I’ve gone through 3 different textbooks, various popular RUclipsrs, and even took a class. But your video finally helped me understand this in just under 10 mins.
Your explanation of verb conjugation is sooooo much more simple than the genki lesson. This video is great, very concise and comprehensive! I'm learning so much from your videos! ありがとう m(_ _)m
I found this (and your 五段活用 video) pretty early in my search for exactly this. Judging by everyone else's comments, it sounds like I was the lucky one. This was very informative and easy to follow. ありがとうございます。
Thank you andy先生！you are the best teacher i could ask for, thank you for uploading so much free content for all of us new and older 日本語 learners! You make japanese so much easier to understand and fun to remember kanji! I appreciate all the effort you make to teach us well🙇
Your videos are extremely helpful alongside Genki! Seeing and hearing the info is way better than solely reading it, and it helps me actually retain what I just learned! ありがとうございました
After watching some of your RUclips videos, I decided not to enroll in one short-term Japanese training course charged at US2000 just lasting for 3 months. It is apparent that you are well-prepared to make the explanations clear and concise. I doubt any teachers in our city can do the same. One thing I must mention is that the 12 exceptional iru/eru non-ichidan verbs are really great. This is the first time I find this list. Guess what. The 12 exceptional verbs are firmly planted in my brain by now.
I'm happy to hear that you are finding the lessons useful enough to depend on them like that! I'm happy to hear that I can save you some money at a time like this too! ☺️ Keep it up!

Thank you so much for teaching us this grammar point so clearly. With your lesson, hopefully I will not be muddled how to use the verbs. Thanks as well, for your work emphasising the important grammar point in different colours. It makes the format much clear as well. Love your lessons.
hey thank you for your video. real helpful for a newbie here. what about べんきょう？(benkyou) trying to understand why there's a (shi)masu/masen, etc. thank you.
I haven't watched other youtube channels when it comes to learning japanese but I doubt they're this concise, straight to the point and informative. Also super cool and very convenient that you showed that list of 12 common exceptions. I really want to emphasise all of this, super helpful and to the point, I'll definetly check out all your guides as i go through the genki textbook, cheers! Side thing and unimportant but: You mentioned an exhaustive list of exceptions that would be in the description at 8:22? Honestly this video is more than one should ask for but if you have it ready is it possible to have it added? Edit:spelling
I'm so happy to hear that you found the video useful. I hope that you continue to find the content here helpful in your studies. Oh no! I forgot to put the link! Thank you for letting me know. The link is now in the description. =)
Has the irregular verbs been covered yet? Hunting it down and can't find it ~ Would appreciate a link in this description if its been uploaded! ^_^ Thank you!!

What about -る ending verbs in past affirmative ending with -った? Like in わかった? How to know how to conjugate then? I.e. when I have already conjugatd verb 取ります, and have to make it to past negative informal, I should have 取った in the end, I'm puzzled 🤦 btw will definitely check your other videos, they are really informative 😁👍
Hey I don’t think I seen you cover Past-informal and Negative Past-informal form, did I miss it? Also is there a past version of the Hypothetical, past potential, past command/imperative, past volitational and any other past forms? Thanks a lot
Also I didn’t watch godan video yet, but just in case and to save time, what would the past informal/negative informal of word or any unmentioned past forms for Gordon verbs.... thanks alot
I covered past informal and negative past informal in both the godan video and this video (食べた、食べなかった). There is no past versions of the other forms you mentioned.
I just found this video and it's amazing!! I just have a little question: Is "nemurenai" and "nenai" the same? If not, what's the difference?? Thanks in advance
Nemuru is "to fall asleep" as in when you actually fall into sleep. Neru can be for just laying down as well (though it's used for both). Glad you found it helpful! ☺️
I have a question, I tried conjugating the other verbs and I got confused. In the verb まつ the command/imperative form will be まって or まて? And how about the hypothetical, potential and volitional? I got a bit lost there. Will it be something like まてば ; まてる ; まとう ? Or something different like an exception? Thank you very much!! This video was super helpfull!
Fantastic video Series... I am confused at the Imperative form, My logic would tell me that the Imperative of Miru would be Mire, but with Ichidan verbs its Miro or Miyo?
Hi! I saw the godan verbs video before this one, and you said that for 話すto be imperative, it is: 話せ = Speak!! (i.e. from "u" - to "e")... but with ichidan verbs, I see that it's different. You said that 食べる becomes 食べろ in the imperative form = Eat!! (i.e. from "u" to "o"). I have that doubt. Please, clarify it.
出来る-to be able to (Polite present/future) 出来ます;出来ません;出来ました;出来ませんでした - Will be able to; won’t be able to; was able to; wasn’t able to (Negative short) 出来ない - not able to (Hypothetical form) 出来れば - if (I am) able to (Potential form) 出来られる or 出来れる(conversation) - (can) might be able to (Imperative form) 出来る or 出来よ - is able to! (Please correct me if I’m wrong) (Volitional form) 出来よう - lets be able to. (Please correct me if I’m wrong) [I took a stab at conjugations. Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong. It would help me out a lot. ありがとう!]
Hey! Thanks for giving it a shot! 出来る is the potential form of する, so you can't turn it into the potential form. Also, since it is already a potential form, it can not be conjugated into the imperative or volitional either. Feel free to try out a regular verb, and I'll be happy to correct it! =)
I find it trippy when somtimes you say re-ru and i hear de-ru....but when you say it again with more emphasiss i can hear it just fine. Whats going on?
So 一段活用 has verbs that look like they belong to that category, but they aren't and 五段活用 doesn't have that issue pretty much? As long as I memorize those 12 imposter 一段活用 verbs I'm good on a fair amount of being tricked by verbs that look like 一段活用, but aren't?
@@ToKiniAndy Thank you very much for that explanation. An issue I have with learning groups including the reddit is that people don't give clear answers on common vocab and just allude to all words are common vocab, but that of course doesn't make any sense in trying to acquire a good speaking vocab.
できない: not be able to できます、できました、できません、できませんでした : masu forms できる: dictionary form できれば: if I am able できられる: can be able to できろ: be able! できよう: let's be able
Your videos esp the Godan verb conjugation was exceptional. Now, the thing I have an issue with is- for godan, ichidan, te- conjugations etc, when it comes to speaking or writing I can’t immediately classify and link it up with the respective “conjugation trick”……? How do you instantly know what’s the right conjugation? I find it hard to categorise on instinct (thinking if it’s an iru or eru or godan etc y’know) When it’s practice time, it’s “easier” because this “trick” has been ingrained in us, when watching ichidan videos, snap we do this. When watching godan videos, snap we do that. When watching conjugations for the past form, vice versa, you get the idea….? When it’s real life, it’s a mess because there’s no topic or category. For me at least. Any advice? :’)
I have 2 pieces of advice: 1. It comes with time. The more times you hear a word, and the more you say it, the easier it will come. 2. When you have to speak, make sure to take a deep breath and take your time. I find that people here, especially when using polite Japanese, take their time and say full sentences. People won't rush you to finish what you're saying, so deep breath and let yourself think about what you want to say as your saying it. That won't make it come like magic, but it helps a little! The MAIN point though is: Practice practice practice. And it will come eventually. It's all about how many times you actually see/use it.
出来る 出来る 連体形 出来ます 連用形 出来ない 未然形 出来れば 仮定形 出来る is the potential form of する, so there's no further conjugation for 命令形、可能形、意向形 始める 始める 連体形 始めます 連用形 始めない 未然形 始めれぼ 仮定形 始められる 可能形 始めろ 命令形 始めよう 意向形
though your video is really helpful, but most books usually starts with V-masu form for verbs. with that idea, some ichidan verbs though normal here, are ichidan specials. So, i find this video pretty confusing for starters.
Past tense short forms and te-form's (which are essentially the same) don't have easy "tricks" for godan verbs, so they aren't included when kids learn Godan conjugation and ichidan conjugation. For what it's worth: For Ichidan verbs, you just cut the る and add た. Same for て form. Cut the る and add て。 Thanks for watching!
Do you mean the dictionary form? For example 歩く (あるく). I suppose, but it's straight out of the dictionary, so it's not too bad. And you can reverse engineer from other conjugations into the original dictionary form, using those rules. =)
@@DamnControl5 Ah, I see. Yes, short form conjugations for te and ta endings have their own rules. Fortunately, the rules are identical for ta and te. =)
る is really more of a blend between Loo and Doo, which is why it may sound like "do" to you. It's nothing like the English pronunciation of "Ru" despite being spelled that way. 😅
