❗New video on the て-form just came out, click here to watch now! kzread.info/dash/bejne/enWYz62hhs28o5s.html ❗ I MADE A MISTAKE! Important note about i-engine sentences. 9:04 I said in the video that I am specifically referring to 形容詞。 Except some things like たい & ない are not 形容詞。 I also called たい "helper adjectives" but there's more to it than that. Furthermore, I also said たい is not a verb, but that's only half true. What I should have said was _イ形容詞_ which would have cleared a lot of things up。 i-ending sentences need an イ形容詞 at the end. イ形容詞 includes: - All 形容詞 (adjectives, examples at 9:57) - 補助形容詞 (helper adjectives, eg. ほしい & ない) - 複合形容詞 (compound adjectives, eg. やすい) - 助動詞 (helper VERBS. Ignore the Japanese name, treat them as adjectives) ^ Eg. たい Both 補助形容詞 & 複合形容詞 are just types of 形容詞。 Again, you need an イ形容詞 at the end of an i-engine sentence, NOT a JUST 形容詞。 11:50 is misleading because not everything on this list is a "Helper Adjective". Certainly in English we can say this, but TECHINICALLY speaking, it is NOT a "Helper Adjective" (補助形容詞), it is a "Helper Verb" (助動詞). I think we should still refer to all of these as "Helper Adjectives" in the English way as that makes understanding it a lot easier. We don't have to see all these as 3 different categories- including one "helper verb" which doesnt act like a verb, we can just say they are all 1 thing. Helper Adjectives.

What gets when learning Japanese is not the grammar but the vocabulary. When I listen to Japanese I understand the structure of the sentence very well, but one you miss the meaning of the engine the whole thing escapes you.

that is because you probably already have a good grammar understanding. To understand Japanese we need both: vocabulary and a decent grammar knowledge (doesn't matter if we learn it by pure practice or studying the theory, but we need to know it).

You certainly won’t understand every Japanese sentence by applying one simple trick - unless that trick is to learn about 10,000 words, the entire grammar set - combined with enough real world experience to apply your knowledge in real time.

Cure Dollys Videos contributed so much to my grammar understanding No other grammar ressource comes close in my opinion The way she explains why japanese works how it works through the underlying logic in such short videos I miss you Cure Dolly Sensei, Rest in Peace 🙏

Often, the most simplistic explanation of complicated things are the best to use. Simplifying the complex requires deep understanding of the complex.

Currently studying to take N1 but I found myself revising videos like these to review the basics and I’m loving it! I wish I had videos like these when I was starting out with studying Japanese ❤

I’m so happy you know who cure dolly is! I thought of her when you put the train carts in your grammar lesson! That felt nostalgic! あと、長い時間に日本語を勉強しているけど、まだ日本語の使い方が下手だと思もいます。笑　動画を作ってくれてありがとうございます😊

This video is amazing. I get the feeling I will be loving your content. Learning grammatical structure is something I love.

Great explanation!

Thanks for pointing me towards Cure Dolly sensei's lessons, I was getting discouraged after learning Japanese vocabulary/sentences for 2 years and still not getting any better at understanding how they're made, I think I'm at day 3 of going through her lessons and I think I'm finally getting it 😢

I really appreciate your videos

Wow. That video really connected some loose ends in my Japanese knowledge!

I now have a deeper understanding and I can see clearly now. This may be the video that someone needs to get past grammar slumps

Dollys approach really resonates with me and I stay far away from the typical textbooks, but do you know of any formal literature that also teaches this approach?

You're welcome! The way textbooks teach "conjugation" where 食べたい is considered one single entity is really quite confusing isn't it.

Actually they only have one sentence: the kind that comes out of their mouth. Once you understand that one thing then you are golden. Brilliant!!!

GREAT Lesson !!! 😊Thank you for making it. Patrick from Bethesda, Maryland, USA

This was super helpful. Thank you! Now, though, I'm wondering about the whole が・は thing. If 「は」marks the topic of the sentence, when would I say さくらが歩いた vs さくらは歩いた？ I learned that 「が」gives more emphasis to the person's name, versus to the rest of the sentence, such as in 「A:誰が歩いた？B:さくらが歩いた」but of course there is much more to this debate.

Curedolly. RIP

When would you use である to connect a noun/na adjective to another noun instead of な?

上手 (じょうず) -- I would translate that as _adept_ or _expert_ rather than saying, "someone that is skilled-at but a noun." Like, there won't always be a good word in English for it, but I think if you introduce a less common word that is a noun in English, overtime it can help people accept that we don't always have those words and then gradually do it automatically rather than running to English for a direct translation.

This was INCREDIBLY useful. Subscribed 👍

Respectfully, where did you read/learn that the -tai suffix is an adjective? I've been taking Japanese lessons for the past 2 years and I've always been taught it's a verb form. Thanks in advance and thanks for taking the time to make these videos.

To see proof of this, just look at the way it functions and conjugates further. It is, in every way, exactly like an i-adjective-including the part where it ends in i!

Currently in that weird phase where i understand alot of words in a sentence but cant understand whats been said

Oh, I just realized. 3:53 動詞 is ど↑うし not what I said, ど↓うし

Excellent. Fast for me 'cos English isn't my natural language, but it doesn't matter.

I suggest grabbing a sheet of paper and just start mapping out what he´s talking about and make your own overview. Remember you shouldn´t try to have all this memorized asap, just use it on your way to understanding more and check with sentences you don´t understand in your overview and you can figure them out. Over time it becomes natural. 頑張ってください!

@JouzuJuls

Жыл бұрын

Don't worry man, I was literally in the same boat as you. I didn't know what nouns verbs or adjectives were either. Yet there I was a few months later able to re-explain what they are to other people! A little bit of work and you can do it too, if you give up on such a small hurdle, you aren't gonna make it in the long run anyway. . Take this chance as an opportunity! Instead of learning what "Nouns" and "Verbs" are- why not learn their Japanese names instead- which ACTUALLY tell you what they do? . 名詞 [めいし] (Noun) - Literally means "name term". It means "objects" or "things". Something that you can put a name onto. "りんご (Apple)" "ジョン (John)" "金曜日 (Friday)" " 水 (Water)" "散歩 (a stroll)". All 名詞. . 動詞 [どうし] (Verb) - Literally means "action term". It means "action" or "movement". Something that someone/something does. "あるく (walk)" "はしる (run)" "する (do)" "あそぶ (play)" "いく (go)". All 動詞. . 形容詞 [けいようし] (Adjective) - Literally means "shape form term". It means something that "describes (shapes)" another thing. "おおき (big)" "ちいさい (small)" "あたらしい (new)" "ふるい (old)" "かしこい (smart)". All 形容詞. . Remember that what is considered a noun, verb, or adj in English is not necessarily the same in Japanese. Same vice versa. So when learning Japanese, it really doesn't matter what something is in English, it DOES matter to know what it is in Japanese.

Working at a Japanese call center, I can tell you japanese people do not understand 100% of japanese sentences. Its not really grammar or sentence patterns (although there are some terribly jumbled ones) thats the problem, but vocab, complicated procedures (ie lots of information that needs to be remembered), needless extra information, and when talking on the phone, the inability of people to speak clearly or calmly. Granted, 99% of sentences are understood, but its not 100%.

i was expecting the advice to use google translate :P

If you would allow me a suggestion, your message will come out more clearly, you'll make less mistakes and what you are trying to convey will be understood more easily, if you S L O W D O W N a bit. You speak way too fast, and your slides go by too quickly. Just a suggestion, from someone who's learning.
