Using Ending Particle ね in Japanese

Ending particles are a necessary part of Japanese language. The meaning of a sentence could be different based on what particle you use or do not use. In this video, I'm going to talk about one of the most important ending particles, ね (ne). The most basic function of ね is to express agreeable nuance and seek validation from the listener when you make a comment about something that you and the listener can perceive. I'll explain that with examples in the video. There are other ways that this particle is used. I'll explain all that functions I can think of that ね has with examples so that you can have clearer idea of how to use it.

    From my experience わ is mostly used by women and seems to be similar to よ. I've mostly heard "~わ" and "~わよ" used in anime but I don't think i've heard a girl use it irl. Men can also use it but it tends so be in shorter sentences/phrases and you need to make sure to attach the わ with a low pitch accent or you might sounds kinda feminine(?). I've also heard women use it this way too. Thats just what i've picked up tho, and i'm nowhere near native lol.

    We have the exact same thing in German (at least where I come from) For example “Die Suppe schmeckt gut, ne?” Answer could be “Ja, ne”. If you said to someone “Ramen schmeckt gut, ne?” who never had Ramen they would basically tell you “no clue, never had it”. Seems very similar to japanese. Even uses the same sound. So this is actually super easy for me 🙏🏻

    but it's not a rule, it's often kind of a marotte. I don't think you would find this in a German textbook. "ne?" is like a slang abbreviation of "nicht?" or "nicht wahr?", which is said differently depending on region. In other regions like the Berlin area you instead say "wa" at the end of a sentence.

    Your videos are very good and helpful! Just letting you know, in your translation for ステーキ, you used the homophone "stake" (which is what people use, usually metal or wooden, to secure a tent, tree, etc.). I dont think anyone would want to eat a stake! The correct word would be "steak."

    Another great vdeo, Kaname sensei - thank you for sharing. In English, we don't have to have the listener agree to what we are saying when using "isn't it" or its variatons. For example, "my boss asked me to come into work on the weekend, didn't he", which is said in a rhetorical way only to express one's annoyance at having to come into work on the weekend. I am sure this situation occurs in Japanese but I'm not sure how it is expressed in Japanese. Is the partlcle "ne" used in this way, too? Maybe "yo" would be more appropriate in this context as it's providing new informaiion.

    I don't know if I missed it in your video, but here in Osaka, I've come to recognize "ne" being used in a slightly different way, which used to confuse me for a while. Someone would just ask a question, then stick the "ne" at the end. Of course now I can't think of a perfect example, but something as simple as like, "フラペチーノ、コーヒーが入ってますかね?" Just a general question with the usual "ka" at the end, but the quick "ne" tacked on, and the "ne" sounds decisive, not questioning. I try to reason it out as if the question is being posed like, "This Frappuccino has coffee in it, doesn't it." ....hahah, though in English that wording sounds as if the asker is a bit suspicious of what's really in the Frappuccino! :D

    In portuguese, we use "né?" at the end of a sentence communicate the same way. I thought it came from shortening "não é?" (isn't it?) but considering the huge amount of Japanese immigrants and the entonation sounding just the same as ね, I wholeheartedly believe we inherited the word from Japanese speakers in our country.

    So, I have a question. Why does the word 雰囲気 is transcribed as ふんいき but always sounds more like ふいんき ? Like, I've been listening to that part on repeat and it really sounds like the latter way more than the former, or am I hearing things?

    That’s how people usually pronounce. People pronounce some words differently than how it spells. ふんいき→ふいんき てんいん(店員)→ていいん せんたくき(洗濯機)→せんたっき It’s not that you are supposed to pronounce that way, it is just people habitually pronounce them that way.

It's actually a very interesting and useful bit of info, maybe you should consider making a video about this. I mean, a lot of beginners fall for the "Japanese language is easy because you always pronounce stuff the way it's written" and it can really mess up the way you perceive things.

    @@SkinnyBlackout as with most languages, difficult to pronounce things get shortened / butchered for convenience sake. this also goes for a lot of grammar structures as well. tbh its not really something that you can accidently miss after making it out of the beginner stages so i dont think a video is warranted but who knows. i do still hear people not doing 無声化 when they have been learning for years but thats a tad bit harder to catched to the untrained ear.

    @@d0xter742 With grammar it's way easier to learn these things since it's still kinda structural whereas with words and stuff you can't really learn it unless you hear it at least once, which is why I think a video would be really good. I've been studying for some years now but I still occasionally have questions regarding pronunciation, like pitch accent and such. Some things I just absolutely have to hear to understand properly, but that's just me. Like, I can read about a concept 100 times and still have no clue about it but I'm able to grasp difficult things by seeing how they work, I'm just more of a practical learner so to speak.
