@@ThatWildcard Foreign influences in the Japanese language: Chinese, Korean and linguistic loanwords from Europe (English example) Little is known about the prehistory of the language, or when it first appeared in Japan: Chinese documents from the 3rd century recorded some Japanese words, but substantial texts did not appear until the 8th century. During the Heian period (794-1185), Chinese had considerable influence on the vocabulary and phonology of ancient Japanese. Late Middle Japanese (1185-1600) saw changes in features that brought it closer to the modern language, as well as the first appearance of European loanwords; the standard dialect moved from the Kansai region to the Edo region (modern Tokyo) in the Early Middle Japanese period (early 17th century-mid 19th century). Later, as Japan's self-imposed isolation ended, the flow of loanwords from European languages increased significantly: English loanwords, in particular, became frequent, and Japanese words with English roots proliferated. From a phylogenetic point of view, Japanese is usually considered an isolated language (due to the impossibility of reconstructing its origin with certainty); some of the theories proposed hypothesize that Japanese may have common origins with the Ainu language (spoken by the indigenous Ainu population, still present on the island of Hokkaidō), with the Austronesian languages or with the Altaic languages. The last two hypotheses are currently the most accredited: many linguists agree that Japanese would be made up of an Austronesian substratum over which a contribution of Altaic origin was superimposed; the syntactic and morphological similarities with Korean are evident, as they are agglutinative languages (which would form the macro-Tungusian group with Japanese), from which it differs on a lexical level.

@@ThatWildcard Wasei-eigo (和製英語 literally "English made in Japan") is a term used to indicate particular Japanese linguistic constructions, born from the fusion of English with Japanese and which are not used in English-speaking countries, but exclusively in Japan. Examples of wasei-eigo are light novel and eyecatch. Another term, of more general use, always used to indicate foreign words created in Japan and used exclusively by the Japanese, is wasei-gairaigo (和製外来語 literally "linguistic loan made by sums"), which is usually used for those words created based on other European languages. It should be noted that many Japanese have serious difficulties in distinguishing these vernacular terms from those of the native languages. Some wasei-eigo, having become commonly used, have been exported from Japan, to the point of creating new pseudo-anglicisms in other countries.
Meanwhile im trying to learn Japanese through duolingo and other things, it doesn't work and i dont remember it until a convo on youtube without subtitle comes out
I rather think he is imitating the "typical" customer of Matsuya with his behaviour and manner of speech 😂 it's kind of a cliché that old guys/ojii-chan love Matsuya
My wife once brought me natto from her business trip to Japan, and I loved it (she doesn't) because I was curious about it. To my surprise, I could find it quite easily in my country (Indonesia) with the same price and the same brand as it was in Tokyo. Now it has become a staple in my household.
how would you describe the taste? what Indonesian food share similarities (in terms of taste) with natto? I'm so intimidated to try, fearing it won't worth the try lol
@@HerebyDeclare it's definitely slimy and sticky, you gotta wash your lips after slurping natto. The soybeans are tender. Taste wise, it's a bit bitter, just a tiny bit tho, and salty. The aroma resembles oncom or tauco, but not as pungent. Best paired with hot rice and sunny side ups. It's only 33k for a three-pack bundle.
@@HerebyDeclareget a bag of bean sprouts and let it sit until it's all brown not quite rotten but on it's last legs. Then take a whiff, basically that's what it tastes like. It's not vomit inducing, the sauces definitely make it not too bad but the texture is what you have to get used to. Not disgusting but definitely an acquired taste.
DUDE!! Another foreigner who understands the magic of Matsuya!! I’ve been stationed in Yokosuka for 5 years now and Matsuya is STILL my all time favorite chain restaurant. Used to love chowing down on the hamburg steak set with a bottle of Lipton Apple Tea. The good times~
LMAO. I feel seen. I understand the love for Matsuya. I'm from Southeast Asia and am used to my food being flavored strongly. When living in Japan, most food were seasoned lightly with a focus on their natural taste. While living there, Matsuya was one of the few places that really satisfied my tastebuds. That said, I think cold soba is the best Japanese dish there is. Paired with a bit of tempura and I'm more than good.
@@jeremyrennerapp The three that are in my town don't carry it because it doesn't sell... I don't blame them I asked if they could special order it I would have to buy a whole bunch.
TH-cam knows I’ve been wanting to go for a long time. I get all sorts of these, like history, this sweet red head girl that works over there, that guy that does shorts on trying all the different asian restaurants. Maybe one day we’ll get to visit! I’ve been vicariously living through these shorts!
Did a really great job of showing how Japanese is a collaborative language, where it is a requirement to meet your fellow conversationalist wherever they are
@@karenrosero2288That's because the words originated from Chinese characters(not chinese language) two thousand years ago. Ancient Korean took the Chinese characters as their writing system and then taught them to ancient Japanese. So Japanese Kanji(chinese characters) sounds similar to Korean.
1 Day: Still in English with typical “what I like” for foreigners. 1 Month: In Japanese, but slow, super proper, and elementary level. Likes fried and grilled foods, like most people. 1 Year: Enough to speak like a native, eating natto like it’s nothing :) 10 Years: Enough to speak like you’re from the sticks (rural) Japan, mentioning eating good food from a food chain you like and onsen baths.
@@deusvult1268 could you please name some of Finnish foods that are so unique people appear to not love them? I found myself amuzed at myself now cause I just can't think of Finland-only dishes now even though I'm right next to your border right now.(
I really appreciate how Japanese folks understand their language is hard as hell so slowing it down is pretty common. It's next level polite, closest thing I could compare it to is simplifying something for a younger person.
I only picked up a few Japanese words over the years, and have actually studied Korean. And although I know that the Chinese, Korean and Japanese languages are closely connected historically, it always fascinates and excites me to actually witness similarities. In this example here when the long haired gentleman listed two food by adding "-do" and "-ga". That's definitely used in Korean as well (one possible option)
Japanese is such a beautiful sounding language. I’d LOVE to learn how to speak it, but I’ve heard it’s one of the most difficult languages to learn aside from German and certain dialects of Chinese. So it’s a bit intimidating.
Inago no tsukudani and karasumi were things I didn't think I would enjoy but were surprisingly good. I never turn down hashimaki. Matsuya has good teishoku.
I think it's a culture shock for the Japanese themselves: hearing the foreigner speak their language.
"We spent centuries building our language on implied meanings and proverbs to throw off foreigners, how dare he!"
I’m sure it’s also a shock for a foreigner to love natto.
@@wonderspace90Nahh natto is an acquired taste

This is facts. Natto is so portable too. Only thing I'd add is the Kombini Mapo Tofu.
