Very useful. Thank you. Perhaps the background music is slightly too loud, making it somewhat difficult to hear the correct pronunciation.
I'm glad you found this video useful✨ Thank you for your feedback! I'll make sure to adjust the background music in future videos to ensure clearer pronunciation. Your comment is greatly appreciated!
@@JapanizeMe1 do you think you could maybe do a video explaining the Te form. So far the videos Ive seen, show you the words that have te form but don’t explain under what circumstances it makes them te form. Please 🙏🏻 Or how to know when to apply the te form. Im sorry if this doesn’t make sense. I just basically want to understand the differences between te, masu, desu, and how to know when to use each one.
Thank you for your request and for sharing your thoughts! I completely understand your need for clarity on the te-form, as well as the differences between te, masu, and desu. It's an excellent idea for a video, and I really appreciate you bringing it up. I'm sure many others will benefit from a detailed explanation too. I'll definitely work on a video that clearly explains these verb forms. Please look forward to it, and keep the suggestions coming! Thank you again!! 😄

Great video! Chigau is “It’s different “ isn’t it? It’s a way to say “no” by way of not so much saying it is wrong, but “the answer is different?” This was how my instructor in college framed it. It is yet another great example of indirectness in polite speech.
Thank you for your comment! You're absolutely right! 'Chigau' (違う) indeed means 'It's different.' Sometimes, translating the nuances of Japanese into English can be very challenging. In this case, it means 'the answer is different.' Truly, this reflects the mark of great teaching by a college professor!
Kiitos 🙏🏻🇫🇮 This was very good education.
I'm glad you enjoyed my video! If you have any more questions or topics you'd like to learn about, feel free to let me know. Kiitos🙏 ありがとうございます⭐️
@@JapanizeMe1 Yes I will, thank you. I just found your channel and watching now the older ones. Greets from Finland 🇫🇮😊
I use "iie iie" often, actually -- for responding to someone when they say thanks to me for holding a door or helping them with something.
That's right! We often use "いえいえ" in those situations. It can be used to mean "No problem." 😊 We also connect it with other phrases, like "いえいえ、とんでもないです," which means "No problem, it's nothing.
That by the way is an universal sound expression in every country, anybody will understand these sounds
But It's impossible to say uun for someone who is far from you
Uun is not a word, if you have your mouth closed, it's just a sound.
It's just like in English when you respond with the sound ( anha ) with hour mouth closed
See if the sound goes far That's so fuuny!
That's a great point!
このレッスンには文化と社会的交流の側面があります。お疲れ様でした、ユーリさん。🌹 PS: "ちょっと" is one of my favourite Japanese words because in the dialect of my region, sounds really funny! 😄😄
役立つレッスンで良かったです！"ちょっと"は頻繁に使うので覚えておくと便利です！。面白いですね！ラウルさんの地域にも"ちょっと"に似た言葉があるんですね?! "ちょっと"は日本語っぽくない発音で、それがまた面白いですよね！😄
@@JapanizeMe1 The word I meant is just "chotto" (written "ciotto") but same pronunciation and it's used for a pretty fatty baby or puppy. Is something as "chubby", said in a gentle and amusing way. 😄😄 (I had a cat with a funny facial expression and really "chotto" and it made me laugh!) 🌹🌹
perfect ❤.
Thank you so much! I'm happy to hear that!
Also the phrase 'chotto ------- kamo' means or implies 'chotto ---- kamo shiranai'
Yes, that's correct! The phrase 'ちょっと ------- かも' (chotto ------- kamo) is a short way of saying 'ちょっと ------- かもしれない' (chotto ------- kamo shirenai). Both casual ways to express uncertainty or a small possibility.
おはようございますか、こんにちはか、こんばんは。はじめまして。😊 How should i write my name Vilius in japanese, when there no symbols for V or L? ヴィリウス or ビリウス ？
If i would adopt katakana to lithuanian language there would be lil bit different hehe😂 M and N would share same symbols just sound separated by "(dakuten?) also B and V, L and R, H and F would go together and sounds between would separated by "(dakuten?) and °(handakuten?) would need only for h turn to p 😄☺️ Some lithuanian vowels aswell would use " and ° 😊 like ą, ę, į, ų (longest sound vowels) with " and ė, y, ū (longer sound vowels) with ° 😄 そして、ヒデオとよんでください。😄☺️
はじめまして！😄Regarding how to write your name "Vilius" in Japanese, both ヴィリウス and ビリウス are correct, but I think ヴィリウス is closer to the original pronunciation.👍
I didn't know much about Lithuanian, so thank you for sharing that with me!
ありがとうございます！
ありがとうございます。Ačiū labai 🙏☺️
Hmm..I've heard Japanese people say *iie* many times.
Thank you for your observation! You're right, "いいえ(iie)" is used, but it's less common for directly declining something. Similar to いいえ (iie), we use "いえ(ie)" or "いや(iya)" to mean "No," and often add phrases like 違います (chigaimasu) or 大丈夫です (daijōbu desu) in a more conversational way. I appreciate your comment-keep sharing your thoughts! 😊
How you became interested in japanese language?
Can't you tell? Her English is in a Japanese accent. Therefore she is a native Japanese that learned English. 😂
Thank you for showing interest!✨ Ever since I was little, I've been curious about other countries and love traveling. Whenever I traveled abroad, people would often ask me questions about Japan, but I couldn't answer them well. It made me feel embarrassed for not knowing much about my own country. So, I started studying Japanese history and language to learn more. That's how I got interested in the depth of Japanese language.😄
You don't need the music we want to listen to you.🙏
Thank you for your feedback! I appreciate your input. I'll consider your feedback for future videos. Your support means a lot! 😃
違う means 'it's different' than what you said.
違う means indeed "Different" so, That is a perfect explanation! Thank you!
いつ「断る」を使うのはいい？怒った時？ちょっと強らしいね？
「断る」は、はっきりと相手の誘いやお願いを受けないという意思をしっかり伝えるために使います。丁寧な言い方としては、「お断りします。」(okotowari shimasu)と言います。少し強い言い方ですね。
