【While -ing】 in Japanese ながら N4

[@the_n00b_gamergirl]

Why isn't she famous?!✨ She should be a TV or Radio personality hahaha 😂😆 she's not only a great teacher but she's HILARIOUS!!!🤗 Thanks for making my day, Miku 先生❤️

[@juliehornphotography]

I have never had this explained to me before! Thank you. In english, "wearing" and "sitting" are not the instant act or action of "putting on" or "sitting down" but the state of "having something on" or "being in a seated position" In english they are continuous actions, not instant. So english speakers need to really THINK about this.

[@redshots5275]

Was just about comment something similar before seeing this. It really isn't interesting isn't?! Such a different conceptualization. I wonder then what state those glasses are in, in that case. Would you REALLY be 'wearing' them? Probably not, least not the English notion of "wearing". I guess, 「眼鏡を掛けます。」 would be "I put on glasses", then. It's a really nice (and vitally important) moment when you can understand another piece of the Japanese Language in terms of it's own internal logic, and way of looking at the world. Rather than through the lens of English, or whatever your native language is.

[@poppyto7273]

@@redshots5275 Thank you so much to you and Julie, I'm not an English native speaker but I'm doing my best learning japanese in English haha. Our comments were very useful to me.

You are by far the best Japanese teacher on KZbin

[@cindyho3267]

I am singing while working. The word “while” should follow by the main action. I look at my handphone while walking. Miku sensei is great. I love her videos.

[@MrSceneNine]

Without looking to check, I don't think the て form rules for "whilst" are even covered in Genki 2. So this is the first time I'm hearing that part of the grammar construct. So for that addition, thank you. It seems tough to describe the situational differences, but for me it came across clearly.

[@Sakura-zu4rz]

I have a frustrating experience. Not knowing where to begin or hitting a plateau can feel demoralizing and make it hard to hit the books and study like you know you should…Having friends from other cultures makes me more creative. In fresh ways about space and how people create their own world and environment. It is best way to connect between creative thinking and cross-cultural relationships!

Ding ding ding! Thats right ^_^

[@sad_doggo2504]

立って人に話す = I talk to people standing up 立っている人に話す = I talk to [the] people [that are] standing up Is this correct? This seems like another really easy mistake to make but I haven't studied this grammar point very much, I just saw it in a pocket guide

[@macmanato]

The second sentence should be 立って （い）るの人に話す。

[@felixthecat1882]

While -ing isn't that formed with the first verb ending -nagara and the second with -masen?

[@devingray1105]

Does Nagara pair with the most important part or does it matter?

[@MRGINCAT]

Great video as usual but I wonder (at about 6:00 and after) if めがねをかけるcan be an "instant" and a "state" verb. I had actually regarded it as the state of wearing glasses (for a period of time), rather than the action of putting them on. And certainly you might say "I was wearing glasses while I drove through the stop light". Then that would be ながら　。。。ね？Ok - just watched the example about sittING. Tricky. Is すわるthe action of sitting DOWN (changing from a standing to sitting position) rather than being in a state of sitting. Yet as you can presumably say "座っている” there is a element of state (for me) - but perhaps not for a Japanese person. Is there an element of 2 ongoing ACTIONS rather than 2 ongoing STATES in this? Nero was fiddling while Rome burned ;-) Help please!

[@Gamingartfactory]

But I admitted that you are one of the best Japanese language teacher

[@xia0ting]

in the last example, can you use "de" as "using"? pawa-pointo de nihongo wo oshieru?

[@zegtronic]

that’s what I was thinking... but you should at least use hiragana man // reading ローマ字 is hard on the eyes

[@sesehoho8954]

nihongo is really one of the languages that have complicated grammar structure. XD because in N4 you will learn ながら = while. but when you get to N3 ながら has a different meaning hahahaha so the meaning will depend on the thoughts of the sentences. hahaha

[@VirusGamingHDGaming]

ありがとうございました！今分かってる！ 「仕事しながら」と「働きながら」の違いは何だの？

[@felixthecat1882]

For example Tabenagara, terebi o mimasen. (I eat while watching TV)?

[@yukitoyoda8839]

How about the difference between 間に、間、and ながら？

[@JapanDaisukiTTS]

みく先生ありがとうございます！！ Can you please explain what the particle さ means! I always hear it in Japanese conversations when I speak with my Japanese friends and when I watch Anime but I still don't know what it means!

[@paribeans]

it's used to turn an adjective into a noun, for example 高い means tall and 高さ means height or 美しい (description) means beautiful and 美しさ means beauty (noun)

[@rickylosangels]

@@paribeans Hey ! Do you know how to connect two or more verbs in japanese? Not in the sense of describing actions (in this case we would conjugate the verbs into te form and the last one in masu form), in the sense like " I learn to speak english at the faculty"? Would you conjugate one of them into Te form and the other into Masu/dictionary form? or would you use 1 verb + koto ga + the other? how would you connect them ? I'm learning japanese and none of the genki boooks cover this grammar ... thank you

[@animeloverXinuyasha]

@@rickylosangels Hi I think it is [verb 1 dict form]+ koto/no + [particle] +[verb 2] e.g. 英語を話すのが習ってる (or こと instead of の)

[@KamiNosane]

[@jomardevilla8226]

Can i use this in past tense?

[@foxworld8249]

Intro got me like O_O NAN DAI YO?!

[@flynnjaturtle2545]

What would be the difference between “。。てながら” and “。。あいだに。。”?

[@JoseOliveira-kc4tr]

If the subject of the two actions is not the same, ながら can't be used. You'll have to use あいだに. Example: 皆 が 寝ている あいだ に 私 は 勉強します。I study while everyone is sleeping.

You know you are learning too many languages when you recognize the German word "Arbeit" in the Japanese word "arubaito"

[@macmanato]

I had always been curious on what language アルバイト is from because it is written in katakana. Thanks for this!

[@crowsandcrows]

I am a little bit confused at 3:13 Is it supposed to be "I am watching Netflix while drinking beer." not "I am drinking beer while watching Netflix."? Or it just doesn't matter (Or I just don't understand LOL)

[@JoseOliveira-kc4tr]

It depends on what you determine to be the main action. Imagine that Sunday afternoons you always watch Netflix and only occasionally do you drink beer - watching Netflix will be your main action. You can say then "I'm drinking beer while watching Netflix ", 「ビールを飲みながらネットフリックスをみっている。」. The thing is, MikuSensei sometimes swaps the order in the english translation.

To be honest coming from a perspective of an english speaker and filipino speaker. Using the "て" when connecting two clauses. feels like the 1st clause is incomplete. I don't know why.
