Spoiler: I am sorry, he died, turning into a zombie.

i like the fact that he used a lot of examples to explain how to use something in a conversation, i could understand without actually focusing more on the actual rule of it

Shortly before finally watching this video, I binged a romantic drama called 君に届け. Late in the series, the female lead meets the male lead's father, and then and at several later points the male lead comments on his father seeming to like her... using 気に入る. Learning of the nuance is very interesting considering the characterization of the father and how his son sees him. The father is a very strict type, the kind of father who struggles with actually showing any kind of positive emotion towards his son, leading the son to believe his father doesn't actually like him. Each time he says his father likes the female lead, it has an undertone of "at least he likes one of us". So to then also have this "he thinks he'll use you" nuance on top of that makes it pretty neat as a dialogue detail that gets lost in translation to some extent.

i was literally just listening to a song that uses 気に入らない and was confused by it, i love your videos and they are helping me so much in my studies, ありがとう先生！！！

Me too!! 気に入らないの 燃えるように競い咲いても (Polkadot Stingray - Ichidaiji)

Kaname strikes again with the clearest explanations EVER! Another note, but I found taking the direct translation to be very helpful for understanding it's usage. 気 (ki) is from Chinese "qi" meaning kind of like your "positive/life energy" or "residuals of your positive energy." So in the phrase, 気に入る , the 入る means "enter." So if you 気に入る something, it can be directly translated to "your qi has enetered this thing or person." When "qi" enters something else, that "something else" has become a part of you in some way. It has your "mark" on it. Just like if you wear a shirt, and then someone else wears it, you can still use 気に入る because your "qi" is all over it. You can kind of think of it like your own scent, just like how animals use their scent to mark something that is theirs (especially territory). A more pleasant way to think about it is like you have paint on your hands and the 気に入る thing is something you touch with your paint-soaked hands. Now that it has your paint on it, it has become part of you, something that you will use or find use for continually in the future. I hope this explanation helps someone, or at least provides a bit more of a "direct translation" understanding! As always thank you Kaname for your wonderful teachings! :) Much love!

@Rationalific

10 ай бұрын

If I understand correctly, it may be that the other thing has entered your "ki"... Usually, the particle "に" means that prior word is the destination. So I think it may be that the other thing has now entered your "ki". I'd think that "気が（X に）入る" (if it were a phrase) would be closer to your "ki" going into something else. However, 1) I may very well be wrong, and even if I'm right, 2) your explanation still makes some sense, but just in the opposite direction.

@@Rationalific I like your point! It could be flipped on its head and viewed in a similar way. Ofc I'm no fancy professor or anything but I see 気に入る where に is a target location particle. I.e. 「そのビルに入る」where ビル (building) is being entered (by someone or something) and not that the building is entering someone. Idk if that makes complete sense but it's cool to look at it both ways and still have it make sense one way or another loll

​@@KUMA_Japanese This is interesting, there is a German idiom "to lock X into one's heart" but you can only use it for people and similarly "animated" things, because it means that you have grown extremely fond of that person in a way that is not romantic, but still inappropriate in a professional setting. It is often used in somewhat asymmetric relations that took a while to develop, like Heidi and the Grandfather.

Ki ni suru means YOU keep it in your ki/mind *by yourself*, willingly or not it's an action. You literally "mind" it. Ki ni shinai de = don't worry, stop doing the action of worrying Ki ni naru means it made you interested. It became something in your mind by itself. It interests you, by itself, because it's interesting

So, it's kind of like "favorite" in English. It's kind of weird to say: "That shirt [you're wearing] is my favorite!" Because it implies that you've worn that shirt before. 気に入り = favorite 好き = like Obviously there may be more nuance, but that's the closest direct translation I could come up with.

JMdict and KireiCake's dictionaries seem to translate 気に入る as "to be pleased with" or "to suit", and the shirt example makes the most sense there. You don't really say "I'm pleased with your shirt" unless you wear that person's shirt but also "I'm pleased with this bar" or "I'm pleased with this seat" works as well.

Here is how the teacher taught us 気に入る: You have been using 好き so far, now let's stop using it and let's step up to 気に入る.

Thank you so much for the video! It was very helpful. One thing I'd really appreciate is a video showcasing the different words that use 気. 気がする、気がづく、気が済む、気にする、気に留める、気を付ける、気を配る、気を遣う、気を引く。。。There are so many! And I've realized that native Japanese speakers are much more likely to use one of these phrases than words with similar meanings.

As usual this is so very helpful! The examples really help and I love the time you put into the kanji and furigana. The length is good. It gives enough time to help me understand all the nuances and subtext.

I like that your videos are not only very easy to understand and you somehow have a smooth way to help me memorize the things you teach me but it's also super fun to watch! Keep going!😊👏

when i learned this phrase it got translated with "to like and be pleased with" which i think captures the "being used" part quite well!

I think it's helpful to keep the literal meaning of ki in mind when it's used in expressions. So it makes sense that some of your ki or spirit would only be inside something that you've used often.

From my own understanding, さすがに is used when you're expressing that something was just as you expected, or just as it should be. An example I have is from a video game I've played, where if you do things to make a certain friend happy, she'll say "さすが友達よね〜" which means "As expected from a friend~". It can be used to indicate sarcasm too (when someone didn't do what they were expected to). That Japanese Man Yuuta made a video explaining that term if you're interested in looking on his channel. The video was called "how to be sarcastic in Japanese".

Wooaaaaahhhh. So accurate and I am always looking forward to watching the new video. 💯💯💯💯💯👏👏👏
