    *You can only use こと when:*
    -When there are two nouns in a sentence (before です、だ、じゃない(です)
    -it’s already in the grammar construction (e.g ことができる、ことがある)
    -When you say “It’s important/necessary to~”

    *You can only use の when:*
    -Using verbs of perception (Hear, see, feel, notice, etc)

    According to my own learning experience, I think "こと" is more of the "-ing" thing, which is more static and refers to "a regular type of activity" or "a long lasting practice", whereas "の" is usually used to show intentions or a one-off, momentary and very contextual activity.

  • @ThalonRamacorn

      @@shavonme Not sure if you need an explanation after 3 months, but here we go anyway:
      When you say you can do something in Japanese, you'd say something like: is a thing that I can do. So, eigo o hanasu (speak English) becomes eigo o hanasu koto (speaking English). Thus we say: eigo o hanasu koto ga dekiru (Speaking English is something I can do). This is one of the many set grammar patterns and so you can only use koto in such sentences.

    I didn't know this about することが好き and するのが好き. Interesting. It's sort of like how "like to do" and "like doing" can be used in the same way, but have very subtle differences.
    I've a question that's nothing to do with this video, but I've been curious about for a long time. In English, we acknowledge different accents for different people speaking English. Like, there's French-accented English and Spanish-accented English and Japanese-accented English and so on. In Japan, when people imitate foreigners speaking Japanese, it's always the same general 外人っぽい way of speaking, like "Rachel" in your videos. People never seem to differentiate between a Brazilian or a Filipino or an American. Can you tell where someone is from by their accent, or does it all just sound "foreign" to Japanese people?

      Lets be honest, majority of Americans sound like that when speaking a foreign language. This is coming from me, a person who’s first language was not English. That’s why learning annunciation is useful. Just like America has stereotypes about Japan and many other countries, the Japanese have their stereotypes about foreigners. Keep in mind we are allied with Japan, so it’s pretty normal that they use an American accent to stereotype a foreigner’s Japanese. It’s not like it’s anything major.

      If you translate it exactly, 開店するまで or お店が開くまで、電話(携帯a cel for timing) を買うのを待たなくてはなりません
      I would say, お店が開くまで電話が買えません。I cannot buy a phone till the store is opened.

    Miku, for 2020, I wanna become a patreon of yours! You're my favorite sensei! Also, although I have much more to learn about Japanese than Miku has to learn about English, rather than "stop someone to do something" it should be "stop someone from doing something."

    10:36 If I phrase it differently, like: "私は外国語を勉強するのは趣味です” Is it still incorrect? I would need to replace の with こと in that example?
    Also, very useful video. I've known the use of koto and no for so long, but was taught that they were exactly the same. Since there is practically no Japanese language education in the USA, I have learned a few things wrong, at the mercy of strange lessons online haha.

      @user-ng8ko4ti5g 4 года назад +7

      I'm Japanese. You can't say "私は外国語を勉強するのは趣味です " It's incorrect. ”私の趣味" means "My hobby", so you can't separate "私(の)" and "趣味" .
      However, you can phrase it differently, like: "私にとって外国語を勉強することは趣味です” or "外国語を勉強することは私の趣味です" These are correct. "~にとって" means "for", so the former means "Studying foreign language is hobby for me." The latter means "Studying foreign language is my hobby."

      @@Supernova-it1nj Oh… I found I didn't get the point of your question. You wonder if you can replace "こと" with "の” in the sentence, right?
      As Miku said, in 9:04, you can't say "趣味は外国語を勉強する(ギターを弾く)のです” That's incorrect. Miku says it's because there are two nouns in the sentence. But I think it's because "studying foreign language" isn't a subject in the sentence. If the verb changed into a noun is used as a subject in the sentence, you can replace "こと” with "の”. So "私にとって外国語を勉強するのは趣味です” or "外国語を勉強するのは私の趣味です" , these are correct.
      Sorry for my poor English. Hoping this advice will help you.

    I would say... Tokyo ga ikemas or Tokyo ni ikemas
    I learned that we use ga when we want attention or when you want to correct the idea

    • @diperf
      @diperf 3 года назад

      This maybe a minefield of a comment but "Japanese is a language of nouns". In Japanese they are both considered nouns so that they can accommodate grammar "as we understand it". The real issue with teaching Japanese, "a la Miku", is it is based on English grammatical concepts. It's a little unfair to judge or comment accordingly. Over the years I've simply ignored what is/isn't correct and default to the actual conclusion which is, "this doesn't really have a direct translation but..." stance.
