Learn Japanese: Weather in Japanese (sunny, cloudy, snowy..)

[powerup3000]

I thought sunny was haru not hare 

[SadnessandSorrowfull]

It really helps that it shows what the Hiragana is!! Because sometimes I see the symbols and i'm like "ahh! What does that mean" but then I can read the hiragana!! Arigatou gozaimasu!!

[MooseRSoCute11]

@GenkiJapanNet ... or any one else, what does tokidoki mean

[TimeLegacy]

Hare o tenki.

Am I doing it right? Or is it the opposite of what's suppose to be. Yeah, it's probably the latter...

[KittyKatDubs]

I LOVE THIS SONG!

[iaresheepy]

Tenki wa ame desu.. :s

[hikari59914051]

OMG.. My Japanese teacher got our class to watch this last year, and ever since people are always asking to watch this. I admit it's cool and catchy, but after 20 or more times of hearing it, well.. it kind of drives you insane!! I spent weeks trying to build up a mental block towards this song!! I don't even know why I'm watching it now...

[ButterflyUta]

Uwa, such a cute song > w< Hare tokidoki! Kumori tokidoki! Yuki tokidoki! Ame!

[BlatentlyBooshified]

May I ask, why, like in 'hare' do they have another symbol for the 'ha' part? Why didn't they just use the hiragana like they did with the 're' part?

[Ikizami456]

@BlatentlyBooshified They were showing the Kanji, then how it's said above it. The correct term for this is: Furigana. Putting smaller text in Hiragana above more difficult Kanji,

[ShuyaYamamoto]

このビデオはとてもかわいいでしょう！

[shonaisapunkrocker]

Here in Australia when it is hare we always wish for ame, and when it is ame we wish for hare. You only find yuki in some of the mountains unfortunatly.

[glassryu]

well here in chicago we witch the wather woudl make up its' mind it'll rain and snow the same day. be sunny then start snowing. be already snowing and get sunny out of now where.

and snow and just to piss every one of it doesn't stop for days.

[MrFarto19]

[omgBreakingDawn]

In England i wish we had more hare and less ame and kumori, and maybe more yuki in the winter

[HanakoFujita]

Doki doki! XD 5/5 fav..

[Newnewmodel]

Heheh, as far as i can tell 'Toki doki', meaning 'sometimes', not 'Doki doki'

What a brilliant song :D

[Snowberry23]

[TheRealSakuraXNaruto]

Nihongo ga suki da!

[BlazinFireBlade]

Domo Arigato!(Thank you very much!)

This is really helpful!

Dont you other guys agree?

[FolkenXD]

[LearningJapanese1993]

thing that boggles me is i dont see how they get the kanji is there a way to figure out what a kanji is...cuz kanji throws me off so bad

[Toffeequeen]

Basically a kanji is a chinese character who can be read in a japanese and a chinese way. Some are but the meaning remains mostly the same.

I've read somewhere you need to learn 2000 kanji to be able to read a japanese newspaper

Well, kanji is my biggest problem too ^^

Ganbatte kudasai !

[Kawagi1]

that is why I learnt some Chinese, well I thought it would be easier!!! I lived in the east and China was closer..(laugh!!!!)

[lin1123456]

[WolfTalesReading]

Tokidoki means "sometimes."

[missnicky89]

[MewXenia]

i though it ment the sound of a heart beating?????

[Hentakkun]

ときどき(tokidoki) means 'sometimes'

どきどき(dokidoki) is a mimetic word for heartbeat, sometimes gets translated as excitement but it is quite context sensitive

in this song it is tokidoki

sayonara

[boboko34]

ahh..why is it sooo cute

[Hikarisan1988]

wow cool

[lexiibabbii113]

there is diffrent languages inn japan and which one would this be?

[nihonkid5]

theres only Japanese. And English...sort of...

[nihonkid5]

no. There are different dialects. If you mean writings, then this is Kanji with hiragana as furigana (the symbols you see above the big ones)

[iminyourcomputer]

so do i kave to write the little symbols that are above the big symbols for it to be snowy or rainy or whatev?

[moccalou]

No, that's hiragana. It says the same thing as the kanji but uses consonant/vowel clusters like ki ka mi mu, stuff like that... it's the childlike way of writing nouns or ideas. You're supposed to move on to Kanji. Hiragana is then just used for stuff like object markers.

[ap1190]

There is also polite Japanese, but its only used by people like Flight attendants etc.

[SumiCho]

sooo cuttteeee^^

[Remichan99]

tokidoki kumori de england (sometimes cloudy in england)
