[usaverageguy]

Wow, you put so much effort into this video. And now we cannot view the newsclip you are referring to. Is there another way to view this clip or are we just out of luck?

[Gimmeaflakeman]

Yeah, it's no longer showing. I should have saved it! Damn! Sorry!

[Raymasaki]

hey victor why is the ヶkatakana character

"ke" used esp for ga?

i typ in the whole phrase & it does come up

like how you have it on the screen but its wierd

it doesn't use the katakana for GA ガ

[Gimmeaflakeman]

@Raymasaki ...

Didn't I answer this already? I can't find my answer....

[Raymasaki]

龍ヶ崎

the ryuu kanji & romaji

also means Dragon

ryuu 龍

[minraja]

I know this is a bit of an older video but the video in the link is now set to private and I can't watch it.

[Emoanimeotaku]

@killbison another form of falling you need to learn is おちる (ochiru) which means to fall from somewhere higher to somewhere lower like from a building to the street (don't try that), from a bridge to the water, etc. It can also mean to come off, to fail, or to go downhill and is pretty common actually.

[creepyk1d]

too much vocab in one session for my moron self to absorb. I could write it down but I'm a lazy moron. shikatanai yo.

[killbison]

@shinobirevolution ah Ok I see! That's a fairly subtle difference but it makes sense! Thanks very much :)

[shinobirevolution]

@killbison It is a different type of falling. Korobu is falling like off a bike. You fell over like that. Taoru means to be taken down, so you slip, are hit or have some other reason to be taken down, thus falling like being hit by a ball or slipping on ice.

[killbison]

What's the difference between Taoru and korobu :S I thought to fall was korobu :S

[Neodudeman]

Oh no! I favorited this video to visit it later; but the Japanese news youtube channel has gone private! :(

Are there alternative news sources I can watch?

[Raymasaki]

@Gimmeaflakeman yeah sorry you did its "just because"

something we have to get used to. like how the green lights are refered to as Blue

theres no explanation for for it they just use/do it. i will look up more city names & see wich ones use the ガ ケ

[afronathan]

Thanks for putting so much effort into this video, it's true that listening is often the hardest practice.
