Thank you for the detailed video! How specific does the domicile information need to be? For example, do you need the exact address or is it sufficient to know the village or the neighbourhood?

I dont understand why this doesn't have more traction, its great

This theme is SO bothering me (as a non-english native speaker). Firstly I had to fight with my native-language reflexes to understand English "sound eating/munching" in an English spoken language (and there is a ton of them, probably one of the most "munching" language from a popular ones). And when I get used to it (on a pretty much native speaker level) I decided to study Japanese also, and it is again same story - people do NOT like to pronounce sounds. My native language also using idea of sounds being constant and similar in all words - no munching, no changing, no switching. So now I'm absolutely deaf to 鼻濁音 , I can't hear or understand fast conversation in Japanese if it's nga/ngi/etc. :|

He just letting you know, igbo is pronounce more like i-bo. :)

🥰🐭

I know punjabi from a kid and i still dont know how its considered a tonal language. to me it has no tones 😅🤣🤣😂

Other than the mo mo mo mo… ones, they were all challenging! 😂

Here are two more fun 早口言葉（はやくちことば/hayakuchi kotoba) that you can practice! 隣の客はよく柿食う客だ（となりのきゃくはよくかきくうきゃくだ/Tonari no kyaku wa yoku kaki kū kyaku da) - The customer next to me eats a lot of persimmons 赤パジャマ黄パジャマ茶パジャマ（あかパジャマきパジャマちゃパジャマ/Aka pajama, ki pajama, cha pajama) - Red pajamas, yello pajamas, brown pajamas

What about the particle が?

I got so curious about what's the non-japanese equivalent to /h/ if not /b/! Your videos are so calming and energizing, and I feel much more motivated to practice after watching them ^^ Thank you so much for covering up content that's so difficult to find, especially in audiovisual format! 🚀

I really appreciate the work you do on the video captions!

The meaning does not change! In more formal situations, the first person pronoun 私 may be said as わたくし/watakushi. Women are more likely to use it, but there’s no rule!

Thank you for another informative video!

Spanish has ( ä e̞ i o̞ u ) and japonesse has ( ä i ɯ̟ e̞ o̞ )

You are a gem!! Thank you for this

You are a gem!! Thank you for this

Thank you. I always wondered why I heard both types of pronunciation and which was correct, and how to go about it. So it appears both are acceptable.

Thank you for not having background music during the lesson.

Japanese has [ä, i, ɯ̟~ɯ̟ᵝ~ɨ, e̞, o̞], according to Wikipedia.

Excellent video, very useful! Greetings from Argentina!

thank you for the explanation, it really helped!

This was super interesting, and a great linguistic explanation on voiceless vs. voiced consonants! The word I've probably most heard this used in was 音楽　(おんがく）and I had no idea there was such an extensive pattern with the other g- sounds! Thank you for this lesson.

For me was the infamous barrier between the difference は vs が particle After a month of going through Japanese class, i realized the difference between the Topic and the Subject, what a relieve that was and i can confidentally create a proper entences with proper particle If you still struggling the difference between は and が you'd be missing out the potential to open your knowledge about Japanese grammar

I will never use another napkin again in my life...

Started learning Japaneese this past week. Trying to go for a scholarship thag will bring my aerospace engineering studies to Japan for a summer where I will learn the language in Japan. Trying to learn as much as i can before i go! Thank you!

What a pleasant voice and charisma) 😊 Thank you for such high-quality material!

Sanitary napkins are for PEOPLE that menstruate. REALLY? I was just about to subscribe until ...PLease keep the woke nonsense out of lessons.

Some of these I knew, some didn't! Very helpful, thanks, subscribed! ☺️

Thank you!!!!! Domo arigatoo!!! I just started and this is helpful. New subscriber.

This was incredibly helpful and fun!

Thanks for useful vid! My grandmother was Japanese and met my grandfather (A Filipino attorney working for US army) in Okinawa. I have a couple of questions I’m hoping you or someone else can help me with. I can find out her DOB from my cousins I know when she died in the Philippines. However I believe she was disowned by her parents for marrying a Filipino so would there still be a record of her in the Koseki with an X on top as you mentioned or just an X? I have no idea which part of Okinawa she’s from, whether she was born there or just met me Grabdpa there, or any of her family details other than her maiden name being Gibo. The other question I have is do I count as a “direct” descendent if I am the step granddaughter of Tomoko Reiko Givo? I am not a biological descendent but she was married to my biological grandfather in the 50s til her death in 97. I never knew my biological grandma she died in 52. Tomoko was a brilliant, beautiful and kind grandmother to us. I’d love to find which town she is from when I visit Okinawa from Australia in a few months. I just want to see where she grew up and pay homage to her. Any guidance or assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. 🙏

Thank you!

This is such a clear and easy to understand overview of the topic, I'll be linking this everywhere going forward. Your way of talking is very easy to listen to :)

This video is very good! I enjoyed it! Thank you!! ❤

Great video!!! Question~ Does the Koseki Shohon have a record of the cause of death of an individual? Are there any other documents in Japan that would record the cause of death?

I'm so glad people actually use the nana version to hour because is sometimes hard to pronounce shichiji 🤗

Finally, someone who explained Teichougo in English! Thank you very much 🙇🏻‍♀️

I had no idea about the subsections of keigo and teineigo, so this is actually interesting!

Interesting! I haven't heard of it? Thank you!

This video went by fast. XD I think aomakigami was harder

1) teineigo 2) sonkeigo 3) kenjougo 4) kenjougo 5) teineigo

1. ア 2. イ 3. ウ 4. ウ 5. ア 6. 私はラーメンが好きです。 7. 先生から煎茶を頂きました。 8. 市長が明日にいらっしゃいます。 9. ア 10. イ I took this before watching the two videos so I don't think I got full marks, but this was an interesting test!

Arigato!!

I don’t know how many i will get right, but the questions themselves were good reviews! P.S. Haha, I appreciated the bloopers at the end of the video!! 😄

Here's an answer template if you'd like! 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 私はラーメンが... 7) 先生から煎茶を... 8) 市長が明日、 9) 10) Copy and paste the multiple choice answers as necessary: ア）丁寧語 (teineigo) イ）尊敬語 (sonkeigo) ウ）謙譲語 (kenjōgo) ア）はい、正しいです (Hai, tadashī desu)　イ）いいえ、正しくありません (īĪe tadashiku arimasen)

thanks for teaching about this . ちょっと迷っていましたが、今わかりました。

Awesome! Thanks. Lee

That’s great I’m going to japan and getting my koseki but I can’t read kanji. Are their English applications there?
