I thorough that she was going to say: "If you go to Japan, and you make a lot of friends, I would say, I'm surprised!" :D

[@zaynabhamila]

hahahh i thought that too :v

[@HERObyPROXY]

And you'd respond with "Hidoi"

[@JapanSocietyNYC]

Kanashii means more of "sad" but Setsunai means "sad and painful."

[@JapanSocietyNYC]

you can use ureshii and kanashii to describe your feelings, they are exclusive, and they have clear definitions. you can say "ureshii" to refer that "I am happy." or kanashii for "I am sad". wakuwaku suru is more like saying "I'm excited/ I can't calm down/ I've been blown away". dokidoki suru is like saying "I'm a bit nervous and excited/ my heart beats fast" Both kinds of expressions are descriptive words for your feelings, you need to choose the right one according to the context. :)

I love how you're videos are so simple, not like other videos where it's just so long, going in one ear and out the other. Arigatou gozaimasu!

[@alien_god4354]

[@ismaelruiz2412]

[@palestineDreaming]

I love you guys!!! I'm just ureshii watching your videos keep it up

[@smileymushroom123]

There are kanji for these words too! 嬉しい - うれしい - ureshii - happy 悲しい - かなしい - kanashii - sad 酷い - ひどい - hidoi - how awful Oh yeah, びっくり - bikkuri can also be written in katakana ビックリ... so yeah happy learning!

[@comforttaco7539]

Thank you

[@Suju6ddbest]

Awesome! Daily lessons please!

[@JapanSocietyNYC]

In Japanese, when the speaker says"kanashi" or "sukidesu", it already means that "I am sad"or "I like __".

[@teklacukierek]

Think of it like that: when people speak a language, e.g. english they don't really make huuuge pauses between words. The wods kind of flow together into one long whateveryouaresaying. A speaker of english is able to tell what the separate words are. Thats where a lot of foreign people have problems. They cannot separate the words out and thats why they sometimes need you to go slower. Its the same as that, but with writing

[@djordjemarjanovic1104]

thank you very much!!!

[@TheAlucardo]

thanks for the teaching!!! is so very helpfull, arigatou gozaimasu!!

[@Lu11abySweet]

Thank you for the lesson^-^

[@JapanSocietyNYC]

@Xtil For this series, we use "Romaji" (using english letters to spell out the Japanese words). It's simply so people who are not familiar with Hiragana, Katakana or Kanji can understand and learn. You won't encounter it very much in Japan, so it would be recommended to at least learn hiragana and katakana

[@HritikLadia_is_the_best]

konomi is avery good teacher

[@foxnad]

konomi san--- you teach very well,i understand clearly,, yokatta ne..! kawaei ne onetsang... arigatoo gosaimasu..

[@jamiepeterson386]

うれしい！

[@hexghoul]

You should teach Hiragana! That's what's really helpful!

[@dripepper]

Hiragana! Thanks!

[@JapanSocietyNYC]

@Kingofprinces85 omoshiroi can mean fun, interesting, amusing. It has a variety of meanings depending on the context

[@user-vs4vs7rw6p]

ماهو اسمك

[@JapanSocietyNYC]

@Kingofprinces85 たのしい(tanoshii) is fun,happy. Or you can use "おもしろい(omoshiroi)" which means, fun or funny. Good luck!

[@nooranilotun8730]

Konnichi wa, watashi no namae wa Nurhmaan desu.. o genki des ka?? Sensei, what do you meant by "jicai motashi mini", the words before you said ''matane''.. by the way, your lessons are very omoshiroi.. keep up.. Arigato

[@JapanSocietyNYC]

@Falcondick69 there really is no special way of knowing other than learning the words. Eventually it will become easier to recognize and there will also be punctuation along with kanji, hiragana and katakana, so separating the words will be simpler.

[@BenAptus]

I really enjoy these videos. Though the introduction music could be more... Japanese.

[@LenLovesBanana]

Very helpful lessons! My Question: When do you use 'waku waku (suru)' and when 'ureshii?' Because I think they have the same meaning...

[@marioman756]

@gitcommand うれしい is an adjective. I believe しあわせ is just a noun meaning more like "happiness". Hence the difference. I'm not sure on that, but it can't be too far off　

[@yashmehan3944]

there is a need for a tutorial on all types of partcles their uses, example sentences and quizzes

[@zarahenriquez2275]

im confused with contracting a sentence..is it ok not to use watashi when building a sentence. like this one.. i'm happy but you can say '' ureshii'' and i always noticed that when building a sentence..it always add some words like "ni" "wo" "wa" or no.. what does it means... btw..i really love your videos..its very helpful.

[@JapanSocietyNYC]

"waku waku suru" and "doki doki suru" is the status of being, not very specific. "ureshii" and "kanashii" are adjectives, they are specific descriptive words.

[@candyqueenify]

びっくりした！！！

[@FormigaJRPG]

@THCBpigen9280 i was testing you! =) minikui i guess, or kawaikunai! ;P

[@raffybee951]

now I understand the title of the new ending theme for Detective Conan (Case Closed): Kanashii Hodo Kyou no Yuuhi Kirei Da Ne - Today's Sunset is Sadly Beautiful :)

[@JapanSocietyNYC]

Suru does not mean "I am". Suru can be understand as "to do"

[@JapanSocietyNYC]

Yes, they both mean the same thing.

[@MOOP000]

"Jikai mo otanoshimi ni" means "Look forward to the next time" or, in this case, "Look forward to the next show". :)

[@brownman243]

by the gods!! ur good at this ಠ_ಠ

[@hwinfocell8639]

anata wa utsukushi de su!

[@Xtil]

Iv been wondering how common is it to use the english letters to spell Japanese words? Is it just so its easier for English speaking people to sound out the words and not have to learn the Japanese written language symbols?

[@FormigaJRPG]

@THCBpigen9280 Okama!!!!!!!!

[@SkyCrown614]

what did she said in the end? "chikai...."? Please tell me and let me know the meaning.

[@sidneysinger8602]

Ok so all emotions I can just express on their own? Like I can just say sabishi? Or is that concidered un polite?

[@sandc411]

but how do you say "I'm happy." just "ureshii" ?

[@Akashakata]

So what would the word for "feelings" be?

[@steveparker6857]

Can I say ureshii des? for "I am happy?" or is it redundant?

[@LesPaulerz]

can i use the phrase "kanashi suru" ? :>

[@JapanSocietyNYC]

Odoroku does not mean "excited". It means "to be surprised".

[@WalkingInUtrecht]

There would be no surprise party because I would never leave! XD

[@joseluisacosta3474]

when you show one word , give ejemplos for practice ,more sentences

[@Erobazai]

Ressun no okage de

[@MegaLolblog]

how do u say i love you in japanese

[@THCBpigen9280]

What is the opposed of Kawaii?

[@evitafaithleong1945]

Any one tested out the Rocelangue Method (search on google)? I've heard several awesome things about this popular learning language system.

[@fidanh-va8870]

What's the difference waku waku suru and ureshii ?

[@phoebe7827]

Fidan Huseynova waku waku suru is to express your happiness whereas ureshii literally means I'm happy. For example, yay expresses happiness but you aren't saying "I'm happy" That's what I understood anyway ^^;

[@kendallsilver2607]

What is the difference between "わくわくする" and "うれしい"? わかりません! (What is the difference between wakuwaku suru and ureshii? Wakarimasen!)

[@TheYvesL]

The first you're looking forward for something good to happen, the later you're simple content or happy.

[@lexalized6003]

Kєndαll Sιℓνєя waku waku suru is feeling excited, while ureshii is feeling happy. for example, your friend gave you a present, you could say "ureshii~" or "ureshii desu". another example for waku waku suru is when you're going to a live(concert), "ah! waku waku suru" Waku waku suru is when you're looking forward of something that will finally happen.

[@DominateroftheWorld]

Doesn't "Yokata" also mean happy?

[@Beautylover1507]

I thought that Waku Waku suru means i am happy.. Or can they both? Matane ;)

[@DominateroftheWorld]

wait what about "dai suki" then?

[@malc189]

you said hello my name is macey how are you,right?

[@eiffel65isawesome]

If you've watched much Japanese children's programming, you'd hear this sort of stuff in the shows.

[@Hitoshi1104905]

外国人にとっては「悲しい」も「カナシー」という単語に聞こえてしまうんでしょうね

[@fashionbabytumbler0]

Nope, I think it's Watashi wa, anata ga suki desu if I'm correct. I don't really know japanese that well! hope that helped! ;)

[@benitofinito]

ichiban

[@Angel47401]

[@cvburris1]

[@ImInsulin]

[@raito0512]

Ore wa ureshii desu,

[@dennisnarcizo2520]

[@lollypop00p]

Im kanashi!

[@rosalieh5363]

how do you say: Can we meet again?

[@Jade-mm1wl]

Anata au desu ka? (Can we meet?)

[@rosalieh5363]

Arigato

[@Jane_Doe0413]

can＝〜dekiru we＝watashitachi meet＝au again＝mata or futatabi 'watashitachi wa mata au koto ga dekimasuka?' 'mata aemasuka?'

[@brownman243]

learning the words in japanese is easy but learning the writing is god awful hard like learning words in chinese
