Hey George, you can put an asterisk before a kana/kanji if you want search something that doesn't start with what you search, at jisho.org. For example if you just search "所" it gives 22 common words, but if you instead search "*所" now you end up with 65 common words. Actually, you can "quote" what you search with an asterisk at both ends (apparently youtube bolds the word if you use asterisk around a word). Now it searches in the middle as well. I found out about this when I went into "kanji details" and saw they have put "words containing", "words beginning with", "words ending with" search links. So when I clicked on those I saw they put that asterisk in the search.
Yes! I just keep forgetting this is a show I wanted to make. I end up doing "Japanese in 5!" and "Japanese Daily" shows instead during the live stream. Thanks for reminding me. I will try to do some this Friday during the live stream! (follow on twitter to get notified of stream times)
Well I actually finally have made a series that goes in order. It's called "Japanese From Zero! Video". Here is the playlist: ruclips.net/video/RsrakMT1h2g/видео.html
Yes ive already finished watching all the videos in that playlist yesterdat :) took down notes and kept on practicing. A lot of help!! Thank you very much! Your an awesome teacher !
ol i've seen you before on the jvloggers channels xD i know i just sounded as a creep lol, and im also asking myself the same thing so JFZ pls answer xD
well I see this was two months ago but just for anyone wondering... mou tabeta would be a general statement. IE: " you want to eat?.. mou tabeta" (already did) and tabeta toko desu would mean just at that exact point I finished eating. So if you were one the phone with someone and they said "isshoni tabetai desu ka? you could say "tabeta tokoro desu yo"... (I literally Just finished eating!)
was trying to explain something about a point in a video in japanese and i couldn't remember if i was supposed to say basho or tokoro so i had to search for this video >_> i unlearned, but i think i'm good now
***** It's something I've just picked up from experience ^^ I think the reason it's hard to find is because it's not really a general purpose suffix like it is in English--some words that end in -er in English have their own separate word in Japanese. For example, teacher is 教師, and saying 教え手 instead of 教師 would sound strange. In general, if there isn't already a dictionary word for the -er word you want to say in Japanese, adding 手 should get the point across :) abacus.bates.edu/~kofuji/StudyResources/kanji.html

Oh thanks! I really like Jisho.org and that feature is something I felt it missed.
If you go to kanji details on Jisho. org, you can select if you want it to be in the beginning, middle, or end, or even see sentences using the kanji.
Very, very interesting and good to know!!!
thanks for the explanation you are a helpful teacher
あなたわいい先生です
nice video, thanks for that! I wonder if you are continuing this series, your answers are great!
Yes! I just keep forgetting this is a show I wanted to make. I end up doing "Japanese in 5!" and "Japanese Daily" shows instead during the live stream. Thanks for reminding me. I will try to do some this Friday during the live stream! (follow on twitter to get notified of stream times)
Sooooo helpful! Thank you so much!
ありがとうございました！！
The Nagoya sumo basho is now taking place. Is that the same 'basho'?
Useful. Thanks for headsup on your dictonary.
Interesting! So, to say you just did something, you put "toko" after the "-ta" ending of a verb?
Very useful info. Currently learning how to write the kanji :)
When is Japanese from 0 book 5 coming out? There's a picture of it in the front cover of book 2 ;)

i thought that tokoro is only used with de(full:tokoro de) which probably(haven't checked yet) means: btw.
What's the difference between naisho and himitsu?
So what about a place that doesn't exist for real, but in a book? Can I use basho with that?
ol i've seen you before on the jvloggers channels xD i know i just sounded as a creep lol, and im also asking myself the same thing so JFZ pls answer xD
Haha that's awesome. Have you check out my channel? I make videos from Japan too.
英語の勉強にもなります
how do you use "he said" "she said" ?
You are awesome my friend! ありがとう本当に。 keep it up, I will try to catch up! ;-)
hello sir, does saying もうたべた instead of たべたとこです make a difference? :)
well I see this was two months ago but just for anyone wondering... mou tabeta would be a general statement. IE: " you want to eat?.. mou tabeta" (already did) and tabeta toko desu would mean just at that exact point I finished eating. So if you were one the phone with someone and they said "isshoni tabetai desu ka? you could say "tabeta tokoro desu yo"... (I literally Just finished eating!)
Thank you for helping. I missed this comment. Your answer is absolutely correct.
もうたべた。I already ate.
たべたとこです。I just ate.
How does it differ from 食べたばかり, though?
probably doesn't in any way at all except that it's shorter
Ah, thanks!

いつもどおり華麗なビデオになりました！でもね、お願いがありますね、「ひらく」と「あく」の違いについて説明してくれませんかー それを何度理解しようとしても、僕は決して分かりませんよ。泣

開く（あく）は自動詞で、開く（ひらく）は他動詞です。

How do I say -er in japanese? Let me explain what I mean.
Drive - driver
Fight - fighter
Do - doer
Oshiete kudasai!
Put 手 after the stem of the verb.
運転する becomes 運転し手
戦う becomes 戦い手

Thank you very much! Where did you find this information? I can't seem to find it from any other source.

Thank you very much for help. I couldn't find this anywhere.
sugoine!!
Helpful! I wish the presentation was a bit better, though--sometimes being too casual can dilute what you're trying to say.
