    Yes! When she says "(negative) to go", she means "I am not going."

    Here's a mnemonic for the Japanese word: "WORK" しごと (shigoto) just think of the last time you had to go to work and say "SHIT, GO TO work" and trust me you'll remember it right away

      One thing I would say to improve this lesson playlist would be that they should have added Kanji characters underneath the Hiragana characters. Kanji is a pretty helpful tool in learning despite many people complaining about it (even though they probably have never even tried to learn it, or maybe haven't even tried learning hiragana itself). It helps you to remember words, since words like 'asatte' are made up of the kanji 明後日 which is effectively the kanji for 'ashita' 「明日」 with the kanji for 'after' 「後」sandwiched between them.

  • @JapanSocietyNYC
    @JapanSocietyNYC  Před 11 lety +31

    When she uses the word "negative", she meant to negate the sentence. So when it says "(negative) to go", she means "to not go", or ikimasen. I hope this helped!

    @maxgunn555
    "Ikimasen" would mean "I am not going"
    "ikimasen deshita" would be "I didn't go" (past tense)
    So, "pati ni ikimasen" (I am not going to the party) and "pati ni ikimasen deshita" (I did not go to the party)

    I think this is the first channel I’ve found that actually gives you words grouped by category rather than just explaining how the grammar works or throwing 1600 random words at you. Not to say that those videos are bad, they are helpful, but every other language class I’ve taken divides the words you learn by type and I think it’s just a lot easier to learn like that.

      I want to say it means "the"
      Like in "kino pati ni ikimashita ka" I translated it to "did you go to the party yesterday?" 'did you go to' would be 'ikimashita' the question is 'ka' and party is pati, yesterday is kino, so the would be ni?

      ni is more like the final or target destination and he is more like pointing to a direction, and yes they are interchangeable from little to no difference at all, but there are times when one is more accurate than the other ...

    • @JapanSocietyNYC
      @JapanSocietyNYC  Před 9 lety +27

      Raymond Ponte When she says positive she means the verbs (ex: to go.) When she says negative she means the verbs with the additions of a negative word (i.e. "no".) So "ikimasu" is the verb as well the positive form, and "ikimasen" is the negative form. Hope this helps, please feel free to ask more questions!

      No... As far as my Japanese goes, when you put "ka", your asking, which implies someone else there...
      Meaning:
      "pati ni ikimasu" = *I'll* go to the party
      "pati ni ikimasu ka" = *You*'ll go to the party?

      +Rafaela XmetalyaX Mendes Just wanted to add... sometimes you ask yourself something right? For example....should I go to the party?
      If you want this you can say "Kana" after a sentence.
      For example... "samui" means cold.
      "Samuikana" means - I wonder if it's cold...
      So Pati ikimasu kana... - Wonder if go to the party
      Can be about yourself or others

  • @AtlanticGiantPumpkin
    @AtlanticGiantPumpkin Před 8 lety +4

    She never clearly states what "shigoto ni ikimasu ka?" and "pati ni ikimasu ka?" mean. Do they mean "Do you go to the party?", "Are you going to the party?", "Do I go to the party?"? It never says who it's talking about. Google Translate said it was the first option, but since when is that ever accurate?

    • @GingFreecss17
      @GingFreecss17 Před 7 lety +3

      shigoto (shimasu) = (to) work.
      In japanese, pronouns are not commonly used. The same phrase can be used to ask: do you, do we, do I. This is valid for present and future tense.

    • @jackgale813
      @jackgale813 Před 7 lety +4

      usually when you ask, its always about the listener since you wouldnt ask another person if you are going cause you would know the answer,, maybe asking if you can go to the party, which is another case... and sometimes if another person was talked about earlier, then the question is about that person, since japanese always omits words and phrases already said earlier if it connects to the second or following sentences.... ikimasu can actually mean, to go or will go...it is never accurate, unless you would know the context of the conversation...

      @M1nkss Před 5 lety +1

      Context. If you think about it you'll probably see that pronouns are often not necessary in speech as it's usually clear who is being spoken about. Japanese does have pronouns though, such as 'watashi ' for 'I' and 'anata' for 'you' but they aren't used nearly as frequently.
