Misa sensei i just want to say thank you. I passed JLPT N4! and most of the basic stuffs i learned are from your videos. They are really helpful sensei.
These videos are actually a godsend. I was having trouble understanding ている and I then I was like, "Oh, I bet Misa has a video on this." And you did! And now I understand things a lot better! Seriously, thank you SO much.
We learnt this in class the other day, but I was really confused on when it was appropriate to use it. Thought to check your channel to see if you had posted a video on this, and fortunately you had, and just recently! Thank you for clarifying this, as you have made it so much more understandable. Keep up the great videos! :)
Hey Misa, I just found your channel and I wanna say thank you! I'm starting to learn Japanese and these videos coming from a native are incredibly helpful, informative and... Validating! It's validating to know that a lot of the gobbledygook I picked up from anime can actually be arranged into sensible sentences. 感謝します!
Once again, I think of something I want to know, and soon after, Misa posts a video about it (even though my comment is a little late lol). Maybe I'll start calling you "Madame Misa" because of your psychic prowess haha
@@kylewelsh_krossdesu7700 To be honest, I did not know madam was even a word and thought you just misspelled it. I just googled it and found out there was a difference. I just thought it was madame because with females in French, you usually put an e and I always spell madame with an e in my French class. Lol thanks for also bringing up this to my attention XD
ミサさんありがとう！！！ I've got to say you have the best Japanese lessons in such a way that you are teaching us to speak like a local! Love the series! I am also currently learning how to type in Japanese using Google IME. I hope you can make a video tutorial regarding this in the future.
Loving your videos, very educational. Could you perhaps cover negation with the "zu" particle in one of your future lessons? I feel like that topic's being overlooked most of the time.
Thank you for your videos, you're very under appreciated. You don't have to make these videos, but you do anyway just to help progress humanity in education. You are one of the unspoken heroes.
Thank you SO much for teaching Japanese online for free. It has enhanced my learning while taking University Japanese classes. Could you please do a video explaining the difference between 気にいる and 好きな and when to use them? My Japanese friend told me it’s better to say: ジョンは彼の髪を気に入っています。 Instead of: ジョンは彼の髪が好きです。 Why is that?
Every time I see your common mistakes videos on my subscription page, I think: "Yeah, I probably make those mistakes". But then I realize that I actually understood all of this already.
This was really interesting! It seems that there is no video about the informal past tense continuous form. aka "It was snowing." My japanese books also don't include it. But I'm pretty sure it does exist and would be usefull. as in: 雪が降っていた。I guess I mean to say, if anyone did a lesson on this, Misa's lesson would be the best!😄
こんにちは、元気ですか Misa 🙄🌹🌷🌹🌷 Hi how are you Misa, your videos are always helpful not to mention wonderful explaintations of proper Japanese words and meanings. You out done yourself . Moreover I hope you have a lovely day Misa 🌹🌷🌹🌷
I actually winced at some of the negative examples. I guess that's a good sign. One question, though: You mentioned that 今寝ている doesn't make much sense and I am inclined to agree. What about something like 今から寝ています, though? That seems like something I would say - is it wrong?
You can indeed watch Misa's entire series of "Grammar Lessons for Absolute Beginners", they're ideal to begin with ;) ruclips.net/p/PLd5-Wp_4tLqYZxS5j3g6kbeOfVXlTkr3N
In English, something that might happen is being woken up by a text asking what you're doing. I grudgingly respond "I'm sleeping, go away" and go back to sleep. Is there no way to do this then in Japanese? Niche example I know.
Since English is not my mother tongue, I just had not realized the continuous form can be used in the future like that! I've used it but... for me was just made up phrases? This is harder and simpler to explain in Spanish. There's no way to use the continuous form in the future.... but we do conjugate our verbs in the Future Form. So I just say "it's like English! «Tonight, I'll eat». There's no conjugation on the verb, just a time context"
Fantastic video ! Very similar to French. What's the explanation for 死んでいる and 知っている meaning "I'm dead" and "I know" as opposed to "I'm dying (right now)" and "I'm knowing" ?
ている also indicates the state / how one is with certain verbs like 痩せる（やせている = to be thin, not to be losing weight) or 生きている（いきている = to be alive). I explained how 知っている works in this video - ruclips.net/video/e05o4JWKbdg/видео.html
Hi Misa, in my case I get far more confused between the past (-ta) and the past continuous (-te ita) and by the Japanese use of the present continuous (-te iru) when in English we use the present perfect continuous (have been -ing), as in the example you gave in this lesson (at 7' - "I've been going to the gym twice a week" - why don't you use '-te ita' here???). Could we have a lesson on those please? Also, and I know I've asked this before, but can we pleeease have a lesson on conjunctions (like 'or', 'when', etc). Thank you. Incidentally, as regards the use of the present continuous in English to talk about the future, we only use this tense for definite plans (not vague aspirations), and we always have a future time word (eg. tomorrow, later, next Tuesday, etc) which avoids any confusion about whether the speaker is referring to the present or the future.
Because going to the gym is something you're still doing. It wasn't just in the past. I'm pretty sure you'd use ていた if you wanted to say I "used" to go to the gym twice a week.
Japanese doesn't have a "future tense". You use the "present tense" for both present and future. 勉強する can mean "I study" or "I will study", depending on the context. Similarly, 勉強している can mean "I am studying right now" or "I have been studying (and will continue to study)". Making them formal just follows the usual rules.
So I understand when to use います and あります but could you please clarify something for me. If I want to say "it is not an apple" I say りんごじゃありません。If I want to say "it is not a cat" do I say 猫じゃありません。Or do I say じゃいません。？？？？
I know this is a little late (8 months), but I think the ず form is less common than ない . Not really sure about this but I’ve never heard anyone using ず to negate verbs, except from songs and anime. (Yep I watch a lot of channels of Japanese people, and some random things about Japan to just learn the language.)
Now, could you make a video about why we say "Shitteiru" instead of "Shiru"? To me, "Shitteiru" sounds like you are learning about something at this very moment, rather than something you learned in the past and now know. In terms of English Grammar (I know it isn't useful to think of Japanese in terms of English Grammar, but it is the only terms I know), when is "te-iru" acting like "present progressive" (something happening right NOW) versus "present perfect" (something happened in the past, and either continues in the present or has relevance to the present).
Then, whats the difference between "te iru" and "te itta" . You said "mai nichi benkyou shite iru" as "I've been studying japanese everyday". I'm confused, help!
Misa sensei i just want to say thank you.
I passed JLPT N4! and most of the basic stuffs i learned are from your videos. They are really helpful sensei.

I'm Japanese and I'm trying to find out how to use the future tense in Japanese... 😂

Right. I actually wasn't 100% sure on the distinction between madam and madame until I looked it up just now. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Exactly the same as in Italian!
Thank you , Misa-sensei!
Damn I actually was kinda confused with this one! Big thanks Misa Sensei :)

Thank you SO much for teaching Japanese online for free. It has enhanced my learning while taking University Japanese classes.
Could you please do a video explaining the difference between 気にいる and 好きな and when to use them?
My Japanese friend told me it’s better to say:
ジョンは彼の髪を気に入っています。
Instead of:
ジョンは彼の髪が好きです。
Why is that?

Rosetta Stone teaches "Nete imasu". xD
Go home, Rosetta. You're drunk.
For a few audio files of spoken Japanese, I learned from Rosetta Stone. I sacrificed all my understanding of grammar, and how sentences fit together.
Thank you, you just saved me from doing my homework all wrong!🙂

Hey Misa! Could you explain about TE-form + miru, for example 行ってみた
Hope you are staying cool, Misa Sensei! It's a hot one!!
So helpful comparing with English!
Best teacher!
Notification Squad, reporting!!!
この動画は役に立つと思います
Oh cool, in Japanese is the same as my mother language (Portuguese) so it will be easy to remember :3
Just one more instance of Japanese being an absolutely logical language
Precious syntactical point, like all of Misa sensei's.
Good job

are you japanese? Bc you speak excellent English!
arigatou gozaimas for adding romanji pronouciation ... :)
I actually winced at some of the negative examples. I guess that's a good sign.
One question, though: You mentioned that 今寝ている doesn't make much sense and I am inclined to agree. What about something like 今から寝ています, though?
That seems like something I would say - is it wrong?
1:14 she mixed R and L sound 😅
ありがとう！
Is there perfect tense in Japanese like in English. For example
1. I have finished my work.
2. Will he have finished the report by Monday?
Just come across your learning Japanese videos, is there a place to start, like lesson 1?

Would it ever be possible for you to make official "class notes" and vocabulary from your "lessons" with bullet points?
先生 could you use the present progressive form for the future if you mean "what are you doing at 3 o'clock tomorrow?"
明日の3時に何をしてるの？
ありがとうございます先生！

Because going to the gym is something you're still doing. It wasn't just in the past. I'm pretty sure you'd use ていた if you wanted to say I "used" to go to the gym twice a week.
So 〜ている is for progressive and immediate past progressive
て form + います is used with Schedules too isn't it?
The one thing missing here is the formal version is only for the future tense. What about the formal version for the present tense?
Please help!
Japanese doesn't have a "future tense". You use the "present tense" for both present and future. 勉強する can mean "I study" or "I will study", depending on the context.

Goodmorning and may God bless you all and your family's Thank god for all he has given you and pray for forgiveness though prayer amen.
Is 今何して(い)るの？ ok for saying something like “what are you doing right now?” informally?
Can you do a video about the ず form? As in instead of 変わらない you can use 変わらず to mean without changing
I know this is a little late (8 months), but I think the ず form is less common than ない . Not really sure about this but I’ve never heard anyone using ず to negate verbs, except from songs and anime.

This is what the entire video is about. Did you watch the whole thing?
うp乙 / ありがとうございますみさ先生
I love Japan and I want to go to it but I think its language is very difficult 😞
-ている auxiliary verb
Then, whats the difference between "te iru" and "te itta" . You said "mai nichi benkyou shite iru" as "I've been studying japanese everyday". I'm confused, help!
-ている suffix
-てる suffix
Auxiliary verbs
How to say "I will be -ing" in Japanese ?
te iru garmmar point is hurting my head..............itaiiiiiiiiii
This is good information but I wouldn't say it's a common mistake.
Misa😙😙
Sugoi
-てる = -ている
❤️❤️
Verb いる
😘😘😘😘
If only Japanese were spoken as slowly as English is lol
❤❤
You’re as beautiful as always
hmmmmmmmm....aside from being smart she is also very pretty.
If someone wakes me up from sleep, such as by ringing me, is it then okay to use 寝ています?
