@@noholla Nope, careful there! The は is used as the topic marker (it shows the main theme of the sentence, what is being talked about, the TOPIC of the conversation). For example, "I'm drinking coffee" is "私は、コーヒーを飲む"[Watashi wa kouhii wo nomu]. Usually, you don't have to show the "私は"[watashi wa] bit. The literal translation is "As for me, to drink coffee". So は is not really showing the subject, but it is rather showing that the point of the sentence is that I am the topic of the conversation, that we're talking about me. It is true that in this particular sentence I am also (possibly) the subject, but here is the thing: Japanese simply does not mark the subject, and you get it by context. The phrase "As for me, to drink coffee" at a first thought might mean "I drink coffee", and in can mean that in Japanese, but consider this conversation: 明菜：「憲司くんは、朝、大抵運動する。」 Akina: "As for Kenji-kun, morning, physical exercise to do" 千里：「私は、コーヒーを飲む」 Chisato: "As for me, to drink coffee" As you can see, in the second sentence, Chisato meant drinking coffee is what she likes to do as she wakes up, not that she is doing it. To clarify even further that this is the topic, not the subject, consider the following sentences: "As for today, tough test" 「今日は、大変な試験。」 "As for the spoon, ate" 「スプーンは、食べた。」 "As for the aisle, scary" 「廊下は、怖い。」 Would you really consider these words with the は as subjects, or as conversation themes? Lastly, を vs は. The を particle is very simple, it governs the direct object of a verb. Pretty straightforward. "To drink beer." 「ビールを飲む。」 "To look at a woman." 「女の人を見る。」 But the direct object can also be the subject. While talking about coffee, you can say you drink it, for instance. In this case, は replaces を. "As for coffee, to drink" 「コーヒーは、飲む。」 "To drink coffee" 「コーヒーを飲む。」 Yup, coffee is the direct object in both sentences. But only in the first one it is emphasized, or put as the main subject of a sentence, as if the whole conversation is about coffee, and in the second one the coffee drinking is really a piece of a talk about something else (maybe a man describing what his wife usually does, so the woman is the actual topic, previously pointed out or understood by context somewhere else in the conversation. Now, let me grab my mug, 'cause I'm desperate for coffee!

this made me realize how complicated and weird the English prepositions "at" and "in" are too. consider the following sentences: "I left my book AT home." "Where IN your house did you leave it?" "IN my room. It sucks because I wanted to read it AT the park after school. i cant get it now because I am IN class." "if you were not AT school right now you could go get it." How would you explain to a non English speaker when to use "at" and when to use "in"?

@rauloropeza_

As a Professor of English I usually tell my students that the rule of thumb is that you use 'at' when doing the action related to the place your are in, and not just being in the place, like: I'm at the bank. (I'm doing a transaction or I work there) I'm at school (I'm studying or I work there) I'm in the bank (I'm just inside the building but I might not be doing anything) Now, that said, I always clarify that there are exceptions and they should just learn them and memorize them, like "I'm at home."

@KabooM1067

Exactly! We use these things without thinking. I use English as a second language and I have no issues with these prepositions at all. When you pick them up in natural contexts instead of studying them logically and trying to apply them, you find them very easy to use later on. These videos are good for getting a feeling for it but not for implementation. If someone doesn't get the video content, don't worry about it and listen to more Japanese. Eventually you will get it whether you want to or not. Your brain will force you to get it.

(30:49 - bookmark only) I gotta say this video is THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE lesson there is for particle ni and de. I learned so much and understood SO MUCH! Thank you! ❤️

I am currently a Highschool student in Japan. And honestly, I don’t know what I would do without your videos. Thank you so much💕💕

By the first 5 mins she could've stopped and I would have had a crystal clear answer to my question...but she went on for 45 mins more to truly answer my questionS and fully enlighten me in things I didn't even know I had questions for.

I've been studing japanese for the last two year. And well, this is by far the best explanation between に and で. Thank you sou mucha, Misa.

Misa sensei please create videos for jlpt, love you'r videos. They are like super helpful 😊

I've always thought it in a simple way: particle "ni" is used to pinpoint a place, to set it apart from others; particle "de" is used when you're at the place to "use it" - like being at the bar for drinking, people are there with intent to use the space for its services. Stupid example: 今朝モールに行きました。(i went to the mall this morning. That's my destination, still didn't use it for anything) 今朝モールで買い物しました。(this morning i went shopping at the mall. In this case I used the place to execute my action, shopping).

Thank you for your explanation, Misa sensei! After years I've been confused about the concept of で and に, now I understand them better! After watching this video, I tried to break the differences down by paying attention to the nuance and emotion. I think why で is used along with action verbs? Because で implies that the action takes place in the exact place. For example, "I eat in the restaurant." 'in' in this sentence is 'で' because 'eat' happens in a certain spot; where seat do I eat, where do the seat exist: in the north part of the restaurant, south part, or else, etc. Same goes with 'to sleep', as to why does it use で, because sleeping takes place in the exact place. When we sleep on the bed, it means that we're always on the bed while sleeping. It indicates the concept of a certain spot I've mentioned above. We use で when we say "I bought manga on Amazon." because the place we bought the manga is very clear; "Amazon is the place where I bought the manga." (but not to be mistaken with the concept of が). We use で when we want to tell that there was an event because the event took place in the exact place. After understanding that で is also used when we say 'with (something)/by using (something)', I kind of sense that で has a stronger or tighter nuance than に in terms of 'in/at (place)'. Why? Because using で in 'with (something)/by using (something)' means that we tend to focus on what method/tool do we use, not on what we're doing. For example, "I eat with a chopstick." then we kind of focused on 'the chopstick', not 'I eat' because the presence of 'the chopstick' is strong; "Chopstick is the tool I use when eating." Maybe the proper concept isn't like that as it could be mistaken with the concept of が, it's just what I feel about the nuance of で, correct me if I'm wrong. Because of で has a stronger nuance in terms of 'in/at (place)', the usage of で isn't as much as に. I found out that に has so many concepts, it can means 'on/in/at/to/from (in もらう)'. Then I kind of sense that に has a lighter or more abstract nuance in terms of 'in/at (place)' than で. If で indicates that the action takes place in the exact place (the focus is 'the exact spot'), then に indicates that the verb is happening somewhere (the focus is 'somewhere but the exact spot is unknown/not important to know/not the focus here'). If I could visualize it, で implies a dot, while に implies the area surrounding the dot. That's why に is used along with presence verbs(?) such as 'to live', 'to exist', 'to stand', etc. When we put the same idea above into this sentence, "I live in Tokyo." the concept is less like "Tokyo is the place where I live (usage of で)." but more like "Tokyo is somewhere I live (usage of に)." Maybe because of the indirectness, Japanese people tend not to tell their exact address when they were being asked by someone. The idea of 'に is the more abstract way to tell a place' is working in this context, and I think this also works when we use に in terms of telling time (at 7 o'clock, in October, etc.) because time is intangible (abstract). When understanding に, I tend to find out the 'basic' meaning of に as 'to' so the concept of に (for me) means 'directions/where to/whom to'. I tend to see the usage of に in 'to stand' as 'where do I step my foot onto', so that's why 'to stand' uses に. The same goes for 'to sit on' although it considered as action verbs. Maybe that's why the に in verbs like 'to live', 'to stay', 'to exist', etc. could be mean 'where do I step my foot onto' because 'to live', 'to stay', 'to exist' always happen when we step on the certain place first, or it may because of the indirectness thing. But when it comes to verbs like 'to return', 'to go home', etc., I think the concept of に as 'directions' is obvious. Because of it, I kind of understand why does もらう use に to imply 'from'? I think because it's part of the Japanese culture of appreciating someone's giving. に in もらう means 'this is the person who gives me something and I want to repay him/her later'. If we use から, it seems like we don't see the giver as a whole person or we just take the giving for granted, no intention to appreciate or to repay the giver's sacrifice of giving something he/she has to us. When it comes to 'whom we appreciate/repay', it indicates the concept of 'directions', so we use に! The same goes for あげる and くれる because the culture of giving and taking contains a life lesson that we have to help each other, share the happiness we have, or simply we live with others so we considered as being selfish if we just take the giving for granted and selfish is a bad thing we should avoid. This is just only my perception and my way to understand the nuance and emotion of で and に better so I could minimalize my mistakes. If there's something wrong please correct me because I'm also still learning (and not Japanese myself so I'm not so sure about the culture part, I was using my imagination).

It is very helpful when you match the colors with the words. 😁

One of the most useful things to me (aside from the main topic of the lesson) is when you discuss the differences between similar verbs. In this video, for example, 勤める、仕事する and 働く along with 昨日の夜 and 昨夜 now make more sense to me. I run into this all the time not even from a “why are they different” but “is one only for formal speech?.” Sometimes the dictionary helps with differences but not always how common/formal a word is. I hope you continue to do that or even more of it! I’m looking forward to the transitive/intransitive video! Thank you so much! ヽ(^o^)
