Hey, think you could make a video explaining multi-use words like もらいます and 事? I hear them used in loads of sentences with wildly different contexts, and i don't quite understand the nuance anymore. Another suggestion for a video could be when the topic is placed at the end of sentence along with the particle は. Sorry if these are actually stupid questions haha

This is present progressive not present simple so a little different

And I do ,l read like Chinis kanji

The present tense implies the habit is permanent, whereas ～ている implies it may be temporary. The difference is subtle and to my understanding they are interchangeable in many situations. So the second example may translate something like: 私、毎朝10キロ走っています。I have been running 10 kilometers every morning (but I don't know how long I will be able to keep it up). Took this info from the article "Present Progressive Tense & Resultant States with Te-form" on wasabi-jpn.

I'd say it'd be better translated as "I've been running 10 kilometers every morning" for the -ています example. If we swapped it out for 走る, then it'd be "I run 10 kilometers every morning." As the above commenter mentioned, you can see that one describes a habit, and the other describes an active and ongoing decision that may be subject to change.

So the thing is the tenses in Japanese are not directly analogous to English, so what is called the present tense can be thought of as the base form of a verb, and as Kaname states, you can specify a time to communicate past or future tense. In the same way, the ーている form can be thought of as a progressive tense, but it's not merely present progressive like -ing in English, but it can be used as imperfect tense as well. In a lot of ways, it can communicate more or less the same things as the base, present verb form, but using ーている emphasizes a continuous or habitual action or state, either in the present or the past. So for example, if I say 'スーパーに行ったの時に' that means 'when I went to the supermarket'. However, if I say 'スーパーに行っていたの時に' that means 'when I was going to the supermarket'. The first communicates that what you say next relates to what happens when you *were already at* the supermarket, but the second communicates what happened when you were *on your way* to the supermarket. In this way, you can convey things that the base form does not allow you to do, or you can convey something that the base form *does allow you to do, but emphasizing the continual or habitual aspect*, for example: '彼はいつも勉強する' means 'He always studies' or 'he's always studying', but "彼はいつも勉強している" specifically means 'he's always studying', emphasizing the continual/habitual aspect. Now you can use both of these to mean 'he's always studying', but what if we took away the 'いつも'? Because we're no longer specifying a time period, '彼は勉強する' is more likely to mean 'he studies' rather than "he's studying". Likewise, if we said "彼は勉強している" now it's crystal clear that 'he's studying' at this current moment. "'彼は勉強する" is broad and does not specify a time period, it implies that he's in school and does study but isn't studying right at that moment. Though there's still nuance, if I stated '彼は今勉強する' that can mean he's studying right now *OR* that he studies in a general sense because he's in school *now*. Using ーしている makes it a lot more clear what you mean. EDIT: To expand on the past tense, if I say "彼女は韓国人と思っていた" that means 'I thought she was Korean' but communicates that you had thought she was Korean for an extended period of time. But if I just say "彼女は韓国人と思った" it also means 'I thought she was Korean' but communicates that it was a short-lived misunderstanding. Sorry for the long comment, and while my Japanese is not perfect, I think I've given a decent explanation though anyone feel free to correct me. Hope this helps :)

try to learn it lol

Horrible 😂

you have never been. Millions and millions smoke. 🤦🏻‍♂

@@colinjames2469 You obviously didn’t get the joke 😊.

すみません ?😂

yep. it is

Yes, that's right. The word came to Japanese from Spanish and/or Portuguese. The origin of the word, though, is from native tribes in the Americas, who were the first to introduce tobacco to the rest of the world.

also パン is also a portuguese loanword (pão)

@@coffee-is-power pretty sure it’s a French loan word. Pan is how they say bread.

​@@coffee-is-power eu ia falar isso

I think in European languages, present form is dictionary form so they call Japanese dictionary form(終止形) present form.

I mean it is a present tense, just not only a present tense I've seen the term "non-past" tense pop up, but calling it present tense in the video title probably makes it easier for people who don't know that yet to search for it, since if you're coming from English, you might assume Japanese also has 3 distinct past, present and future tenses

My old textbook called it "imperfect" rather than "present", probably for that reason. But it's more complicated. For many verbs it serves as habitual and as future tenses. For some verbs like iru, aru, iku, kuru, it additionally serves as present tense. terebi o miru = I regularly watch tv, or I will watch tv (2 meanings) shigoto ni iku = I regularly go to work, I will go to work, or I am going to work (3 meanings) for the first type, te iru indicates being in a state where the action is happening terebi o mite iru = I am watching tv but for the second, te iru indicates being in a state where the action has just happened, so kind of a past tense shigoto ni itte iru = I've gone to work (and I'm still there)

@@MusicalRaichu thanks for your insight. I wasn't aware of these exceptions. So in that case would it be wrong to say 仕事に行っている or would it just sound weird?

@@jon-boi ​​⁠ Don’t make this more complicated than the Dictionary or Plain form as being both the Present or the Future tense (based on context), and the ている form as being in a continuous state. For example, if you say 仕事に行く that most likely means “I will go to work”, if we just say it like that, without context. You can be more specific and say, 明日、仕事に行くand that is unambiguously a future action. If you use a temporal word such as 毎日、毎週、いつも, etc, now you’re forcing the sentence into a habitual one. Simple! When you say, 仕事に行っている you’re implying that you are currently in the state of going to work, very similar to the “ing” Present Progressive in English. Maybe someone calls you and asks “What are you doing now?”, and you reply with 今、仕事に行っている “I’m currently on my way to work (or going to work)”. Obviously you started this action in the Past, but the main point is that it is something currently happening and will continue to happen into the future, until it doesn’t. That said, there are exception verbs where the ている form is different from the English “ing” form. For example: 彼女は太っている doesn’t mean “She is being fat”. What this sentence is saying is simply “She is fat”. This is describing the state her body is in right now. Obviously the same principle applies to the verb 痩せる which is “To lose weight”. This is why context is key, especially with Japanese. That said, don’t overthink it 😊. HTH!
