If anyone is confused between determining whether an adjective is an i-adjective or na-adjective, I found another easy rule. If it ends with -ui, -ii, -oi, -ai, then it is an i-adjective, for example, ak*ai*, ending with ai, is an i-adjective, kur*oi*, ending with oi, is an i-adjective, oish*ii* ending with ii, is an i-adjective. if it ends with -ei or ends with something else, usually a single vowel, then it's a -na adjective. for example, taisets*u* ends with a single vowel u yum*ei* or gakei, ends with -ei so these both are na-adjectives there r exceptions to the na-adjectives kir*ai* - disliked, ends with -ai but is a na-adjective kir*ei* - pretty, ends with -ei but is a na-adjective (idk why this is an exception even though it ends with -ei but sure.) yuum*ei* - famous, ends with -ei just like kirei
綺麗(kirei) and 有名(yuumei) are な-adjectives because the ending い is built into the kanji, and you cannot break a kanji for its constituent sounds to conjugate
For myself 0:27 i adjectives 2:46 negative form 12:35 past tense 14:02 past negative 5:21 irregular I adjective 6:05 na adjectives 7:15 delectation of nouns だ and だった 16:57 past tense でした 18:35 long ass polite ending 7:56 negative form 17:52 past negative 8:58 exceptions 18:28 summarize conjugate 10:36 summarize 10:58 expressing degree
Honestly, I absolutely LOVE how you use footage from games or whatever media as examples for the word currently being taught. It sort of helps me understand more than using just sentences itself (don’t get me wrong, sentences help a LOT.) However I feel that using footage as examples helps me understand or somewhat visualize what it means. Lovely video! ありがとうございます！
This channel is truly amazing, it stands out from all the others. You turn something difficult into something fun, easy and pleasant. I can only remain joyfully overwhelmed by the amount of effort and caring one can feel in each second of every video. Thank you so much man, i really hope this community grows ❤
I have been learning alot and enjoying the examples too! Must have taken a lot of time to compile your resources. Thank you so much for sharing them with us. Im loving your videos. ♥️
I just got to these na adjectives in Duolingo and could not figure out when to use the adj and when its na-form. This video actually made everything click, so thank you very much! P.S. They really need a grammar section in that app...
Thats why duolingo sucks. It gives you a million repetitions of simple sentences without context. I switched to a good anki deck (learn japanese with anime)and renshu and i got much more information how this all works.
Just came across this video - very nice, thank you for the lesson! However, there's one thing that's bothering me - aren't you pronouncing かった (i.e. the past tense conjugation) too much like かた?
I think I'm getting confused because of referring to things like 元気 as a noun. Just means good doesn't it? So how would that not just be an adjective on its own? What makes that a noun?
元気 is an adjectival noun (also known as a na-adjective) it functions as a noun when used by itself. However when な is attached after it then functions as a Na-adjecive. So its important when looking at Japanese to not focus too much on the English translation and English rules :) hope that helps!
Haha I'm just being myself, perhaps its because at the time I was also working at a Japanese uni? Although I think im still the same now haha its just me being me
I really enjoyed lecture and examples and made subscribtion, but I feel awkard for your angle/face or camera position. I feel sth wrong, just to let you know
Thanks for enjoying the video! Yeah it was tough at that time I was working from a shoe closet so I couldn't get a better angle, but now I have a bigger room to work in hopefully that issue has been fixed in more recent videos! Thanks for watching
Please be careful, I'm pretty sure your pronunciation of any "かった" is systematically incorrect, that is, you pronounce it as if it were "かた". There needs to be a "silent" mora where the small "っ" is. Otherwise, very cool video and fun examples, thank you!
Thanks for the comment, all my videos are proof checked by a native Japanese speaker, however sometimes mistakes happen. Sorry if there was an instance where the gap wasn't as clearly pronounced as it should be! I'll keep doing my very best to continue to improve quality and make sure no mistakes make it to the final cut! Thanks for enjoying the video
You explanations: 🔥

This channel is the best for leaning Japanese I have seen. Very direct and full of information.
Thanks so much Ryuzaki!
If anyone is confused between determining whether an adjective is an i-adjective or na-adjective, I found another easy rule.
If it ends with -ui, -ii, -oi, -ai, then it is an i-adjective,
for example,
ak*ai*, ending with ai, is an i-adjective,
kur*oi*, ending with oi, is an i-adjective,
oish*ii* ending with ii, is an i-adjective.
if it ends with -ei or ends with something else, usually a single vowel,
then it's a -na adjective.
for example,
taisets*u* ends with a single vowel u
yum*ei* or gakei, ends with -ei
so these both are na-adjectives
there r exceptions to the na-adjectives
kir*ai* - disliked, ends with -ai but is a na-adjective
kir*ei* - pretty, ends with -ei but is a na-adjective (idk why this is an exception even though it ends with -ei but sure.)
yuum*ei* - famous, ends with -ei just like kirei
Thx for sharing
Thank you so much for this!! Underrated comment.

15 minutes into this video and my mind is blown at how much information you've just given.
I can't believe how incredibly helpful this video is. 😭♥️
Nice way to learn japanese.
With anime, songs and entertaining videos like this.
In a fun way.
No boring like studying grammar.
Yeah it’s nice practicing the い adjectives and な adjectives on Bunpo app then listen to his video. 😸
I love how adjectives work very similarly to English put it before the verb, but we also have adjectives that can be used as nouns too.
I have been learning Japanese by myself and you are the best teacher ever thanks !
This is extremely helpful. Thanks a lot!
Been studying on my own about a year. Since finding this channel my comprehensive has made leaps and bounds!
Thanks for the the video. Great hearing practice too.
The "くなかった" end always reminds me of the "Akunamatata" song in The Lion King.
Wow ! The best explanation ever !!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge ❤
Honestly, I absolutely LOVE how you use footage from games or whatever media as examples for the word currently being taught.

Lovely video! ありがとうございます！

Damn useful mate. Thanks a bunch!
2:48 can you make a video talking about allallall the various kind of sentence ending particles~ like の です んた んです な etc？
My Japanese teacher taught a -くて form of adjectives. I was hoping you'd have an in depth explanation about that in this video!
I loved your content. Thank you so much!
This is simply perfect ❤❤❤
I wish I learned this earlier when I first started studying Japanese
Love this. Please more N5 content like this :)))
Thank you
thank u sensei , u are the best
thank you for including the arimasu/arimasen ;n; It's how were starting adjectives in my Japanese 112 class 😢
best channel
Game Gengo dai suki
Such amazing examples! Makes learning so much fun. Can anyone tell me what video game is at 26:19?
What is the song that starts around 12:42? …Lava Reef Zone???
Double consonants seem to be quite difficult for english speakers :)
How do you tell the difference between I adjectives and na adjectives? Do you just have to memorize them?
ありがとうせんせい。

Now i just have to retain this lol
this guy acts the same as the people in the eikaiwa training videos
Haha I'm just being myself, perhaps its because at the time I was also working at a Japanese uni? Although I think im still the same now haha its just me being me
How do you find all those examples?
A tonnn of work playing games, collecting footage, building databases of scripts/transcripts to search through haha
@@GameGengo Nice! I wish you worked for some library…
I hear いいじゃない！All the time. Is that ok?
Sure! Thats an exception, as seen in this video ruclips.net/video/n3GHwujs6mI/видео.html
