Japanese Lesson - How to use the te-form of verbs

[0Nym0]

This actually helped me out quite a bit. Thanks!

[YukiHideyo79]

there is the te and ta form, is that right? u explain the te form. can u explain the ta form as well?

[zuser]

I though when you go somewhere, the "He" form is in use, such as "Konbini he-" or is that just a Directionairy-form?

[snapkitten]

@zuser HE へ (should pronounce "E え" ) can be used in this structure, too. :)

[zuser]

@snapkitten Alright, Thanks for the Lesson!

that'll really help when stringing a sentence together.

[brainykid800]

We've started doing this in my Japanese 102 class, and one of the vocabulary words we got was "しぬ" which means "to die". So we've been saying things like 死んでください。(Please die) and 死んでもいいですか。(Is it okay if I die?) lol I like て form :D

[H2Johnston]

keep posting more videos! I learned so much from this video!

[snapkitten]

[jeninicats]

I am a newbie in the japanese language, and your video helps me a lot! Thanks very much! =)

[InfiniteRagnarok]

Thank God you made this video!!! It has helped me a lot! Keep up the good work (^^)v

[KazeGaara89]

A very good video. I have a test tomorrow and this has helped me go through it again.

I, chi, ri = te

Bi, mi, ni = nde

Ki = ite

Gi = ide

Shi = shite

Iki = Itte

Thanks and keep up the good work.

[svavl]

hmm.. my teachter actually tought us a really good song which i'm unable to find T.T but it's: u, tsu, ru - tte

me, bu, mu - nde

ku(gu) - ite(ide)

shi - shite

ha ha and now I've found ednless of different lessons.

[KazeGaara89]

Lol. That's what I wrote :P It's that song :P But we used other vocals.

[svavl]

hmm.. oh but you's looks really different from mine.. I don't know.. the one I learned reminds me a bit of the A b c d song. aaa ha ha hard to explain.. cause I can't find it here on youtube.

[Glazedtear]

whats the difference between "to" and "te" ???

[snapkitten]

"te", in this video, connects to the verb meaning "and."

"to" also means "and", but connects to the noun. e.g. "ringo to banana", means apple and banana.

[Glazedtear]

thank u for clearing that up^^ japanese particles always confuse me when I try to put sentences together.^^

[chunicone]

行きます to go

行って te form of to go

待ちます to wait

待って te for of to wait

コンビニに いって おにぎり お かいます。 ill go to the convenience store to buy me some rice balls.

えきに いって まちます ill go to the station and wait for you

this is a good video i like the stuff that you have taught me and Japanese/日本語 is a cool language thanks for posting your video

[chunicone]

=) konnichi wa o genki desu ka? or こんにちはおげんきですか? i was unsure of the kanji for genki but i do know the kanji for konnichi wa which is

今日は but i don't know the kanji for genki.

this statement means; hello how are you?

[snapkitten]

Yes, Hi, how are you?

こんにちは、おげんきですか？

今日は、お元気ですか？

[kakeru444]

mm excuse me what does "desu nee" mean is it the same as "desu ka" ありがと

[snapkitten]

No. Ending with "ne" is one of the typical informal speech patterns. The "ne" ending is commonly used like a tag question such as "isn't it?", "aren't you?". However, in this video, I used the "ne" ending to emphasise my request, "please watch my video, ok?"... something like that. :)

[dannidandannikins]

Such a helpful video. I've been using the -te form for a while but never been aware it could be used for that 'and' function in a sentence. Thank you a million times over.

[CheriiChan]

omg thank you so much ur such a big help!

[yatekka]

im curious. who would we be speaking about when using the te endings?

[snapkitten]

Te-ending verbs can be used for connecting actions, like doing something "and" doing something else. They can also be used for asking someone to do something for you.

[saracarter81]

I love your videos- they make me smile and hopefully learn!! ;-)

[snapkitten]

Thanks for such encouraging comments! I'll make more of those videos!

[kodomotachi]

very nice!! honto ni arigatou!!, i wish there was also a -nai form video... i am learning that now.. and also nakerebanarimasen.... chotto muzukashii nee...

[snapkitten]

Thanks for your comment!! Ok, I'll make a nai-form video soon! :)

がんばってね！
