"But" in Japanese - でも (demo)? けど (kedo)? しかし (shikashi)? が (ga)?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 июл 2024
- There are several ways to say "however" or "but" in Japanese. I will cover でも demo, しかし shikashi, けど kedo, and が "ga" in this lesson. The example sentence used in the lesson is "My father drinks green tea every morning, but he doesn't drink coffee." Learn how each of でも demo, しかし shikashi, けど kedo, and が ga is used to connect the two sentences.

Because of your videos, I was able to understand this topic way more than I did before. Thank you!!
You are absolutely right
私も！
ありがとうございました！ For some reason, in my study of Japanese I was never told that が is so formal. I assumed it was the most simple way to say "but", and I have been overusing it. I will switch to けど。
Same as me. Moreover, my father, who was a Japanese native speaker, also said "shikashi" quite often, in daily situations. So I am not very sure about this distinction between formal and informal conversation in Japanese.
@@mauras.5338 because he is old..lol
yep oldies tend to be more formal in conversation
im 1 year late but i think shikashi adds a dramatic effect or suspense on sentence to sound intimidating
Me too!
Very easy to understand. And the best part is you always show what is more commonly used in real life, not just giving out a bunch of words and tell us to memorize. Subscribed!
Oh WOW, you're good!! I got more in this short 10 min example than I've gotten out of other 1 hour long videos!
I subscribed because of this video. I prefer learning daily, conversational Nihongo rather than the stiff, formal ones in textbooks. ありがとうございます、ゆこせんせい！🙂
Ahhh I feel more confident in understanding は now... I wasn't expecting that. I stopped learning Japanese for what feels like ages. So coming back to basics is refreshing. I've subscribed!
Great and concise explanation. Much appreciated. ありがとうございます。
Glad youtube recommended this video to me. Very educational, thank you!
貴方の教訓は非常に明確です。 とても楽しんでいます。ありがとうございます😊。
Excellent lesson! Exactly what I was searching for! Keep uo the good work!
本当にありがとうゆこ先生！i'm often watching japanese videos and I wasn't sure how they were saying "but", now I know how they do and how to use them !
先生、ありがとうございました。とてもわかりやすいです。先生の説明は本当に最高と思います。先生は素晴らしいです。
perfect lesson and very easy to understand ありがとうございます
Wow that's a great explanation. In Chapter 8 of Genki I it teaches using が instead of けど at the end of a main clause for "but" not just for formal writing, but for speaking also.
I liked the video. The material was so simple that just about everyone can follow it, and you highlighted the differences very well. I think I learned about these things a long time ago, but had totally forgotten about ga being used in mainly formal text. A good reminder lesson!
ありがとうございますゆこせんせい
Very clear です！
You are the best Japanese teacher I have ever found in RUclips. Because you are explaining perfectly. Arigato!
Short, clear and precise, this is a very good video. Good job!
Never seen such a clear and simple explanation. Thank you very much!
ありがとう ございます！ 🙂 Your video tutorial makes me understand nihonggo more easy. Have a great day.
このビデオは本当にありがとうございます！いつだってこれは難しい思いますけど今わかりますよ！ありがとう。🙏🏼
Yuko Sensei can´t thank you enough....have no idea how grateful. Keep up the good work.!!!
Very well explained. Thank you, Sensei
Very nice lesson. Clear explanation and your use of graphics really illustrated your points well. Thanks!
I love Yuko Sensei's videos. The points are so focused and clearly explained.
Arigatoo gozaimasu, Tim-san. Thank you for taking the time to leave positive feedback. (^^)
These classes are amazing. They are helping me keeping my Japanese skills on!
I can speak some Japanese, but there were certain parts of it that I was struggling with. You were the one that helped me grab a hold of those parts. ありがとうございます先生、あなたは最高です！
All your videos are very helpful.. ありがとうございます 🙏🏻
Bless teachers so hard、ありがとうございます。
I am embarrassed to say it took me over 10 years to figure this out. I really wasted a lot of time trying to read books. I really don't know how it didn't enter my mind to come to youtube a long long long time ago. I swear dudes some times I'm so stupid lol. My gosh this was so so so helpful. Perfect. Thank you so much.
I'm glad the lesson was helpful.
So, Japanese don't use the direct object marker を all that much in regular speech? Using は 3 times in a sentence makes me fear confusion.
@@leavewe Well, according to the video, you obviously can, and it's more natural too. The other two は are not used as topic marker, but contrast markers. This is not the first time I've come across something like this, though I tend to forget. Most textbooks don't really teach conversational Japanese
She said to use it in this way when you want to make contrast, not necessarily as a substitute of "wo"
She actually gave good advice if you want to sound like a native Japanese. The style taught in textbooks dont always sound natural and natives will notice it.
@@zeroedout lmao natives will know ur not japanese anyway bc of either how u look or your accent. Like cmon xD
@@amandal.1422 but native speakers will be more than happy if you sound less textbook-like. Most people learn foreign language and yearns to sound like native speaker as smooth as silk, I mean, who doesn't. This teacher gives you the tip. :)
Very well explained. ありがとうございます！
Thank you, Yuko sensei, for sending me the lesson to help clarify the use of 'ga'.
While watching some japanese vtubers, I often hear a certain "kedo" sound when they talk. I didn't know what it meant until I saw this lesson.
Thank you for your lessons! They are short but very concise! :D
But sometimes i hear they use "kedo" at the end of a sentence if i'm not mistaken
Do you have any recommendations for Japanese channels? I would like to find a few more for listening comprehension practice.
Is the only one I know, but It might help
@@ryankhalid7909 same bruh
@@FlowUrbanFlow I know it's two months late, and meanwhile vtubers have exploded all over youtube, but I'd recommend Okayu for starting out. Her way of speaking is very mellow, clear, and a bit slow-paced, so ideal for getting used to it. If you feel like having a challenge, try Houshou Marine
Wowww so clear.I can easy to understand this lesson.Thank you so much sensei💕💕💕
your videos are simply perfect. you explain every concept very clearly and your videos help me lot. thanks for your hard work!
I came to learn about different forms of "but", and ended up learning more about native speech patterns as well! 素晴らしいビデオだったと思いますよ! また教えてくれてありがとうございます~
Thank you for this video! I've been self teaching myself japanese since quite a while, but a lot of textbooks or online videos teach it in a very very formal way, basically not an everyday use. It makes you sound like a robot talking
ありがとうございました先生。
Great video Sensei. Love how it was so simple and easy to understand.
Thank you, very helpful - more conjunctions please!!
This revolutionised my understanding & memory of Japanese, my mind had gone hazy with regard to a couple particles yet I never knew of this particular alternate use for は. Fascinating, 有難うございます。
どういたしまして。I'm glad the lesson was helpful. 😊
面白かったですよ！先生ありがとう！
フランス人だけど、全ての単語を分かりました。
Thank you, very helpful - more conjunctions please!good japanese lesson
Very useful and understandable explanation for the use of but and however in Japanese. I was aware of all forms just not when to use them and how exactly. Thanks a lot :)
ありがとうございます！本当に助けました！
Amazing lesson and very valuable. Thank you Yuko sensei!
Mam i love your lesson so much, it really helps learning the easy way
Thank you so much, sensei 😍😍
Yuko Sensei, your explanations are so clear and logical! どうもありがとうございます。🌸
very well explained, thank you
Wow! I am new to Japanese and I am learning it little by little. Thank you very much for teaching me! I appreciate your lessons and I will get in touch to your channel to learn more
are you fluent now?
Thank you sensei, plz teach us difference between きっと, はっきり and 確か.
Extremely helpful!
ありがとうございます！
It seems like I found my Japanese teacher. Thank you, Yuko Sensei!
Because of this I now clearly understand how to use these conjunctions. Before, i didn't know demo can only be used at the start of the sentence. I thought it can also be used to join two clauses in a sentence. 先生、ありがとうございます。🤩
Thank @youtube for the recomm.! I haven't learned this
Your explanations are very clear, thankyou!
Great lesson! Very clear and concise
ありがとうございます！ゆこ先生

Really good topic.
ありがとうございます
Amazing lesson!

Thank you for this lesson! I kept hearing 'すけど' while listening to anime, but of course when I searched it up, it got no hits because the 'す' was actually the 'ます' ending. But now I know!
Fantastic video and explanation.
