I love your dialogue. It is really authentic. I have to slow it down to .75% to understand. I feel like Japanese can be a very nuanced language and you don’t hold back. Please keep doing it! I am learning so much. I want to listen to your dialogue for hours.

This is one of the only Japanese language study channels where I can FEEL the meaning of the words/phrases/grammar constructions, you really bring it to life. Your presentation and examples are brilliant :)

「なる」と「する」だからbecomeとdoの違いでしょ？簡単じゃん。って思った人が多いと思う。あるいは、passiveとactiveの違いじゃーんって思った人も多いと思う。 だけど、実は根本的な意味自体が変わるんですね。 「気になる」の意味は、「注意を引く」「興味がある」「知りたい」が中心的で、そこから「恋愛対象として意識している」(be interested in someone romantically)の意味があったり、「心配である」の意味がある感じですね。 これに対して、「気にする」は基本的に 「心配する、懸念する」という意味です。場合によっては「配慮する」の意味もあります。例えば、「時間を気にする」と言えば間に合わなくなるかもしれないと不安に思うという意味なのが普通ですが、場合によってはそういう精神的な意味はなく、間に合うように時間を意識するという意味になります。でもそういう場合は「時間に気をつける」と言うことの方が多いです。

These videos are jam packed with such context and information that text books lack so much. Thank you so much for all your hard work!

These are really useful grammar patterns, and really appreciate the work you put into examples and fuller conversations. Thanks so much Kaname!

this is so good. Ive been learning japanese for 20 years and I always felt a lot of gaps that prevented me to fully understand anything except the simplest of manga. Things that you can't learn from a dictionary or a grammar book, so i could communicate fluently at a basic level but there was an invisible ceiling to my abilities. You are diligently filling those gaps, one by one.

何回も見ていて、シャドウウィングして、日本人のように話せるようになりたいので。こんなにいい動画作ってくださってありがとうございます😊

I’ve been studying Japanese for a few years and found your channel recently. I found your dialogues very helpful. You did an excellent job in explaining the phrase using lots of examples, and how it could be used in different situations. Your teaching method is the same as how people learn Japanese as their first language. Instead of translating things into Japanese from another language, the examples show what Japanese people would say in those situation.

This is very useful, thank you. To be clear, 気になる has a much broader semantic field than "curious" (which has a trivial, unserious air) and may often be better translated/understood just as "(really) want to know".

It's fun to learn Japanese in such a detailed way! 😊 Very easy to understand.

I’m living for the drama at the end

Kanameさんの対話を見るのが大好きです。そして、使用例をたくさん提供してくれるので、その使い方がとても分かりやすくなります。「ありがとうございます」と「ありがとうございました」の使い方についての対話を提供していただけませんか？

love your classes. the books are so unprepared for these type of nuances... it's a shame... thank you!

The goat is back

I always thanks KZread sama for introducing me to this lovely teacher with a very excellent, detailed and well articulated explanation ❤❤❤❤❤❤ and great acting of course❤

Amazing explanations as always. I think your viewers would also be interested in a breakdown of how / when to use the ending particle な which you used in examples in this video. Most intermediate level speakers would understand the usage of "don't" as in XXXと言うな！ but even myself living in Japan for 7 years and considering myself fluent, I don't fully understand the nuance of な as an ending particle such as in this video when you said 気になるなぁー edit: typos

@KingCloudsCape

9 ай бұрын

Living in japan seven years your level is likely far higher than mine but I've always understood that kind of な as a casual or colloquial form of ね, usually used to indicate one is thinking out loud to one's self...I could be wrong though!

@SonarHD

9 ай бұрын

The な ending particle has different meanings, so it depends on context (as usual with Japanese). As you mentioned, a verb in dictionary form followed by な means “don’t” whatever the verb is. However, in your second example, 気になるなあ sounds like “I’m really Interested”, or “come on, tell me”, or something to that effect. The なあ that’s extended in this way can give a feeling of envy. For example, a friend tells you they’re going to Disney, and you really like Disney, you can say いいなあ, which gives this feeling of I’m jealous (but not necessarily in a bad way). Another meaning of な as an ending particle is something like “huh”. Or like was said, as a rougher version of ね, which is more manly sounding (sort of like the difference between 僕 and 俺). Anyway, those are the different meanings of なthat I can think of. I might’ve missed something though, so apologies if that’s the case. However, a video by Kaname on this particle would be most welcomed 👍.

@anggarapangestu152

9 ай бұрын

For me the word 「なんか」 just ressemble the english of "something like" or "kind of". Many times when you want to express your opinion but you don't want to be very straight or make it sound more personal you put this word. For example, in the street you find a house that look creepy you want to say "That house is kind of a scary" ->「その家はなんか怖いだ」 I'm no expert in Japanese but I have some idea about it, so feel free to tell if there is any correction.

Thanks Kaname-Sensei for these videos! I would like to suggest you something that would probably help us Japanese learners greatly. When you say "You can't use [...] when [...]" it would be great if you could teach us what to say in that situation instead. Thanks!

It’s absolutely refreshing to be able to watch a Japanese language video in which the presenter does not speak to the viewer as if they were a toddler or mentally incapacitated. There is nothing that hinders listening ability and conversational fluency more than never getting past the point of hearing words slowly and pronounced overly dramatically. As helpful as their videos may be, this is a reason I cannot stand The Japanese ammo channel. I already speak with my family and friends any normal conversational temple and when I want to learn something new I can’t stand being spoken to like I opened Genki 1 up yesterday. If you want to be able to speak to speakers of another language, you need to speak at the speed that the speakers will speak to you. Otherwise he will always remain at a handicapped level

質問に対して自分が「全然気にしてないよ」とか言ったら大丈夫なんじゃない？なんとなくアニメでそれを聞いたことがあるような気がするんだよね

Hi! Thank you for your video🙏 I do have one question, when you want to say you(the speaker) doesnt bother or care, can we use 気にならない and 気にしない? Because ive heard people using 気にしないんです for themselves aswell (Japanese people) Thank you!

There is something a little off by the camera quality. I'm impressed there is depth of focus when video isn't in 1080p. There is something wrong with the bitrate I think.

何か最後のドラマ、すごく気になるんですね😂

Also holy crap, I just finished learning n4 kanji and I recognized (via sight and sound) several of them in this video: company president, body weight, etc.

I noticed when reffering to the sole of the foot, you used kana is it not better to say or use 足の下？ i am making this up on my own which is why i am curious だから気になる😊

The られ part is part of the potential form. Dictionary form: 開ける - Open or Will Open Potential form: 開けられる - Can (is able to) open Negative form: 開けない - Don't open or won't open Negative potential: 開けられない can't open. Without that he'd be saying "I'm curious about it. But I won't open it."

10:32 Does "ki ni naru" work for this case? If not, what verb would suit the "been obsessed" meaning?
