[@TheClintonio]

I've definitely heard someone use "さ" in every possible place, but he was imitating a child at the time to mock someone.

[@SpeakJapaneseNaturally]

I see. But adults use all the time too. Next time you watch drama or anime, I'm sure you'll hear it😄

[@faith17178]

Thankyou for covering things not often done by other Japanese KZbinr learning channels ❤

[@SpeakJapaneseNaturally]

It’s my pleasure ✨😊

こんにちは。 Thank you so much for explaining the Japanese particles! When I began to study Japanese last year, particles were totally new for me... And it is not easy to understand (when and where to use them).... It will take me a few years I think to assimilate everything. Thank you for your precious explanations! あなたは素晴らしい先生です。 お疲れ様でした。🤗🇨🇦

[@SpeakJapaneseNaturally]

Particles must be very difficult. It's hard for me to explain too. Immersion definitely helps you understand particles from the context😀

ふみ先生、こんにちは☺️ なるほど、わかりました! おもしろくってさ、「さ」は日常会話の中でよく使われているので、知っておいたほうがいいと思います。先生は詳しく説明してくださるので、毎回とても勉強になります✨感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです🙇🏻‍♂️

[@SpeakJapaneseNaturally]

スティーブンさん、こんにちは！ そうです、「さ」は本当によく使われます。自分が使わなくても知っておいたほうがいいかなと思って動画を作りました😄 コメント、ありがとうございました✨

[@Estarianne2000]

When you started explaining and said it wasn't used at the end I thought "but Itto says it in Genshin Impact! He says "正々堂々と勝ち取ってくるのさ” but then you explained the personality that conveys and that’s exactly Itto lmao.

Thank you sensei! I saw the sentence「ちょっとしたトリックさ。」on a videogame and was really confused! Now I understand.

[@SpeakJapaneseNaturally]

Great!!😀

[@sweet___pi]

the way you speak, both in English and in Japanese, is so elegant and refined! one day, i hope to be just as stately as you are😊❤️ as always, thank you for a wonderful video🙇‍♀️💓

[@bernoGarcia]

thank you very much. very helpful. but its truly hard as a foreigner to get a feeling for the usage of such particles

[@hachimi_2932]

I just found Fumi-sensei's channel today, and all the videos I saw have been very helpful. ふみ先生のチャネルを見つけてできてよかったです！

[@SpeakJapaneseNaturally]

I’m glad that you found my channel! Thank you for your comment 😁✨

[@dunnishida7989]

Thank you for explaining the use of “sa”. My Japanese isn’t very good so I’ve asked people from Japan to explain it and they found it difficult. Domo arigato

[@SpeakJapaneseNaturally]

It was difficult for me to. I needed some time to think of how to explain😊

[@GlitchmanVGM]

Great video, so informative!

[@bbymetal39]

ふみ先生、ありがとうございます！ I’m a bit confused on when to use 「けど」like 「だけど」or 「ですけど」. I thought 「けど」 was like “but” or “however” so I figured it would be used to say “______but,” but it didn’t seem like that here. Thank you!

[@SpeakJapaneseNaturally]

Good question. けど／だけど／ですけど also means “______and.” So it means "and" or "but" depending the context😀

[@shelbysiewert9470]

I don't know if ふみ先生 has a video explaining it in depth, but this is a good video to watch if you want to hear more about how けど is used in the way you asked about: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYHPd6GMgNaZrJY&pp=ygUG44GR44Gp

I am a Canadian living in Japan with a native Japanese 2 year old daughter (also teaching her english but Japanese is her main) I can converse with her in Japanese no problem but she uses this さa lot! I understand its like "listen up!" but using it is where I struggle. Its a very native thing I think😞

[@mgrzx3367]

I work on learning. It's hard. Your voice is soft and I enjoy listening to you. Some one said Japanese is a soft language. I listen to Yousei Teikoku, Yui sings soft. Just amazed. If I say this wrong, say so. Arigato gozaimasu sensei. Smiles. 🌹

[@SpeakJapaneseNaturally]

I’ve never heard that Japanese is a soft language, but it’s nice to be thought like that 😁👍

[@mgrzx3367]

@@SpeakJapaneseNaturally Yousei Teikoku is Goth metal band. Most metal bands are harsh. Yui has a soft edge to her voice. Makes it that much more special to listen to. Like listening to you. It's special to listen to. Thank you Sensei. Your time is always a moment to love. 🌹🌹

[@noharakun]

i feel like さ i more of a feminine thing than masculine. when i living in japan it was a common feminie 口癖 especially among younger women. how many times id hear on the train a group of JKs or OLs saying "あたしさ、でもさ、あのさ、昨日さ, あいつさ、ってさ" etc etc but id hear it used among men used like "さあねえ”　as in "i guess??" or like "さ、行こう！" as in "alright, lets go". im curious to hear your take on it, because"alright, lets go". im curious to hear your take on it, because im also a japanese teacher

[@SpeakJapaneseNaturally]

Thank you for your question. I don’t think さ is more of a feminine thing. I hear a lot of おれさー too. And the examples you gave us are used by women too🤔

"kyouma sa" nande nande. It's viral sound in my class. But i can not to explain.

[@冴羽獠-u8m]

I hope that there isn t other particule for each dialect. I want to go to Mito in Ibaraki prefecture the next year and even if I speak Japanese I don t speak it fluently... If I heard the Ibaraki dialect, I ll be lost with some expression 😅 Thx a lot, Fumi sensei.

[@SpeakJapaneseNaturally]

Actually, there are. But I don't know well about them either. Dialects differ a lot! Thank you for your comment😊

[@noharakun]

if you go to ibaraki youll be fine for the most part, i used to live on the border of chiba and ibaraki, and its mostly standard kanto accent unless youre talking to some old person in a really rural area

[@perso9043]

This always helps me very much 🥰

[@SpeakJapaneseNaturally]

Good😉

[@matthewdavis9437]

ありがとうさ Would this work? Haha If so, how would you translate or explaining the meaning of sa here?

[@elezraita]

So, basically, it’s an expressive version of は. Got it.

[@zhonglishusband6988]

So さ is like about”. Like 私さ(about me…)

[@sameeruddowlakhan]

really helpful! one question - the さ sounds kind of long each time you pronounced it, as though it is phonetically さあ. is that just an exaggeration for this video or is that the usual pronunciation?

[@SpeakJapaneseNaturally]

Good point. come to think of it, I think i usually use a long vowel.

[@eugeneespinas9816]

How to use ので and には?

When I watch Badminton of Japanese team, they cheer with さ。May I ask what does it mean ? 😊thank you

[@SpeakJapaneseNaturally]

I'm sorry I don't know about that. Do you have any videos of the cheer?

[@massvt3821]

I wonder if the word "toka" is used in the same way, or to keep the conversation going..

[@SpeakJapaneseNaturally]

Toka is a particle used to list nouns, or to tell that something is not uncertain, so it's different 😄
