英語で「気持ちがいい」は？]Answering JustMiyabi's Question!

[Raymasaki]

i understand most want to hear eigo, demo

it would be good to also say tatoeba

feels good = kimochi ga ii.

the hiragana on the screen is good.

But its also usefull to hear the words back to back / Translated.

studying Japanese is difficult when they speak in Japanese fast & only have some subbtitles.

[KansaiJesse]

Hey Victor, are all of these videos accompanied with Japanese? While the English is no use to me (to learn) I can always benefit from the Japanese.

[ActionTeacher]

@KansaiJesse

No, man. Sorry. SOME of the vids have Japanese but I try to avoid it on some lessons. My goal is just to teach English in most of these vids. If I can work in some Japanese naturally I might, but it's not my priority here. Also from a Japanese viewer's point of view, some of them really prefer me NOT to use any Japanese.

[KansaiJesse]

@ActionTeacher, no problem. I completely understand what you mean, and that makes sense. I was thinking of making a series of English lessons, but maybe I won't since the YT J community has you.

[xxfloppypillowxx]

I think that you should have covered the use of "comfy" (Slang for comfortable). It is rare you'll hear comfortable in fluent english. At least where I live. Still great. But I feel that teaching the forms that are used in spoken English would be better if you're aiming towards people who already understand a fair amount of English (which judging by the lack of Japanese is what you're doing).

@xxfloppypillowxx

Yes! You know I teach comfy and cozy all the time in class. Should have mentioned. The problem here though is she is wondering how to translate a certain Japanese expression and was confused regarding these 3 words, but YES I should have mentioned that one in this video.

[xxfloppypillowxx]

@Gimmeabreakman Yeah I suppose if it's a direct response to JustMiyabi then there is no need to veer off track ^.^

[KansaiJesse]

@xxfloppypillowxx if you're a girl and under 30 you say comfy. I don't think I have ever heard a guy say comfy or use it in any context. I know I haven't. Comfortable is the used all the time in "fluent" English.

[xxfloppypillowxx]

@KansaiJesse Where the heck are you from then? Here in southwestern ontario it isn't an age or a gender thing. I am a 20 year old male and I still use comfy over comfortable.

[KansaiJesse]

@xxfloppypillowxx, not that it matters where I'm from, but New York. Well, perhaps that is how you roll in Canada, I don't know.  But it is very effeminate to say in the US.

[xxfloppypillowxx]

@KansaiJesse New York has a lot of grammar that doesn't exsist outside of the city and/or state.

[ActionTeacher]

@xxfloppypillowxx Actually that's true. It's pretty interesting! For example, in NYC they say Get on line. But in other parts of the USA they say Get in line. Course, "comfy" is not grammar. A good way to search for a word's popularity is simply google alone and in a phrase -- with quotation marks. I just did: "I feel comfy."=114,000 "I feel comfortable."=11.2 million "comfy"=13.6 million "comfortable" =114 million So comfortable wins, but enough people DO use comfy so it's up to you!

[xxfloppypillowxx]

@ActionTeacher The issue with saying that is that I am talking about SPOKEN english where as you are proving written english. Due to the large amount of professional documents online your test is invalid. Comfy is hardly ever used in written english because it is awkward and incorrect to use in proper English.

@xxfloppypillowxx Same here (UK).

What a great question from JustMiyabi.
