  • [Course 3 Lesson 3]
    This is a SUPER important concept. TE form is initially taught as a "command" form but later you will learn that it has MANY more purposes.
    This video is part of the courses on:
    fromzero.com based on the Japanese From Zero! (learnfz.com/JF...) book series written by George Trombley and Yukari Takenaka

      SPOILER ALERT You add いる at the end of the te form and you get something like an -ing form in English, a progressive tense. Basically, that means "you are already in the state of being dead" or just "you're already dead" in human speech.

      Okay cool thanks bud! You know what's funny was today out of the blue I went to a local sushi place that I had never been to that's next door to the Asian marketplace that I shop at sometimes for items and ingredients to cook. Most places here there's usually non-japanese people running the restaurant but at this place the sushi chef and the employees were all Japanese surprisingly. I think they may be a family owned business or related. Anyway, I ordered my meal and as I was waiting I noticed that not only were the workers speaking Japanese to handle the orders but some of the patrons were as well. So I started to garner up some courage and as the hostess was ringing out my order and telling me to have a good day I replied, "Arigatou Gozaimasu." Dude she turned around and her face lit up like, "Woah!" Then she said thanks back in Japanese. Like it totally caught her off guard lol. That made my day! :D

      I wonder in some case Te seems to be past tense.
      かれはここにきている means he came and is here.
      きた + いる ->きている
      きた changes to きて may be a kind of conjugation

    my happiness in life probably wouldnt be as much high if george trombley didnt exist. man, i'm actually really glad picking this route. ima write it down now cuz i feel like it a bit i guess.
    so i decided to study linguistics(which is pretty rare and risky to do so 'cause i'm in turkey so people usually become a doctor or an engineer. it's in the best uni though. and instead of studying diehard like otheres do, i went along with a different path of just enjoying my life i guess lmao. i just played games, watched yt and series and whatever so when to time for the uni enterance exams came i knew english goddamn well so even that i wasnt a language student i got in the best uni. now i'm in the library, studying japanese to unlock more and more of a language that is helping me understand a land so frikin weird and amazing that i can't even comprehend sometimes. literally the best stories, characters, music, (probably) food and lots of things came from this land so it's fun unlocking new abilities. anyways. thanks george. i feel pretty privilaged(this the correct spelling?idk) to be able to understand you fully so that the classes are IMMACULATELY fun to follow and im studying japanese as well which is pretty great too i guess. though writing this now i've come to the conclusion that eventually i'll finish this series so i think i'll have a hole in my heart and soul after that. though maybe not since mr. george spent half his life making videos so there should be new content i guess... most underrated guy in the universe ever i guess! ty

    Hi Sensei George, I have been learning Japanese from your brilliant series. A few years ago I uploaded videos teaching Indonesian and Balinese. They were a bit rushed as there was virtually no material available and I wanted something out there in a hurry. Your material has inspired me to create a more considered course. What video camera/audio do you use and would you be offended if, as a way of dipping my lid to you, I called it 'Indonesian/Balinese from scratch'? Alternatively you could learn Indonesian yourself and create a series!

    why is Japanese from Zero so popular in Germany? because so many people are interested in learning foreign languages here and Japanese is (besides French, Spanish and English of course) the most recommended languages to learn... why is that so? because Japanese is actually pretty easy to pronounce for Germans... I know so many people who started to learn Japanese and some mastered it... my physics teacher for example... in university I met about 10 people who started learning... and some of my friends do so, too... in fact I learned just recently, that other countries don't do that to an extend as we do... and that makes me a bit sad because I love languages...
    I had Latin, English and French in school... and there were also courses (we call it AG - Arbeitsgemeinschaft) for Russian and Japanese... I personally wouldn't know a word of Japanese if it wasn't for my school and physics teacher... I just can speak for myself and my experience but I'd love to know how other countries learn languages in school...

    Secondly, any tip for telling the difference between words that use tsu and tsu as a lengthner for wovel sounds? Sometimes I don't know if I say tsu or the wovel before to lengthen it.
    I'm about to wrap up lesson 1 in this course of the book and your videos are so ahead of where I am so I'm trying to keep up with the book to the video lesson but you have the videos lessons ahead. of where anyone is with the book.

    "A regular" and "irregular" sounds pretty same then you speak faster. And iften that moment is confusing. I remember a video where we should only gess is it regular or irregular verb only from context. Do you think calling irregular verbs irregular is a good idea for video? May be it will be better call them "notregular" or "unregular"? And yours concept of verbs learning is great, thank you very much!

    Is there any case where we use verb-te iru without conjugating it to verb-te imasu? From what I’m understanding so far it seems that it either drop to informal form (-ta/-da/-datta) or raises to -te imasu form, so when is -te iru used?

    I don't understand why to come (くる) becomes きて. If う,つ, and る become って, why does くる become き and have て instead of って? Shouldn't it be くって? Does the う,つ, and るnot apply to って if it's an irregular verb? In that case, would する become して?

    • @jackbrown5645
      @jackbrown5645 6 лет назад +1

      する, くる and 行く are exceptions, the normal rules don't count for them. Their て-forms are して、きて and いって respectively.

    Why is it 見て instead of 見って? Please explain, why there are some verbs that end with る but don't conjugated to って.

    • @japanesefromzero
      @japanesefromzero  7 лет назад +4

      Because all いる/える verbs just go to て the "regular" verbs go to って.

    Hello george sensei, thank you as always for these amazing lessons.
    i have a question, will the plain command form be ever taught in the japanese from zero series? in anime and japanese games i noticed that they’re used a lot, so hopefully you’ll teach them in future lessons.
    thanks again! :)

      For a regular verb, change the final hiragana of the dictionary form to the "e" form. For example, shinu (to die) changes "nu" to "ne" to become shine. If it's a ru verb, change the ru to ro. So taberu becomes tabero. Finally, kuru becomes koi and suru becomes shiro. Hope that helps!

    On the topic of shinde: I keep seeing translations of "omae wa mou shindeiru" as "you are already dead." Is this form of "shinde" a command, and if so, wouldn't this actually translate to "die, already."

    • @Hunter-R.
      @Hunter-R. 3 года назад +2

      shindeiru comes from shinde, but the “iru” at the end makes it “to be in a state of death” instead of a command.
      So “you are already dead” is a pretty good translation.
