    That's reversed, Sora-sensei.
    In the reality you're American, while Dogen-sensei is Japanese.
    Nice try tho for trying to convince us the opposite.

    The blue/green thing is more interesting than even this explanation, because it's actually a language issue. Midori is a relatively new word and historically ao has meant both blue and green. This isn't weird, many languages divide colors up differently; there is no absolute answer for what falls in which category.
    Japan's green traffic lights are often bluer than average because of what they're called and I've seen signs depicting traffic lights that show them as very much more blue than green.
    My girlfriend uses the word "ao" very much more often than "midori" and usually unless something is like a vibrant, grass green, she'll use "ao". This actually leads to mixups when she speaks English as she sometimes calls things "blue" that we would definitely call "green".

    • @francisnopantses1108
      @francisnopantses1108 9 месяцев назад +11

      Although even in the US for whatever reason blue-green bulbs as well as Kelly green have been considered acceptable for traffic signal heads. With the switch to LEDs they have changed again to a consistent diode green. But in the past the color really did vary across a spectrum.
      But yeah it's mostly about semantic space.

    • @84rinne_moo
      @84rinne_moo 9 месяцев назад +8

      Yea some words follow this pattern too like aodake (green bamboo) or aojiru (green juice) both which are more green really. Although the term “ryokucha” is pretty common for standard green tea, it uses the kanji for “midori” green.

    • @84rinne_moo
      @84rinne_moo 9 месяцев назад +6

      Although additionally I was just in Japan recently and we did a road trip and all the lights I saw looked very green. Although my husband thought some looked bluish so maybe it’s how some ppl see it? Lol

    • @DevynCairns
      @DevynCairns 9 месяцев назад +6

      @@84rinne_moo There are international standards that regulate the range of color that's allowed, it still has to look 'green', but I do think it's generally quite a relatively blue green compared to some other places.

      If you count city centre to city centre journey, I'm sure there must already be several regular Shinkansen trips that are faster than the equivalent regular plane, when you take transit to/from the airport into account .. just as there are many other examples of that around the world.

    Not many creators making English/Japanese humor content. Team up more! Lot of overlap in your viewers. When I saw Dogen RASENGAN the first time and saw you comment it brought me great joy.

    It's legitimately fascinating to learn that the entirety of Japan has enough shrines/temples to outnumber all of its convenience stores combined.
    Damn, that's really something.

    About Japan, i know a lot about cars, i am a passionate fan of japanese cars 🇯🇵, especially about the Skyline R34 GT-R, king of japanese cars and my favorite japanese car, i learned a lot about Japan that has to do with the good manners and hygiene, Japan is a respectable country, for me who dream of setting foot on japanese soil for the first time, i already know at least that Japan is a very different country, i know even more things, but the main thing i really need to know, is the japanese language, i really enjoy the japanese language and hearing Sora speaking japanese 🇯🇵

  • @Sparky_007
    @Sparky_007 10 месяцев назад +15

    I really wonder if Dogen was able to retain enough of his original identify after immersing himself into the Japanese culture SO MUCH so as to speak the language as well as he does.
    Indeed, to speak a language fluently is to be able to adopt to a very high degree the mannerisms and cultural values of that country. Especially Japanese.
    I find this hard to do as, just like I disagree strongly about various things from my origin culture of America, I also feel the same way about some things from the Japanese culture.
    Thus I'm stuck in the middle and don't think I'll ever be able to speak Japanese well enough to be considered 'fluent' in the language.

    • @childofcascadia
      @childofcascadia 9 месяцев назад

      I dont know about that. I speak (but not read) Japanese at a conversational level, albeit with an American accent, but native Japanese speakers have no issue understanding me.
      Im extremely culturally a pacific northwesterner. I have never spent much time in Japan.
      Culture defines language, not the other way around. If you are conversationally fluent, you will have no problem talking in the language to native speakers regardless of your own culture.

    • @Sparky_007
      @Sparky_007 9 месяцев назад

      I can speak conversationally. Enough to have general conversations. But still lack some grammar and vocabulary that can make it rough. Outside of that the difficulty is all the formality levels, needless counting methods, the mixing of hiragana/katakana word exceptions, the Kanji and add the ON/KUN meanings, sonkeigo and the like. It's just a very complicated language. French is way easier for me.

    In this video we learned that Sora is Nihonjin and Dogen is Japanese. While those terms may seem equal they are not.
