[@bewy5282]

i just realized from your days of the week video that 月 also means moon, and 日 also means sun. it makes so much sense because a moon cycle takes about a month, and the sun coming up is a new day. idk why, but i think thats really cool

Good day, am trying to learn Japanese on my own, on KZbin, I really appreciate the fact that your teaching stand put from many others, that I have watched,..and also your teaching is in-depth and very detailed..

Hi Yuko Sensei. Thanks for the great videos. I have a question. What is the difference between げつ and がつ?

[@YukoSensei]

The kanji 月 has three different readings (pronunciation) depending on the context as below. 月（つき）= moon 月（げつ）as in Monday 月曜日（げつようび） 月（げつ）as a counter for months. ３か月（さんかげつ）= three months 月（がつ）as the name of each month. ３月（さんがつ）= the 3rd month = March I hope this helps!

[@natiorobles6339]

Sensei please could you make a video with the hours? How we have to say for example: It's 43 past 10. Pleeeease! Arigatou gozaimasu!

[@teruhashikokomi1233]

that would be 十時四十三分です or jū ji yom san būn desu. sorry for the late answer but i can explain the time thing if you like. if you know the numbers it is very simple. 時 is the kanji for time. if you are referring to full hours, just add 時 (ji) next to the number. for example: 一時 - one o’ clock 二時 - two o’ clock 三時 - three o’ clock and so on. (note: 七時 is read as shichi ji and not nana ji since nana ji sounds odd and native speakers don’t use it much) similarly, the kanji 半 (han) means half. if you’re referring to half hours, this is what it would be like: 一時半 - 1:30 二時半 - 2:30 三時半 - 3:30 and so on to answer your question, 分 (būn) is a kanji used for minutes and it is used to state the exact time for example: 一時一分 - 1:01 二時二分 - 2:02 三時三分 - 3:03 and so on note: AM is 午前 (gozen) and PM is 午後 (gogo) as you have noticed, they all follow a pattern and you don’t have to memorize new words as long as you know the japanese number system. however there is an exception: 午前零時 (gozen rei ji) which means 12:00 am, midnight. the kanji 零 (rei) is used for zero and the literal translation of 午前零時 is “00:00 am”. however, 午前十二時一分 (12:01 am) onwards it goes on normally so it is not as complicated as sounds right now. i know i answered really late but i hope it helped :)))

[@varatha4151]

Yuko sensei, Thanks for your lesson. One question: Can we interchange the position of month and date in the sentences?

[@indigofenrir7236]

You can't. Japanese date goes YYYY/MM/DD. It is not as flexible as English where we can say "the sixth (day) of May" or "May 6" or "May 6th".

[@sknycs]

Is there a tutorial on how to say can and can't? like I can't eat I can't see for example

[@TheRock666erer]

(Just a beginner myself) to negate a verb you have to change the ending of it. In polite form you use -ません (-masen) as in 食べません (ta•be•ma•se•n) or 見ません (mi•ma•se•n) instead of -ます (-masu). In neutral you use the ending -ない (-nai) as in 食べない (ta•be•na•i). Hope this kinda helps. How you change the base form of the verb depends on the type of verb.

[@sknycs]

@@TheRock666erer I thought that was for past tense e.g. とんかつをたべませんでした

[@TheRock666erer]

@@sknycs -ません でした is the negated polite past tense. Without でした its the negated polite present tense (the polite past tense would be -ました. As far as I remember :)

[@perramaldita1]

Is that a mistake, that the title of the video say «getsu» for the months?

[@indigofenrir7236]

月 is read as "getsu", "gatsu", or "tsuki". Unless it follows a number to specify a month, "getsu" on its own is correct, as it can mean month or moon.

Sensei, when I use Google translate january = 1 tsuki. What do you think about that?

[@YukoSensei]

I tried it myself out of curiosity. You are right. It does show 1 Tsuki! Wow... Of course, it's wrong. And interestingly, if you click on the speaker icon on Google Translate to hear the pronunciation, it says "ichi gatsu." 😲
