What an absolute TON of examples! Over 70 clips taken from countless video games! This was a beast to make, but hope you all enjoy! Next UP....Vocab series (voted by the Game Gengo community on Discord)
Insanely great as always. Really helps me digest the grammar. I've been off and on Wanikani since 2017 because grammar just wasn't sticking, but your explanations are great.
Wow, I've not watched any of your Genki videos before because I hate the explanations in Genki and don't use it as a textbook, but this was great! It made everything much simpler. ^^ Thank you! I need to check out your other Genki videos now. Also, congrats on 30k!
Thank you so much! My college bases their lessons off of Genki and I was extremely confused. Even after going through Genki to see if it helped didn't really do much, but this video has made it make so much more sense!
Thanks. Unfortunately, it matters what category the verbs are in for 〜ている. Most of them are somehow intuitive but motion verbs are not. They always belong in the completion category. 来る and 行く don’t form a continious action, they always mean a completed action. 行っている = he went to a place and is still there.
Dude thank you for making this more literal and simplified. With all due respect to other teachers as they are wonderful, they assume grammatical definition off jump, and go way too fast. This is way easier to understand
Thanks a bunch for this lesson. I read One Piece manga online in parallel text to improve my reading speed and Luffy uses ている all the time. I intuitively knew how to use this piece of language after reading so many One Piece chapters, but this lesson was truly enlightening.
so i thought that i didn't understand correctly this ている form the first time i learned it but after seeing this video i realize that i did understand the other lessons about it and that this is just confusing A.F. I litterally have the impression that you have to know what are all the possibilities or impossibilities for all the verbs to be able to understand correctly what is being said.
could someone help me to understand the difference between "to know" in the present form and "to know" in the teiru form. what's the difference between saying "I know" and "I'm in the state of knowing". I'm a little bit confused :(
No problem! So you will mostly be using and seeing 知っている not 知る. The reason why is because 知る is only used for the moment you get the information, like perhaps talking about the future いつか真実を知ることになる 'one day you will come to know the truth' but its really mostly only seen in this context. Majority of the time if you wabt to say 'i know' or 'do you know' you would use 知っている or 知っていますか？ this is because knowing something is normally a state
Because the ている form is a bit different from the English conception of 'ing'. 1 to 1 translations often lead to this kind of confusion, thats why its more important to look at function > translation. ている comes from VERB + て (connect two actions) + いる (exist) Which means literally, 'to exist in the state of doing VERB' When you are dead, you exist in the state of 'die' right? That's why its 死んでいる The confusion comes where in English 'ing' CAN be used to express in the state (eating - in the state of eat) but it can also be used like (dying - in the process of die), which leads to this confusion! Hope this helps a bit!
2:03 Make sure to be careful with your pronunciation. Your 死んでいる sounds like the English word "shin" (ʃɪn is you're familiar with IPA), rather than the Japanese い sound. Same with with when you say 行く at 5:33. Your 行っている before it was good, but for some reason your pronunciation for 行く sounds like you're saying the English word "ick"。

Thanks , i want to ask how to construct sentences like native Japanese? How to put everything together?
you're single handedly keeping my Japanese studies alive. Thank you so much.
super underrated the amount of real examples is unmatched
Its totally coincidence btw that this video just HAPPENS to be 27mins long 😂

Hi Mat! It's a great video and I really love that you put Suikoden 2 castle music at 6:30! I'm wondering how －ています & －ていました compares to －ます & －ました.
Great series!
i find so many games from these videos, going to try star ocean 2 !

Tekken Tag 2 background music 👌🤌
thank you for your work 🙏

thx for sound from Terra)))
Tabe te iru , whats the polite formal way to say , 'eating'
食べています (tabete imasu) is the polite way to say it :) (not formal though)
Why does 死んでいる mean dead and not dying?
Because the ている form is a bit different from the English conception of 'ing'. 1 to 1 translations often lead to this kind of confusion, thats why its more important to look at function > translation.
ている comes from VERB + て (connect two actions) + いる (exist)
Which means literally, 'to exist in the state of doing VERB'
When you are dead, you exist in the state of 'die' right? That's why its 死んでいる
The confusion comes where in English 'ing' CAN be used to express in the state (eating - in the state of eat) but it can also be used like (dying - in the process of die), which leads to this confusion! Hope this helps a bit!
Want to be N3 by late 2024

I didn't even realize I've been making this mistake (not commenting on Matt's ofc).
