I love the fact that we start out with a short, simple concept and then when you look up at the end of the video you can say a moderately complex sentence.
1. Kyou no hou ga kinou yori samui desu. = Today is colder than yesterday. 2. Kono heya no hou ga nikai no heya yori shizuka desu. = This room is quieter than the one upstairs or on the second floor. 3. Toukyou no hou ga Oosaka yori jinkou ga ooi. = Tokyo has a larger population than Osaka.
Thank you very much, Yuko Sensei! I am taking a university course in Japanese and you helped clear up some confusion for me before my test tomorrow. I have taught languages for over 30 years and I can confirm that you are a very effective teacher. Thank you for the work that you have put into this lesson.😊🎉
For those who are learning Kanjis, i suggest you read things with Furigana, like shounen mangas it will take a lot of time until you can properly read but with a kanji dictionary in hands or google translate you will be to learn a lot of kanjis
This is great! On top of the lessons main point you can clearly hear the pitch accent on each word:) while I’m learning I’m keeping pitch in mind so I don’t have to break bad habits of miss-pronouncing words later when I’m speaking regularly.
Oh, I see, I can say "e" in either of hiragana, katakana or kanji, but in Kanji, the same sound I can read it in many more ways. I couldn't feel any more relieved than that, could I. Now that I see how sound "e" can be read in many more kanji strikes, I can only be safe that my Japanese will sky rocket as you count down from 3 to 0. Piece of cake.
Yuko-sensei, I have a question. When you turn a comparison into a relative clause, should you place のこと after it or something else? Like: おとうさんのほうが わたしより しょうぎが じょうずのこと は きにしない です。(I don't mind the fact that Father is better than I am at shogi.)
@Richard Mortimer Was actually a strange coincidence as I was reading about using ga in relative clauses earlier, leading to multiple instances. Every day is a school day...and yeah ive seen multiple was before :)
any language in the world has no end evrey year comes new vocabularys in these languages the ending of your journey it depends on your goal in it if you are learning japanese to understand anime then you will got your goal when you learn alots of words that will make you understand converstion so what is your goal from learning languages
Thank you for this simple and informative lesson, it was very helpful Yuuko-sensei! For the ending question, I think it'd be, "にほんのほうがアメリカよりれきしがふるいです。"
Yes, it's ok. In that case, you are treating Kanji as the topic of the sentence like this. "As for Kanji, it is more difficult than Hiragana" instead of "Kanji is more difficult than Hiragana." Both are conveying the same information and which one to use depends on how you want to present your opinion or the context where the conversation is taking place. Hope this helps!
Hello yuko sensei. Thank you for your explanation. I want to ask about particle が in すずき が たなか より せ が 高い です。can we exchange が with は? Because as I learn in minna no nihongo, i found the similar structure of compariso but using は、for example この 車 は あの 車 より おおいです. That's my question, thank you..
I randomly came to see this video and randomly came upon your comment, but if you haven't already got the answer to your question: no, you cannot. 背が高い (せ が たかい) is a set phrase and must be used as such at all times. It's not simply grammar construction - think of it as one single word that can't be changed.
I've recently come across this too in my studies! Although it was written as 平仮名より漢字のほうが難しいです。Is a native speaker more likely to use [「B」より「A」のほうが] or the reverse form?
My dear Sensei. I like your class from Bangladesh. I hope you are well by almighty Allah. I hope your kindness I need some information my jlpt result is not published yet. I want to apply for language course in Japanese school in Japan which session will good for foreign student July session or October session. I am waiting for your reply
This せ is the word for "back" (of a person), followed by the が particle. The kanji is 背. So the phrase 背が低い literally means "back is low", while 背が高い means "back is high".
Yes, it is correct. You phrase it "As for subway, it is faster than bus" which is conveying the same information as "Subway is faster than bus" ちかてつのほうがバスよりはやいです。How you phrase it depends on personal preference or the situation where the conversation is taking place. Just be careful with the spelling. バす→バス Hope this helps!
At 3:50 she explains that hou 方 literally means direction. If you translate " のほうが" it literally means: "____'s(の) direction (ほう) is(が)". I kind of think of its meaning as "to the favour of"

ありがとございます
Yuko-sensei, I have a question. When you turn a comparison into a relative clause, should you place のこと after it or something else? Like:
おとうさんのほうが わたしより しょうぎが じょうずのこと は きにしない です。(I don't mind the fact that Father is better than I am at shogi.)
ありがとうございました
Real nice...

Arigato gozaimasu from India
if i want to start learning japanese where do i start and how do i go from start to finish?
any language in the world has no end evrey year comes new vocabularys in these languages the ending of your journey it depends on your goal in it
if you are learning japanese to understand anime then you will got your goal when you learn alots of words that will make you understand converstion
so what is your goal from learning languages
Can i also add "to omoimasu" in the sentence?
Thank you for this simple and informative lesson, it was very helpful Yuuko-sensei! For the ending question, I think it'd be, "にほんのほうがアメリカよりれきしがふるいです。"
Same
If you dislike any of Yoku-sensei's videos, you should probably quit trying to learn Japanese
What does the suffix datto mean?? In one of your lessons you refer to a sensei being nihonjiin datto
What is difference between 'muzukashiKATTA desu' and 'muzukasiiDESHITA'?
You cannot say "muzukashii deshita" because it's an い adjective. With い adjectives you have to drop the い and put "katta" for past tense.
great!
Is it okay to say Kanji "ha" Hiragana yori muzukashii desu instead of "ga?"
Yes, it's ok. In that case, you are treating Kanji as the topic of the sentence like this. "As for Kanji, it is more difficult than Hiragana" instead of "Kanji is more difficult than Hiragana." Both are conveying the same information and which one to use depends on how you want to present your opinion or the context where the conversation is taking place. Hope this helps!

Please tell me in and our how we can use this words

I think the latter.

Inu san no houga,neko san yori ii desu.
Since いい (good) always changes to よく when conjugating or something. I was surprised it was 頭が良い and not 頭が良く idk im just confused sorry
What does "せが” specifically mean? I cannot find in the dictionary.
I think it is height.
This せ is the word for "back" (of a person), followed by the が particle. The kanji is 背. So the phrase 背が低い literally means "back is low", while 背が高い means "back is high".

Is it correct if i say..

how is "more" a noun?
