One thing worth adding to this already incredibly thorough video is that it‘s only natural to struggle with the は and が distinction because 1) English has no topic marker and 2) The topic and topic marker は in Japanese are often dropped because context suffices most of the time in the middle of a conversation. I‘m so excited for the next vocab episode!!

@dethswurl117 Год назад

This is a fantastic explanation of が! I'd also highly recommend Cure Dolly's perspective on が, in that, when it's missing from a sentence, the subject is instead inferred by the listener. When this happens, the subject often ends up being whatever was marked by は This idea really helped me understand _why_ は doesn't just sometimes randomly replace が. は always introduces information and が always marks who does the verb

@dethswurl117 Год назад

A good example for anyone who actually read that ^ A waiter at a restaurant turns to you and asks "What would you like?" You respond with: 私はピザです Oh no, does the waiter think you just said "I am pizza"? This is where the difference between は and が really comes into play 私は - introduces you into the sentence ピザです - literally means "is pizza" So the waiter assumes that the subject is pizza This translates in English to "As for me, is pizza", which doesn't sound nearly as awkward in Japanese as it does in English For what it's worth, if you said 「私がピザです」 you'd genuinely be saying "I am pizza", which I guess is a fun thing to say within itself

@smudge8882 Год назад

Thank you for this! I feel like this is a topic that can't be explained too many times. It's so confusing for English speakers and your explanations make it much easier to understand. I'll probably re-watch this video periodically until I can internalize all this 😊

Agreed!

僕が英語を勉強し始めてちょうど1年ぐらい経つと思いますが、久しぶりにGame Gengoさんのチャンネルを観て懐かしくなりました。僕がたった1文の英語も分からなかった時に、何か面白い教材は無いかと色々探し回った結果がこのRU-vidチャンネルで、毎日2時間も3時間も動画を観続けてひたすらに英語の基礎力を上げ続けた毎日でした。今はある程度英語力が付いたので、政治とかの専門的なものもかなり分かるようになってきました。中高の英語教育では言語学的な専門用語を詰め込まれただけだったので英語は好きじゃなかったし英語力も全く付かなかったんですけど、この1年間思い切って文法学習をほぼ完全に捨てて、僕の好きな映画とかゲームとかの話を英語で聞きまくるようにしたら今までじゃ考えられないぐらい英語力が身に付きました。大学の授業も英語が必修なんですが、嫌いだった以前と180度変わって1番好きな授業になれました。振り返れば、僕の人生の中で英語学習に最も貢献してくれたのがこのチャンネルでした。本当にありがとうございます。また何度でもこのチャンネルに戻ってきて、初心を思い出しながら更なる英語学習に励みたいと思います。

@stellary98 Год назад

This is the thing i still get wrong sometimes in phrases and texts, even though I've studied japanese for some years now, and this is by far the clearest explanation I've come across in a while. Your videos in general are a huge blessing for all japanese learners

@AkaiNiwatori1 10 месяцев назад

が doesn’t usually point a finger at anything unless you’re literally trying to correct someone on what something is/doing (refer to your explanation at 4:28) For the most part, が doesn’t do much except what you say at the very beginning: connecting to a verb. What is doing the doing? は is the particle is more implying that it is not dogs that are raining but rain itself and often is more of a pointer. I like to explain to people that は implies or instigates

@lazarossuleimanoglou2426 Год назад

Great as always!

@InStiNctWalRus Год назад

Thank you so much for making these videos. Honestly a blessing that the algorithm recommended you. Every video I've watched of yours is easily the easiest to understand for these otherwise would be very complicated grammar points!

Its amazing explanation....❤

matt.... here is the thing for you lol.... your into the details and that's why youre so far my fav Japanese teacher haha... Lately , I keep watching ur stuff and I started to study something in Chinese as well, the best of both worlds.wakakakaka.

Surprised this wasn’t one of the 1st grammar videos uploaded lol. Anyway, currently binging the N3 Grammar playlist. So helpful!

@GameGengo Год назад

Haha yeah for sure! I'm following the Genki order atm for these new N5 videos and their order is terrible haha they teach のが before が! Madness haha

@SandraSuesser Год назад

Thank you! :) Currently I am really confusing ga with wo particle a lot though as I am learning new verbs ^^". Could you do a video about the difference there?

@smudge8882 Год назад

I recommend you look into the video Cure Dolly did on this. She did a great job explaining it! I recommend using subtitles, though, because her voice can be difficult to understand.

@totalme302 11 месяцев назад

I think the summary for diffence between は and が will be that "Wa" is used for general subject marking. But "Ga" is used for more pointing or specific subject marking (like it is 'Wa' but with more intensity).

@nilescho2688 Год назад

Could you explain が vs けど. I understand が is the subject marker but Ik you can also use it for contrasting and saying but

@ThreeKes Год назад

けど has a more casual feel to it, while が feels pretty formal and direct. Both are „but“ and both can be used for the sentence „ender“ ですが... / だけど... Same meaning, just a different feel to it. Similar to „but“ and „however“ maybe.

@mastapimp189 Год назад

I thought the "no" at the end of a sentence was more kind of what did the pointing, giving the explanatory tone. Interesting the emphasis that "ga" gives

@joejo4549 Год назад

I saw from your Twitter you lived in Kyoto, do you ever do in person classes

@kimberrwolf 5 месяцев назад

Can you do a distinction between が and を？ I know it’s a difference if the object is doing it vs I or someone (雨が降ってる) Or ドアが閉まります。ドアを閉まります。)

@southcoastinventors6583 Год назад

How many grammar points are there I heard it was like 200 more or less ?

@GameGengo Год назад

In my grammar database (link in the description) there is over 700 grammar points, but I've heard bunpro has even more. I'll be going through every resource I can find and making sure my database has ALL points on it eventually. With detailed breakdowns/lookup function available on the discord.

@RockChampEnglish Год назад

in n4, there are 230-250 grammar points. I am studying it, that's why I know. The way I study changed a whole lot after meeting matt, It might be better in the long run, if you just study the grammar, and watch whatever you can rather than sticking to one textbook. But it's obviously slower this way if your aim is JLPT

@southcoastinventors6583 Год назад

@@RockChampEnglish JLPT should not be the goal it should be understanding/speaking about the content you find interesting. If you do that then taking some test will be trivial and I would only ever take the highest one in Japan since it cheaper. Text books aren't for me I use native electronic content, RU-vid and ChatGPT to learn Japanese.

@RenKohana 8 месяцев назад

1:27 I'm confused by this part of the video. Coffee is not performing the verb... Coffee does not want to drink itself. Shouldn't "coffee" be marked with を? And "I" be marked with が? So instead it would be 私がコーヒーを飲みたい

@GameGengo 8 месяцев назад

That's a great question! According to numerous Japanese explanations online, the reason seems to be because "日本語では、目的語「対象各」をしめすのに　動詞は「を」・形容詞は「が」を使う水を飲む（動詞）水が欲しい（形容詞） www.nihongo-books.com/items/mizu_nomitai/" Which means, を is used to mark the target of action (used with verbs at the end like 飲む to drink) "I drink water - 水を飲む" が is used with adjectives like 欲しい to want, so a literal translation would be 'X is what is wanted to be drunk" or "I want to drink X"　水を飲みたい In this example コーヒーが飲みたい, the TAI form is actually considered an adjective, as its describing information about the coffee "Coffee is what is wanted to be drunk (by me)"

@RenKohana 8 месяцев назад

@@GameGengo Thank you! That explanation made a lot of sense. I was also looking more into this myself. I really appreciate the video and your time to comment. I better understand the use of が, especially when they're used with verbs that express desire.

@ParanormalBanana Год назад

complete illiterate here so forgive me but at 3:30 I hear "ho shi na shi ne ba" and not "ho shi GA shi ne ba". It's impossible to bring myself to hear, even slightly, the particle "ga" in this sentence. is that a pro nunciation thing, like "ha/wa" ?

@GameGengo Год назад

I can hear it very clearly, so I think it may just be a pronunciation thing? the が is being kinda squashed between 星 and 死ねば a bit maybe? But I can see what you mean where he isn't saying with as much emphasis as I might in teacher-mode.

@ParanormalBanana Год назад

@@GameGengo okay then I've got some more listening comprehension practice to do! Thank you sensei
