  1. 0:00hi guys welcome to another series this
  2. 0:02is going to be a tutorial about basic
  3. 0:05Japanese words and grammar based from
  4. 0:08the monotony hunger textbook this is for
  5. 0:11the absolute beginners or for those who
  6. 0:13want to review their Japanese this is
  7. 0:16also the textbook I use when I first
  8. 0:18start learning
  9. 0:19nihongo a long time ago although I am
  10. 0:22not yet 100% fluent I can speak and
  11. 0:25communicate using basic Japanese I only
  12. 0:28attended Japanese language school for
  13. 0:30about three months so pretty much I've
  14. 0:32learned Japanese or nihongo through
  15. 0:36self-study and getting used to talking
  16. 0:39and listening to Japanese at work like I
  17. 0:44said if you are an absolute beginner who
  18. 0:46is interested in learning nihongo I hope
  19. 0:49you find this tutorial helpful also I'm
  20. 0:51from the Philippines so you might hear
  21. 0:54me say Tagalog or Filipino words once in
  22. 0:57a while so don't be surprised solid ever
  23. 1:00had him in my shop that's Japanese for
  24. 1:03let's begin
  25. 1:04this is Minna no nihongo lesson 1
  26. 1:07vocabulary what she what does she other
  27. 1:19words to say what a she our array or
  28. 1:21boku which men generally use another
  29. 1:25word is a tushy used by females to sound
  30. 1:28more feminine or cute and the very
  31. 1:32formal way of saying what she is
  32. 1:34watashi which you will hear usually in a
  33. 1:37very formal setting or situation what -
  34. 1:43it touchy what are touchy ah na anata i
  35. 1:51noticed that when you're not very close
  36. 1:55to someone you're talking to you don't
  37. 1:57address them directly as anata or you
  38. 1:59but instead you call them or address
  39. 2:02them by their name so for example you
  40. 2:05wanna ask are you okay directly to the
  41. 2:09person you're talking to you say for
  42. 2:11example that their name
  43. 2:12um suzuki-san so you say is that uh are
  44. 2:16you Anna tawa daijoubu desu ka' you say
  45. 2:19Suzuki Samurai Java deskah are you ok
  46. 2:22mr. Suzuki so just be very careful with
  47. 2:25using anata again if you're not very
  48. 2:28close to someone it's better to use or
  49. 2:31adjust them by their first name or last
  50. 2:33name followed by Sun instead of saying
  51. 2:36anata also this word can also be used as
  52. 2:39a term of endearment sometimes wives
  53. 2:42would refer or call their husband
  54. 2:44anata uh no hito a no hito or the more
  55. 2:52polite way of saying this is f no kata
  56. 2:56anakata I know means that and he top
  57. 3:00means person me nah son Mina Sun Sun Sun
  58. 3:11so this is the equivalent of mr. miss or
  59. 3:14mrs. in English and it's just a way of
  60. 3:18showing respect to the person you're
  61. 3:20talking to
  62. 3:22chan Chan in general it is used for
  63. 3:27babies for example Akutan or research
  64. 3:32and or young children or even
  65. 3:34grandparents like oppa Chan or GTM but
  66. 3:39this can also be used among friends or
  67. 3:41lovers who've known each other for a
  68. 3:43long time this this means that the
  69. 3:46speaker finds the other person cute or
  70. 3:48attractive or lovable kun kun in general
  71. 3:57it is used for young boys or young adult
  72. 3:59male or even among male friends Jin Jin
  73. 4:06for example a Filipino is Philippine
  74. 4:10Jean an American is America Jean and a
  75. 4:14Japanese person is me hyung Jin and so
  76. 4:18on sensei sensei notice that we have a
  77. 4:25long vowel
  78. 4:26at the end say okay
  79. 4:29sensei Yoshi cure again another
  80. 4:36long vowel cure your sheep so the
  81. 4:40difference between sensei
  82. 4:42and Kyo she is that sensei is only
  83. 4:45referring to another teacher so if you
  84. 4:49are going to introduce yourself and you
  85. 4:51wanna say that you you are a teacher you
  86. 4:55say watashi wa Yoshi this Gakusei tuxie
  87. 5:05notice how we how we don't pronounce the
  88. 5:08you in the cook syllable it becomes duck
  89. 5:12say Chi sha in Tai Shan Tai Chi Minh's
  90. 5:20company and in means member sha in shine
  91. 5:31ginkgo in ginkgo in notice that the N
  92. 5:37syllable or not becomes ng sound because
  93. 5:42it is followed by a K or Co so it
  94. 5:46becomes gingko gingko in gingko means
  95. 5:51bank and in again means member yah yah
  96. 6:01cane fuchsia tank Usha and Jimmy
  97. 6:09engineer died could die duck be all in
  98. 6:19be Owen danke
  99. 6:24thank you
  100. 6:26da-rae daddy or the more polite way is
  101. 6:31donut donut ah sigh sigh for example
  102. 6:41five years old is go sigh and thirty
  103. 6:45years old is son Josiah none sigh none
  104. 6:52sigh or the more polite way is I could I
  105. 6:57could sit hi hi yeah II so make sure
  106. 7:10that you extend the ISA Level II yeah
  107. 7:17she today this guy today this guy or
  108. 7:23sits today this nut so the syllable can
  109. 7:26also be pronounced as not so whether you
  110. 7:30pronounce it as a gap or ax is just a
  111. 7:31personal preference today this guy stood
  112. 7:35a the singer oh na ma Iowa or Nam Iowa
  113. 7:44so the translation is may I have your
  114. 7:46name
  115. 7:47but this literally means your name is
  116. 7:50with a rising intonation this is a
  117. 7:53casual or informal way of asking
  118. 7:55someone's name now ma a is a Japanese
  119. 7:58boy name and the prefix o makes it more
  120. 8:02polite but if you are in a formal
  121. 8:05setting it is best to say anima wa nan
  122. 8:08desu ka' which means what's your name
  123. 8:14Hajime mashite a Hajime mistake so this
  124. 8:20is the first phrase or an expression
  125. 8:22that you say when you're introducing
  126. 8:25yourself for the first time to someone
  127. 8:27it means how do you do but it it's the
  128. 8:30literal translation is for the first
  129. 8:32time so usually it goes like how do you
  130. 8:35manage their watashi wa daddy that it is
  131. 8:39so notice that the I in the sheet
  132. 8:42syllables become silent
  133. 8:44has he me mash them those Oh yoroshiku
  134. 8:51onegaishimasu the natural way of saying
  135. 8:56this is those are your Ascona kazuma's
  136. 9:00so this is a very formal expression
  137. 9:02usually used at the end of a
  138. 9:04self-introduction a less formal way of
  139. 9:07saying this is those Orozco
  140. 9:10orgeous yashka this phrase actually has
  141. 9:14other meanings depending on the
  142. 9:16situation which you will learn later on
  143. 9:18but for the meantime this means pleased
  144. 9:21to meet you or please be nice to me
  145. 9:25kochira wa daddy that I sang this so
  146. 9:29that idea is who so I just replaced the
  147. 9:33the back part with daddy daddy
  148. 9:36so meaning you put in a name of someone
  149. 9:39there so this phrase is used when you
  150. 9:43are introducing someone someone else
  151. 9:45for example Kochi rava Brad do Peter son
  152. 9:49this this is Brad Pitt dhoka dhoka rocky
  153. 9:57mashed up doko is where so dhoka dhoka
  154. 10:00karate master I came from or I'm from so
  155. 10:04usually when you do self introduction
  156. 10:06and you're a foreigner you say you
  157. 10:09usually say this phrase for example I'm
  158. 10:11from the Philippines Philippine karate
  159. 10:14master or I'm from Japan
  160. 10:16Nihon karate master or I'm from America
