had a fun few minutes this morning with my family when I discovered this video. Thanks George-san for answering my 11 year old question and posting an answer which makes sense to me now. Best. From Paris.
Love this short format, George. Great decision to revisit this. ですis a funny old thing. My teacher told once told me that です is not a verb and I still dont know what it actually is. So is だ a verb and です is not? I find it baffling, as you can easily substitute だwith a です、can't you.
Excellent.❤ What level of your books would you recommend to someone who has completed Tobira Beginning 1? You can't have too many books! Btw, is tsundoku a real word? Can I get some example sentences, pretty please? 😊 Thank you.
This popped up when I suddenly remembered I have a subscriptions tab and glad to see you still making videos. Anyway, somewhat similar thing I wonder about is how often is -ないです used versus -ません?
@_Annoyed Most recently I mentioned that name a day or so ago... or a week maybe ago on a livestream there. Another good one is "Japanese After Zero!" but I've always liked "Japanese Beyond Zero!". HOWEVER!!!!!! To be fair I can't find it anywhere. The indexing sites don't look at private videos, so I'm guessing I said it in a video no longer private. If any else remembers where I've said it, I would be curious.
I think it's really difficult to teach noobies why something is grammatically correct or not, hence why George didn't just simply say they are adjectives attached to a verb. Those of us that have studied for years and know the technicalities get why you can add desu in some cases or not in others, but to someone that is new to learning that's like expecting a toddler to know what an Adjective even is.
It’s based on the manifestations principle. If you believe you will be fluent in five, you will be. If it does happen, it means you didn’t believe it. No refunds on the $1400 course I sell teaching proper manifestations. 😂
summary: nai and tai are adjectives you attach to a verb stem... add DESU... masu is a verb you attach to a verb stem... do not add DESU. Or do like Anya: Ohayoumasu
Hmmmm. That doesn’t seem like a summary of what I said. I normally don’t mention the whole adjective thing as I feel it can be confusing. All Japanese verbs can be adjectives in informal form, but they don’t all act the same way.
@@japanesefromzero oh bro that absolutely sucks. what a shame. also your video's frame rate is fucked up and stuttery. The actual content was pretty good! Shame
@@tokumei99 I've struggled with this frame rate thing for a long time. I have no idea what I'm doing. BUT I did order a new PC and I think that will solve the issue. Maybe you can point me to how to fix the frame rate because it's been bad for a long time.
@@japanesefromzero what are you editing with? if it’s live capture your pc probably isn’t fast enough to process it. If it’s davinci resolve etc your project settings are probably somehow fucked up
It’s just $1400 dollars and in 5 minutes you’ll be able to know 5% of Japanese. There’s a lot of hype around my amazing, revolutionary, epoch-making system. 😂
@@japanesefromzero Hey George, my name's JD. This is a miscommunication on my part, wasn't trying to diss your video or anything malicious. I sent a message through your website, if you're free I'm happy to communicate through there or other means 🙂

I love these short form videos. Thanks George.
I love the intro 👌🏾
ヨシ！☀️
These videos are gonna rock. Thanks George. Love the intro! ❤
That intro song is amazing.
Omg the intro 😂 creative
All my luv from algeria 🇩🇿
Woah RUclips still gives you notifications for comments and replies for videos from 11 years ago?
Well actually I check comments in RUclips Studio.

I thought you dyed your hair red because of the lighting....
Yeah! I actually loved how that came out. I added the light to the studio a few days ago.
Thank you for the clarification
The intro is sooo good🙏🎉🥳
thank you!
I love the song😂

As a whole, ないです is used way more than ません in everyday conversation
Enough learning from zero, I’m going to become fluent in five minutes!!!!
haha, who did the intro music?
AWESOME INTRO
ai :(
@@roxysapostle2451 oh :( man i (everyone) really need to get more skeptical about ai stuff. was tricked by a drawing and a music playlist recently
@@roxysapostle2451I wrote the lyrics and edited the intro though. So give me a bit of credit. 😊
HI! i have a cool name idea for a new japanese book-series: japanese beyond zero! (if you were to make a new series)
LOL. If you watch any of my livestreams you might see me actually refer to that VERY name. Thought it was a great name for years.
@@PolyglotGeorge lol, i haven't watched all of your streams (only some), so i dont know which channel you are refering to.

To Zero And Beyond!

since japanese tends to more reserved/avoid giving super strong opinions, do you think it's still ok to say いきたくなかったです and in what kind of situations
Well, because they become adjectives and stop being verbs
Yes, exactly, that is the reason :)
👍
BOOST THIS COMMENT TO LET GEORGE KNOW THE TRUTH!
Which of your books would work well for someone whos finished genki 1 and 2 and going from n4 to n3?
None really since our books are mostly up to N4 and touching a bit on N3.
@@japanesefromzero Good to know, thanks for the reply!
Hey from Ukraine! George, you rock! 🤟
Then there's 行きませんでした. orz
True!!! But that’s kind a set form. But it makes you think doesn’t it. Why でした but not です?
Pure snake oil. If I'm fluent in 5 minutes, imagine me in an hour.

@@japanesefromzero A great answer indeed. That is why you are my favorite teacher! Keep up the good work.
Who the heck sings that intro, pretty sure I know that voice
It’s AI. I wanted something unique.

omg that intro/outro song is so awful but so amazing 😂
Fluent in five? So I'll learn 100% of Japanese in just 5 minutes? :O Where can I send you my money?
It’s just $1400 dollars and in 5 minutes you’ll be able to know 5% of Japanese. There’s a lot of hype around my amazing, revolutionary, epoch-making system. 😂
Answer in five seconds: because it's technically an い adjective (not a verb)

@@japanesefromzero man, I posted the same comment first 😭
@japanesefromzero I messaged you privately via your learn from zero website!

George, please do yourself and all of us a favour and deactivate the automatic dubbing. Google is playing with halfbaked stuff, that's sooo annoying.
You mean CC?
I fixed those issues. The timings aren't perfect, but no more gibberish is showing up.
Someone pointed out to me what you meant by "automatic dubbing". I've disabled it! Thank you! It was trash!
