More Hou

More Hou

2021-04-0605:462

Today we are talking more about the word Hoh, and the phrase Hoh Gah Ih. This is almost always used with past tense. “It’s better if you…”
More Yori

More Yori

2021-04-0505:15

Today we talk about when Yori is used, how it’s used, and when to use it by itself. There are multiple versions of Yori and I go over differentiating between them.
Hou Ga and Yori

Hou Ga and Yori

2021-04-0206:071

Today we’re going over two different grammar points, which are Hoh Gah and Yori. We use these in contrast to each other or in a phrase. I explain how to use both of these and how to distinguish between them.
Auxiliary Word Beki

Auxiliary Word Beki

2021-04-0105:35

Today we’re talking about a very similar word to Hazu, which is Beki. This word is often paired with Dah, such as Beki-Dah with the accent going downward on Dah.
Today I will talk about the word “Hazu.” This is basically the first and most simplistic of the musts or shoulds in Japanese. I give examples and definitions.
It can often be difficult for new and even intermediate Japanese speakers to come up with the appropriate response to certain questions and sentences, so today I am going to provide you with a few unique responses you can use that will help you sound more fluent and native.
Dou

Dou

2021-03-2605:26

This word usually indicates a question and today we will be diving into how to use this word and the difference between this word and another word similar to it.
The Adjective Hoshii

The Adjective Hoshii

2021-03-2506:19

Today we’re talking about another adjective that indicates desire, but alongside that showing of desire, we want to do it over a particular item. I talk about Hoshii Garu and Ga Hoshii.
Garu

Garu

2021-03-2406:26

Today we are going to be going over Garu, which is over somebody else. In Japanese we often talk about area of information, which basically is who can say what. I cannot say that you like blue, but I can say I think you like blue. I give examples.
This is when we take a verb and we attach an adjective part to the end. Like the word Nai. To not eat is Tabei Nai. Today we’re doing something very similar and talking about Tai.
When using Kotoh it’s a nominalizer so everything before Kotoh is modifying Kotoh. Usually with verbs we’re going to see things ending in base 3 or base Tah, which is usually past tense or present tense. Today we’re talking about “Kotoh ni naru.” Naru is a non volitional act.
More About Koto

More About Koto

2021-03-1205:56

Today I go more in depth into Kotoh. We go over the phrase “Kotoh gah, Dekidu.” Using phrases to simplify bigger ideas or sentences.
The phrase “Have you ever…?” is what we will be going over today. I explain how to ask this type of question and give examples.
Mono, Koto’s Twin

Mono, Koto’s Twin

2021-03-1005:41

Monoh is a physical thing, and used like when you say “It’s on the tip of my tongue.” This is used like Kotoh, but has to be used with tangible things rather than intangible things.
Kotoh means thing, or what. In this episode I describe another way to overcome those moments when you can’t think of the right word or words to say. Instead of using filler words, this method has to do with describing the action or thing that you can’t think of.
-Ba Yokatta

-Ba Yokatta

2021-03-0805:31

Today I will discuss this base 4 phrase. This base is a very simple if, having clause A and clause B, the two different parts of our sentences, being one contingent upon the other.
I go over the various bases that we have talked about in previous episodes. I explain what base 4 is, how to use it more effectively along with the word “Bah.”
Ba Yokatta

Ba Yokatta

2021-02-0106:32

In this episode of Manga Sensei, John Sensei teaches us our first official Japanese phrase, Ba Yokatta. Before this, we have covered individual parts of grammar, but never whole phrases.
Base 4, Ba

Base 4, Ba

2021-01-2907:08

In today's episode, John Sensei gives us a review of the 4th base, Ba. We have covered bases 1-5 before and even gone into depth on specific bases.
Verbs, hajimeru

Verbs, hajimeru

2021-01-2606:36

This verb means to start. This is a unique verb because of how it is used with other verbs. I explain how and when it’s used.
