Waku Waku Japanese - Language Lesson 36: Morning Routine

[@JapanSocietyNYC]

They are written in different characters. It is like in English, you pronounce one and won the same but they mean differntly. Kami/神 as a God, Kami/紙 as a paper and Kami/髪 as hair.

[@longdv1]

Thanks you very much ! Waku waku is a very interesting and easy to learn ! Appoint Erin to the next lession !

[@JapanSocietyNYC]

Taberu is the verb "to eat". Tabemasu is the formal phrase "I/She/He am/is going to eat"

[@JapanSocietyNYC]

Thank you for your comment on Waku Waku video series but please check out our other video series called "Japanese Language Lesson" on KZbin. It should teach you how to count numbers and grammer as well. :)

[@mrqbboy]

sigh. i deleted a response. gohan means both rice and meal (in general). when you combine gohan with a time of the day (asa - morning, ban - evening) you get a meal eaten at that specific time (asagohan - breakfast, bangohan - dinner/supper).

[@YiingGurl]

Erin is so friendly and happy: )

[@JapanSocietyNYC]

That is correct when somebody asks you what you are doing now. But if you WANT to or ARE GOING TO or NEED to, then it will be different. For example, you'd say "Ha wo migakitai" means "I want to brush my teeth." if you want to say you BRUSHED your teeth, you'd say "Ha wo migaita."

[@JapanSocietyNYC]

Yes, correct.

[@JapanSocietyNYC]

She just summarized the phrases in this lesson. She said, "WakuWaku shite imasuka? Genki wo dashite. Itterasshai. Kiwotsuketeittekitene./わくわくしていますか？げんきをだして。いってらっしゃい。きをつけていってきてね/ワクワクしていますか？元気をだして。いってらっしゃい。気をつけて行ってきてね"

[@phillipedebrito8775]

So cute and friendly, very hepful expressions thanks dear. Arigato gozaimasu

[@chichavibe]

Whoaaa Erin-san wa totemo sugoi ne.. Atashi wa Indoneshia-jin desu, daigakusei desu. daigaku de nihon go no benkyoushite imasu. Erin-san is getting better with her gesture and over all, i love the way she explain the lesson to us. Domou arigatou gozaimasu ! :))

[@Jintsure]

OK!!!!!! ビデオが大好きです!!!!!!! With the colorful backgrounds it makes it fun and easy to remember the Japanese phrases. I'm so subscribing to you!!!!!!!

[@sarahtvjapan2768]

I loved this episode,hope to see more videos from wakuwaku,,ありがとうございました。

[@Toshimo]

very useful lesson. cheers

[@simbbam]

awesome! please make more

[@dikshamalhotra3372]

おはようございます☀

[@nietzschespupil2784]

hey there Erin-chan ! I was kinda wondering why you pronounce the particle を as "wo". I understand the common pronunciation is "o". As a matter of fact , you're the one 日本人 whom I have listened to using that pronunciation 😂

[@JapanSocietyNYC]

Kara means "from" as a preposision.

[@mrqbboy]

kami means both hair and god. they use different kanji though.

[@General2528342]

this videos have such cute backgrounds!!

[@helloitsme7919]

Great video! Lots of vocab! Your videos are coming on nicely and I think it's great how you are breaking down all the words and phrases like that! :) One question though, what does the 'wo' mean in the sentences such as 'kao wo arau' and 'youi wo suru' and many of the other ones used in the video? Would you be able to do a video about it or comment please? Arigatou gozaimasu! :D

[@malgorium]

i enjoy being taught by Erin-san ( ^ ^) i'll go practice now. mata ne!

[@nadyzzara]

Thanks for the lesson! I learned a lot!! ^^

[@cramsa]

Thanks for the videos! :D

[@JapaneseAmericanGuy]

Lol, I have since learned that from someone else. Had no idea.

[@JapanSocietyNYC]

There are some videos with Kanji in some of the latest videos. Please check them out :)

[@bluedancinghamster]

That's quite an informational overload compared to the -san, -kun lesson. :D I like it, though! Just got to listen to it a couple more times.

[@Natalight123]

thankss

[@anabibi8178]

VERY VERY useful!!!! THANKS ♥

[@minniestrand9732]

Can you make a video where you tell us what different clothing is named, different furniture, instruments or something like that? Can you teach us the Japanese numbers? Really love waku waku! :)

[@kataokasaga]

@helloitsme7919 "wo" is a particle than conect the subject with verbs in this case imply that you make something or do something (the verb) over the subject. When you use the verb: eat, drink, build, remember, do, make, etc. Always put the "wo " before the verb.

[@woodedairsoft]

JapanSociety, Have you thought about putting a teaching center in each state capital

[@beUtyista]

cute and so helpful :)

[@1000darkslayer]

You are so cute ~ That was a great lesson!

[@MultiLovedove123]

Im saving all these vids to my favorites.

[@abet5303]

So cute

[@LunaGray13]

I love these videos, and this was really helpful, i'd like to see a video on getting ready to go out, like how to say to pluck your eyebrows, shave your legs, and straighten or curl you hair? like maybey if you're getting ready for a date or going out Friday night? thx :)

[@DareChristopher]

All of the Japanese she uses is in the uploader's comments above.

[@CosmoLegenS]

I almost started to watch the video before I pressed the like button... =0

[@sdchegel]

What font must be downloaded or activated to get the Japanese spelling to quit being displayed as a series of boxes? (Please include any instructions needed) THANK YOU!!!

[@JapanSocietyNYC]

いいえ (iie) means "no". 　

[@GardenStateLove]

@AiDee it's really hard to exlpain in a few words and it's going to sound confusing (there's serveral cases for the pas tin japanese, depending on the end suffix of each verb) for example the verb "to eat" taberu, present indicative. ru. in the past indicative becomes ta->tabeta

[@echtalion]

ねるじかんですが、じゅうしょくをたべてながら、テレビでオリンピックをみます。

[@jackbarron3558]

Yeah I kind of agree, what I do is play the sentence over twice and than write it down

[@hiyorioh]

Yee

[@GengoNoTabi]

Cut and paste the information from the description box into a text file. Print that document and study it. Then watch the video again in a couple days. After that please visit Gengo No Tabi.

[@dmndxtc9]

waku waku has helped me. even though i am learning things on bussu.com, i am learning some things on here that they don't teach you.

[@KraitoKrombongus]

´love it

[@GardenStateLove]

I've been studying japanese for a while now and hopefully I can help you :) if you want to say "I brushed my teeth" you are talking about a completed action in the past, so you need to conjugate the verb :) in this case it would be "ha wo migaita".

[@Marklar3]

Can you make the kana at least as big as the romaji please? And include kanji with furigana?

[@phuphuoc1991]

おはようございます ^.^

[@sugish1575]

WC means Water Closet in Japan.

[@abetiu8893]

@ 2:24 toire e "iku" so "iku" means to urinate?

[@bass4ever777]

"Iku" means "to go" so in this case: I'm going to the toillet! That's basic japanese!

[@tolis947]

Doesn't かみ refer to "paper" as well as "god"? Also, what is the difference between めざまし and おきる ありがとうございます

[@GengoNoTabi]

JapanSocietyNYC, Yes Japan, and Gengo No Tabi are the best Japanese language inst. YT channels!!! ; )

[@Natalight123]

what is the difference between ikimashou and ikou? like let's say "let's go to the beach". in one of the videos at the beginning it is said "Umi ni ikou". is ikimashou just the formal way to say "let's go"?

[@JapanSocietyNYC]

Yes, you could. But it sounds a little odd, almost your Japanese has some dialect accent or something.

[@kaillekreatress]

How would you use ha wo migaku in a sentence? Could you just say ha wo migaku to say you brushed your teeth, or would you say watashi wa ha wo migaku? or something else?

[@kikokiko8906]

eireen so cute, i love u

[@UnhingedTatertot]

I wonder what her first language was!! She’s sooo good in both English and Japanese 0_O

[@jimbalaia]

In a cloth shop is it correct to say "kono fuku wo kite mo ii desu ka"?

[@k45g]

Gohan means rice or breakfast?

[@NinjaSurplus]

Could I also use ”うちをでる”? Or only use "ie wo deru"

[@MrBigmit37]

I wish this video would use include Kanji, instead of just Hirigana. I understand there is a list in the description that includes Kanji, but it's not the same.

[@DiiAM00NDx3]

I thought kami is a word for God and for paper.. But now its hair ,too! Wow..

[@nadia2883]

oki figured it but my romanji even bad not to mention normal japanese XD i do find it fun to learn though

[@aizen0315]

At sugasugashii asa desu ne- is the hiragana letters right? I think some hiraganas missing

[@Natalight123]

this may already have been asked but what is the meaning of kara?

[@crome1115]

lots of info in this video.. love it. I've always had a bit of an issue with understanding when to use the particle "wo" . Is it safe to say that "wo" is used when describing the subjects action? like in all these phrases when performing an action like brushing, stopping the clock or washing your face ? thanks again

[@JapanSocietyNYC]

Yes, that is correct. Using the examples you have given, you would say tokei wo tomeru (to stop the clock) and kao wo araru (to wash your face). Please feel free to ask more questions!

[@lorenkristo7073]

please can you translate what u ssay at the end of the lesson from the min 4:56.Arigato

[@smason]

...missed "あさ" in the first text bubble.

[@CarreAlbers]

Why do we say "Toire E iku" here, and "Eki NI iku" in another lesson, whats the difference?

[@zaicnuguid1366]

Carré Albers toeru e iku , the "means" direction , while eki NI iku, NI here meqns destination.theres nothing wrong about the two.

[@StrengthLegacy]

''e'' is theoretically for ''towards''

[@fromajuutoo9369]

I have a question. sometimes I see in bathroom doors the letters WC. what does that mean?

[@MCVarib]

i thought tabermasu meant to eat, but you put taberu, im confused :/

[@WANDERER0070]

I though that futon means only mattress,not blanket!

[@eimhh]

please teach us how to tell the difference between Names and Surnames in Japan. I know that there are Names that can be used as Surnames and vice versa and it confuses me :/

[@kurtismg]

what is the difference between WA and WO?

[@txfan100]

i akubi and nobou, ALOT.

[@tobimisa]

Okay ^w^

[@Rhymewizard100MagiMusic]

I'd give anything to go on date with the girl in this video. Power to JapanSociety!

[@Mandychan93]

Konomi, I miss you teaching…

[@jimbalaia]

Me too. Erinchan is doing a great job but I miss Konomi too.

[@jazonse7en]

why in your example, the word watch or clock is dokei.but i always found tokei instead.

[@crome1115]

actually she did say in the video "dokei" or tokei at 1:11. check it out.

[@nadia2883]

ie also means no i think

[@jason54953]

i was told in Japan お手洗い is childish and I should use トイレ? ありがとう！

[@aizen0315]

jason santana whats aigatou??

[@jason54953]

ありがとう = arigatou, means thank you

[@kawaiikandle]

Just pause the video and rewind 0_o

[@luxxart]

You need your default font (probably Arial on PC) to be an opentype (otf) version. I can send it to you, just send me a private message

[@czarina7581]

How to say,"I will brush my teeth." in Japanese?To brush your teeth is "Ha o migaku?"

[@Heimaku]

isnt kami means god as well ?

[@hahaeggplanet12]

Tarek AL-Jawi Yep, and it also means paper.

[@edonozomi9658]

むっちゃウケるw 日本語ってローマ字で書くとむっちゃ長いな(○´艸`)

[@tjhan143]

Please bring back Konomi...

[@hiyorioh]

No

[@kendraa_______9981]

[@saurabh8430]

[@braceletfanatic]

I think Kami-sama means God i'm not sure tho :P

[@tobimisa]

I thought Kami meant God.

[@たべたいですクッキーが]
