Waku Waku Japanese - Language Lesson 37: Feeling Sick

[@chichavibe]

Erin-san no Eigo wa sugoi desu ne.. You're helping lots of people that learn Japanese. Now i'm on my first semester, taking Japanese Literature.

[@fikujez]

Great idea with summing up all the vocab pieces from the lesson at the end! Waku Waku gets better and better!

[@seonheexo]

エリンさんはきれいです ！！and I absolutely love your waku waku lessons ! ありがとう ございます ！

[@BenAptus]

I enjoyed this lesson. Erin in other lessons was a bit "overbearing" but this is much more tame and easy to learn.

[@JapanSocietyNYC]

The word for headache itself is, "Zutsuu" (ずつう／頭痛) So if you were to say, I had a headache yesterday, you would say, "Kinou Zutsuu de..." The most correct way to say this would probably be, "Kinou Zutsuu ga shite..." or "Kinou Zutsuu ni inamarete shimatte..." But, "Kinou Zutsuu de" would suffice.

[@JapanSocietyNYC]

That's a huge compliment, arigatou gozaimasu!

[@cramsa]

Thank you very much for the videos, I find them very helpful :D

[@JapanSocietyNYC]

Okarada ni kiwotsukete kudasai! Get well soon!

[@burninsage22]

EXCELLENT ! Great teacher!!! As a medical professional I would love more videos on this topic please. (i.e. how to say diarrhea, itchy, blood, veins, injection, medicine etc. etc.:) I know basic body parts.

[@LIonGraphiK]

ありがとう先生、大変よくできました！日本語を勉強しています、日本語葉少し話せます：）日本語がわけります。

[@Languagelearner1199]

Hey! I'm not Japanese but I can speak Japanese okay but the difference between だ (da)and です（desu) is that です is the polite counterpart of だ

[@longdv1]

I love Waku Waku so much ! Thanks Japanese Society !

[@JapanSocietyNYC]

Yes! Japan Society offers language classes for all levels. Check out our website or Google "Japan Society Language Center". (KZbin is not letting us post links in the comments.)

[@gmvsea]

thank you ありがとうございます ♥

[@witri9]

Love it!

[@vuilkreng]

That's quite funny, I am sick right now :P

[@jasonsweet228]

I like the videos, I was beginning to learn Tuesday starting with video 1. I'm learning quickly but some of the videos go too fast and I can not understand them fully. Can you make your videos like the first sensei who kept repeating the phrases and words? I like to practice and speak each word many times until I can say them without thinking.

[@JapanSocietyNYC]

私は頭が痛いです。 Usually in Japanese, the subject, Watashi, is omitted from the sentence if it could be obviously inferred that one is talking about oneself.

[@FaraguAzai]

This will come in handy :)

[@pernanjp]

Wow, this is ironic for me to find. Just yesterday, my brother and I watched a movie in which an American man was in Japan, and he needed a taxi, so he asked a Japanese lady whom he was talking to on the phone, how to ask someone to call a taxi for him...

[@JapanSocietyNYC]

that's right too! :)

[@simondemaria24]

To Erin san, if you ever read this, You are amazing at your job and don't let views, reviews, ratings, and negative comments ever deter you. Today's society doesn't even accept perfect as good enough, so you can never win the haters. However I'm 100% sure you will be successful in life! If not with money then definitely with friends, family and life! Never for one second doubt your talent and ability. Ganbatte Erin san!

[@Languagelearner1199]

Thank you for telling me! ^^

[@JapanSocietyNYC]

yonde kudasai 読んでください means "please read". yonde kudasai 呼んでください means "please call". The characters are different.

[@OhYouMeanMe1]

thank you :D

[@OhYouMeanMe1]

Hm... I thought 'yonde kudasai' meant 'read, please', but here it says 'call, please'. Help me out?

[@RoyalAnarchist]

エリンの元気は音楽です。:)

[@kataokasaga]

i thought when you say to somebody "get well soon" you say o-daiji ni

[@momonsteru]

Would it still mean the same if "desu" is dropped?

[@cinnamorollrabbit]

Haha same! XD so good timing!

[@suzichu42]

There's CVS in Nippon? o.o

[@kataokasaga]

and for headache yoy just could say "atama ga itai" right? Or am i wrong?

[@huyhoangpro]

Byouin wa doko desuka. ka = ? desu = to be(am,is,are). I'm Hoang = Watashi wa Hoang desu. You can't drop "desu" as you can't drop "am".

[@alden009]

Anyway, kimochi warui desu = im having a bad feeling.

[@gnice933]

is it just my computer or is the sound on here bad?

[@YamanoRyuu]

That isnt completly right, in informal japanese (like when you are in pain) .You just say atama ga itai. Also the informal desu is Da, and you can ask adding "ka" or "noka" without the desu or da.

[@LesPaulerz]

is this the last lesson for erin?

[@kendraa_______9981]

I thought 読んで was for reading. 面白い

[@korey2996]

読んで means reading instead say 電話して. They Made a Huge Typo here. You would want to say きゅうきゅうしゃを電話して下さい.

[@kendraa_______9981]

How confusing. I thought she was a native speaker. 電話して　is what I would've guessed, too..

[@Marutsero]

Korey, you should stop giving advices about Japanese to another people. Erin is native, and she used it correctly. So, you would not want to say 救急車を電話してください. *を電話する is not Japanese! Plus, there is no 読んで in the whole video. Have no idea where did Kendra get that from. 救急車を呼んで（よんで）ください - is correct

[@korey2996]

Kendra Carlson​​ Marutsero​​ 電話する Is a する verb. It means (to call.) 呼ぶ this verb means (To Call) So... They are both used frequently. And を電話する is Japanese. Ask any native speaker about this and 100% That this is used in Japan. And How long have you been studying Japanese? I would like to know.

[@Marutsero]

Korey Wehner They are both used frequently, okay - so what???! This has nothing to do with frequency! 電話する is never used in situation described in the video. I don`t need to ask native speaker, because you just can`t use を in front of 電話する - that is not JAPANESE ＋ it makes no sense!!! （Nounを電話で案内する is possible) Long enough to know that you can`t speak it!

[@notyouraveragegamer130]

nevah too sick to not watch waku waku

[@Languagelearner1199]

Hm well that what it said in my book :P

[@e55]

Erin?

[@Fenix333]

your computer probably...

[@minhthuy4763]

あたまがいたいです。破棄です。気持ち悪いです。びょインド湖ですか。いゆいゆきょくわどこですか。よんでください

[@jasonsweet228]

kino

[@adhd5865]

I thought "kimochii warui" meant: YOU'RE DISGUSTING! Isnt it an insult? but if you feel like bulviting, whats a better way to say you want to bulvit?

[@OngoingDiscovery]

Literally just means bad feeling. So you can use it to say you have a bad feeling about anything, whether it be your wellbeing or another person.
