Past Tense DESHITA | Japanese From Zero! Video 23 

Hatachi means 20 yrs old. Hitachi is the company. 20th day of the month is Hatsuka.

@@Melbester9 he's joking because of the naruto joke made in that vid

@@Vaedyx when he said 20, i said IIE FURU-TSU DESU . I'm definitely not obnoxious. I promise.

@@yatapaws lol

KawaiiJoaco my fathers company is actually working with Hitachi, *noice*

Did you end up buying them?

You mean informal perhaps. That is covered in Book 2 lesson 9 or 10. Let me know if that isn’t what you meant.

400 to Fab vocab for me, I downloaded a list of the JLPT5 and I study those words. Maybe that can help!

hummm. you should check his website,(course 1 is free there,the same content as book one)

Caihong li Yes! Its "Ao" and not "Oa"

Unko happens.

learning a language can make you laugh at a bathroom joke xD

@@japanesefromzero how about... くそ happens lol

I don't think he plays pokemon go anymore but it's understandable because "it died out" but he's still a Pokemon fan and you occasionally will see some Pokemon's or pokemon references in his video's!

lol

As someone who speaks Portuguese (native) and English fluently, most of the time I spend on the Internet and alone I think in English. But, in social situations, I think in Portuguese.

Álvaro Lopes Other way round for me. I think in English in social situ7and my antics language when alone...

nan desu ka is What is it. Desu is simply It is, He is, She is, They are. Just a present or future tense positive To Be. Ka at the end makes it a question.

+Professsor Sorry my context wasn't clear. I meant to say what is the difference between ピカチュが大好きなんですか？ and ピカチュウが大好きですか？ . Seeing the end with なんですか and ですか, respectively.

+nihongometal Thank You so much. I'll just keep using "desuka" for now until that lesson. Also, I never knew konbanwa ended with a は same goes to konnichiwa! Thank you for explaining ^_^

I don't plan the streams since I am so busy doing other things. I normally create the power points then immediately do the stream. Sorry it isn't planned.

It's fine. No worries. I just dont want to miss your streams. Youre entertaining and fun as you are. I'll try to catch your streams when it happens.

Are you one of the ones he calls out for not watching the whole video???

sasclom2 I think that uses it without the small yu,because it sounds nicely. also, when you want to type your name in katakana, it's better to type it how it sounds the best, am I explaining?

It doesn't matter how your name sounds really. It matters that if your name is common it is historically written a certain way in katakana. George is always ジョージ.

Yep

はい正しいです Yeah thats correct 👌

Yuki Kajiura is on my top 5 artists of all time.

No. Just the English requires it to be past tense. If you use でした here it would almost be like saying "What year did you used to be born in?" In Japanese they are saying "In what year ARE you born?"

Lol I appreciate the response I've been using hellotalk recently so I got a lot of answers there is well just one of those quirky things

It's あお (noun) or あおい (adjective). おあ was a typo.

" chigau " is plain form of ちがいます

Like I said, "Im learning from different sources." I'm not only learning from his videos. Next time try not to be a Dick about it. I was curious is all, This was for my information, not the other viewers.

Well as far as I remember from watching this new series. I don't recall him saying anything about bringing up stuff not related to the series. I do remember him stating he didn't like the fact that ppl were asking a question about something that he just covered or asking a question that was in the same video they commented on. Second, yes i do know the meaning for both, reason why I asked was because the situation he gave the example for. I didn't quite get why he would say "what was it?" when I thought it would be "what happened?" If someone would yell and say dammit its gone. you wouldn't say "what was it?" Normally in english you say "whats gone? what happened? or whats wrong? Given that Japanese is all about context and situations I wanted to know what was different for that example. I'm not good in Japanese, I will make mistakes, Which is why I asked George the question. If I wanted to ask other viewers for their opinions I would say "Hey does any know why blah blah blah for that part in the video?" But I didn't, I asked the person teaching it.

Well even in English they are both different phrases. If your friend asks なんでしたか then the know you were freaked out because of some type of Pokemon appearing. But if they don't know why you freaked out they would say どうしたの？ what happened???

Exactly...And that is what I wanted to know. I know you don't want us to jump to far ahead, and not mess up the way your teaching. But sometimes I do get lost, and I need to find another way around it. Eventually, I do come back to it, and understand it the second time around. Thank you George for getting back to theism really appreciate the time.

Ok JapaneseMetal....I get what your saying...and like he says, sometimes when you get lost, you need to move forward..but not too far ahead. Im not giving any answers, I'm not trolling either. I do get lost sometimes and get super frustrated, I move on to something a little more ahead of what I'm learning. It benefits me more that way, even more so when I come back to something I couldn't grasp. Im not arguing with you, Im letting you know my learning style. Everyone learns differently, some ppl will pick up these teaching methods better than others. I just wanted to know why he used the example that way. and he explained that if the person knew of what happened vs if the person didn't know what happened.

aka is atrongly connected to the noun than akai. it's like a word.akai kuruma just expresses a car whose color is red but akawain is a kind of wine

yes, "japanese from zero"

My adhd prevents me from remembering months, names, and dates...

@@Fennetic Same, all 3 of those are really hard haha. Names I just learn through repetition and seeing that person a lot. But I've forgotten the names of friends so many times lol!

だった is the informal version of でした。

Learn Japanese From Zero! I know :p from だ. I don't know how i missed でした, then i forgot that です is a verb so it seem so obviuous

She was my everything for a while.

Wow the video only had a few seconds left anyways LOL
