どもありがとございました　 as always for your lesson まさ先生。 As a beginner, I have the word 'when' written down as いつ. I'm guessing that it is a bit more clear to the listener when using +とき for nouns, na and i adjectives and verbs. This language is very confusing for an English speaker...

@MasaSensei 8 ай бұрын

You're on the right track! In Japanese, "いつ" (itsu) does mean "when" in a general sense, referring to a specific time or moment. However, when you want to express "when" in relation to actions, events, or situations, you're correct that using the "とき" (toki) construction might provide more clarity and specificity. 1. いつ (itsu): Usage: Refers to a specific time or moment. Example: いつ買い物に行きますか？ (When are you going shopping?) 2. ～とき (～toki): Usage: Used with verbs, nouns, and adjectives to specify the time or situation when something happens. Example with Verb: 食べるときに水を飲みます (I drink water when I eat.) Example with Noun: 子供のとき、よく公園に遊びに行った (When I was a child, I often went to the park.) Example with Adjective: 疲れたときは休んでください (Please rest when you are tired.) Using "～とき" provides a more detailed and specific way of expressing "when" in relation to various situations, actions, and states, making it clearer to the listener about the timing or circumstance surrounding an event or action. For beginners, familiarizing yourself with both "いつ" and "～とき" will help you express different types of temporal relationships in Japanese conversation.

Masa Sensei - What is the difference between toki, to, tara and itsu? When do I use what?

@nickinlondon4644 4 жыл бұрын

Masa sensei, you say that 'can sleep' is 'neru koto ga dekiru', but surely we can say 'nerareru'? This seems much easier, as I have never heard of the '-u koto ga dekiru' formula! Do you have a lesson on this? Thanks for your help!

@MasaSensei 8 ай бұрын

You're correct that in Japanese, there is another way to express the potential form for verbs, which involves using the potential form itself. The potential form of a verb represents the ability or possibility to do that action. For instance, the potential form of the verb "neru" (to sleep) would be "nerareru" (can sleep). So you can indeed say "nerareru" to mean "can sleep." Here are both ways of expressing "can sleep": "neru koto ga dekiru" (寝ることができる): This construction uses the pattern of "koto ga dekiru" to express ability. It means "can sleep" by adding the noun "koto" (こと), which means "thing" or "action," and "dekiru" (できる), which means "can do." "nerareru" (寝られる): This is the potential form of the verb "neru" (to sleep), directly indicating the ability to sleep. The use of the potential form, such as "nerareru," is a more direct and concise way to express the ability or potential to perform an action. It's a common and valid way to convey the same meaning. The choice between using the potential form directly ("nerareru") and the construction "koto ga dekiru" ("neru koto ga dekiru") can depend on the context, personal preference, or the level of formality. Both forms are used in Japanese, and the potential form often provides a straightforward way to express the ability to perform an action.

it is a bit awkward as 住みました would be considered as one time action like たべました. "to live" cannot be done instantly, so normally we would say 住んでいました！ hope it makes sense!!

先生 can i use たらinstead of とき？

@MasaSensei 2 жыл бұрын

They could all be translated to 'when' in English but: とき is 'the time when' or 'everytime when'. たら means If [verb], then XX; or possibly, after [verb], then XX. This is less causally strict, and seems a bit more casual in that respect: "if you happen to go, or on the off chance that you go, then XX".

So with ～時 nouns and adjectives are not conjugated and therefore the rule of what action occurs first doesn't apply, correct?

@@MasaSensei In the example sentences 東京から大阪に行く時、このかばんを買いました。and 東京から大阪に行ったとき、このかばんを買いました。we know what action occurs first, we bought the bag before the trip and bought the bag after the trip (already in 大阪). But that doesn't work for adjectives and nouns, because we don't conjugate them? Right? 大学生の時、よく勉強しました。and 小さいとき、東京に住んでいました。 Sorry, even I am a bit confused now, not really sure where I was going with the question. ☺🤭😊

Hi, Masa sensei. 静かなとき、ねることができます　というの句のなかに　ねられます　だめですか？どうして？

@TooManyChoices1 4 жыл бұрын

Chen Sophie My guess is because Japanese takes lengths to minimize ego/self when possible. In English this would be “I can(am able to) sleep when it is quiet”I being prominent. In Japanese it’s like Yoda would say it. “When quiet, to sleep thing(sleeping), possible it is”. It comes off as a general statement and the I is implied or understood through context. If you use the verb 寝る in the potential form ”寝らる”(nerareru) you have a direct action and need someone in the bed(I) in the sentence for it to make sense,just like English does. Japanese doesn’t. The sentence with “寝られます”would be unnatural Japanese like Yoda’s English. That is why the actionable verb is 出来ます “dekimasu” and the other verb “ねる” is “寝ること” a gerund from(verb being used as a noun like the word to eat = eating). I hope that makes sense. I’ve only studied Japanese for six months and Im not very smart. 🥴🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️ You probably found the answer so if I’m right or wrong let me know so others will find it 👍.

Why we say kaimashta ? Why not kaimas?😢😢😢😢

@MasaSensei 5 ай бұрын

In Japanese, "kaimashta" (買いました) is the past tense form of the verb "kau" (買う), which means "to buy." The "mashta" (ました) ending indicates the polite past tense. The use of the past tense "kaimashta" is appropriate when you want to express that you have already bought something in a polite manner. The "mashta" ending is often used in formal or polite contexts, such as when speaking to someone of higher status or in business situations.

Masa Sensei This bag question is interesting. Context would probably determine the specific details. But I would like to add that when I discussed this at school the other day, my conclusion with the teacher was that in this type of construction, Japanese uses the plain form いく instead of a past continuous for the first case (no pun intended). The sentence would then indicate that somewhere along the way ("when I was going") to Osaka I bought a bag. The second case, いったときwould seem clearer; that the bag was bought (btw, that would be your passive) after arriving at Japan. Just my two cents.
