How to Speak Conversational Japanese : How to Use Adjectives in Japanese

[ParadiseRiceBowl]

i love these videos -- they actually teach grammar not just random phrases

[supercosplayman]

Please say yamette kudasai!

[Americangirlgal02]

thumbs up if you need this for japanese anime or something like that...

[Americangirlgal02]

what does desu mean?

[2009kirby]

@Americangirlgal02 I believe "desu" means 'is'. (Desu is pronounced without the 'U' in it.)

[Americangirlgal02]

@2009kirby Got it!

[ashleywilson62]

I learned English from “fet system”

I learned Economics from “mark thoma”

I learned Math from “your teacher”

I learned Japanese from “expert village”

[ShadowClawTv]

how do you say i have wanna have sex with you ?

[CANAirforce]

@ShadowClawTv Kimi kawaii desu means "You're cute", so i guess that's a start

[dianadylanweiling]

busy



[paigebrumby]

just in case you want to practice without looking at the video, you should get some paper and a pencil/pen and write down the words and practice them each day so you memorize them and maybe even become fluent

[taufiqsun]

anata wa hima desu ka? cuz i would like to take you out some time :)

[ScarletSky03]

If you are a male, use Boku wa ____ desu. Watashi for males is too formal for casual conversation.

[bidding4k]

What does the desu at the end of the sentence mean/do?

[toidhh22]

@bidding4k Basically it functions like "is" or "am" in these sentences. Watashi wa isogashii desu is "I am busy" (Japanese put the verbs at the end). Without the desu it would be "I busy".

[engeljakob]

fuck expert village sux...ordered playlist please!!!

[motownazn]

is this the second playlist? or is there something before it?

[nejigirl889]

Arigatou Yuu-Sama..!!!! =)

[J0RDSKI]

Wheres the playlist to watch these from the beggining? In the sidebar they are messed up.

[MultiBelalang]

thank you so much .... love the way you teach....

[kiran19]

Yuu-Sensai arrihatou gozaimasu :D .

I love your way of teaching and I hope to learn much more with your videos.

Gambarimasu :D

[ichijorox]

wait dont watashi and atashi mean i for girls?

and doesnt boku mean i for boys?

[kn0ckingIN]

Watashi is unisex.

[itsamemariowahoo]

yes and no, it doesnt particularly matter, watashi is what'd u'd use for "I", i believe boku is for a formal thing and ur a guy, i kinda needs 2 requirements.

[kensaibros]

@ichijorox I Think you are correct, but to be honest, my plan is to LEARN japanese, and once i am fluent, or to a high, standard, where i am close to being fluent, i will be able to easily correct myself, as i will understand how dumb i sound :P

[Honeydew7396]

@ichijorox Atashi is used mostly by girls, and boku mostly by guys. Both are informal style. Watashi is sort of an all-purpose pronoun used by males and females, and is acceptable in most situations.

[crossesandawes]

arigato gozaimasu! i watch alot of japanese anime and want to become and animator myself, and so i though it would help me to better understand the the people behind the many grate anime cartoons. and so, i took up trying to learn japanese. these videos do well to clear up a few things, such as, pernouncing words ( forgive my bad spelling) and howtocorrectly say a few of these words. im learning and so.. arigato gozaimasu! ma-ta-ai-ma-sho!

[LindenNolet]

lol animators don't just animate anime and I'm pretty sure not all anime animators are Japanese either ha ha :p

[crossesandawes]

yes your probly right lol.. but i love japanese alot and i just want to feel the roots of it all, plus if i have to go to japan to animaate one day i wanna understand everyone lol. but your right

[LydDee]

that was uploaded on my birthday!!!

i like Yuu's way of teaching :)

thank you so much :)

[qurbanturk]

i was living in osaka,for many years but i couldnt learn japanese very well i think its a very difficult language to learn,any how may be you guys will learn,wish you all good luck,

[ChungFat4eva]

obviously, its a video meant for beginners!

[goooooofygoober]

my friend said that when she's free, she doesn't always say hima desu,

sometimes she just says. "hima hima" with her friends. is that normal?

[Rucifel17]

yea, a lot of people talk like that, just like in english you dont always talk completely correctly, i think you call that idiomatic or something...

[Nitefire1000]

Maybe that's how they say it colloquially

[alfunjes]

I didnt clearly understand how to write busy and free, because she didn't write there. Please write all the phrase, not only to hear but also to view the word.

[JapSlimShady]

私は忙しいです。

（わたしはいそがしいです。）

私は暇です。

（わたしはひまです。）

[alfunjes]

感謝の

[aquiace]

isogashii (busy)

hima (free)

[alfunjes]

Thank you.

[boligrafoaraujo]

Why don't they teach how to write Japanese? Good luck only knowing romaji in Japan. They'll secretly laugh at you. You might speak it mediocre but you're not truly fluent in Japanese or a language until you can read it.

[HoneyBaby778]

because as a beginner, other languaages sound fast talking and when someone like this person is saying a word you have no idea what it is.. -_-

she writes down thw word, you learn to pronounce it, and later write it in kana. simple.

[sukarestu]

Wth?

I cant really write vietnamese

I can still speak it fluently

=-= ull learn after listening to ppl talk

And obviously if u dno how to read kanji then theres really nothing to laf about.. since its obvious ur a beginner

[ivy2504]

oh please, be realistic, If someone want to speak Japanese fluently, they rather take real class.

The video just introduce a little bit of Japanese. Who cares if people secretly laugh at you or not, as long as they understand what you means. That;s all the matter

[Guimaz77]

well said...that's correct.....I'm Portuguese and i must say that a lot of old English men n' women that come every year to our beaches...those who know Portuguese, never talk correctly but we do understand them.....that's the point....like....I is 16 old years....that's wrong...i know it is I'm 16 (years old)...although you understand it... and that's what matters....probably I've written a dozen or more of errors...but i guess you got my idea....see?

[alfunjes]

I think that more you speak more you have interest. And of course laugh is much better than anger in the foreign country.

[kristellagutierrez]
