Great video but there is one point you should point out. The conjugation of the "capability" form or potential is dropping ru and adding rareru (example taberu to taberareru). Tabereru is only used in informal speech and is grammatically incorrect.
OMG OMG Thanks soooo much! This made my life so much easier! I wish they wouldve taught me this in school instead of just plain memorization! thanks again!
.__. OMG... This made it 10x's easier for me. I thought i had to remember every single conjugation... but you just made it easy to remember :D thank you.
Amazing video!! Thank you so much this is the best explanation on verbs I have received! You're teaching is the best ♪( ´θ`)ノありがとう!
But I have a question..does anyone think I should learn kanji before grammar/verbs? Or speaking/grammar then kanji? I already know katakana and hiragana by the way~!
great video.... just a quick note though.. 走る may end in "iru" sound but it is actually godan verb...because the masu form is はしりますand if this verb was ichidan the te formw ould be はしりてbut it't not..it's 走って(はしって...Most -eru/-iru sound verbs will be ichidan (or type 2 verbs that u mention) but there are always exceptions which is annoying.... you could substitute the "hashiru" with "abiru" :-) cheers..
Haha omg like everyone else said, this is exactly what I've needed. It's so amazing that none of my grammar reference books or anything have simple instructions like this. Then again it might be I'm an auditorial learner.
Thank you!! I spent three years and four months in Japan floudering in the language, so much so that I didn't even realize "dekiru" was just the capability form of "suru." This is so helpful!
Thank you!! I spent three years and four months in Japan floudering in the language, so much so that I didn't even realize "dekiru" was just the conditional form of "suru." This is so helpful!
Hee, this is absolutely great! I couldn't find anything about Japanese verbs, you are my hero!
But I have a question. Are all those forms (negative, polite etc.) all diferent verbs or can you use those with every person (I, you, he, we etc, which I still don't know what those are in Japanese :() This is just the Present, right?
the "let's" form is actually called the "presumptive" form which means probably. Yes I guess you can also use it as a let's form and it would come out as "shall we" as in ikimashou which means "shall we go".
question on the capability form. I am taking a Japanese class at my school and for the capability form I was taught "rareru" but you are saying "reru". Are they the same?
Excellent! I've stopped using Rosetta Stone completely in favor of stuff like this! Thanks so much. I'd also like to know where module 1-3 are. I really need some help with complex sentence structure and particle placement. ありがとう!
Oh wow that was great! I've been learning Japanese by myself for a few months, my friend is teaching me and he sent me this video. It was so down to earth! I have mostly been memorizing vocab but this really helped me, thanks a billion man! How long did it take you to get good at Japanese?
great!
thank you so much

So if you're in a formal situation where you 're saying "Let's eat", would you use tabemasu or tabeyou?

@ubiquitousrevolt The formal version is tabemashou.

The irregulars don't actually look THAT far off from the regular rules, I only really see a slight variation. seems easy enough.
