    Dunno if you'll ever read this, but I just wanted to say thanks for your videos (definitely buying the books soon). I've wanted to learn Japanese since I was, like, 9, but couldn't 'cause I didn't wanna leave my goldfish jk lol. I'm 31 now, and continuing my education. I literally bailed on Japanese because the lessons were way too dry, or they put WAAAY too much content into a lesson and I'd retain nothing. These lessons are the perfect pace. It's inspiring to me that you're learning new languages in your 40's.

    Ive been learning japanse for almost 1.5 years, and this class is trully helpfull. I use to learn by my one with different apps, and had a notion of the stuff talked in here. However, if i had the chance to learn from zero again, I would definitelyetly use this videos as a foundation to learn japanse. After 1.5 years, I finally have a good pattern to understand the potential form of a verb. Thanks!

    • @bondeternal
      @bondeternal 7 лет назад +3

      ず is far more commonly used than づ. The sounds are identical. The only times I've come across when づ is used are 1) when a kanji that starts with つ becomes attached to another word, e.g. 片付ける(かたづける), combination of word+辛い (つらい), and 2) when in the same kanji, the zu sound follows directly after a つ. e.g. 続く(つづく)

      @fuji3d_studio 6 лет назад +1

      Mera Taguhi I know it has been 8 months, but I'll answer for those who are still wandering here and don't know.
      That's the want/don't want form, in the case of the verb さがす, you change the す to し and add たい to have さがしたい ( want to find), to negate it, you'll consider it as an "i adjective" by removing the い and adding くない, ending up with さがしたくない (don't want to find).
      I hope it helps someone =)

      @uchennamaduno5799 7 лет назад

      @Tzimisce777 7 лет назад

      Thank you! I prefer to use 「買うことができる」instead of 「かえる」for example, cause かえる can mean not only "can buy", but also "change", "return" and "frog" (both "change" and "can buy" are transitive, so it creates tons of ambiguity! Also it eliminates ambiguity of 食べられる, cause 食べることができる can have only one meaning. When George stated the theme I thought it would be primarily about 買うことができる form, so I thought it is incorrect to use it when I watched the video and hadn't heard about it.

      うち means my home
      うちにいらっしゃい come to my home
      うち comes from inside the house.
      and おたく is used mainly by a woman who has her own family
      she talk to her friend who also has own family.
      おたく means your family.
      お in おたく is a honorable prefix which represent to respect to her friend.
      on the other hand たく means my family.

      Meaning phisical house stronger is いえ than うち.
      うち and おたく means home.
      Meaning home more politely is おたく than うち.
      おたく is never used for my home , my house.
      It's only used for others.

    Could one take the potential form and then further conjugate into the TAI form? Well sure;
    泳げたいです
    See, just did it. But does this actually make sense? Would people be able to decipher this as 'want to be able to swim'?
    Just curious. I'm aware there are other ways (involving ことs and ほしいs perhaps?) to say this that are probably more natural, I'm just wondering if it's theoretically possible.

    • @masayama1618
      @masayama1618 7 лет назад

      JHD42 "(I) wanto to be able to swim ?" -> "(私は) 泳げる ように なりたい です ".
      If you(speaker) told "(I) can't swim" before talking "泳ぎたいです"("泳げたいです" is wrong) , you can use it for "wanto to be able to swim".

    @kamilkastek3991 7 лет назад +2

    I know that japanese love verb SURU
    for exemple, I hear more often "hanashi wo suru" than "hanashimasu"
    the same thing happen in potential-verb "oyogu ga dekiru" and " oyogeru"
    And I have question: It is have some important reason that was created for?? Can i ALWAYS use both way??

    • @TanukiDigital
      @TanukiDigital 7 лет назад

      "-koto ga dekiru" / "-koto ga dekinai" is a more indirect way of saying these things. And we all know how the Japanese love to be indirect. It acts as a "softener" of sorts to the words. Though yes while the meaning is nominally the same, it does alter the nuances of the sentence.

    • @masayama1618
      @masayama1618 7 лет назад

      I think "oyogu koto ga dekiru" -> "(I) can do (a) swimming" ,
      "oyogeru" -> "(I) can swim".
      Which do you(Kamil Zdebski) think more simple and more easy to say ?

    • @jamesjirehactub5291
      @jamesjirehactub5291 7 лет назад +1

      The other hanashi is noun that means story. Hanashi wo shimasu is telling a story.

    • @masayama1618
      @masayama1618 7 лет назад

      Suru means nearly do ,i think.
      "hanashi wo suru" is "hanashi(noun) + wo(conjunction) + suru(verb)"
      "hanashimasu" is only a verb.
