2 women were drinking (2) cups of coffee. After they put 2 cubes of sugar in they each had 2 pancakes. Suddenly 2 books fell from the book shelf. Correct?
Its funny because i was literally trying to figure out what "There are 5 chairs" would be in Japanese and decided an explanation video would be best. Thank you for helping me cheat on one Duolingo question and be prepared to figure out how it all works when i can fully wrap my head around it. Enough trying and it will stick someday soon lol. Just gotta keep at it. 先生、ありがとうございます！

how can you understand 😭😭 i study for 2 years i cant understand songs, kanjis or hold conversations I think thats *nondeimashita* which is *nondeiru* form. i guess it would be *two women were drinking* rather than *two women drank* but idk i cant even understand complex conversations/ sentences *or write this comment in JP* 😭😭😭😭😭😭
two ladies were drinking two cups of coffee. after they added two piecs of sugar into the coffee, they ate 2 pieces of pancake. suddenly 2 books fell from the book shelve.

George thank god you did this. Since you were done with your Book 3 videos and the notes I took, I was gonna review Japanese counters and some others while using your book 3 before Book 4 and those videos come out. Thanks George for putting this and your new analysis videos are great. Keep it up

Hi George先生. Thank you for useful video. 4:31 冊 isn't used for ALL PRINTED MATERIAL. For example , 枚(まい) is used for Posters , it's printed. And If you bind billion blank papers for memo pad , It' will be called "1冊".perhaps , perhaps .... maybe ? I think , 冊 is used for objects which is filed and has pages. I'm wating next videos.
I would also add the "TOU" counter. That's not true that HIKI is the classifier for almost all the animals. If I were to generalize like that, I would mention both of them - HIKI and TOU.
I think I get the "shoe wordplay" Shoe is kutsu「くつ」靴 And 9 is kokonotsu「九つ」but also may be pronounced kutsu with a mistake... Not really confident about that, but i don't see another explanation !
This type of set, just like the hitokoto, in my opinion is the absolute best. The words are nice and big and he uses kanji. I wish the japanese from zero series would've been done in this exact same way :( :(
From book 4 I will do this. Unfortunately once I changed to a 4k camera this style got more technically difficult. It required purchasing more equipment. Now again I have the setup to do it.
Oh I see. Damn 4K lol. Since my internet (along with everyone else's here in Venezuela, and most people don't have 4k screens) is so slow, the quality in 720, or even 480 looks excellent; I can't imagine how much better it'd look on 4K....

2 females were drinking two cups of coffee. 2 blocks (or spoons?) of sugar were added to the coffee, then each of them ate 2 pancakes. Suddenly from the bookshelf 2 books fell down.
two girl students had drank 2 coffees. Because two sugars entered the coffee, they had eaten 2 pancakes. Last part havent learned the kanji yet for the last sentence.

Hey speaking of cards does anyone know what exactly is that card game you always see people playing in anime shows? I don't know the rules exactly but you have to blindly pick cards out of your opponent's hand and if you pick like a joker then that's bad

Hey, I have a question. I am using a Japanese course book right now, but it only goes up to N5 level. I am thinking of what to do afterwards and thought I´d give your books a try. Do you have a recommendation on which book to purchase after having reached N5?

Do these counters are the only counters that used in Japanese? Cause I hear 巻 in book counting from a Japanese person! If 巻 is used to count books so, what's the difference between ~さつ and ~巻?
Hi Baraa Abbadiさん. What situation did you hear 巻 ? Do you ask the reason for the Japanese person ? Okay, I think , 巻 means a part of series , and 冊 is counter for physical books. Keep it up.
I wonder if long/cylindrical things use hon because books used to be scrolls? And videotapes use hon because they spool like a scroll, and modern books don't use hon because they don't scroll... Probably wrong but aargh.
Johan Öberg Counters are confusing, but English counters can get messy, too. I just had a lesson on them last night, and I remembered how we basically throw away counter rules when ordering food. "I need to buy a bottle of water." "I'll take a water, please!"

Power up your Japanese on FromZero.com (lessons, quizzes, games, ask-a-teacher)
actually, we use 羽(わ) for rabbits. This is usually used for birds.
but many japanese make mistake and use ひき like many other animals.
Thank you very much for teaching japanese and share your videos!

Two ladies drank two cups of coffee. They put two sugars in the coffee, then ate two pancakes. Two books dropped from the bookshelf by themselves.

For counting people, the "10 little indians" song that was in the lesson is still stuck in my head after a year, I both love and hate it 😅

Shoe is kutsu「くつ」靴

I don't understand! You said you don't put a particle between the noun and the counter but the sentence does exactly that.
something something coffee something pancake something something two printed material.

Shoe is そく
Soku is actually sock. Kutsu is shoes/sneakers.
足(そく) is the counter for pairs(of) such as socks, shoes, etc
束(そく) counter for large bundles
則(そく) counter for rules

so if I wanna say "There are 24 wards in Ho Chi Minh City". ホーチミン市の中に地区が２４つあります. "24つ" or "24こ"?
Hi That Guy さん.
"24こ" is correct.
6:41 he said about it.
Keep it Up.
ohh Thank you so much.

Do you have a recommendation on which book to purchase after having reached N5?
I've completed N5 recently and it's around book 4/5 in level. There's some different stuff in his books that I didn't learn in my courses.

Okay, I think , 巻 means a part of series ,
and 冊 is counter for physical books.
Keep it up.
I see, thanks a lot ^_^
What is the linguistic term for counter in Japanese?
The term that you are looking for is "classifier" or 助数詞, I believe.
thank you!
This is almost 10 minutes though...

Yeah... I give up \o/
Wow, your accent really changed when you were learning korean :O But now it's back to normal again... weird.
Hendy24 this video can be from an other time period.
+You Poop. It's an old video from his Japanese in 5 videos. He doesn't do them anymore so he's uploading old clips.
Melbester9 yeah.
"Small and round objects" *Shows a die*
Because it's small OR round objects.
When you say 2 本のペン, won't you get the reading confused with 日本のペン? It sounds the same.
Darren Ong I think you're supposed to put extra emphasis on the 2 when saying the counter as opposed to the country
Well, as you can see, they're written completely differently and context means you'll never confuse the two in speech.
