Idiots don't catch colds?! (Japanese for Morons-139)

[slashreigncarnates]

Good day ! Victor-sama ,.I have been following J4M ..coz im a moron too...^ ^ . . .Im on verb conjugations now...I have learned that there are YODAN VERBS(about five) that ends with -IRU AND -ERU. ..do you have a complete list of YODAN VERBS ?or can you send me a link? ..i googled it...but mitsukattenakatta. ..yokattara,oshiete kudasai ...@_@

[YumeNyaa]

I don't know if somebody already told you this, but the reason that the kanji for horse and deer are used in baka is because only an idiot would confuse the two animals. At least that's what I've heard.

[tokyofreakz]

Victor-sensei. Ive'd been a fan of Japanese for moron for 2 months now, and I started it since episode 1 because I really found it useful. But there is one thing I want to request. I am currently on episode 70 w/ Hikikosaemon on it. and your tags and titles are random. Some episodes are entitles "J4M" or "Japanese for morons" or "Japanese 4 morons". I found it a little confusing. Don't think me wrong, I really love J4M. But can u do something with it? Its very much appreciated. Thanks! - Chris

[MurdocLC]

馬鹿は漢字に彼らのビデオを入れるを忘れない

baka wa kanji ni karera no bideo wo ireru wo wasurenai

haha, how close was that?

[bawad]

lol

[HaxorLee]

I dont know if everyone has this saying in their language, but we have the exact same saying in my country as well.

In winter people tell me that i'm an idiot all the time, no joke.

[ilovebraziljapan]

I learned the word 'moron' when I watched one of your J4M lessons for the first time! What a moron! xD

Once again, I love you too, moron! :D

[kageromaru]

3:10-ish no kanji! :P Or I'm blind. OR moron. Or both.

By the way, call them Moron-chan. I bet they'd touch themselves for that. :o

[ilovebraziljapan]

@kageromaru

the kanji for kaze=cold is 風邪

kaze which means wind is only 風

Moron-chan is a good idea. :D

[kageromaru]

I know. :P

Thanks anyway.

Haha, you think? ^^

[ilovebraziljapan]

I love you too moron. xD

[ATOZvs029]

What a moron.

[Zinnca]

lol I use 'moron' when describing my friends but I love them your only mean to the people you love...I think thats how that saying goes anyway I'm new but I really like the videos I've seen and I would say I'm a moron about the japanese language cause I don't know it very well XD

[kasaiSutaffu]

haha oh noes i r morons :P

people need to lighten up

[anakie18]

in Japan stupid people would make mistake telling the deer is a horse and the horse is a deer..

thats why they made the kanji together and read it baka means stupid:D

[Ido013]

Really?! That's an awesome explanation lol.

[Rekkie88]

All hail the king of morons! ^-^

[SamiraRana]

Oh and love your videos!!!

[milootis10]

ボクは風邪を引かない！

PS: In the tags section, it says 馬鹿 -が- 風邪を引かない, so why's there a が?

[shavaughn1980]

i love you too moron

[CaLv930]

馬鹿

[benzone50]

I like watching these lessons, even though I never remember and I dont speak Japanese.

[SomeoneInCollege]

I have a cold... I guess I'm not a moron, but really when it comes to Japanese I am..

[ChristinaWatkinson]

you shoulda at least change the word moron to make it sound like a term of endearment.

nigger - nigga

moron - morooooo

yea i drunk

[lox222]

You can think of baka meaning only an idiot can not tell the difference between a deer and a horse.

[lekosboy]

Why did you remove my coment?

[Gimmeaflakeman]

DIdn't remove your comment.

[lekosboy]

That's strange it desapeared then oh well.

[bboytrippin]

Great lesson! I love learning idioms! They definitely surprise the native speakers when I use them.

[commodore256]

I must be an Idiot because I never get sick.

[yuichituba]

Awesome in depth explanation as usual, Vic. ユー　アー

オーソム。

[caletcalet]

1:02 cuendo lo dice rapido, parece un trabalengua.

1:02 looks like a tongue twister. fun!

[trnjulcica]

love the hat

[junkyardmonkie]

Apparently victor thought maggie was an idiot, because it seems he thought she couldn't get a cold...

[h1g3k1]

1:40 hahahahahahahahahahahah ROFL

[decoysupreme]

hiroko san explain why baka's kanji means idiot. If you can not tell the difference between the two kanji characters, it meant you were an idiot. japanesepod101

[Gimmeabreakman]

Yeah, I saw that video, but I forgot when I made this video. ARGH!

[hedleypanama]

yo! moron's king!

[aronicaveronica]

you can smile with your eyes!!! lol

[usaverageguy]

Moron wa, nihongo de nan to imasuka. Baka desu ka? If so, we are all protected.

[Stythe]

I was actually wondering about the whole white mask thing recently, thanks for the explanation on maggiesensei.

[prettyflydude]

Its not insulting cause you are the King Moron lmao.

[TAz69x]

What are Japanese Christmas celebrations like Victor?

It seems like it would be a Gimmeaflake-erific couple of weeks for Christmas-related Japanese Lessons and Videos.

Some great video elements (and lesson elements) would be:

What Western fare is present in Japanese Christmas celebrations,

translations of common English Christmas words and names,

unique Japanese Christmas elements and ideas,

video of public Japanese Christmas decorations and wares,

etc. =3

fa lalalala, lala, la, la

[TAz69x]

Lesson 139 and I'm feelin' fiiine

[amoondria]

Hahahahha great lesson, thanks <3 lol

[markshmily]

Dude... great lesson.. I've got to remember that one when my friends get sick.

I'm not offended by the name of the channel or being called a moron... the name Japanese for Morons is what got me watching in the first place. Since you're lessons are great and very helpful I subbed and I keep watching them. So thank you for making them..

Oh and great hat! I'm so jealous.. I want one. :( Guess I'll have to wait til my vacation to Japan to get one.

Happy Holidays

[tagatautube]

I am a moron. Don`t change anything.

[CaliBoyinJapan]

the ending was hilarious.

[DJRaivu]

I remember seeing this in a Shonen Jump magazine way back in 6th grade. It says

"baka wa kaze wo hikanai" as in "Idiots don't catch colds"

[roosna]

Doesn't anyone notice there are no kanjis showing up at 3min marker for "Kaze:" ?

Otherwise good stuff as always. baka wa kaze wo hikanai. Guess I rather be baka than have pigflu. Carry on.

[markshmily]

Yeah... I saw that too... oh well.

[lekosboy]

The reason why the horse and the deer are the carachters for baka is because only a baka wound't now the diference between a horse and a deer. I'm not joking btw I think I saw that on JapanesePod or something...

[BusanKevin]

Thanks Victor! The ending made me feel warm and fuzzy :) I am a moron!!!!

[SquashyJohnson]

The Royal GimmeAnArmyMan Morines.
