    The part about the KitKat was amazing I never though this could be a thing! And yes, I think I would also go with vanilla! It is just so good.. But there are other good flavors that I like to mix with vanilla. Eager for the next episode!

    Thank you for another wonderful video! 💜
    All of them help me a lot to improve my Japanese.
    My favorite untranslatable word so far is 木漏れ日 (komorebi), which is usually described as "sunlight filtering through trees". I don't know of an equivalent in either English or German - which is a great pity. ☺️
    Best regards from Berlin.

      we don't normally use this word when speaking... but in games, a similar term we use is "God Rays". If you google image search it, you'll see how it looks like. You can also type in "God rays in games" to see it used in a game context. I think the feeling and image is still kind of different from 木漏れ日, but its what i thought of when seeing some of the pictures

    オーストラリアから交換留学生が来た時に
    「ただいま」「おかえり」「いってきます」「いってらっしゃい」「いただきます」「ご馳走様でした」という超基本的な家庭での挨拶、でも英語にはなかなかない表現を教えるのに苦労しました。
    バディの子も苦労してました。
    でも最終日が近づくと楽しそうに一緒に「ただいま!」「行ってきます!」って言ってくれて嬉しかったです☺️

    not only a words which are not be translated, but also simple phares or word in daily life. Explain meaning of a words is really helpful for japanese learning people.

    my favorite untranslate-able japanese phrase/word would be "しょうがない (shouganai)". i love how it implies that we cannot do anything about this circumstance anymore, so we must accept it and move on. 💙

    At this point, it seems to me there are an infinite number of untranslatable words in Japanese. Many of the sentence-ending particles are in that class, but even leaving those out, there are soooo many words with shades of meaning that don't show up in dictionaries. For example, 過ぎる. The English dictionaries define it as "to pass beyond", but that isn't what it's usually used for, and doesn't capture the many places it shows up in speech. It takes experience and talking with native speakers to start picking up on these types of words, and that opens up a whole new world of "I'm never gonna learn this language!"😭😂
    edit: I wanted to say that all the Japanese people I have talked with have been very patient and encouraging. For those who are studying on their own, finding a native speaker to talk with is *so* helpful. It's still hard, but not nearly as hard when you have a good friend to help.

    • @WisdomAndEase
      @WisdomAndEase Před rokem +1

      I was just thinking this bcz even the simple word 'hai' can translate to many definition (I think). Like, indeed, yes, so, sir, and so on. At the moment I can't think more ways they would use it but a lot of times hearing it on CZcams or even anime, the translation for when they use 'hai' has different meaning depending on the circumstance. I thinkkk (please correct me) that one word could have a variety of meanings vs a English word with a concrete definition.
      Like you mention, I think it is better off learning this language with a friend or surrounding yourself with more Japanese speaking people. Little by little you catch phrases and start connecting bits and pieces of the puzzle.
      But not to be discouraged learning on your own the bits and pieces until you are around other native Japanese speakers.
      Glad to read your insight on this! 🙏🏼

    I always struggle to find a good translation of 偉い, that matches the ways I see it being used. I often want to use the word in English, now that I know it, and: it's just not there. Perhaps we should just import it wholesale, the way we imported 大君 (Tycoon.)
