Ever since you said that you could sound like a psychopath if you don't use ちゃう, I wanted to see a Japanese person's reaction to someone saying "ごめん、殺した". XD
Does anybody else always let the adverts play through? I always feel like I just want these videos to keep coming, so I'll watch a minute long advertisement if it means she's more likely to make more videos.
someone else that i watched said the best way to translate this into english is "I done went and bought Pikachu!" It sounds accented or strange in English but in Japanese it sounds normal.
みさ先生、ありがとうございます. Your Japanese lessons are the most interesting and useful on youtube and I am learning a lot of how to speak more natural Japanese rather than textbook Japanese.
Yaaay, another video! ^W^ Good to see them coming! Your videos showed me how much textbook teaching is different from native Japanese. I had no idea there are so many subtle differences (like in the video "Rude words we use witout knowing..."). Also you are so thorough, you explain every small bit in the examples you use, which helps to REALLY get a grasp of how to construct a sentence. I make notes from all your videos! With you I've learn the most things in a shortest time ever! All my previous lessons didnt teach me stuff as fast and as efficient. You are doing incredible job, literally THE BEST teacher I've ever encountered! ♥ Best wishes to you, and huge Thank you for all the work you do ♥
In my listening practice I’ve heard ちゃった soooo often, so I knew it was important, but I didn’t put two and two together to look for a video on ちゃう, very helpful video!
I want to say I really appreciate all your long in-depth videos. They've been super helpful watching and studying them while I'm taking intensive courses in tokyo. (i'm an exchange student for 1 year at waseda c: )
Thanks for a more intricate grammar lesson, Misa! I guess you're pretty busy but all of these lessons help, I appreciate them. I gotta get some of your merch for the holidays!
with you example of 食べちゃった, like you said it can mean you ate something when it was a bad thing to do, but can't it also mean you ate it all up? like i remember a Japanese person said to me 本を読んでしまいましたか and at first I was confused, like was he suggesting I shouldn't have read it, but then I realized he meant if I had finished reading it. so both senses of shimau do seem to be in use.
it depends on context and also the way its said. You can do the same in english like "i ate all the pie!" (you can sound proud to do so) or "i ate all the pie" (you can sound sad that youo shouldnt have / u broke your diet). Its actually kinda funny how i hear so many japanese students be like "japanese is so confusing!" when teachers say "it depends how u say it" and they dont realize we literally do the exact same thing in english
I can't notice it!! I notice UK accents but I don't notice it with her english. I can usually tell but for some reason I can't with her, at first I thought she learned american english, but she has mentioned england a lot and that's how I found out.
@@frafraplanner9277 Except when it’s not. The language is so specific, the Japanese themselves hate it, so they shorten the sentences every chance they get. Sometimes to a ridiculous level.
another great video thank you. If you could move the subtitle training text up 2 lines it would get out of the way of the RU-vid controls when pausing, and make it easier to take notes. On full screen the last line is blocked and in another mode it's the last two lines. Cheers
You are such a good teacher. You have explained these confusing concepts so clearly and your english is so good! Keep up the good work :) I will be watching all your videos 😀
AKB48 has a song called 夏がいっちゃった. Does that mean "the summer went away even though it didn't want to?" lol I assume it's more like "regrettably, the summer ended" but I like the first translation better.
actually しまう/ちゃった means that something happened or did completely. Like "finished doing something". It actually has nothing to do with regretting in a translated sense. But you can put this しまう/ちゃった grammar in context of regretting. I would rather translate it to "i did something, and it can't be helped anymore now(because its over now and i can't change the situation)." So in your example 夏がいっちゃった. It basically means, "the summer is over now" in a grief feeling sense. like "too bad the summer ended, i had so much fun, but it can't be helped".
Thank you Misa ^^ I became very lazy about learning Japanese lately, but watching your videos is fun so I think I can get back into it. Really appreciate your efforts
@16:41 This line is said in a favorite anime of mine "Jibaku Shōnen Hanako-kun." It's one of my favorite moments in the show. It's so cool to see it in action XD
Misa-sensei: How to stop sounding like a robot Robots watching this video: Write that down! Write that down! みさ先生：ロボットのように話すことをやめ方。 見ているロボット：この書けて！この書けて！
さすが、Great lesson as always, Misa-sensei. If I am not mistaken, the ~ちゃえ construction can succinctly be translated into English as: "DEW IT", ha ha ha. Palpatine: "Good. Kill him." Anakin: "I shouldn't...it's not the Jedi way." Palpatine: しちゃえ！
