I started learning Japanese a few months ago. And finally I understood the difference between the two. ありがとうございます！ It really helps a lot.

[@SpeakJapaneseNaturally]

😄👍

[@musenw8834]

​@@SpeakJapaneseNaturallyso で　means "at", "in" or "during", に means "to"?

[@musenw8834]

​@@SpeakJapaneseNaturallyso 僕は大学校で勉強した would mean studying in university?

[@mangasprai]

​@@musenw8834 no

[@markjosephbacho5652]

What I observed is that "de" can be more like "at, through, or via" compared to "ni" which is kinda more like "in," a destination/location marker.

[@fuadnajmudin8252]

Yes... I got it right! 😁 1. に 2. で

[@hanaeccleston1302]

loved this video. I’m half Japanese and am fluent in both Japanese and English, but most Japanese people couldn’t tell u the different between when using で and に happy that i learned something about my native tongue today 😊

[@SpeakJapaneseNaturally]

[@jainabfathima2629]

1.に 2.で ありがとうございます❤

[@PirateOfTheNorth]

I was wondering why すんでいます uses に thanks for the info

[@dogchaser520]

So concise! The exceptions for ある、いる and すむ are what confused me so much. Now I just remember those take に because they're special/show existence and I'm (mostly) good. Existing is special, almost like... traveling through time? So に makes sense! (I make up stories like this to help myself remember.)

[@sasqule8321]

[@SpeakJapaneseNaturally]

Thank you for subscribing!

[@NoteZrabbit]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!! I always get the particles mixed up and this helps me to clarify these two. Hopefully I can commit this to memory ;u; (Found your shorts yesterday and have found them really useful!!)

[@littleblackrail]

I love your videos and this explanation is amazing, ありがとうございます！ But how exactly does に differ from へ when using the motion verbs? Like would 銀行へ行きました and 銀行に行きました be equally acceptable and mean the same thing, or is there a difference? Again, love your content, お疲れ様でした！！

[@SpeakJapaneseNaturally]

When speaking に and へ are usually interchangeable. When I speak, I don't use へ. But when it comes to lyrics or poems, people show a vague destination, for example, 明日へ(it's a title of a song). Tomorrow is not an exact place, so in that case, へ is used. But when we don't speak like that, so when we speak, I think に is more often used.

[@littleblackrail]

@@SpeakJapaneseNaturally あぁ、そうそうですね！素晴らしい教師ですな！もう一度ありがとうございました！！！(apologies for any messiness in my Japanese wwww)

This has finally explained it. Ugh, I was wondering what the differences were. This makes sense now.

Wow, this is so useful! I haven't really studied particles too much since I'm currently working my way through learning kanji (currently know about 200 kanji, this is gonna take a while 😅). But I'm definitely saving this video in my playlist to watch again in the future so I can better understand the Japanese sentence structure. You're a great teacher! 👍😃

[@EB-ti6ld]

Super helpful, ありがとうございます！

[@hananokuni2580]

From what I understand, I know that で indicates that the word before it is a participant/instrument in the action, while に indicates that the word preceding it is the _target_ of the action.

[@BKazunori]

That's very helpful. Thank you.

[@jzo1414]

で is not restricted to certain verbs, it can also apply to be a means to do something or modify 用言, which can be verbs but also adjectives and nouns + copula. で tells us the boundary or limit of an action or state of being that is happening, which can be physical or metaphorical. One example for it being a limiting term would be: 世界で一番おいしいラーメン. In which we limit the ramen to being the best in the world. Saying that it only applies to certain verbs does more harm than good especially to people new to the language, and will be especially confusing when confronting natural Japanese. Ni can also be explained way easier. It indicates the target of an action, which can be a place, to which you can go to or you can be at. And if you say that it describes a target and not just a place you can also apply this knowledge to the reru/rareru & seru/saseru constructions to avoid further confusion.

[@Dahnvincente13]

[@TheClintonio]

My second language is Japanese and I now just realised I never realised this, just intuited it.

[@robertwilsoniii2048]

This means Japanese understood a connection between space and time when the language was invented. Anything relating to spacetime uses "ni" -- existence, moving between two distinct locations and referring to specific times. "de" describes what's happening at a location or at a specific time, but not what time it happens. And not motion that happens between two distinct locations. In this way, "de" is similar to "ga" and "ni" is similar to "wa" in that place or location is similar to a topic -- it's prerequisite background information a group needs to know before having a conversation about what's happening there.

when to use へ and に with verbs? We can also say がっこうへいきますInstead of がっこうにいます。Right?

[@pepperoniboy57]

で is context に is target simple as

[@WedNes-cw6cy]

Yesssss i correct Boku ha barito ni sunde imasu😂 Tokyo no tsukiji de nihongo wo benkyou shimashita Is that correct?

[@htethtetoo5388]

How about へ ?? It also indicates the destination? Is it right? For example, can we say that わたしはしごとへ いきます。I have seen this kind of sentence that my Japanese teacher have used. Where can we use へ if not ? What is the difference between に and へ? I often confuse whether to use particle へ or に when I want to say about destination. Thank in advance sensei.

I can read hiragana nearly as fast as english but i dont even know all the katakana characters yet 😅

[@LadyPelikan]

I learnt that it had to do with the action. If you're doing something and just happen to be in a specific place, you use で, but when the place is necessary for the action, you should use に. That way of thinking works in your examples, but am I right?

[@SparxNightcore]

Nihon ni Second one de

[@matzekatze7500]

We also learned that with ni you stay there for a longer time while de is just an action happening at a place.

[@SpeakJapaneseNaturally]

You could say that… but for example あ、あそこに猫がいるよ！oh, there’s a cat there! あ、いなくなっちゃった！ oh, it’s gone! the time when there was a cat there could be very short 🤔

[@mariaiwaoka2023]

@dilfhound69 thank you !

[@tiasm919]

I'm still learning so please correct me if i'm wrong (cmiiw). I usually try to "extend" the sentence so i can add subject+は(wa) and it sounds right, then the other one should be が (iirc you can't use the particle は more than once in a sentence). Exp: 本+?+あります in my mind if i try to add a subject, it becomes (私は)+本+が+あります. Another usage of が if i remember correctly (iirc) is that, when you have 2 subjects in 1 sentence (by combining 2 seperate sentences), you use は for the 1st subject and が for the 2nd subject. Exp: 今母は朝ごはんを食べています。だから、父は新聞をよんでいます。2 sentences with は particle each, when combined, because the 2nd subject is a different subject, the は becomes が. So: 今母は朝ごはんを食べていますから、父が新聞を読んでいます。

What do you use for Yasumimasu ?

[@SpeakJapaneseNaturally]

We say “yasumimasu” when we call workplace or school that you’re not coming today because of the sickness or some other reasons.

[@Herv3]

so de is an expression of a static location while ni is used for expressions of movement, is that correct?

[@SpeakJapaneseNaturally]

Not really. When you say "there is/are 〜," you use に.

[@Herv3]

okay, thank you for correcting me! :)@@SpeakJapaneseNaturally
