VERBまでに Japanese From Zero! Video 144

[@zombiejade898]

Hey George, I'm not sure if you are checking comments on older videos so I'm jumping ahead to thank you for all you've done! You break down japanese grammar in such a thoughtful way for the student, it's really helped me in my studies! I was *especially* stuck on the rules for conjugation and your iru/eru distinction helped clarify so much for me. There are other great explanations but this one has helped me the most. I'll be ordering your books, but please keep the videos going! They are insanely helpful. Thank you! Ok jumping back into the playlist now lol

[@japanesefromzero]

I read comments from time to time. I’m glad the work we done in the books helped you!

[@motormusique]

George, I still love your videos, they are very memorable and helpful. Hope you can post more often.

[@japanesefromzero]

I’ve been streaming 2-3 times a day on @PolyglotGeorge but it’s just me editing a revision for book 2.

[@fwfailed]

Loving the format recently George!

[@mtw7155]

Thank you George for all the hard work you put in! I'm about to finish JFZ 4 will then continue with JFZ 5 after that. I started out with Minna no nihongo, but after finishing the first book and starting the second one, I just felt like I needed more in depth grammar knowledge, so I got all your books and I love them! After finishing JFZ 5, I will try to start Minna no nihongo 2 once again and I hope, it won't frustrate me as it did back then.

[@japanesefromzero]

I just finished a new book 4 video. I think you'll enjoy it. Although it seems like your progress has been really good.

[@jonathanallen2560]

Maybe I'm missing the point, but @ 1:42, about「月末」if the weekend is literally Saturday and Sunday. Is there an exact period of time described by 月末? The last week for example? Or is it just the moment the month ends that I'm describing when I use 月末?

[@jonathanallen2560]

日本に行くまでに、アメリカの全部50県にうんこがしたいです。これは願い事です。 Before going to Japan, I hope to crap in all 50 of the United States. This is my dream.

[@masayama1618]

Hi jonathanallen2560. 月末 have many nuances depending on context. It's not only specific days. If you do something what you have to take weeks for it, you can use 月末 for a week. But I think 月末 means the last few days of month in most situations. Anyway the last week has a sspecific word 最終週. Thank you.

[@japanesefromzero]

Even in English we say “end of the month” and it isn’t a set day. Only the weekend has a set time frame. End of the year as well can be the entire month of December. So basically just use it like English.

[@masayama1618]

Hi again jonathanallen2560. You have to use 州 for state instead of 県. アメリカの全部50州 doesn't make sense. If you want to use this words order , 部 is unnecessary. Just 全 can modify later words. If you want tio use 全部, you should change words order. Likes 50州全部. Thank you.

[@SupremacyGamesYT]

George I wanted to let you know that because many of your [older] videos don't have the specific grammar written on the title (or description) they will not be found if someone searches for "X grammar". Take your と思う video for example, if i search "と思う" it wont be found atl all, so people will miss out on your great videos.

[@japanesefromzero]

Good point.

[@SrinceSaju]

日本に行くまでに父さんが牛乳と帰るかな? Wwww (I wonder if my dad will return with the milk by the time I go to japan)

[@SupremacyGamesYT]

Can you actually use the と like that, to mean with thing? Seem like English thinking, so I don't want to assume.

[@SrinceSaju]

@@SupremacyGamesYT Im not sure, people sometimes say と in situation like this. I just typed what I know

[@oshitakarate514]

Thank you for this lesson.

[@rodrigojoansandinogomez1206]

Hi George, I just wanted to say that English is my second language (first is spanish) and I feel so blessed because I am able to understand and watch your videos, thanks to you my Japanese has been improving and I am watching your Japanese from zero course, love all the lessons and your personality. I am also a teacher of English in my country, and I just noticed today that I adopted some of your humor and personality and I used it today when I was teaching 😂 Your amazing, keep it up, sending love from Nicaragua ❤

[@jdskates.69]

Hello, I have completed course 1 and became very interested in Japanese language after, so I decided to continue your course, and I am half way through course 2. Now I am thinking about studying for the JLPT. I will start with N5 this year and work my way up. In your opinion, would I be likely to pass N5 in December if I complete up to course 3 by that time? Thanks, Jonathan

[@InspireMari]

This lesson was a great exercise. Thank you!

[@JamezSquared]

So would the following sentence be "I will study by 9o'clock" or "I am studying until 9o'clock"? 9時までに勉強します。And how would you say the other one if it's the first one?

[@SonarHD]

9時までに勉強します sounds just as weird in Japanese as it does in English. You’re saying, “I will study BY 9 o’clock.” If you get rid of the に particle, then it becomes a natural sentence 9時まで勉強します = “I will study UNTIL 9 o’clock.” If you tweak the sentence a little, then we can make it sound natural again using までに, like so: 9時までに勉強し終わります = “I will finish studying by 9 o’clock.” With までに something needs to be finished by the designated time. You can’t start an action at that point. Hope that makes sense.

[@1uploadrs]

If you want to indicate future tense you would probably want to use つもり as in ９時までに勉強するつもりです。(By 9, I intend to study). Your sentence makes the point across too so you are not wrong. For the 'I am studying until 9 just drop the に and go ９時まで勉強しています as the the しています represents ongoing form (Until 9, I am studying) basically.

[@japanesefromzero]

@@SonarHD You would finish studying by 9:00 using に. ９時までに勉強がおわります。But if you're just studying UNTIL 9, it's ９時まで勉強します。I'm going to study until 9.

[@SonarHD]

@@japanesefromzero I believe that’s what I said. Did you perhaps tagged the wrong person? 🤔

Hey George, I finished Japanese from Zero 1 and 2 and now learning Korean for college next semester. Is the Korean from Zero channel going to be updated? I always loved watching the lessons but sadfully there aren't many for Korean from zero

[@TheMrFuzio]

"Say it out loud!" is becoming my favorite moment/advices of your videos. I really obey this order like a disciple. The brain muscle and mouth muscle are 2 very different aspects of the learning process and I started improving x5 when doing that ❤

8:08 Shouldn't it be 前にnotまでに?

[@jordansvideoblogs4229]

Hey George, loved your reading live streams and have continued reading daily on my own. Found an interesting example of this grammar recently but with an adjective. 不思議なまでに静かな夜だった I think it means a 夜/night that is so 静か/quiet that its 不思議/strange. But I've never seen まで used like this so thought it was interesting.

[@japanesefromzero]

That's probably 不思議な間で and not the まで in this lesson.

[@masayama1618]

@@japanesefromzero No. It's まで. You don't have to use kanji in that context. That まで is an another way to say ほど or くらい.

[@MikePailleur]

What is the last version of the Japanese from Zero books? On Amazon (Canadian) it shows 6th Edition from 2006, I want to try the first book but I would like the updated version. Also what's the difference beetween the subscription on the website and the books?

[@japanesefromzero]

We have tried in vain to change the revision number. The most recent edition is 8.0. And that is what is selling on all Amazon sites. The websites have the same information as the books but are dynamic and have quizzes, activities, study modes, ask-a-teacher service. Etc.

[@hesabmozayaf9723]

[@Kali_edoo]

hey i wanted to start that "course" but do you think its better to first go somewhere else and learn the hiragana by myself? Im not sure if this channel covers up hiragana and katakana

[@christineginn5991]

You have to go back to Japanese From Zero books 1 and 2, they cover hiragana and katakana. I think he covers most of that in his early JFZ videos for those same lessons.

[@AnimeGIFfy]

Hi, have you done any video on "か” vs ”かい" (question particles)? i only recently started noticing "かい" and googling end up giving me conflicting information. Btw, I like how you hesitate for a second, before saying something, because you don't know if you are going overboard.

[@japanesefromzero]

かい is just used to show incredulity and disbelief. That’s my “still lying in bed” answer. But in every scenario I run on my head I would bet on it. You might say 本当かい？But I would respond そうだい！

[@AnimeGIFfy]

Hm, I guess I'll try thinking of い at the end as disbelief or convincing then. Thank you.

[@japanesefromzero]

This sentence is wrong but even it it’s right it doesn’t make sense. Wanna try another. People love this on the “father buying milk” type sentences but Japanese people don’t have this culture so even when correct it ends up sounding wrong since Japanese can’t connect to it.

[@masayama1618]

Hi hiddenmoose. 四個 can't be pronounced as しこ. And you have to insert small っ into しこ for piss. So unfortunately your joke doesn't work at all in japanese. I think your there are few mistakes about partiles in your japanese sentence. が+ちがい should be の+ちがい+が. Thank you.
