Learn Japanese with Yuta: bit.ly/4dwX4nZ

[@TylerNOS386277]

Hello. I need a some help from someone who speaks Japanese. I'm an author of fictional books written in English, and I created a few characters that are Japanese Kami. I would like to know what you think of their names. Do you think the names are good or bad? Do they sound weird? - Moshojin, 猛暑 神 Heiwajin, 平和 神 Boryokujin, 暴力 神 Korijin, 氷 神 Obutsujin, 汚物 神 - I based these names on the classical Kami named, Fujin, 風神 Raijin, 雷神 Ryujin 龍神

彼は一個知識くれたね

[@0nearmedbandit]

this concept was one of the harder ones to learn when getting started for sure!

[@jeffendaya5853]

The phrase **もらってあげる (moratte ageru)** translates to "I will receive (it) for you" or "I will accept (it) for you" in a casual, conversational way. Here's the breakdown: - **もらって (moratte)**: the te-form of **もらう (morau)**, which means "to receive." - **あげる (ageru)**: a verb that means "to give" or "to do something for someone." In casual Japanese, you might use **もらってあげる** when you want to express that you will receive or accept something on behalf of someone else. For example, if someone offers you a gift and you want to say you'll accept it for them, you might say: - **それをもらってあげるよ (Sore o moratte ageru yo)**: "I’ll receive that for you."

[@vampyrelycan99]

As always, thank you Yuta for the valuable and useful lesson. Much appreciated!

[@DaisalinaForever564]

I found くれる and もらう to be tricky also when there were some situations where I thought I could use both, but now I fully understand their usages after watching this video!! 本当にありがとうございます！😊

[@DSoraK]

i am instantly in love with this series, make more please

[@Anonymous-bj8nn]

I needed this validation. In uni, my professor thought that I had studied this before when she taught it because I was able to understand it immediately because of mentally connecting it with how other Japanese verbs are used.

[@RayleighWave]

教えてくれて ありがとうございます

[@joshuasamuel2122]

This is a very good explanation!

[@LovelySmileyHappy]

The explanation of concious knowledge vs implicit knowledge was great, that's why English is a challenging language to learn -a lot of it is intuitive understanding of context and phrases. I loved the explanation of the Japanese though, I'm casually learning Japanese through context videos

[@soyosugawara2658]

Awesome lesson.

[@ambiention]

Really clear explanation. I’m confident I’ve been using them correctly, but I’d never consciously thought of kureru in that way. In fact, I thought of it as something similar to morau but using ga instead of ni for some reason. This explanation makes much more sense. I’ll add for me that kureru has an additional feeling of ‘something being kindly done for me/uchi’. Sort of the reverse of watasu, which feels very impersonal. But that might just be in my head.

[@brokless]

Thank you

[@Arthur-jr8hp]

Yre welcome

[@hairihairi1175]

good point YUTA

[@Toropetskii]

The reason this is a difficult grammar point to remember is because "morau" doesn't map well onto casual English. There's no real equivalent I know of, every translation is longer than seems natural.

[@nicbentulan]

1 - anyone else watch yuta only for anime? 2 - Great series of how anime characters speak Japanese. Please do Itsuki Nakano from the quintessential quintuplets or any or all the 7 main characters in TQQ. How they speak Japanese I believe is very important to understanding the plot eg the honorifics, the lost in translation stuff (eg when they say things like zurui, hatsukoi, uso, tachi, fukuzatsu Vs taihen, mote etc that are removed from the dub). I compiled a lot of the lost in translation stuff in r/gotoubun Something to consider about Itsuki: The Quintessential Quintuplets' character types are: Ichika - Onee-san / ara ara, Nino - tsundere, miku - kuudere / dandere, Yotsuba - genki Itsuki - ?? - Tsundere like Nino? - Eat-suki? - Imouto? - Someone who speaks keigo to their siblings, to Fuutarou and to Raiha and to everyone basically? Actually, the main thing I learned from Yuta's videos that keigo is basically just desu, masu & their variations. I swear when I learned elementary Japanese in bachelor's (foreign language classes are required in universities in the Philippines) we were never even taught the word keigo. All this time I had no idea Itsuki was the only quint and actually only main character who was talking keigo to EVERYONE. Anyway, I have a theory as to what Itsuki's type is, but you're not gonna like it... For more japanese stuff re TQQ, see: ubmu3x

[@Randhrick]

I understand this grammar/concept but I don't consider my Japanese to be good. But that was a good short and to the point explanation.

[@renatoaraujinho]

What about a video interview on ukiyo-e or surimono writings or cursive kanji? Japanese people nowadays could read 17th, 18th, 19th centuries cursive kanji?

[@akairyu3028]

Right , could yuo explane what is "ga" "ni" and "o" in the sentence ichikawa ga yamada ni omiyage o ageta is "ga" = for? , bacause i have heard those words before in anime's like ga for example "kore ga " , aswell do Japanese people use words like, "zo" or "daze" ? Because in anime u can hear those a lot like "umai-zo" , additionaly what does "daro-ne" means is it like " isn't it" ??? If you have got a vieo about such supporting words , and words that are more hmm causal , not like from book but more like real life then please leave a link to it , . I could use some of them because im plannig to go to Japan and I would like to know how to cominicate with people a little bit in normal way but not like robot heh.

[@akifox8629]

Based on the examples and definitions in this video, this is what I concluded: あげる [ I give/gave, or "A" gave "B" ] くれる [ "A" gave ME, or "A" gave (my family member/ close friend of mine) ] もらう [ means "receive" ]

[@fullhouse-2065]

Using anime to explain how to understand of using certain words is amazing actually. Props to you

[@jeffendaya5853]

The phrase **もらっていただく (moratte itadaku)** is a polite or formal way of saying "to receive" or "to accept" something. It combines: - **もらって (moratte)**: the te-form of もらう (morau), which means "to receive." - **いただく (itadaku)**: a humble way to say "to receive" or "to accept," often used in formal contexts. In casual Japanese, you might say: - **もらう (morau)**: "to receive." - **もらって (moratte)**: "to receive (in progress)." So, in a more casual context, you would simply use **もらう**.

[@apleb7605]

I guess as an add on, you can use あげる、くれる、もらう for when you do things or people do things for you. For example, if you want to ask a friend about how to make chocolate: A: チョコの作り方を教えてもらえないだろうか? (Can I have you teach me how to make chocolate?) B: いいよ、教えてあげる。(That’s fine. I’ll teach you.) (After B teaches A how to make chocolate) A: 教えてくれてありがとう。 (Thanks for teaching me.)

[@1.4142]

ageru just sounds like "I give you"

[@ambiention]

That’s because you haven’t heard it in context enough yet

Yuta Sensei, I heard that if one gives something to someone more senior or to his boss etc, using あげる may sound a little rude. So in such case, which alternative verb to use in such scenarios ?

[@sdsddai]

さしあげる instead of あげる

[@geraniumpower6852]

@@sdsddai Thanks!

[@mmadaus]

Yuta is a certified man of culture

[@clipfischistbesser]

My understanding of the etymology here is ageru means something to the effect of giving upwards and kureru something to the effect of being handed down. Eg. making a gift, I'm giving something upwards from a low position, asking humbly for the gift to be accepted, whereas describing the act of receiving a gift I'm describing gracefully being handed it despite being in a lower position. Basically imagine yourself in a deep bow both as you make gifts and as you receive gifts. Hence why you can kureru in your sister's stead, you're basically symbolically lowering your entire family.

0:15 - The phrase "Arigatou, monau ne" does not make sense in this context because "monau" is not a recognized Japanese word. The correct phrase in casual Japanese is "ありがとう、もらうね" (Arigatou, Morau ne.)

[@pennymac16]

Well, if "monau" is not a recognized Japanese word, then it doesn't make sense in _any_ context. Good thing Yuta didn't use that word to begin with. He obviously used "morau". Did you misunderstand somehow and jump to conclusions?

[@jeffendaya5853]

​@@pennymac16Here's a colloquial Japanese Hiragana version of "Thank you, I'm going to receive it": **English:** "Thank you, I'm going to receive it." **Japanese (Hiragana, Colloquial):** ありがとう、もらうね **Explanation:** - **ありがとう** - "Arigatou" - "Thank you." This is a casual way to express gratitude. - **もらうね** - "Morau ne" - This means "I'm going to receive it" or "I'll take it" in a casual and friendly manner. The "ね" adds a softer, more colloquial tone, often used in casual conversation. This version sounds natural and relaxed, suitable for casual conversations.

[@earthbind83]

3:15 How do I phrase it if I want my sister to be the subject of the sentence? I.e. "My sister received a souvenir from Ichikawa." I think I got it except for the particle: Imouto ha Ichikawa [particle] omiyage o kureta.

hmm so im a bit of a jozu myself, just from watching anime for 3 years XD but i still struggle a lot in forming sentences

[@zerioification]

If you receive something, you can't say え？あげるの？ So, ageru is used to describe the action of a 1st person or 3rd person, but it can't describe the action of a 2nd person?

[@lionegberts]

Well I always here that way when somebody gives something to me. It will be くれる。I just do not here あげる in this case

[@clinton4161]

You can't use あげる because it would imply that you're doing them a favor by being given something. So with that logic maybe just the emperor of Japan can use it that way.

[@EvgenyUskov]

now explain "もらっていただく", "もらってあげる"

[@Kunomori]

Why it's "Kureru no" and not "Kureru ka"?

[@zOriginYT]

I believe の is used casually. That's from what i observed anyways, but I'm only N5-N4 level.

Plain speech (without です/ます) questions with か could come across too strong. It's common to soften them with の even for guys.

Well if I'm following the logic correctly then you're simply combining receiving with being given to with implied gratitude in the verb kuru. So I did look it up and it's basically just saying you're grateful for receiving something.

Lmao, someone still falls with that premise. It's the 8th grade type of syndrome kid.

I bet you will say it still weird but it giving slap in the face to boy who has that kind of fantasy. Also, this anime not even close to Netflix's The End of F World series like people assume to be.
