I haven't left a comment thus far but I'm at the end of my Universitys Intro to Japanese course with this chapter, and your videos have solely helped me get through it all! ありがとうございます!
As always this is an awesome video for me to review the chapter with! You do an amazing job of making things easy. I'm having a hard time with these negative なかった endings, I had an easier time with 手形 this video is majorly helpful for chapter 9. Thank you for your hard work!
I found this because I was SO confused on the modifying nouns with verbs. Thank you, I understand perfectly now! Subbed so you can help me review past chapters and be an extra resource for the rest!
楽しい 楽しくない 楽しかった 楽しくなかった きれい きれいじゃない きれいだった きれいじゃなかった By adding です they’re polite, without です it is informal Would I happen to be correct? If I am correct, I understand the concept
i don't know if i'm confused or not but here at 11:50 you said the negative form for the noun 雨 is 雨だった but shouldn't it be 雨じゃなかった since nouns are treated as な adjectives. Also thank you so much for your videos, 4 years later and they are still amazing.
4:54 I Think it’s pretty easy to differentiate from Ichidan verbs: when the word before る is a Kanji, then it’s most likely Godan; when the word beforeる is a Hiragana, then it’s Ichidan verb.
Please correct me if I am wrong, but I believe in your section about the Japanese and formal negative past, you put かった instead of なかった for the adjective
Late to this party but I just had to double check I wasn't on the wrong vid also haha. ty for these vids, I'm just casually approaching learning the language cause I think its cool and I don't even have the book atm but resources like yours are so valuable
Got a little confused at ~6:21. In lesson 8 you defined V Neg as the -ve verb stem (うたわ), but here you've redefined V Neg as the short-form -ve verb (うたわない).
Ah yes. I should have defined it as the Negative Verb STEM in Lesson 8, with this lesson having it as the Negative Verb Conjugation (fully finished conjugation). Sorry about that!
ToKini Andy has outgrown Patreon. There is so much premium content now, that we decided to move (there were other reasons too). You can now access our premium course material at: www.tokiniandy.com/ edit: 5/19/2021
You are brilliant. Just when I thought I cannot go further on the internet i bump into your channel. How do I get someone to speak to me on the net?. Tried the apps....no one responded.
I can not wait to get your Patreon. I don’t know if I wanna get it in late May or if I wanna get it when I finish Genki 1. I am currently on lesson 9 so I expect to be done by early June maximum. Idk we’ll see. No matter what in late June I’ll have it
Don't do late May, because Patreon charges at the BEGINNING of the month, regardless of when you join. So if you join May 22nd, you'll get charged $10, and then you'll be charged for June on June 1st. I'm not happy about it, but that's just how Patreon works. =(
Does your website content have anything like printable practice worksheets or something like that? I saw that there are online practice tests, but I learn better through note taking and writing/repeating sort of, if that makes sense. (Like I have to take notes with all of your videos and my class stuff to remember anything) I want to subscribe to your monthly thing because your videos really help with my college classes, but I'm not sure if it will be worth it I guess (and I don't have money to throw around). Thank you!!
Unfortunately, there are no printables on the website at the moment. Everything is either in video format, or the tests, which are online. If that is the main type of content you are looking for, I can't really recommend the site. I appreciate that you considered it though!
I just learned that there is a noun and i-adjective form of 赤 What in the world I guess when I think of it in English it’s the same word I never really thought of it that way
@@NilfgardianNationalist と has many usages. 思う is never dropped. と言う when it's shorted to って言う the 言う can be dropped, but only then, And still only at the end of the sentence.
I know i am a month late but the word is not a known, it is the shortform past conjugation of 晴れる which is an ichidan verb, so we cut the ru and add ta.
I mean noisy / loud are already impolite statements if you describe a person as such so urusai itself cant be conjugated to sound polite. Now if you want to say to someone that he must quiet down then you can say "shizuka ni shite kudasai" which means "Please be quiet". Hope this helps 😁
I’m unclear on the conjugation forms before kara. I couldn’t figure it out lol it seems like it’s all of them and not a set format; I’m very confused on only that part.
So this is a story I made, to help me remember the IRU ERU verb exceptions (stories are always good to remember stuff easily): A boy, Natsu, played a game of soccer with his friends at a park. He KICKED a ball to them, while his sister SLIDED on the park slide. After the game, Natu's good friend SPOKE with him. He told Natsu that he shouldn't LIMIT himself by only playing soccer at the park and that he should join the soccer team. Natsu told him that he KNOWS, but he doesn't want to leave his sister alone after school. At 6 o'clock, Natsu and his sister NEEDED to GO HOME. As a game, they RAN home to see who is faster. As they ENTERED their house, their mother was busy CUTTING watermelons for them. I hope this helps to remember :)
Can someone help me understand why at 15:21 we would use tabeteinai instead of tabenakatta or tabemasendeshita, in order to say "haven't ate yet"? I still am confused on the TE IRU form use when discussing the "states of being". Does this mean that essentially, this person has not went from the state of "not ate yet" to "have now ate"? Is this a good way to think about this "state/change" form of TE IRU? I get the other one, which is basically just "ING" for english verbs, but this use of TE IRU is still confusing to me, especially when it seems completely interchangeable with simple past tense verb use.
もう迷わない What exactly would this mean? I see the verb is 迷わない So the verb is 迷う Is 迷う a verb? I think it means to get lost So would もう迷わない mean “I already did not get lost” REASON I ASK As you know I like Japanese (why else would I be studying it?). I was debating on if I really wanted to choose Japanese and moving to japan as my first major choice after highschool. Then a song was recommended to me (I’m sure you know the song, everyone does). I don’t know what the lyrics are in English. I don’t want to know the lyrics in English I want to learn the lyrics through studying Japanese. I’m picking up a few things here and there. After lesson 9, I was able to pick up a specific part of the song 君が全然全部なくなって チリヂリになったって もう迷わない また１から探しはじめるさ I have 0 clue what this means but the もう迷わない part seems familiar
迷う is a verb that means "to lose ones way" or "to get lost". It can be used just like the English where you say "I'm lost" meaning you don't know what to do. もう迷わない means "I won't be lost anymore" as もう can also mean "anymore" when used with a negative.
@@ToKiniAndy I doubt you remember because I’m sure you have not been thinking about Genki lately (I don’t mean to say that in a condescending way (just in case you took it that way I apologize in advance)), but did we ever discuss how 有る is an irregular verb at times? I remember talking about them in lesson 4 but I don’t remember talking about them being irregular at times
と思う and と言う are dictionary forms, and thus used in informal conversation. To use them in polite conversation they need to be conjugated into their polite forms. と思います and と言います respectively. ☺️
I sort of wrote it in a terrible way. I was thinking い adjective already conjugated into negative, for example たのしくない。Then cut the い and add かった。I should have went with your idea.
I do actually utilize therefore in speech quite a lot, though to be fair, I also admit to being quite weird haha, therefore maybe your comment still stands =P
Hey it's been a year since you asked but I'll reply anyway, maybe other ppl will find it useful. Iru - works like iru/eru verbs So iru is positive, and when we cut the ru and add nai - inai - it's negative. Miteimasen is polite version of miteinai :) adding nai instead of masen is more casual
Why did your clothes and background changed in the middle of the video 😅 The full video has issue with playing as well when I go to checked what happened.
I'm not sure what is wrong with the original. I reported that to YT. =( I managed to forget to include that section in the original slides!! So I recorded it after the fact and included it on the replay. I was so embarrassed! haha
