I was going crazy. I've been studying Japanese for a while and no one had ever explained me the different usages of the family vocabulary so well as you did. Thank you soooo much.
Here is my answer Yuko sensei : いいえ そぼは ルーマニア人 です Thank you so much for this video , I clearly understood . I'm happy to learn from you . You're a great teacher ❗
Hello Yuko sensei 👋 I have just started learning Japanese and I can’t understand any lesson until i started searching and discovering your channel. You are a great teacher! You explained everything very well . Please continue inspiring people . It’s fun learning with you yuko san ☺️ - love from the Philippines 🇵🇭
When I was in my younger years I was called immature when I used the word 'Chichi'. Today, I'm immature if I don't use the word 'Chichi'. Life is funny like that.
Well, like in most languages - the words for your parents (coming from a child) usually are made up of some of the first sounds a child makes (お父 and お母, or papá and mamá) so that'sssss.... coooolllllll I guess.
Randomly stumbled upon this channel and I love it!! Your lessons are so simple to understand. Sentences in Japanese confuse me a lot, but I understood everything when you explained it :D
I'm starting to learn (or at least starting to think about learning more seriously and methodically) Japanese by watching a several videos. Undoubtedly your videos are very well made, well explained and easy to memorize. Furthermore, your voice overflows with sympathy and tenderness, which makes the learning process a much more pleasant experience. Thank you very much. 😊 I have already taken a look at your website and I would love to take your courses.
いいえ、そぼは フィリピン人 です。 I finished this video in one sitting. I so loved it. Very deatailed and easy to understand. I remember my class about it. I just need to improve and increase my vocab, master the grammar rule and proper use of particles.
English has a number of words and expressions to designate the figure of 'father', some of which are more or less formal, and some are endearing. 'Father' is obviously the most formal one. 'Dad' is neutral. And then we have an array of endearing words and expressions that may be used to call the father directly or to talk about him to friends like - daddy, pa, pap(s), old man. Some fathers might not like to be called 'old man', but their children might refer to their father as 'old man' when talking about him to friends. Obviously, boundaries and usages seem to be more blurred in English than in Japanese, but in some contexts they do exist.
So the word that sounds like onomatopoeia (chichi) is the formal one and the one with three syllables and the word -San in it is the INFORMAL one, okay Japanese
Yuko sensei ありがとうございます。your videos are very helpful and well done. I got the answers right but they were longer I could have omitted some info. Like I said でも、友だちのお母さはえいごがわかりません。 And for the last one I said はい、アメリカ人です
Teriさん、I provided ふりがな (furigana = reading of Kanji in Hiragana) on top of each Kanji word in the lesson. I usually don't do that in class because they are required to learn Kanji readings. But for this lesson, I added furigana for your convenience.
I could've sworn it was the other way around because for me it seemed that ,for a very young child it would be much easier to pronounce "haha" / "chichi " especially when you are calling your own parents to come quickly,
Time and again, I have to say "thank you" to you Yuko Sensei for your systematic and graphic description of the complicated family relationship among Japanese culture. Albeit complicated, it is interesting. My first language is Cantonese, major and teach English.
@@verajacob9155 They are quite interchangable but when you say 家 (うち) its a bit more personal, it's like saying home over house, house could be described as 家 (いえ)
It's not incorrect. It is ok while you are young and having a casual conversation with someone or with friends. うちのお父さん or うちのお母さん won't be acceptable at a job interview though. Also, the majority of people in their 40s, 50s, 60s, and older wouldn't use them either even chatting with friends because youth can be no longer an excuse for not knowing proper Japanese at those ages. While young, it depends on how mature you want to sound to others. Hope this helps!
@@Jerrahmaehgameplay Norman wrote "uchi no otousan" and "uchi no okaasan”. "uchi no" is another way of saying "my", while the otousan and okaasan was explained by Yuko Sensei. "Otousan" can be written with the kanji 父(taking the sounds of tou) which is leading to your confusion. I've only just started learning myself though, so don't ask me anything else ;)
Uhm hello! I've just discovered you're channel and i'm a new subscriber, i was wondering is there a difference between using "chan" And "san"? And does One-san means older sister & does Onii-chan means older brother? Is there a difference? And does this terms correct? 👇👇 Oyagi - papa Okachan- mama
"Oneisan" is "older sister", but can be used to mean "miss" when addressing a young woman. "Oniisan" would be "older brother" or "young man" when addressing a young man. "Onii-chan" would probably only be used by a young child. "Oyaji" means "one's father", but you wouldn't use this normally. A child would probably say "(o)tou-san" or "tou-chan", but normally you use "otousan" or "chi-chi" if you are refering to your own father. "Okaa-chan" is what a child might use to say "mom", the proper form is "o-kaa-san", or "haha" if you want to refer to your own mother when talking to others.
@@jaycee330 I call my younger brother "chan", haha! And what would you consider a "child"? (Age group and such) I would never call my parents "chan" though :0

The best explanation ever..
Now I understand
i was wondering which one to use this is perfect omg ありがとう 先生！
This is super helpful, the class I went almost 3 years ago was slightly confusing to follow along, thanks for the clarification🖤 ありがとうございます！
Ironically 父sounds more cute and akin to daddy as おとうさんsounds like father 😅
Yes, I was thinking the same..
Right!!?
Well, like in most languages - the words for your parents (coming from a child) usually are made up of some of the first sounds a child makes (お父 and お母, or papá and mamá) so that'sssss.... coooolllllll I guess.
That's what I thought too. Also, Americans, especially girls like me, usually will say daddy when talking about him.
Arigatou gozaimashita, bestttt teacher

I’m glad there’s no romaji! I don’t like to rely on that; it’s a handicap! I just hope there’s a representation in Hiragana! I’m very new to Kanji🤗
Teriさん、I provided ふりがな (furigana = reading of Kanji in Hiragana) on top of each Kanji word in the lesson. I usually don't do that in class because they are required to learn Kanji readings. But for this lesson, I added furigana for your convenience.
Romaji is definitely annoying :0 I much prefer Hiragana, since I am unable to read most Kanji, being a beginner(?) level student.
It would be quite embarrassing to say "My father works at Microsoft, where does your Daddy work?" 😁

I could've sworn it was the other way around because for me it seemed that ,for a very young child it would be much easier to pronounce "haha" / "chichi " especially when you are calling your own parents to come quickly,

Thank you very much for this lesson. I personally don't like romaji, so I preferred the video without.

It's great that you already know Hiragana & Katakana. Learning Japanese in Japanese letters are the best approach.

そふとそばはアメリカ人です。でも、そばはアルゼンチンで育(そだ)ちました。
(育つ = "grow up", right?)
Yes, "grow up" is 育つ so アルゼンチンで育ちました is perfect. Just be careful not to call your grandmother（そぼ）nooldes （そば）;-)
いえ,そぼはぴりぴんじんです
Im still learning katakana atm sorry 😅 pure hira for now. Looking at this. Now i know why hira and kata is easier to read
Remember it's いいえ with two iis because いえ me with only one I means house
@@bullskiter5362 Could you tell me which I should use? My Japanese teacher had me use "うち", not "いえ", but I have seen "いえ" more commonly...
@@verajacob9155 They are quite interchangable but when you say 家 (うち) its a bit more personal, it's like saying home over house, house could be described as 家 (いえ)
otoosan sounds better than chichi

Uhm hello! I've just discovered you're channel and i'm a new subscriber,
i was wondering is there a difference between using "chan" And "san"?
And does
One-san means older sister &
does Onii-chan means older brother? Is there a difference?
And does this terms correct?
👇👇
Oyagi - papa
Okachan- mama
"-chan" is a diminutive form of "-san", often used to address a child, or girls may use this amongst themselves (boys would use "-kun".)
"Oneisan" is "older sister", but can be used to mean "miss" when addressing a young woman. "Oniisan" would be "older brother" or "young man" when addressing a young man. "Onii-chan" would probably only be used by a young child. "Oyaji" means "one's father", but you wouldn't use this normally. A child would probably say "(o)tou-san" or "tou-chan", but normally you use "otousan" or "chi-chi" if you are refering to your own father. "Okaa-chan" is what a child might use to say "mom", the proper form is "o-kaa-san", or "haha" if you want to refer to your own mother when talking to others.
@@jaycee330 I call my younger brother "chan", haha! And what would you consider a "child"? (Age group and such) I would never call my parents "chan" though :0
