Learn Japanese: Days of the Week in Japanese

[mustanco]

The upper middle things look like 33

[LittleBigBabytiger28]

I kinda need these translated...please?

[saska291]

genki japan net is now my primary japanese learning source

[MeTaLkA]

Isn't doyoubi earth's day, and nichiyoubi - sun's day?

[GenkiJapanNet]

@MeTaLkA Yep and "土星 dosei " is the Japanese word for "Saturn" hence Satur(n)day

[aedeling]

Dont write romanji please. I am brazilian and i started learning japanese starting from the, guess what? The alphabet! So anyone who REALLY wants to learn japanese will get a kana book and start studying. You could write the hiragana for the kanjis (which is better for beginners), but please no romanji. 楽しい動画！大好きだ！

[Sergenty]

en français

Dimanche (Soleil) en français "jour du Seigneur"

Lundi (lune)

Mardi (Mars)

mercredi (Mercure)

Jeudi (Jupiter)

Vendredi (Vénus)

Samedi (Saturne)

[shugoshugocha35]

Does the Kanji at the end (the square with a line going through the middle) mean sun?

[Speelunking]

@shugoshugocha35 yep

[daisukikodey]

@shugoshugocha35 Yes, it means sun or day or date.

[RolandofGilead77]

@shugoshugocha35

Pretty much

[miikati]

My Sensei played this during our class, and we all danced :D

[alicecullen51496]

金曜日 きんようび - Friday

土曜日 どようび - Saturday

[iwearatshirttoday]

In swedish we say "Måndag", and the word Måne also means moon xD

It's kinda sweet :3

[chyehin2006]

monday= Lunes

Tuesday = Martes

Wednesday = Miyerkoles

Thursday =Huwebes

Friday = Biyernes

saturday = sabado

Sunday = linggo

[joshtynan]

rave party!

[phazonruler3000]

i guess "bi"means day

[MrStein10]

：Ｄ　どもありがとうございます！！！

[momamia279]

I love how the months are numbered in the names with gatsu added for 'month' : Ichigatsu Nigatsu Sangatsu Shigatsu Gogatsu Rokugatsu Shichigatsu Hachigatsu Kugatsu Juugatsu

[Disneyfreak1010]

i noticed tht tooo xD easy to remember

[DAIGORO14]

I think it is cool that in english we say monday mon meaning moon

in french it's lundi lun meaning lunar and in japanese it's 月曜日　月　means moon.

[BlackSeaProductions]

in spanish it's lunes ;p

[puckjuh1993]

& you know, ''maandag'' is the dutch word for monday, and ''maan'' means moon! =D

i love these vids! it's way better than a dictionary!

[MyDearKyoKun]

@puckjuh1993

Really? In Danish it's "mandag" - originally coming from "månedag" meaning moon day - which can be traced back to "dies Lunae" (Latin)... also meaning moon day XD

Monday is really close to being spelled the same way in Dutch and Danish, huh? ^^

[lolastarsandstripes]

in french like in japanese, its

lundi = lun (lune - moon)

mardi = mar (mars - mars)

mercredi = merc (mercure - mercury)

jeudi = jeu (jupiter - jupiter)

vendredi = ven (venus- venus)

samedi = sa (saturne)

but then, unlike in english, sunday is "dimanche" which i believe must come from dieu.... cuz sunday is like.. god's day (church day, and the day god rested....)

[PukeratUnclean]

@DAIGORO14 In Spanish it's similar:

Lunes (Luna)

Martes (Marte)

Miércoles (Mercurio)

Jueves (Jupiter)

Viernes (Venus)

Sábado (Saturno)

[siizam]

Great vid thanks for posting!

[DarkWitchArizona]

[Kunoichigirl15k]

[SilentGig1]

this was a little harder to learn then the numbers, this really needs a partner and some learning cards with the eng on the back and the japanese on the front

[goatsonfire500]

[Pablo88GnR]

[UoBtExFODA]

[ichbaas]

きようはすいようびです :)

[Tamizushi]

ok so basicly sunday is the day of the sun monday is the day of the moon and the other five are the five chinese elements (fire, water, wood metal and earth)

so I alredy know how to right them with kanji

I just have to remember how to prononce them

[Tamizushi]

damn it I just cant get to remember all of them

ok lets try harder :P

[biscoito1r]

I thought Sunday was the first day of the week.

[Torchwood001]

Monday O.O

[UoBtExFODA]

In portuguese "monday" = "segunda-feira" (rough translation is second-fair), "tuesday" = "terça-feira" (third-fair), and so on, so yeah I always thought that too.

[haomarush]

In some countries it is yes.

[SAPPOROGAIJIN]

Well that's up to your own culture and preference... but Saturday and Sunday are called the weekEND, so you decide.

[xide17]

Hiragana Romaji

にちようび nichiyōbi

げつようび getsuyōbi

かようび kayōbi

すいようび suiyōbi

もくようび mokuyōbi

きんようび kin'yōbi

どようび doyōbi

[fayezdota]

thanx a lot

[poke1nar2avatar34eva]

suiyobi? i think - wednesday ^_^ my bday

[QOGFProd]

i was born in getsuyoubi

[BdeBakan]

どうもありがとございます

[loki25846]

to break it down ill go char by char

do u mo a ri ga to go za i ma su

its pronounced domo arigato gozaimasu

meaning thank you very much

but arigato gozaimasu will have the same effect

さよなら-sayonara-

[archiaeinas]

arigatou gozaimasu

[Supaderata]

Arigato Gozaimaisu !

[136Trine]

What dose 'Gozaimaisu' Stand for?

[duhmeir]

Arigatou. is thank you (ありがとう。)

Arigatou gozaimasu. is a formal way of saying it

(ありがとうございます。)

of course i could be wrong but I'm pretty sure I'm right :P

[SexyScientist6]

That's correct. At least that's how it was explained in class.

[aaarrrggghhhh]

I think you're right.

Also, gozaimasu = very much (present tense)

and gozaimashita = very much (past tense)

Domo is informal, like 'thanks'.

[kittywentcuckoo]

You're right ^^ Adding "gozaimasu" to "arigatou" makes it more formal. To make it even more formal than that, add "domo" to the beginning. So you have "domo arigatou-gozaimasu."

[firemonkey4me]

if we wont to get technical. Domo Arigatou is Thank you very much. Pretty sure your right with that as well. But, i'm only just learning :)

[Johannady]

to rmember it easily i just remember...

nichigetsukasuimokukindo....

hehehehe!

[pedrocamino]

Sugoi!! Arigato Gozaimaisu

[hakkkkkkkka111]

Can you tell me if exist the names of days in week using native Japanese vocabulary(Yamato)?

[randomplace]

these are the native vocabulary. the prefixs with "Yo-u-be" means the coorosponding days of the week

but the prefix in other context could mean something else, like a planet name.

its like if we had "flowerday" instead of "tuesday". "flower" is a plant, but "flowerday" is a day of the week.

make sense?

[MewArisa16]

i never knew the days were named after the planets!!!! So cool!! ^^

[dirrtybubbles]

wth what does the last two letter mean?? i cant read katakana or kanji yet or what ever it is xDD lol

[ap1190]

The first one is the day (e.g. 日 is nichi for sunday).

The last 2 are 曜 = you, 日 = bi... that makes youbi which is day.

So when added would make nichi you bi (nichiyoubi) or sunday.

Hope that helps

[dirrtybubbles]

ooh ty!

[japanthinglover]

can you do a video telling you how to say your family or how to say i, me, we, him, her ect

[frankyluvzme]

Corrct me if I'm wrong...

I, Me= Watashi and if youre a male{particularly a young boy} its Boku..or Ore{im not too sure about 'Ore'"}

We: Watashi-tachi

Him= Kare

Her+ Kanojo

[kakashiobsessed]

ore also kinda refers to a male saying it

[animecookeh]

Ore is a MANLY way to say "I"

:D

[oORodmaNOo]

i just can't understand the writing technique yo-u-bi is writen like one symbol?

or how it works?

[nephewchan]

yes

that is kanji

one symbol can have whole words and another has one syllable only.

it just one of those things you have to memorize haha

[Slipknot91765]

kawaii!

[komeyou]

pronunciation in Roman-ji Monday - getsu youbi Tuesday - ka youbi Wednesday - sui youbi Thursday - moku youbi Friday - kin youbi Saturday - do youbi Sunday - nichi youbi youbi is yo-u-bi 久し振りに英語を使った気がする・・・。 まあ、大した事書いてないけどね。

[hippiejessie]

thank you! thank you! arigato! just what i needed!

[kazuna121]

arigato! that helped alot

[QOGFProd]

lol

[Personwholikesgreen]

very helpful

[Avionicgenius]

shame this doesnt haev the way writen down in the english way of saying the word

[Nixlplix]

Should have had the romaji spellings in there rather than the meanings...would be more helpful for people who don't know kanji yet

[crazyman9501]

i learned these already but it's a good video for beginners

[RJMURILLO]

thanks it's a great help for beginners like me!

[kittykatz55]

oh....."sun"day......

lol

[dreamcastowner735]

for some reason i don't get tired of hearinfg this.^.^

[dreamcastowner735]

man! i like her voice..she say's the weekdays funny and yet somehow...hot

[skratt]

OMG scary!!

the names of days in English and Spanish coincide

For example:

Monday (from moon day) Lunes in spa (luna is moon)

got to look up how the days names came to be... so Getsu is Moon and youbi is day in Japanese??

[gorillazgurl18]

Interestingly enough, both English and Spanish derive from Latin. Latin is the parent language.

[LoyalRoyalist]

No, while most vocabulary comes from Latin, English is a Germanic Language, not a romance language. The English day names come from Anglo-Saxon god names (apart from Saturday) and those in Romance languages (like Spanish or French) come from the Roman equivalent of the gods, they are:

The moon, the war god, the cunning god, the thunder god, the love goddess, Saturn for all, and then the Sun for English and "Dominus" in the Romance languages.

[AngelofWolves]

er... i'm not an english expert that knows where all the words come rom but theres loads of words that are from latin, german, french, greek etc right? it's just a mix of the different languages that came here how long ago

[cute2neko]

I only know that full moon is mitzuki XD but I don't know how to say moon

[nihonkid5]

tsuki

[hyperpaws]

I wish you wrote out the pronounciation like you did in other videos.

[ie9rws]

Getsuyoubi Kayoubi Suiyoubi Mokuyoubi Kinyoubi Doyoubi Nichiyoubi.

in Addtion when we count days we use...

Getsu ka sui moku kin dou nichi.

[Gaaragirl775]

I like when theres always a person who puts this kinda stuff...(mostly so i can write it down!) lolz

[Animegirl5000]

my god bless u! ^^

[leneyboo]

may someone tell me how to pronouce these words broken down..?

[klausbjarne]

Just found out (2 days ago) that some day ..I'll go to japan, Arigato Gozaimasu (or however you write it) for posting this video! Need to learn that language :P

[acelakid94]

I think it would be easier if you could see what they are saying in romaji

[megahpfan]

Yeah, I agree

[GenkiJapanNet]

Unfortunately when I put up romaji everyone starts pronouncing things really badly! :(

[feelingwarmandhappy]

:) love your videos! and really if you've got romaji in em too it'll be much easier to learn!!

[megahpfan]

Oh, its alright, I don't mind

[HaoRhe]

use kana :)

[GenkiJapanNet]

I'll tell you what, I'll do 3 versions of the next song, one with romaji, one with kana and with just the sounds (the best way I think) and we'll see which gets the most views! : )

What do you think?

[HaoRhe]

Sounds good. tho I think alot of ppl will prefer romaji bcause they dont want to go the extra mile and memorize kana. but your proposal is as fair as you can get. So I say try it

[haggiss]

u gotta learn it sometime its kinda important and not hard

[syk123456]

you.are.AWESOME!

thanks!

[avalanchexy]

no music pls

[johnbell58]

get rid of the music so we can hear the words

for crying out loud

[teenagefairy]

YAY!!!! new video!! arigato gozaimasu.

[catty121]

すごいいね！

[Handlez362]

Already know this but keep up the work = )

[hrabbit]

lol this is so ironic, I just wanted to learn the Japanese days of the week XD

[Reborious]

[sugoianimeguy]

Wow, this is not only informative but sounds pretty cool.

[RANkyu]
