@@Nutellochka you can just pause bro. what I do is i repeat the videos again and again. Like I listen to it like three to five times so that it sinks on my head.
@@alokin_creator Well, no, obviously, yet it still is tricky to breakdown and explain some concepts and nuances for me. I’m too used to the language and this kind of objective explanation is kind of an eye-opener.
@@yamhweeyeo3089 Not Even Close先生 stopped uploading many moons ago, we're still waiting for his return, but in the meantime this dude right here will do
his skits truly put him apart from others language learning channels but I also wanted to mention that I love when he says IT SOUNDS VERY WEIRD IN JAPANESE
Topic suggestions 1. Conditional verbs (ば、たら、なら、etc.) 2. How to use って来る and って行く 3. Compound particles (~には、~のが, ~とは、etc.) 4. How to use と思う 5. How and when to use こと and もの 6. Different ways of saying very (とても、すごく、etc.) P.S. I'm also just a Nihongo learner and I feel like I commonly hear these nuances in common conversations, thus the recommendations. More power and love to you 要先生
Super useful! I remember friends saying "えっ！これ気に入ったかも" when out shopping and they wouldn't necessarily buy it, often because it was too expensive. Now with this explanation, I think they meant something like "I really like this (and I'd use it a lot if I were to buy it)."
Shortly before finally watching this video, I binged a romantic drama called 君に届け. Late in the series, the female lead meets the male lead's father, and then and at several later points the male lead comments on his father seeming to like her... using 気に入る. Learning of the nuance is very interesting considering the characterization of the father and how his son sees him. The father is a very strict type, the kind of father who struggles with actually showing any kind of positive emotion towards his son, leading the son to believe his father doesn't actually like him. Each time he says his father likes the female lead, it has an undertone of "at least he likes one of us". So to then also have this "he thinks he'll use you" nuance on top of that makes it pretty neat as a dialogue detail that gets lost in translation to some extent.
i like the fact that he used a lot of examples to explain how to use something in a conversation, i could understand without actually focusing more on the actual rule of it
i was literally just listening to a song that uses 気に入らない and was confused by it, i love your videos and they are helping me so much in my studies, ありがとう先生！！！
Kaname strikes again with the clearest explanations EVER! Another note, but I found taking the direct translation to be very helpful for understanding it's usage. 気 (ki) is from Chinese "qi" meaning kind of like your "positive/life energy" or "residuals of your positive energy." So in the phrase, 気に入る , the 入る means "enter." So if you 気に入る something, it can be directly translated to "your qi has enetered this thing or person." When "qi" enters something else, that "something else" has become a part of you in some way. It has your "mark" on it. Just like if you wear a shirt, and then someone else wears it, you can still use 気に入る because your "qi" is all over it. You can kind of think of it like your own scent, just like how animals use their scent to mark something that is theirs (especially territory). A more pleasant way to think about it is like you have paint on your hands and the 気に入る thing is something you touch with your paint-soaked hands. Now that it has your paint on it, it has become part of you, something that you will use or find use for continually in the future. I hope this explanation helps someone, or at least provides a bit more of a "direct translation" understanding! As always thank you Kaname for your wonderful teachings! :) Much love!
If I understand correctly, it may be that the other thing has entered your "ki"... Usually, the particle "に" means that prior word is the destination. So I think it may be that the other thing has now entered your "ki". I'd think that "気が（X に）入る" (if it were a phrase) would be closer to your "ki" going into something else. However, 1) I may very well be wrong, and even if I'm right, 2) your explanation still makes some sense, but just in the opposite direction.
@@Rationalific I like your point! It could be flipped on its head and viewed in a similar way. Ofc I'm no fancy professor or anything but I see 気に入る where に is a target location particle. I.e. 「そのビルに入る」where ビル (building) is being entered (by someone or something) and not that the building is entering someone. Idk if that makes complete sense but it's cool to look at it both ways and still have it make sense one way or another loll
@@KUMA_Japanese This is interesting, there is a German idiom "to lock X into one's heart" but you can only use it for people and similarly "animated" things, because it means that you have grown extremely fond of that person in a way that is not romantic, but still inappropriate in a professional setting. It is often used in somewhat asymmetric relations that took a while to develop, like Heidi and the Grandfather.
So, it's kind of like "favorite" in English. It's kind of weird to say: "That shirt [you're wearing] is my favorite!" Because it implies that you've worn that shirt before. 気に入り = favorite 好き = like Obviously there may be more nuance, but that's the closest direct translation I could come up with.
@@OrangeC7 I don't think that it would necessarily be the same as 一番好き because, like, if you just saw a movie and plan to see it again, I don't think it would have to necessarily be your favorite movie, etc. It's probably more like "one that I really like", so I don't think you should stop using 一番好き when wanting to say "favorite"...
@@Rationalific That actually makes a lot of sense. 一番好き almost being "absolute favorite of all time" and 気に入り being "one of the favorites." That would also line up with how I see お気に入り used for when you have a "Favorites" list for music, videos, etc. in an app; They can't all be your _favorite_ favorite, but you do particularly like all of them
in English when you hire someone for a job like home repair, landscaping etc you can say something like "I like this guy, I will use him again in the future" - I think this is also a good use case for kiniiru.
Thanks for the very comprehensive & clear explanation. It has been very helpful. Btw, are you able to do a video on the differences between 気にする and 気になる？I'm always confused between the these 2. Thanks!
Ki ni suru means YOU keep it in your ki/mind *by yourself*, willingly or not it's an action. You literally "mind" it. Ki ni shinai de = don't worry, stop doing the action of worrying Ki ni naru means it made you interested. It became something in your mind by itself. It interests you, by itself, because it's interesting
Honestly where did 要先生 just pop out? His videos have all meen great from the very first one and I’ve been finally learning all the grammar principles that he’s been teaching in his videos! 要先生の動画が気に入っています！ありがとうございます！👏🏻🤩
Thank you so much for the video! It was very helpful. One thing I'd really appreciate is a video showcasing the different words that use 気. 気がする、気がづく、気が済む、気にする、気に留める、気を付ける、気を配る、気を遣う、気を引く。。。There are so many! And I've realized that native Japanese speakers are much more likely to use one of these phrases than words with similar meanings.
Just wanted to say I've been studying Japanese using just what I can find online for free (can't afford classes), and while there are a number of good people for that on RUclips, I think you're the best at explaining things in a way that's easy to grasp and giving good examples Your videos have been really helpful, keep up the good work man
JMdict and KireiCake's dictionaries seem to translate 気に入る as "to be pleased with" or "to suit", and the shirt example makes the most sense there. You don't really say "I'm pleased with your shirt" unless you wear that person's shirt but also "I'm pleased with this bar" or "I'm pleased with this seat" works as well.
The two phrases really aren't very similar. 気になる means you're intrigued about something or curious about something. So the meaning is completely different, thus the usage would be different
OMG, what is this teacher? God among the teachers. That is the kind of explanations and examples i was looked for in books/videos. You nailed, perfect!!
I like that your videos are not only very easy to understand and you somehow have a smooth way to help me memorize the things you teach me but it's also super fun to watch! Keep going!😊👏
To be able to make these concepts so clear and understandable requires not only a deep understanding of Japanese but of English. It's impressive and inspiring. I want to understand japanese as well as you understand English one day, and these videos are helping me get there. You're definitely the best japanese teacher I've ever come across online. Everything about the way you do your videos is perfect, thank you for teaching us!
Well the expression literally means that it enters the air, or enters into the soul or internal energy of a person. It vibes with you would be my translation of the Japanese.
As far as I’m concerned, there are only two people on RUclips who can convincingly pull off an entertaining two-way conversation by themselves: Kaname Naito and Ryan George (Pitch Meeting).
I’ve been waiting for long, instantly watched it when it came out. Thanks for the useful video as always, I look forward to more grammar content on your channel:)😊
15:18 Used ge instead of ki for the furigana above 気 for 気に食わない On another note, I love all the work you put into your lessons! I wish you had full from the beginning lessons, but so glad you are doing what you are. So incredibly helpful! God tier!
I really like the way you explain these nuances. Something I would really love to learn as an advanced japanese speaker. Can you also do 知らない and わからない?
I think it's helpful to keep the literal meaning of ki in mind when it's used in expressions. So it makes sense that some of your ki or spirit would only be inside something that you've used often.
From my own understanding, さすがに is used when you're expressing that something was just as you expected, or just as it should be. An example I have is from a video game I've played, where if you do things to make a certain friend happy, she'll say "さすが友達よね〜" which means "As expected from a friend~". It can be used to indicate sarcasm too (when someone didn't do what they were expected to). That Japanese Man Yuuta made a video explaining that term if you're interested in looking on his channel. The video was called "how to be sarcastic in Japanese".
As usual this is so very helpful! The examples really help and I love the time you put into the kanji and furigana. The length is good. It gives enough time to help me understand all the nuances and subtext.
i learned this somewhat recently so this video came at the perfect time. ive only seen it in reference to music (as お気に入りの曲, liked songs) so this video helps me alot
It might sound weird, but I'm conflating this sense of "ownership over time" with the object's holding some piece of the subject's 'spirit' or selfhood - which is why it relates to sentimental things like songs or barstools. In crafts like woodworking, the best tools are extensions of the craftsman's own self. Same with its use in things that are deeply disliked, since such objects of dislike tend to reflect one's self in some disturbing way. But such an understanding might be grafting a Western (i.e., Lockean) sense of ownership and private property onto a totally separate, Japanese perspective.
Your videos are so helpful Kaname-sensei!!!! The examples in this one felt so useful, textbooks just never teach language that can be used for these type of heart-to-heart conversations that happen in everyday life
ive been watching your videos a lot recently... even I know the subjects that you talk about already, hearing it from someone in details is a different experience... really nice.
Another great video from Kaname-sensei! If possible, can you try explaining sentences that involve を at the end of them? Since I'm not a JP native, I get confused on how or what is supposed to be the missing verb Japanese sometimes omit.
Here’s a quote from attack on titan episode 1 「その日人類は思い出した ヤツらに支配されていた恐怖を… 鳥籠の中に囚われていた屈辱を……」 (That day humanity remembered. The fear of being ruled by them… the humiliation of being captured in a birdcage…)(almost exact translation) In a normal word order, it would be 恐怖を思い出した or 屈辱を思い出したbut here it’s not specified what humanity remembered in the first sentence to draw attention. So the content of what humanity remembered is said afterwards. This kind of word order is not usually used in an everyday conversation though
Most of the time the verb is said somewhere earlier. People reverse word order in lyrics and narrations and such for some reason (artistic choice or something like that)
No, the OP is right. There are times when Japanese people will omit the verb because it’s obvious, and because it is easier to say. For example, 良い週末を = Have a nice weekend! This is the short version of 良い週末をお過ごしてください。You can obviously use this same phrase in other ways, like “Have a nice day” 良い1日を, “Have a nice week” 良い一週間を (though this one is not common), etc. There are many more expressions like this in Japanese.

I'm about to comment the same thing
i think, simply:
気にする = mind/care/worry
気になる = take an interest in, be curious about
Ki ni suru means YOU keep it in your ki/mind *by yourself*, willingly or not it's an action. You literally "mind" it. Ki ni shinai de = don't worry, stop doing the action of worrying
Ki ni naru means it made you interested. It became something in your mind by itself. It interests you, by itself, because it's interesting
Here is how the teacher taught us 気に入る: You have been using 好き so far, now let's stop using it and let's step up to 気に入る.
do the L for the teacher
Bro treated advanced grammar like a pokemon evolution
Well, part of what he taught us was that we should not stop using 好き because 気に入る does not completely coincide with its meaning.

I want to understand japanese as well as you understand English one day, and these videos are helping me get there. You're definitely the best japanese teacher I've ever come across online. Everything about the way you do your videos is perfect, thank you for teaching us!
Well the expression literally means that it enters the air, or enters into the soul or internal energy of a person. It vibes with you would be my translation of the Japanese.
@@hoathanatos6179You mean "spark joy?"😂
It can't be helped, I read, and thought and commented.
要先生に期待できる動画でした！
いつも詳しく説明していただいてありがとうございます。
このチャンネルを見つけてから、とても気に入っています。
「気」を使う表現の動画をお願いしてもいいですか？

この RUclips Channel が 気に入れました ❤
このレッスンが気に入りました。もう一度見ます。
素晴らしい動画です。

best japanese teacher I ever had!
This lesson is very useful for learning English as well.
I can't believe content this good is just available for free. You're amazing.
このチャンネルがお気に入りになりました。
As far as I’m concerned, there are only two people on RUclips who can convincingly pull off an entertaining two-way conversation by themselves: Kaname Naito and Ryan George (Pitch Meeting).
I’ve been waiting for long, instantly watched it when it came out. Thanks for the useful video as always, I look forward to more grammar content on your channel:)😊
15:18 Used ge instead of ki for the furigana above 気 for 気に食わない
On another note, I love all the work you put into your lessons! I wish you had full from the beginning lessons, but so glad you are doing what you are. So incredibly helpful! God tier!
I really like the way you explain these nuances. Something I would really love to learn as an advanced japanese speaker. Can you also do 知らない and わからない?
Will find some time to learn Japanese from you teacher 👍
I think it's helpful to keep the literal meaning of ki in mind when it's used in expressions. So it makes sense that some of your ki or spirit would only be inside something that you've used often.
Even including examples with だけど to tie it in with the previous lesson. You are a very good teacher.
Kaname-sensei, I really love your teaching style. Thanks for all your videos. Could you do an episode aboutさすがに？this is so confusing
From my own understanding, さすがに is used when you're expressing that something was just as you expected, or just as it should be. An example I have is from a video game I've played, where if you do things to make a certain friend happy, she'll say "さすが友達よね〜" which means "As expected from a friend~". It can be used to indicate sarcasm too (when someone didn't do what they were expected to).
That Japanese Man Yuuta made a video explaining that term if you're interested in looking on his channel. The video was called "how to be sarcastic in Japanese".
Keep doing what your doing your a great help , love how you go in depth
As usual this is so very helpful! The examples really help and I love the time you put into the kanji and furigana. The length is good. It gives enough time to help me understand all the nuances and subtext.
Thanks! Helpful as always!
このビデオ気に入っているんです！！！
Excellent video. Very clear and easy to understand. Thanks!
かなめ先生は私のお気に入りの日本語先生なんですよ！
As a japanese student i find this very useful ! Will you ever bring the uses of ところ ?? it's a word the brings me plenty of headaches >.
Thank you for great explanation sensei
Excellent
Enlightened ✨ Thank you
Great explanation. Thanks
when i learned this phrase it got translated with "to like and be pleased with" which i think captures the "being used" part quite well!
Thanks for the great lesson!
Thanks so much for explaining 気にいる as before this video I even thought about it’s the same way as 好き。
i learned this somewhat recently so this video came at the perfect time. ive only seen it in reference to music (as お気に入りの曲, liked songs) so this video helps me alot
せんせい、
Your examples are the best! Thank you and warm regards from Brazil!
you really understand the learner’s mind! your examples are super clear…
分かりやすくて、すごく勉強になりました‼️ありがとうございました。
とても面白いですありがとうございます！便利です ！メキシコからこんにちわ!!
このチャンネルが気に入っています。😁
You are the best. I love your videos. Please make about how to use と言った/と言われた❤
Such a useful video! I really appreciate the many long examples. ありがとうございます！
It might sound weird, but I'm conflating this sense of "ownership over time" with the object's holding some piece of the subject's 'spirit' or selfhood - which is why it relates to sentimental things like songs or barstools. In crafts like woodworking, the best tools are extensions of the craftsman's own self. Same with its use in things that are deeply disliked, since such objects of dislike tend to reflect one's self in some disturbing way.
But such an understanding might be grafting a Western (i.e., Lockean) sense of ownership and private property onto a totally separate, Japanese perspective.
Your videos are so helpful Kaname-sensei!!!!
The examples in this one felt so useful, textbooks just never teach language that can be used for these type of heart-to-heart conversations that happen in everyday life
I really appreciate your ability to get into character for examples.
I really want to learn more about 気がする too, I hear it a lot.
I love how you use so many examples. tame ni narimashia. ^__^ Arigatou gozaimasu, sensei
😊意味は中国語の「心水」と一緒だね。わかりやすく説明してくれてありがとうー
このRUclipsチャンネル、面白いだろうね。すごく気に入ってるんだ！
Love to watch your video, thank you very much!
Learning so much from these videos. Thanks.
Ohhh, thank you for this clear explanation! I always wondered how exactly 気に入る gets used :)
ive been watching your videos a lot recently... even I know the subjects that you talk about already, hearing it from someone in details is a different experience... really nice.
Super useful as always, thanks!
This used to be a very confusing word for me. But... One minute into the video and I already understand perfectly...😂 he's good.
Thanks, I often see 気に入る from the seiyuus that I follow at Twitter. Now I understand their tweet more.
Your acting is so amazing!! Love this!!
分かりました。ありがとうございます。
Another great video from Kaname-sensei!
If possible, can you try explaining sentences that involve を at the end of them? Since I'm not a JP native, I get confused on how or what is supposed to be the missing verb Japanese sometimes omit.
I've only heard/seen this in songs so far on my learning journey but Even when I see the translated lyrics I don't often understand it either lol.
I often hear it in really formal speech in anime, where the verb is omitted and it ends with を. But even without a verb the sentence is understood
Here’s a quote from attack on titan episode 1
「その日人類は思い出した ヤツらに支配されていた恐怖を… 鳥籠の中に囚われていた屈辱を……」
(That day humanity remembered. The fear of being ruled by them… the humiliation of being captured in a birdcage…)(almost exact translation)
In a normal word order, it would be 恐怖を思い出した or 屈辱を思い出したbut here it’s not specified what humanity remembered in the first sentence to draw attention. So the content of what humanity remembered is said afterwards. This kind of word order is not usually used in an everyday conversation though
Most of the time the verb is said somewhere earlier. People reverse word order in lyrics and narrations and such for some reason (artistic choice or something like that)
No, the OP is right. There are times when Japanese people will omit the verb because it’s obvious, and because it is easier to say. For example, 良い週末を = Have a nice weekend! This is the short version of 良い週末をお過ごしてください。You can obviously use this same phrase in other ways, like “Have a nice day” 良い1日を, “Have a nice week” 良い一週間を (though this one is not common), etc. There are many more expressions like this in Japanese.
かなめさんの例文が本当に気にいる😂
The best sensei!
You make the most interesting videos. Thanks!
Really like the examples to make things more understandable
Thank you so much for clarifying this 👍👍😊
