of anime fashion, and they definitely kept up with mulitple closets worth of casual wear throughout their runs, that deserves RESPECT.

[@conanbdetective]

The way Joey wrote 女 follows a generally accepted principle of writing in Japanese: left to right, top to bottom. It didn't come from a place of "I prefer this". Rather it came from following principles. For people interested in calligraphy, following the stroke order the way Joey explained (く then / then ー) allows for a fluid brush flourish. Otherwise, it's going to be a disjointed stroke (the way Joey originally wrote it in).

[@dayko7114]

I think doing this once every six months or once a year would be cool to see how much they improve.

[@Mikuroko69]

"ふ looks like a guy's about to start running." The way I was taught back when I was learning Japanese was that ふ(Fu) was shaped like a volcano and smokey at the top. Hense the pronounciation "Fu" for Mount "Fu"ji

[@emmi1995]

Watching this while doing my Japanese Homework - while translating a text about illiteracy from Japanese to my mother tongue I always found myself stopping and writing the stuff down Joey asked, it was a lotta fun tbh :) And the guys did greatly

The kanji for woman 女 is so easy for me, my teacher always taught me to remember it as kunoichi the female ninja, hira ku く then kata no ノ then kanji ichi 一 they make the three strokes in the exact order too. Never forgot. Edit - I didn't watch that far, didnt realise Joey mentioned it lol.
