The ULTIMATE Japanese Verb Conjugation CHEAT SHEET

Рет қаралды 174,360

Күн бұрын

Japanese verb conjugations are actually very easy if you just understand the Japanese verb stem system. The Japanese verb stem conjugation system is often overlooked by conventional textbooks but is the system that native Japanese speakers use to conjugate verbs.
Instead of letting the textbooks lie to you about how there are hundreds of complex verb conjugations in Japanese, understanding the native verb stem system allows you to see how Japanese verbs only really have 5 conjugations.
This video will be a step by step breakdown of how the Japanese verb stem conjugation system works as well as a brief look at every stem and some of the helper verbs and adjectives (助動詞) that can attach to each appropriate stem.
🎬 Timestamps:
00:00 How Japanese Verbs REALLY Conjugate
01:18 い-stem (連用形)
03:48 あ-stem (未然形)
06:35 え-stem (命令形・仮定形)
08:57 お-stem (推量系)
09:28 Lego-Like Structure of Japanese Verbs
11:32 Solving a Strange Oddity
12:53 DON'T use THIS Japanese System

New video that simplifies 60% of Japanese Grammar with 1 pattern (like ている、ていく、てくる、ては、ても、etc), check it out now!: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l5t4e9RhrcDGm4E.html . This video took 3 months of writing, 2 weeks of editing, and 2 hospital trips to make. . If you found this video helpful or enlightening in any way, please leave a comment letting me know and subscribe if you would like to see more! . I will also be responding to any comments or questions on this video but if you would like to reach out to me directly, just ping me on the Discord server: discord.gg/deg7eBq

Oh god, 13 minutes of overwhelming grammar rules. This is gonna take me a while to get adjusted, considering my reading speed is equal to a kid who's favorite crayon color flavor is みどり.

@JouzuJuls 4 ай бұрын

The single rule can be easily summarized into 1 sentence: There are only 5 verb conjugations in Japanese, and the purpose of conjugations is not to change the meaning of the verb, but to allow you to attach the appropriate helpers. There are no complex rules and hundreds for forms, just one simple sentence. 😉

You don’t actually need to learn the rules like this to speak and understand Japanese. That’s not to say it isn’t potentially helpful, but you will notice the patterns after enough exposure to the language. Grammar is descriptive, not prescriptive, so you’ll have a much better time letting grammar rules explain what you’ve already noticed than you will trying to figure out how to say things with a scrabble bag of words and rules.

@@Slippynutz While we're on the topic of grammar, you made an grammatical mistake in English. "Doing" is a conjugation of "to be," and, as a verb, any descriptors must be adverbs, not adjectives. You are doing well, not good. I will not address your capitalization and punctuation.

This is such an underrated video! I am a Japanese learner from Taiwan, and I've been learning Japanese for months now. Not even halfway through the video, I am already subscribed and am surprised by how few the likes and subscribe count are. My native language is Mandarin Chinese, which means I have a huge advantage in recognizing the kanji characters since the writing system of my native language is entirely based on such a system. I've been watching a lot of videos to teach myself Japanese; some of them are taught in Chinese, some are in English, and this video is one of the best tutorial videos by far, simplifying the rather complicated conjugation rules for beginners. I also find it extremely useful that this video directly uses kanji instead of hiragana letters, which oversimplifies the writing system for a learner like me who is already familiar with the characters. I feel so grateful that I've come across this video and was randomly recommended by the KZfaq algorithm. Keep up the good work! Now that I've come across this video, I'd be binge-watching some of your other videos. Your channel deserves more views and subscribers.

Thank you for taking the time to write such a nice comment! We actually have a similar background as I'm from Hong Kong and learned Chinese first (except I'm not fluent in Chinese and can't even read basic stuff like menus). . One note is that the conjugation rules really aren't complicated at all- the system showcased in this video is the system that Japanese natives use and is very simple. The only reason it seems complex is because textbooks intentionally make things harder by ignoring native systems and coming up with their own random stuff. . Very glad the YT algorithm brought you here too! Thanks for watching and commenting!

I can tell I'm officially old since I find this rapid fire editing and pacing style very difficult to follow. The content is so nice, though! If you cut the sound effects by 90% and increased the runtime by 100% to let each topic breathe a bit, I think it would be much more useful. But everyone else seems to be just happy with it, so I'll see myself out and into the nursing home. Oh, for future videos, my other suggestion would be to pronounce あ like the Japanese vowel instead of the English letter A, since it sounds like you're saying え, especially since you used the Japanese pronunciation for every other vowel.

If anyone watching this is a beginner and it's too fast/doesn't make sense, don't be discouraged! When you learn Japanese, it takes a lot of time just to absorb the grammar forms, vocabulary, and different uses. It's difficult to understand how everything fits together if you don't even know what half the things mean or how they're used. That said, it's still good to watch stuff like this and expose yourself to the concepts. Just be patient and don't be in too much of a hurry. I think this will be perfect for the students I work with who are finishing the second Genki textbook.

@badtothebunny7628 Ай бұрын

I’ve been self studying Japanese for around 10 years now and when I finally got to take courses in college, I was extremely disappointed with how easy it was for me and how they taught it. It was through Genki and they heavily emphasized drill sentences. They would give us a sentence and then have us rewrite its “format” but just with one or two different words. They also taught conjugation in the way you disapprove of (for example, when they taught us short form, they did it like this: “飲む->飲みます->飲み”. But I learned how to conjugate the exact way you describe in the video (which was really helpful thank you!). I didn’t fully realize though that verb conjugations literally just go through the vowels and I love the way you explained it. Thank you so so much for making this video!!

Truly a fascinating video! I must say that you're a tremendously talented educator. Nitpicks & Sidenotes: 3:50 We don't say 幸いに; we somehow only use 幸い or 幸いにも as a standalone, sentence-modifying adverb. 7:51: The screenshots you cite do not represent the "住める"-like form you're talking about. It instead is the explanation for "住まる"-like form that appears in Classical Japanese, as in 冬は、いかなる所にも住まる。 "In winter it is possible to live anywhere" (Tsurezuregusa, Section #55) Yes, your explanation of る in 住める as another type of helper verb is logically a very good choice, but unfortunately the grammar used in the Japanese education system does not treat this as a type of a 助動詞, partly because it focuses on maintaining the parallelism between the Classical and Modern Japanese. 13:01: Exactly. The sole reason why both of these stems are called 未然形 is because they were identical to each other in Classical Japanese.

I've started learning hiragana and katakana recently, so I'm nowhere near this level yet, but I know a great grammar video when I see one! Plus, the editing was very funny, it must have taken quite a lot of time and effort to make, ありがとう!
