You win the "Most Unexpected Comment" award for this video.

yeah that was pretty funny. I'm actually the opposite cuz even though I'm still beginner, it would be nice if you actually used kanji with furigana.

classic. Best comment on here.

I've been studying teaching yourself to speak Japanese online and found a fantastic website at Fergs magic blueprint (google it if you are interested)

romaji not jomaji and by the way did you go through course 1

:-)

I saw that too!

beastlysun it's うしろ end with o vowel not a る and it's not a verb too.

Funny had to see the video to understand the joke.

Your joke is kirin me.

@@pitch_shifter stop kirin yourself

ALL THE JUMANJI!!

Omg

Lo pensavo anch'io! And in shita sounds like ashita which is the next day (tomorrow) and in chinese for the next month or next week they use the word "down" too. So that helps me

OH NICE! This is totally true!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

Don’t forget about duolingo’s stupid question.

GothLoliSama :3 romaji*

I bet you don’t study 2 years later\

You can say 猫はこことそこのあいだにいます.but if you say so I imagine you are pointing the place ここ and the place そこ with your finger. you gesture add specifity. you can also say こことここのあいだ or そことそこのあいだ Inspite of using same words そこs,the gesture indicate that two そこs are different place to use the phrase AとBのあいだ,A and B should be specific things or places.but some gestures add specifity to a word like here or there.

Thank you pussdesttoyer.

If your friend is to your right, you say: 私の友達は私の右にいます。　or　私の友達は私の右です。 If your friend is to your left, you say: 私の友達は私の左にいます。or　私の友達は私の左です。 Stay easy and don't be confused. Edit: 私は友達の左にいます。 Meaning: I am on the left of my friend.

oh wow, you answered my question in the next video xD

Php Proxy No one's answered you, so I'll do so! It's just a typo :)

Bryan Whitehead Hi

I am certainly not ALWAYS salty. But throw a potato into the mix... it sounds delicious!

Yes

apparently this is in the book or something. but if you haven't by now, just search tonari vs yoko and you'll get a yes japan forum question.

隣[となり] is for similar things ex. they are both animals

It's simply the way that it is

Thats just how language evolves, man. You'll start getting it when you get deeper into learning more about the language and listening to native speakers. Keep in mind, these rules were invented because it made the language more comfortable to speak. English has a lot of these rules too.

They aren't omitting, it's just blended. English is 1 million times worse. Read the following words. I promise you these are NOT researched on the internet. I sat here for like 10 minutes and came up with some interesting English for you to consider. tough, though, through, thought, drought lieu, blue, boo, coup, dew, you, ewe nicks, mix dyke, mike night, knight, mite, might freight, wait, mate, great I read a red book about reeds because I like to read about reeds, but I have already read all books about reeds. As you can see... language is like this. The only difference is you learned English already. Your frustration with Japanese will stop once you know the rules and exceptions. NO language is without it's quirks. I can ALREADY after studying just a few months tell you quirks in Chinese, and of course after years of Korean could point out many inconsistencies there. @HelderToons has the better more concise answer though.

Learn Japanese From Zero! Well I didn't say that Japanese is this or English is that. Even in Vietnamese, we do have some cases when we omit sounds or merge it. But since I'm very new to Ja, I just except some exception so it can help me be more confident to speak and listening Ja.

ちゅ = chu ちゆ = chi yu the "i" in し it's omited in some words because it is like that and that's all, and with す could you give me some examples?

Sure thats one way of saying it. Btw you'd have to pop a が in there "nani *ga* tsukue no migi desu ka" Although I'd probably go for something like "tsukue no migi ni nani ga arimasuka" But there are multiple ways to say the same kinda thing e.g "tsukue no migi ni aru mono wa nandesuka"

correction, it's lessons after. I was rewatching these videos, so I kinda forgot stuff.

Hmmmmmmmmmm. To me that doesn't work as a distinction because あそこです and あそこにあります are both the same level of "knowing" the toilet is there. I think maybe he meant that if you want to go negative to say "It isn't there" then you would use あそこにありません which means "It isn't there".

Learn Japanese From Zero! Wow. Answering a comment on a 3+yo video within a day is nothing I would have expected. Thank you for telling me your thoughts on that. I was asking this on HiNative and didn’t close the question to get another point of view but no one else answered. So having your answer ist really helpful. Maybe it’s something within his social environment. Maybe it’s not correct an will be understood as the same thing by others. I know for myself that I’m doing similar things in German where I have two different expressions to clarify, even tough they aren’t normally used in this way. I will ask him again and see what he thinks about your point of view. Thank you for answering! ---------------- The original text he wrote is German, but I can paste it anyways :P Wenn es schon klar ist, dass das Ding existiert, dann gibt es meiner Meinung nach keinen besonderen Unterschied zwischen "〜にあります" und "〜です". Im oben genannten Beispiel geht man davon aus, dass das Buch existiert, und man fragt nur, wo das ist, dann passt sowohl です als auch あります (du kannst auf jede dieser Fragen beides antworten.) Wenn es noch nicht klar ist, dass es das gibt, dann sagt man eher "ありますか": トイレはどこですか = Wo ist die Toilette? (Man geht davon aus, dass es sie gibt, und fragt nur wo.) トイレはどこにありますか = Wo gibt es eine Toilette? (Man geht nicht unbedingt davon aus, dass es eine gibt.) Auch auf diese Fragen kann man beides (です/あります) antworten. Mir ist aber ein Fall eingefallen, wo man eher "ここにあります" sagt. Z. B. wenn wir zusammen nach einer Toilette suchen (keiner von uns weiß noch nicht, ob es eine gibt) und ich plötzlich eine finde, dann würde ich "ここにあります" ("Hier gibt es eine") sagen. Das ist eher die Feststellung des Vorhandenseins und hier passt "ここです" nicht wirklich.

I apologize, I watched the next lesson and I understood your responses. Sorry for the question!
