These are quality lessons

usually when a Japanese word has many translations, it's because its more accurate meaning sounds awkward when translated directly to English. It's not that it means multiple things, it's just the usual problem of teaching Japanese by localizing it to English grammar. It's too difficult to do this sort of calculation in realtime, so learners will either memorise expressions that use the phrases, or eventually hone in toward what it really means on their own. So if I try to think about it, we know kedo does not join situation A with unexpected situation B in all cases, it has to be a more general meaning than English "but". And we have just explained it possible to mean situation A + suggested situation B, which may be desired or offered or probably many other things. So what is its central meaning? Well, we can't just pick a conjunction from English, or we will probably have to say "and" as the most neutral. To me I'm thinking when clause B is past tense or negated, we are expressing something unexpected, and when we express it in present/future/question, we are expressing uncertainty in clause B. So it's reasonable as a starting point to say uncertainty and unexpectedness are close enough meanings that kedo is a merger of them that context and the tense will do the rest of the lifting for. In terms of the feeling of the language, it is like when we must say そう to show we can't be certain of something, there are cases in Japanese where uncertainty is both a grammatical and a respectful neccessity. Naturally I made all of this up and it could be wrong.

Thank you , this is very clear

It’s so clear now, thx🔥

Aqua Sama from Konosuba always uses this word

Thank you 💜

Love the different style of video, also your accent sounds very Australian

Thank you !

I feel like it was well explained, but still not quite sure when I would use it. Actually as a westerner I probably wouldn't use it. But when I hear it, I will just ask myself does "but" make sense in the sentence? If not, then basically ignore it.

Arigatou gozaimsita sensei. Your lesson are the best for understanding japanese language. Can 'ga' particle use in sentence same as like as 'desu kedo'?

The second part after desukedo is ommitted most of the time, right? I mean for a basic learner it mostly appears as if it ends the sentence, but actually it has a completion that is ommitted because it is understood from the context, correct? Thanks.😃

Feels like it connects sentences, like you have something more to say, in English we use but to contradict a lot while けど doesn’t necessarily contradict anything or really do anything other than marking that there is more to be said. あれはほしいですけど… (My grammar is prolly wrong but it should mean something along the lines of) “I want that (thing), (insert awkward silence of an unfinished sentence)”
