An element of "rough" speech that I notice a lot is the trilled/rolled R's, e.g. 2:54 ("ikuzo korrra~!"). Sheena Ringo does that a lot in her older songs (e.g. "Tsumi to Batsu", "Marunouchi Sadistic", "Honnou"), some of which are about the difficulties of life.
Standard Japanese doesn't have rolled r's. Most Japanese can't roll their r's and they don't need to. The rolled r thing is called makijita and, besides its association with gangster talk in popular culture, it's used as a technique to improve one's enunciation. Shiina Ringo was not the first female singer to use a lot of makijita, there was Jun Togawa before her.
its really tough to do if you are not a native speaker. When I livedin Japan I saw a argument between 2 people outside a supermarket and another inside a macdonalds. They were trilling their Rs. Pretty intense.
Now I know why my Japanese friend looked at me with a panic look when I used those ways of talking. The guy just keep telling me to stop watching anime :v He told me it sounds rough, but I never knew it was THAT rough :v
Great! I treasure the videos giving a broader perspective over the language with just enough details. Super useful not only to be able to understand what's being said, but also sense the mood and have an idea of who's the person talking. Would love to hear something about outdated Japanese older generations still use, some archaic expression that are still in use while the grammar behind them not anymore, as well as some situational Japanese: talking with classmates (which you mentioned in this video), family, coworkers, parents in law, neighbors, close friends, acquaintances, and so on. I guess I have a difficulty judging the expected level of politeness and formality and selecting appropriate expressions. How to sound friendly in some situations and not too friendly in other? It's easy to grasp the meaning behind words and grammar points, but difficult to get how they "feel" (without massive amounts of exposure). Happened to me more than once that I sounded too rough/impolite without my intention which got me into trouble and served as a huge discouragement in my studies.
In Detective Conan, I think I hear Conan likes to address close friends like Ran or enemies like Kaito Kid by something sound like "Omae" as well, or at least when he talks in his teenager manner.
"I say, young fellow, verily you seem to have put your seeding implement in your most honorable mother's loins. De gozaru." Is that the kind of thing a Japanese bad boy might say ?
Yankii. xD That's the word you are looking for. This video has way less Takeshi Kitano and Crows than I expected, but perhaps it's just that my references are getting too old at this point... xD But school delinquents will always, always make me remember Cromartie. xD
in regards of honorifics as in 9:49 i _encourage_ japanese speakers to not refer me with honorifics (perhaps you rarely hear ‘yobisute kudasai/呼び捨てください’ but i’ll make sure of that being well-heard) except if they refer me as a third person. just like i don’t want people to refer me as ‘sir’, ‘mister’, or if you’re familiar with southeast asia, ‘pak’, or ‘pak cik’. just call me by name _or_ use ‘mas’, a title used by my people to refer to young men (javanese here btw)
the kunjugation in japanese is fairly easy but the nuances are very deep . e.g for the muzukashikunai you can just think of naruto with his kunai...the worst think of learning Japanese is that Japanese people rarely correct you. I was lucky the last day where one of my sempais corrected me which I truly appreciated. I used dattara instead of sou suru to
Although, I'm watching your videos without trying to learn Japanese, I find them interesting even though I plan to only learn Japanese a decade down the line in life.
This is the funnest Japanese channel Yuta. Having a Japanese wife and getting little refinements like this to what I hear, then described by you, together around her, is omoshiroi to say the least.
this is actually super informataive. i always wondered if putting か at the end of sentences sounded right or not, now i realize i might have come across as too aggressive to my Japanese friends 😅
Honestly your tone and demeanor mean a lot more in conversation. You can always get away with bad language especially if you don't know what it means. Lots of Japanese say weird bad english words l
Yuta can you make a video about the words like わざわざ、ぎりぎり、もともと etc whether they are used or not, because of the anime since they say they can't be learned, idk these kinds of words that sound rare are really used in real life jsjw
I love how little purpose this lessons has. :D Let me teach you how to say things in japanese, that you will most likely never use, unless your ambitions include becoming a yakuza in japan.
@@yanneyanenchannel Exactly. Before learning about how rude "no ka" is, I accidentally used it quite a lot when in Japan because I was never taught not to.
Hi Yuta, When I was taking Japanese in high school, I and my classmates would often say farewell by saying "死んではないで", rather than saying something like "じゃあ" or " まったね". I don't recall the teacher ever correcting us on this. How would you rate it?
I don't think real Japanese people say goodbyes by exclaiming that they aren't dead. They'd say something like お疲れ様 which is part of the longer phrase お疲れ様でした which means "thank you for your hard work". Or just また明日 which means "see you tomorrow"
Had a japanese 'bad boy' friend growing up so I learned certain expressions in that fashion, I realized when I'm fluent I too will probably sound a little...bad boyish lol
2nd comment: Yuta, you have a great series of how anime characters speak Japanese. Please do Itsuki Nakano from the quintessential quintuplets or any or all the 7 main characters in TQQ. How they speak Japanese I believe is very important to understanding the plot eg the honorifics, the lost in translation stuff (eg when they say things like tsurui, hatsukoi, uso, tachi, fukuzatsu Vs taihen, mote etc that are removed from the dub). I compiled a lot of the lost in translation stuff in r/gotoubun Something to consider about Itsuki: The Quintessential Quintuplets' character types are: Ichika - Onee-san / ara ara, Nino - tsundere, miku - kuudere / dandere, Yotsuba - genki Itsuki - ?? - Tsundere like Nino? - Eat-suki? - Imouto? - Someone who speaks keigo to their siblings, to Fuutarou and to Raiha and to everyone basically? Actually, the main thing I learned from Yuta's videos that keigo is basically just desu, masu & their variations. I swear when I learned elementary Japanese in bachelor's (foreign language classes are required in universities in the Philippines) we were never even taught the word keigo. All this time I had no idea Itsuki was the only quint and actually only main character who was talking keigo to EVERYONE. Anyway, I have a theory as to what Itsuki's type is, but you're not gonna like it...
I'm curious as to why some of these forms are considered rude. Do they literally translate to something specific? Is there an etymological story behind some of them? Here in Brazil there are forms of speech associated with “underclass”, “slums” and “drug dealers”. Sometimes they are just a sign of belonging to these groups, other times the expressions actually mean something in a rude way and there are less rude synonyms.
Yes. Yuta uses the wrong term, as contraction involves a shrinking, whereas in this case the length remains the same. Monophthongization is fairly accurate. Oi, ai, ui are not exactly diphthongs per se (they can be pronounced as two syllables and they count as two moras) although they do wind up being pronouced as diphthongs most of the time.
Interesting, I've often noticed this - most notably the change to -ee - in the Yakuza games as well as some anime, and I could just tell from the intonation that it was meant to come across as rougher. But I didn't know how or where it's actually formed from.
Ai → ee is typical of Tokyo dialect, not of Kansai. Standard Japanese (hyōjungo or kyōtsūgo, the latter translatable as “common laguage”) is based on the Japanese spoken in the Tokyo area, but it’s a polished version of that - some features of the dialect historically used by Tokyo’s lower classes ended up being framed as characteristic of rude, hypermasculine speech in the common language.
@@mattiamele3015 interesting, makes sense I guess, but it's gotta be true that people from the Kansai region at least now use it more commonly, right? A lot of my friends from that region say stuff like 下だせぇ instead of ください and じゃねぇ instead of じゃない, as well as commonly using 分かんね instead of the Tokyo dialect's 分かんない (though I've seen one use both) It just seems more common for people not from Tokyo to use that style of speech/text rather than people from Tokyo, even if it originally belonged to Tokyo...
@@UzumakiHarutoJP I don't know, none of those are Kansai dialect expressions. Both wakannē 分かんねぇ and wakannai 分かんない are Tokyo dialect or hyōjungo, but the form in ē is kind of rude while the other is just very casual. I've never come across 下せぇ kudasē, and it sounds weird since kudasai is a polite word and the ai to ē thing is rough so it only works in non-polite language. I'm not an expert of Kansai dialect, but from what I could see the -nai in verbs typically becomes -hen: wakaranai should be wakarahen or wakarehen or just wakaran. Then, じゃねぇ is absolutely different from its Kansai-ben counterpart which is やない.
Having learned Japanese by myself, my way of speaking is apparently a rather eclectic mix of 丁寧語、タメ口、関西便、and some archaic words that used to be common some 40-70 years ago. 😂 Gotta keep people guessing, but it at least seems to make me more approachable.
@@matoikazamaki9522 Did you make up the term interruption marker? It's not an interruption at all and it's not really a marker. It doesn't have a sound by itself but it's a kana (a letter, if you will) like all the others. It makes the following consonant longer (geminate). If you speak a language that uses geminate consonants, like Italian, Hungarian, Finnish or Arabic, it's really easy to get that. At the end of a word, however, it acts similarly to an interjection mark. It's unclear how it's supposed to be pronounced in that case, and it's mostly used in manga or informal writing that mimics casual speech. This particular usage of small tsu is dictated by expressive purposes rather than any phonetic reasons. It does not, anyway, lengthen the vowel before it (as opposed to ー).
@@mattiamele3015 I'm sorry, I didn't find any accurate way to name it nor to describe what it does. What I meant was basically that you had to "hold" the consonnant before pronouncing. Sorry if that was misleading

From what I've heard, "Zo" is sometimes used in real life, while "Ze" is used only in anime.
