13. 0:59channel I'm Nick from real Japanese if
14. 1:02you are new here I am Miku and I am a
15. 1:06teacher who wants to teach real Japanese
16. 1:08in fun way so you're just gonna gush
17. 1:10mass anyway I know that rachel is not
18. 1:13along here I get this all the time from
19. 1:16my students like why Japanese people why
20. 1:19mix sensei why do you do that to me I
21. 1:21confused with guy and why all the time
22. 1:24why and I go like I'm sorry I'm terribly
23. 1:28sorry but that's why I'm here with you
24. 1:33mastering particle doesn't seem so
25. 1:35important but here's the thing
26. 1:37Japanese people can pick up on those
27. 1:39mistakes pretty well and your Japanese
28. 1:42might sound a little bit weird to them
29. 1:44if you make mistakes with particles so
30. 1:47this lesson is quite important in this
31. 1:50video are we teaching the difference
32. 1:52between MA and grab particle and their
33. 1:54function you be useful to you whether
34. 1:57you just started learning Japanese or
35. 1:59your intermediate level but you want to
36. 2:01take your Japanese to another level and
37. 2:03I think this video will be a little bit
38. 2:06longer than normal so get yourself
39. 2:08coffee or tea and sit with me like you
40. 2:11hanging out with your Japanese friends
41. 2:13and that's what particles okay are you
42. 2:18ready let's start so first of all what
43. 2:21is what particle what particle is a
44. 2:23topic marker so what I mean by this is
45. 2:26that what I say before what particle is
46. 2:29what I'm gonna talk about for example if
47. 2:32I say what does she were kyo see this
48. 2:34watashi wa curious which means i am a
49. 2:39teacher
50. 2:39the topic is what a she topic is what a
51. 2:43she so I am letting the other person
52. 2:45know that I'm gonna talk about myself if
53. 2:49I want to say this is my phone I would
54. 2:52say cool a wha what does she know ki
55. 2:54this cool eh wha what does she know k
56. 2:57Titus so I am saying I'm gonna talk
57. 3:00about this this Corey wha is my phone
58. 3:04what does she know k ty it is a lot of
59. 3:06people thinks that this water particle
60. 3:09is the verb to be in English like is our
61. 3:14but in Japanese sentence the breath
62. 3:17always comes at the end of the sentence
63. 3:19so this this is actually the verb to be
64. 3:23if you wanna be casual you can just omit
65. 3:26this death at the end and say Korea
66. 3:30what does not create I'd call a WA
67. 3:32watashi no K type if I say what does she
68. 3:36walk you is many people think that
69. 3:38in this sentence the main focus is
70. 3:41watashi but it's not
71. 3:43watashi is just a topic and I'm
72. 3:46the other person know that I'm gonna
73. 3:48talk about myself but the main focus in
74. 3:50this sentence is the fact that I am a
75. 3:53teacher if I say watashi wa Nicholas the
76. 3:57main focus is that I am Miku Miku is the
77. 4:01main focus
78. 4:01not what does she but if I say what does
79. 4:05she got my keys
80. 4:08it's different when I say what has she
81. 4:11got Nicholas I am saying I am the one
82. 4:14who is Mikkel let's say someone says to
83. 4:18my friends are you Miku are you Miku and
84. 4:21I wanna say I'm next to her I wanna say
85. 4:24no no no no ha
86. 4:26I am the one who is Miku in that case I
87. 4:29will say what a sugah
88. 4:31Nicholas what estiga Nicholas so if I
89. 4:36use this gap article in this sentence
90. 4:39what does she got Nicholas I am focusing
91. 4:42on the fact that I am Mick know her so
92. 4:46the focus changes into watashi no miko
93. 4:50of course it goes same with the sentence
94. 4:54with adjectives let's say this movie is
95. 4:57interesting you'd say Cano Vega Wow
96. 4:59almost Roy Kanagawa omoshiroi at the
97. 5:03main focus is the fact that this movie
98. 5:06is interesting right okay another
99. 5:09example if I say estaba test to this
100. 5:13estaba test to this tomorrow we'll have
101. 5:16exam the main focus in this sentence is
102. 5:20that factor we're gonna have a test you
103. 5:23can have an exam tomorrow but if someone
104. 5:26says kya test - this kya test of this
105. 5:30today I will have exam and I wanna say
106. 5:33no no no no not today tomorrow is the
107. 5:37day we are gonna be having exam tomorrow
108. 5:39I would say a stager test to this a
109. 5:45stager tasteless instead of saying hasta
110. 5:48wat test honest so if I use God particle
111. 5:52like this the focus goes to the thing
112. 5:55that I say before God so tomorrow
113. 5:59Stiga tomorrow is the main focus in the
114. 6:01sentence when you say this is an apple
115. 6:04in English the main focus is on Apple
116. 6:08right you're not saying this is an apple
117. 6:12right you're just saying this is an
118. 6:14apple so focus is on Apple in that case
119. 6:17in Japanese you say Culebra
120. 6:20being goddess Kali Wow bingo this but
121. 6:24for example someone is holding let's say
122. 6:27a pear and then he says cool a WA bingo
123. 6:31this cool Ava lingo this and you wanna
124. 6:34say no no no no this is an apple not
125. 6:39that this is an apple you wanna focus on
126. 6:43the fact that this is an apple in that
127. 6:46case you say cougar bingo this colega
128. 6:51lingo this not that okay another example
129. 6:54so let's say your older sister ate your
130. 6:58mom's cake and your mom is so angry and
131. 7:02she's like who did it who did it you
132. 7:04know and you wanna say my older sister
133. 7:08is the one who ate the cake not me in
134. 7:11that case you'd say Unni janga tabata
135. 7:16onii-chan god
136. 7:18Tabata to focus on that onii-chan is the
137. 7:22one who ate it okay so to summarize when
138. 7:25you use water particle what particle is
139. 7:28the topic markers so what you say before
140. 7:30is the topic and you are letting the
141. 7:33other person know what you're gonna talk
142. 7:35about and the main focus is the thing
143. 7:38that you say after water particle and
144. 7:40when you use god particle well you say
145. 7:42before God is the main focus so you
146. 7:45wanna say this is something this is
147. 7:49someone
148. 7:50okay did you understand okay let's go to
149. 7:53next example Miko says they were angle
150. 7:57why chose this name
151. 7:59[Music]
152. 8:01arigato what happened there she wanted
153. 8:09to compliment me but she ended up
154. 8:10offended me
155. 8:12why so usually when we say someone is
156. 8:15good at something we use god particle
157. 8:18so someone wah something got Jose for
158. 8:22example if I want to say John is good at
159. 8:25soccer
160. 8:26I would say don't walk saga Jose John
161. 8:31Sakata Jose and formally John Sakata
162. 8:36Jose do this John sock toga Jose this if
163. 8:41you're talking about yourself and you're
164. 8:43saying I am good at something you
165. 8:45wouldn't use this word Joseph because it
166. 8:48sounds a bit arrogant so you have to say
167. 8:51I am ok at something to be humble like
168. 8:55Japanese people so in that case you can
169. 8:57use this word so quick quick it's not
170. 9:01addictive
171. 9:01and you can use like this I am okay at
172. 9:04guitar I am good at guitar you'd say
173. 9:08watashi wa guitar got to quit but a
174. 9:12Shiva guitar got to quit
175. 9:14and if you wanna say I am horrible at
176. 9:16something you can use this phrase kita
177. 9:19kita it's also not active and you can
178. 9:23use it like this for example I am
179. 9:24horrible at sports you can say what a
180. 9:28schwa sports ooga hey today's atashi wa
181. 9:31sports got hit others for money and if
182. 9:34you wanna be informal you can say what a
183. 9:37schwa sports ooh got hit up
184. 9:38what does she watch sports you got hit
185. 9:40up anyway if you're gonna say John is
186. 9:43good at soccer you would say John wat
187. 9:46saket Jose
188. 9:49Sokka got juice but if you say John wah
189. 9:53wah Joseph it means completely different
190. 9:58this water particles function is
191. 10:01completely different and it shows
192. 10:03contrast if I say jonghwa Sakawa Joseph
193. 10:07John moussaka what Jose it sounds like
194. 10:11John is good at soccer
195. 10:13but no
196. 10:15at anything else or no other things
197. 10:18so when Rachel said Mickey and say what
198. 10:21he go what just isn't it
199. 10:23mix in say what and you go up Joe's
200. 10:26Desna it sounded like she was saying
201. 10:28Miku sensei you are a good at English
202. 10:32but not at anything else and it sounds
203. 10:35so offensive so when you are meant to
204. 10:38use God but you use what this water
205. 10:41particle acts completely differently and
206. 10:44it shows contrast so if you want to say
207. 10:47I like fish you'd say watashi wa
208. 10:50Sacandaga ski watashi wa Sacandaga ski
209. 10:54and this watashi wa you can omit it
210. 10:57because we assume that people know we
211. 10:59are talking about ourselves so you don't
212. 11:01have to repeat what - wha-what a share
213. 11:03watashi wa all the time you can just say
214. 11:05ii anga
215. 11:07Suki so this suki na ejective Suki
216. 11:10always goes with God particle right but
217. 11:14if you say Sakana wa suki sakana wa suki
218. 11:19instead of second ah gasps Sookie it
219. 11:23sounds like you saying I like fish but I
220. 11:27don't like meat oh I don't like
221. 11:28something else so if you wanna say I
222. 11:31like soccer but I don't like basketball
223. 11:34you can say Sokka wa suki de kado
224. 11:38Basquiat skis and i'm sokka wa suki de
225. 11:43kado Basquiat skis and I'm or for
226. 11:47example I like beer but I don't like
227. 11:50wine you can say B do wa suki de kado
228. 11:54wine Watsky tonight B do wa suki de kado
229. 11:58Wanhua skis a9 so how do you say I like
230. 12:03dog simple sentence I like dogs
231. 12:06how do you say in God ski in ski right
232. 12:12but if you say you know what ski in WA
233. 12:17ski it sounds like again you say I like
234. 12:20dog but I don't like cat you it sounds
235. 12:25like you're saying in one ski that kiddo
236. 12:28Nichola ski tonight in aguas Kido Kido
237. 12:32nikolsky tonight okay so how do you say
238. 12:35I like ramen but I don't like sushi how
239. 12:39do you say la mosquée de kado sushi
240. 12:46watsky tonight la même Watsky de kado
241. 12:50sushi wa suki tonight okay so I'll show
242. 12:53you another example SATA she said she
243. 12:56walk away walk away name okay
244. 13:09now you might know why Satoshi was
245. 13:11offended right what was wrong with the
246. 13:13sentence so when we talk about someone's
247. 13:16appearance we use this grammar someone
248. 13:20wha
249. 13:20something got adjectives someone
250. 13:24something got adjectives for example if
251. 13:27an assay Tom is tall I would say Tom wha
252. 13:31si got a kite Tommy wha say got a kite
253. 13:35or tom has got blue eyes I would say
254. 13:39Tommy wha mega Oh Tommy wha mega away or
255. 13:46for example Katherine's got long hair
256. 13:48how do you say kattiline wha Kamiya nao
257. 13:54guy casa de la comida now guy oh how do
258. 13:59you say Katherine's got nice smile
259. 14:05Kesselring wha a gaga sticky canceling
260. 14:09wha
261. 14:10ego Olga sticky so this grandma
262. 14:13construct can be used to express
263. 14:15someone's appearance but also you can
264. 14:18use for sentence like Osaka has got good
265. 14:21food or food is good in Osaka you can
266. 14:25say osakawa Eureka oh I see
267. 14:30osaka wa uragaeshi all for example cover
268. 14:35is famous for Kobe beef you can say Kobe
269. 14:40what Kobe beef who got you may go baby
270. 14:44go baby who got you may or Japan has an
271. 14:48interesting culture you can say Nihon
272. 14:52wah boom Gaga almost annoyed me hyung
273. 14:55wha boom kaga omoshiroi or japan has got
274. 15:00lots of nature you can say new home what
275. 15:03she's ain't got boy new home
276. 15:06she's ain't got boy so they're coming
277. 15:09back to the skit with Rachel and Satoshi
278. 15:12Rachel said Satoshi Wa Wa Wa
279. 15:16Kakui named Satoshi ba ka WA Kaku in it
280. 15:21so again this war particle act-- really
281. 15:24differently
282. 15:25it shows contrast so it sounds like
283. 15:29Satoshi
284. 15:30your voice is cool but not anything else
285. 15:35so here Rachel needed to say Satoshi
286. 15:38you've got cool voice Satoshi walk away
287. 15:41God Kakui named Satoshi waygu Cucuy name
288. 15:46and in Satoshi will be really happy very
289. 15:50good too
290. 15:52if you tell me Mikko you've got cute
291. 15:55moles oh go to Danny it's here
292. 15:58Mika you've got a cheat mom if you say
293. 16:02mokuba
294. 16:03hakuro wha Kaaba in Makka pakka oh wow
295. 16:08come on um you were saying Miku you your
296. 16:13mole is cute just you're more that would
297. 16:18make me so sad you tell me me Kohaku Oh
298. 16:21God Hawaii net Makua Hokuto got kawaii
299. 16:26net you got cute mom that's a compliment
300. 16:29that's a completely because I'm proud of
301. 16:31my mole okay so to summarize the
302. 16:35difference between what a particle and
303. 16:37god particle is that what particle can
304. 16:40be used as a topic marker so what I mean
305. 16:43by this is that what I say before what
306. 16:46is the thing that I'm gonna talk about
307. 16:48and god particle can be used to
308. 16:50emphasize the world before God and also
309. 16:53it can be used to describe someone's
310. 16:56appearance and it can be used with
311. 16:58adjectives like Suki here I Josue Fatah
312. 17:05Tokui etc but when you men to use god
313. 17:09particle but you use what particle what
314. 17:12particle act-- really differently it
315. 17:14shows contrast ok did you understand
316. 17:17let's go test it ok challenge time so
317. 17:21this is how it works
318. 17:22I also sentence in English and give you
