In this video, I will show you a better way to understand Japanese pitch accent. In most Japanese course books and schools, they explain the pitch accent (if they explain it at all) in terms of High Pitch and Low Pitch, and that's how the pitch is marked in Japanese dictionaries. But in reality pitch goes up and down smoothly, so the way they show accent in Japanese dictionaries is not only confusing but also incorrect.

The problem is that some people don't seem to hear the difference, probably because they are not used to that type of accent. I have seen tests on other channels made by native Japanese teachers and I saw in the comment that some people just didn't hear the difference between both examples. So while I am sure what you did will work for the majority of people, especially if they are aware of the concept, and I think it's probably the best way to learn to speak a language as close as possible to a native speaker, it's probably not going to work for everybody.

@leevalencia6968 Ай бұрын

Yeah, I've heard plenty of people say they can't hear pitch differences even knowing they exist. It depends on your native language as well. Your brain will fit what it hears into the categories it expects, so you may think you're copying perfectly, but still be off.

This is one of the best concise explanations of pitch accent, an aspect of the Japanese language that is getting increasing attention. Using a dot as a visual representation for pitch accent is much simpler. It's like putting up a tent; the cover gradually rises to the top then gradually down. Changes in pitch flow in a similar way. While it might seem a little overwhelming that there are several different patterns & exceptions, you are likely to naturally get used to it over time as you practice listening & using pitch accent.

@RandomStuff-zw7uh Ай бұрын

I'm pretty sure this has always been paid attention to, if you look at Japanese learning material in Chinese, Korean, and probably other languages too. It's just that western educational material, e.g. Genki, etc. that don't talk about it.

When I bought a Japanese grammar book for beginners years ago, it tried to introduce me to pitch accent, but I didn't understand it. It said, "The "ki" in 切る is stressed, but the "ki" in 着る is unstressed." I didn't know what that meant because I never thought about how words are pronounced in my own language. For years, I pronounced 着る as "kiru," but pronounced 切る as "KHHHHHHHHHHHiru." Then years later while watching "Naruto Shippuden," I heard Sasuke say 早く服を着ろ, then it hit me. "OH! That book was saying that the last part of the word is higher! I get it now! So with 切る, the FIRST part of the word is higher."

Especially things like how the rules often sound child-like without understanding the exceptions makes it easier to know what to listen for when you hear exceptions to pronunciation and how they flavor the tone of a speech pattern.

@Mobik_ Ай бұрын

For those asking: 平板 (へいばん - heiban) for "flat" words "_----" 頭高 (あたまだか - atamadaka) starts higher and goes down all the way "-____" 中高 (なかだか - nakadaka) the emphasis can go in the middle "_--__", " _ -___ ", "_----_" 尾高 (おだか - odaka) goes low for the first syllable and then all the way up until the last one that it drops "_------_". This could sound similar to 中高 on exception, but if is the last syllable dropping, most likely 尾高 All this information is just within a word. One last advice, once the pitch dropped IT NEVER GOES UP AGAIN. It can only go up in the first syllable and never again, once dropped/lowered, stays there. Extra, extra: All foreign loan words in Katakana have 尾高 pitch accent but, be careful as the word アイス (ice) will be 尾高 on its own and クリーム as well, but アイスクリーム will become a bigger 尾高 word. That applies to any other combination of words that generates a "bigger" one.

@matzekatze7500 Ай бұрын

*within a word

@masatami Ай бұрын

アイス is 頭高, アイスクリーム is 中高. And there are plenty of 平板 words in カタカナ (コップ, for example).

@notbaldfrost Ай бұрын

This is a misinterpretation of odaka. The accent on the last mora of these words means your pitch drops BETWEEN that last mora and the particle following the word. If there is no particle in front of the word, the word is spoken as if it were heiban. Some exceptions to this depend on the particle; the big one is attributive の which usually ignores the accent on odaka words (specifically!) and stays high as if they were heiban. I can't think of any gairaigo that fall under this category, let alone all of them. These words strongly tend to be accented on the third-to-last mora e.g. ガソリンスタ↓ンド, but many three/four-mora ones show up heiban instead e.g. スタンド￣.

I really wish I had been able to watch this 2 years ago when I first really started trying to learn about pitch accent! I had thought I was starting to get a handle on it several months ago and then I realized I was totally wrong and had actually developed some really bad listening habits because I had been forcing myself to hear the accents I had been told were associated with certain verbs, when in reality the accent had been overridden by by the ます form (ie I was forcing myself to hear 見ます or 立ちます as atamadaka when in reality the stress is on ま or is omitted). Thank you for the great video kaname-sensei! I really hope you make more pitch accent videos :)

Thanks. Nice set of "rules". Generalisations of rules are so helpful when learning languages, even when there are exceptions. It actually makes the exceptions too easier to remember when you encounter them. My first German teacher in school had some general rules for noun gender that I still remember because they were so useful. Watching this, I notice that despite tone accent never being part of what we learnt (Japanese is quite complex enough even without going into it), I actually followed many of these rules when I studied it in school 30 years ago. I just picked it up by osmosis when I listened to the lesson texts on tape.

Thank you for another amazing video, Kaname!! You're the best! I've been studying japanese for so many years but for the first like... 5 years or more, no one ever told me about pitch accent. I like to practice pronouncing the words and phrases as I listen to people talking (in tv shows etc). So I believe I pronounce many things correctly (but sure I pronounce many things wrong too xD) BUT I never studied the rules in language school as I see you teach here. There are other japanese teachers on youtube that I started watching before finding you that also talk about this and I was like "can't believe it took me so long so hear about this" fr...

This was one of the best videos I have ever seen on pitch accent. Calling it “accent” makes it so much easier to understand than the usual approach of “high” and “low” pitch. However, I have no idea how you’d approach studying it in practice? I believe the accent for each individual word is easily available online, which can amount for good practice, but what about full sentences? I recognize the importance of pitch accent, but I haven’t been able to find a good way to incorporate it in my learning schedule. My attempts often feel very overwhelming and frustrating.
