Sensei, please explain the difference between 間 and 間に. Thank you.
@MasaSensei8 күн бұрын
The Japanese particles 間 (あいだ) and 間に (あいだに) are both used to indicate a period of time during which something happens, but they are used differently depending on the context and the nature of the events. 1. 間 (あいだ) Meaning: "While" or "During" Usage: Used to describe a period during which two or more actions or events occur simultaneously or continuously. Example: 子どもが寝ている間、私は本を読んでいました。 (Kodomo ga nete iru aida, watashi wa hon o yonde imashita.) "While the child was sleeping, I was reading a book." In this sentence, the action of the child sleeping and the action of reading are happening over the same period of time. 2. 間に (あいだに) Meaning: "In the meantime" or "Within the period" Usage: Used to describe an event that occurs at some point during a period of time, but not necessarily continuously. Example: 子どもが寝ている間に、私は買い物に行きました。 (Kodomo ga nete iru aida ni, watashi wa kaimono ni ikimashita.) "While the child was sleeping, I went shopping." In this sentence, the child is sleeping during the entire period, but the action of going shopping occurs at some point during this time, not throughout the whole time. 間 emphasizes that two actions are happening simultaneously or continuously. 間に emphasizes that one action happens at some point during the time when another action is ongoing.

Hello! I'm loving these videos! Question: do you have to say 'chikatetsu de gakko e ikimasu' in this order or can it also be 'gakko e chikatetsu de ikimasu'
@MasaSensei12 күн бұрын
In Japanese, both "chikatetsu de gakko e ikimasu" and "gakko e chikatetsu de ikimasu" are grammatically correct, and the meaning remains the same: "I go to school by subway."

I gotta be honest, you absolutely lost me on the difference between てくれたおかげで and てもらったおかげで 😞 The English translations really look like the same sentence and I still can't see the difference. 😢 Actually, it's more like, WHY would I want to use one vs the other? In what situations is one more appropriate than the other?
@MasaSensei12 күн бұрын
I understand how the difference between "てくれたおかげで" and "てもらったおかげで" can be confusing, as they both express gratitude for someone's help. However, they do have subtle differences in nuance, which can influence when you might choose one over the other. 1. てくれたおかげで Nuance: This phrase emphasizes the *act of someone willingly doing something for you*. The focus is on the fact that the person took the initiative to help or do something for you. Usage: Use this when you want to express gratitude for an action that someone did out of their own will or kindness. Example: - 友達が宿題を手伝ってくれたおかげで、よく理解できました。 - "Thanks to my friend helping me with my homework, I was able to understand it well." 2. てもらったおかげで Nuance: This phrase focuses more on *the benefit or favor you received from someone doing something for you*. It suggests that you asked for or received a favor. Usage: Use this when you want to highlight that you received a favor or help, particularly when you requested it. Example: - 先生に質問を聞いてもらったおかげで、問題が解けました。 - "Thanks to the teacher answering my question, I was able to solve the problem." てくれたおかげで: When you want to emphasize the kindness or willingness of the person who helped you. てもらったおかげで*When you want to emphasize the benefit or the fact that you received help, often after requesting it. In many situations, either phrase could be used, but the choice depends on what aspect you want to highlight-whether it's the person's kindness or the benefit you received from their help.

@MasaSensei OK, I think I got it now. With everything we've been taught about くれる and もらう, maybe I'm just concerned about sounding rude if I use てもらった when I should've used てくれた, ya know? 😅 Thank you so much for taking the time to write all that!!! 😊

(1)先にお金がないと言っていたが、お金持ちになりたいなら、一所懸命勉強するほかありませんよ ⇒前にお金がないと言っていたが、お金持ちになりたいなら、一所懸命勉強するほかありませんよ (2) 自分の家族は私のことを忘れちゃった。じゃ家にいるよりほかないなあ~ ⇒自分の家族は私のことを忘れちゃった。じゃあ家にいないよりほかないなあ ★「My family has forgotten about me. Well, it looks like there's no choice but to stay away from home.」なので「いないよりほかない」がいいです。 (3) この道を進みたいなら、ボスを倒すほかない ⇒素晴らしい文章です! (4) 友達と遊ぶために、午後2時間まで帰らなきゃいけないけど、自転車を忘れたし、バスにお金がないし、歩いて帰るほかならねよ ⇒友達と遊ぶために、午後2時間まで帰らなきゃいけないけど、自転車を忘れたし、バスにお金がないし、歩いて帰るほかならないよ
It is not interchangeable. ここまで means "Up to this point" or "this far." Usage: Refers to a specific point in time or extent. It's used to indicate a limit or degree that has been reached. Example: 「ここまでの努力が大切です。」(The effort up to this point is important.) Context: "ここまで" is often used in the context of progress, limits, or specific points, while "こんなに" emphasizes the extent or degree of a characteristic or amount. Grammatical Structure: "ここまで" is generally used with verbs or adjectives to describe progress or extent. "こんなに" is used with adjectives or verbs to describe the intensity or degree of something.

Wow, awesome explanation マサ先生。 I have a bit doubt on how to use correctly on the sentence regarding the order . The sentence as the following: 先生に聞いたんだけど、田中さんは東京大学に 合格したんだって。 My question the sentence means the source actually was from people ,which is 先生, but the grammar actually apply on the final sentence . Not on the first sentence as I hear from teacher . It applies on the thing that Tanaka-san got into the University of Tokyo. I just confused with the order of it. So even the meaning of I’ve hard ,but grammar should apply on the actually the source itself , which is what the news about. So the news is 田中さん’s. Is it correct? The first sentence was ok to me because the front sentence normally I heard the news from someone in Japanese, it used だけど as the topic aware.
@MasaSensei18 күн бұрын
You're on the right track in understanding the structure of the sentence, but let me clarify the order and the application of grammar in the sentence you provided: - The grammar in the second part of the sentence (田中さんは東京大学に合格したんだって) applies to the information that Tanaka-san got into the University of Tokyo. The 〜だって here shows that the speaker is reporting what they heard from someone else. - The source of the information (in this case, 先生) is mentioned at the beginning, but the focus is on the content of the news itself (田中さん's achievement). The sentence structure in Japanese often places the source or context first, and then the main information follows. So, you're correct that the news or main point of the sentence is about Tanaka-san's acceptance to the university. The grammar indicating that the information is hearsay (〜だって) is applied to this main information, not the source itself. The first part of the sentence (先生に聞いたんだけど) just sets up where the information was obtained from.

So where cant GA be used an only WO can be used?
@MasaSensei21 күн бұрын
In Japanese, the choice between が (ga) and を (wo) can change when you're using the potential form of a verb. The potential form expresses the ability to do something, like "can eat" or "can see." Here's how it works: Using が in Potential Form: In the potential form, the object of the verb often becomes the subject, so it is marked with が. Example: さしみが食べられます (Sashimi ga taberaremasu) - "I can eat sashimi." Here, さしみ (sashimi) is marked with が because it’s the subject of the potential form. The sentence can be interpreted as "Sashimi is something I can eat." Using を in Potential Form: However, in many cases, especially in casual or spoken Japanese, you can still use を with the potential form, especially if you want to maintain the structure where the object is marked by を. Example: さしみを食べられます (Sashimi o taberaremasu) - "I can eat sashimi." This is grammatically correct and often used, especially in spoken language.

I think my brain is now completely broken. Is it right that wa and o are in fact a ha and wo? Or did I miss something? 2) i also really struggle with the sentence structure. Why do I sometimes see a のafter the number and sometimes not? Is that just something I have to learn? Or can I do both? 3) kinda belonging to the other one: why do I have the が for いますin the last example after the object いぬ? But in another example わたしはあにがふたりいます。 We had it in front of the two. (Still after the brothers). I now realise the real question is: why do I put the ふたりin between the がand the verb?
@MasaSensei21 күн бұрын
1. "o" and "wo" are the same! both を 2. The use of の after a number in Japanese often depends on the context and what you're trying to express. Here's a breakdown: When to Use の: Modifying a Noun: If you're using a number to describe or quantify a noun, you might use の. For example: 三つのリンゴ (mitsu no ringo) - "three apples" 二人の先生 (futari no sensei) - "two teachers" In these cases, の acts like a possessive or descriptive particle, connecting the number to the noun. When Not to Use の: Simple Counting: When you're just counting something or stating the quantity directly without modifying a noun, you usually don’t need の. リンゴが三つあります (Ringo ga mittsu arimasu) - "There are three apples." 先生が二人います (Sensei ga futari imasu) - "There are two teachers." 3. When you're learning Japanese, the particles が and を can be tricky because their usage can change depending on the verb and context. Let’s break down why you use が with います in one example and when you might see something different. が with います: Existence Verbs: When you're using verbs like います (imasu) or あります (arimasu) that indicate existence or presence, the subject of the sentence (the thing that exists) is marked with が. Example: いぬがいます (Inu ga imasu) - "There is a dog." Here, が marks the dog as the subject of the sentence, indicating that the dog exists or is present. を with Other Verbs: Action Verbs: When you use an action verb (like 見る "to see" or 食べる "to eat"), the direct object (the thing the action is being done to) is marked with を. Example: 犬を見ます (Inu o mimasu) - "I see a dog." In this case, を marks the dog as the direct object of the action. が with Existence: います is a verb that doesn't take a direct object in the same way that action verbs do. Instead, it describes the existence of something, and that something is the subject, so it's marked with が. を with Actions: For action verbs, the thing you're doing the action to is the direct object, so you use を to mark it.

This is in fact a difficult lesson for teachers rather than for students. I'd be struggling in finding how effectively & clearly explain it. That's not viewers' concern though! This "hodo" lesson is very useful & practical, with which conversation would go better, smoother & more natural for foreigners, & more confortable & appreciable for the Japanese interlocutors. Great!
