[neslieyogurt]

thanks to this video. it helps me a lot in getting started in learning Japanese Language... Im on a bit a hurry right now to learn the language . since my boyfriend is a Japanese ,he wants me to learn the language in just a month. oh gosh, I hope I can make it. thank you again..

[anna14232]

oh nice! i enjoy it really much, specially when kame sing kizuna

[dlareg02011989]

can u make a video on how to use ga, ka no, de, wa, etc. something like that.. sorry but its confusing me.... i dont know how to use it in a sentence.... arigato, nice video gambatte!

[arishachan777]

@dlareg02011989 ga and wa are the hardest to explain. I'll give you a short explanation here, I'm kind of busy right now but I'll let you know if I created any videos about it.

Ga is the subject marker while wa is a topic marker. Specifically, "ga" is more literal, and wa is kind of just hovering over the sentence.

"What is your name?"

"Watashi wa Izu desu."

"Who is Izu?"

"Watashi ga Izu desu."

You can simply type the syllables in google. It's everywhere. :)

Thanks for watching!

@dlareg02011989

wa is a particle that basically says "Im about to tell you something about the word before me"

so if it was Watashi wa it means that its about to tell you about "watashi" (which by the way means I.)

Ga comes after the SUBJECt of the sentence. If the sentence was "i like strawberries" The ga would come after strawbrries.

Ka is a question particle. It is used at the end ofsentences that are questitons. by the way if you want help with japanese i have lessons on my channel!

[RanAbvideo]

Actually SHITSURISHIMASU means literually "im about to be rude" and its used when leaving something like an even BEFORE everyone elsee or before abruptly ending a fone converstaion ETC

[arishachan777]

@RanAbvideo Ah, yes, Thank you for the extra info about shitsureishimasu! :)

[RanAbvideo]

@arishachan777 yeah ur welcome. u were close though. How fluent are you? If you are still learning i have lesson

videos up but you seem to be pretty fluent

[thebolt220]

Very helpful. Arigatou gozaimasu!

[ARY1031]

I agree with some of the others here...it would be great if you made a version of this with pronunciation...and don't say you're terrible at it, 'cause I have your romance phrases video bookmarked! :-)

[arishachan777]

@ARY1031 Oh wow! thank you for that! :D I think I'll make a video of this w/ pronunciation. But my only free time is next week, so I guess it'll be posted here by then. :) Thanks again for your compliment, it made my day. <3

[Alyssagreywolf001]

Arigato for da vid!! Did u use Kat-tun for the song at 1:26??

[arishachan777]

Yup!

haha

I love Kat-tun. XD

[jerjerbakare]

sometimes yoroshiku onegaishimasu...

has another use...

for an instance...

in the workingplace/office...

when the boss is leaving his/her staff...

in just a while...the boss can also used the phrase...yoroshiku onegaishimasu...right???

whats the meaning of that???

thanks and Godbless

[arishachan777]

Nice question! ^_^ thanks for reminding me!

Yoroshiku onegaishimasu literally means "thank you [in advance] for taking care [of me]"

So, in your example, the boss is trying to say, "thanks, that you'll take care of things while I'm gone."

or something like that.

So, when you're a new student, or employee, you say, "yoroshiku onegaishimasu." because your classmates/office mates/boss are gonna 'take care' of you in some way. I hope that cleared up some points, sorry, I suck at explaining

[jerjerbakare]

i got your point clearly...

thanks a lot...

no, you dont suck...

you explained it well...

Godbless

[chrissalyana09]

hey thanks!..that was good...but it would be best if you consider how it is pronounce too...then it would more likely to be efficient to use...right?!

have a nice day!

^_^

[jeckaguilar2000]

arigatou

[arishachan777]

No prob!

douitashimashite!

X3

[sekhmet04877]

mmm, it is ogenki deska, not igaka deska...i`ve never heard that...anyway, i`ll ask my teachers

[arishachan777]

Ikaga desu ka also means "how are you?"

"Ogenki desu ka" is only the polite form of "genki desu ka"

they usually add "O" at the beginning of a word so it'll be polite. Like "Oyasumi" can also be "yasumi" and "Otanjoubi" can also be "tanjoubi". :D

[arishachan777]

but you cannot add "o" to every word to make it polite. ^_^

[stickystick09]

Arigatou Gozaimasu! Okagesama de!

[IsaacFilth666]
