I always thought it was pronounced すみません? is suimasen a different dialect or is it the correct pronunciation?
@@ancer555 すいません is just a bit more casual than すみません. They both mean the same thing.
@@MrBaconFTWreal thx man
I'd add one more that has really helped me out: Osusume (recommendation). You can use it like "Osusume wa.." and trail off. It helps a lot if you don't know what to order, or can't read the menu.
this list is awesome thanks
'If you are in very formal situation and you need to speak very formally... then don't speak Japanese.' Best advice ever. Thank you Kaname sensei.
How do I speak polite Japanese? Kaname: you don't.
Realest advice ever, that's how you know he actually wants us to succeed
Now I'm lost...😅
i was dying laughing at that part. even for people, like me, who've been in Japan for a decent while, you just don't bother. you know you are out of your depth (speaking for myself).
@@jennsuicunethere's a couple times watching anime where one of the characters comments that another character is using formal or polite Japanese, and even though I've watched a lot of anime, I honestly can't hear the difference. It's probably far too hard for non native speakers to get to an acceptable level
@@LoneHowlerdepends on how much effort you are willing to put into it. I think politeness levels are not hard but extensive. Basically there's ですvs.だ, ます which is polite ending to verbs and, the hardest thing to learn, polite synonyms for common words, such as 食べる-飯する or 来る-いらっしゃる
Only by noticing these you can already find out if a character is using polite speech.
I remember crisply saying 'sumimasen' in restaurants and getting ignored. Eventually switching to 'suimasen' helped. Appreciate your continued emphasis on street Japanese, not keigo.
Hmm, you can say すみません or すまない。すいません is just harder to pronounce.
すみません is the correct pronunciation, so on that count I suppose it would be considered more polite by a very small margin. But just like in English, people can be lazy with pronunciation, which is why you'll sometimes hear すいません. You also might run across すんません and すんまへん, but from what I've read these are more Kansai-isms than anything else. When in doubt, stick with the standard pronunciation, but in all cases the difference is in pronunciation only (the meaning stays the same).
@@DeHaos
Thank you for this!
I studied Japanese a lot, evening classes here in the UK, and schools in Japan (but only short courses, not for a year or anything like that), and I've always said すみません - always!
Seeing Kaname-sensei using すいません made me doubt everything I ever knew. ;-)
But I would never try to be *especially* polite - I used to ask Japanese friends for rough language tips! So if I was using a more polite version, it was by accident.
Try おおおおおおおおい😂
@@stevezodiacXL5 Funny, I'm the opposite. I always try to be very polite with strangers, even in English.
@@stevezodiacXL5"すいません" and "すみません" are 99% the same. It's like the difference between "I'm going to" and "I'm gonna." Native speakers will forget which one you used within a second. 😂

This is the first Kaname video where I already knew all the words lol
I was just thinking the same thing!!
Same fr haha
dekimasu was the one new one to me, and and it feels like an important one to know! that's why i think videos like that are important to fill in the gaps some of us new learners may have missed along the way.
Can you believe it? This guy's out here just teaching people for free.
Thank you for this!
I think a video with phrases that tourists are likely to hear from Japanese people during likely interactions would be helpful. (Such as what would be said to us when entering a restaurant/shop/convenience store like "irasshaimase" or "Nan mei sama desu ka?"
Good video. Even for someone who has been studying for a while, this is still a good reminder for what I should say and how. ありがとう ございます
Would really love this to become a series!
Thank you for this video though❤
I needed this but didn't know I did. Should be an official or semi-official japan travel resource.
5th day into learning basic Japanese (phonetically) and this video has really really helped me feel more confident! Arigatō gozaismasu 🙏
"You use [suimasen] when you apologize for example you accidentally step on someone's foot, bump into someone, slap someone's *face*" This is brilliant.
I really want to see, how someone slaps someone elses face, says suimasen and then both just continue with their day 😅
Finally a Kaname video for my level of japanese
Please make this a series! ありがとう!
I've been learning Japanese for a while and this video was still very helpful. かなめ先生、ありがとう！
Bruh!! thank you, I've been taking this beginner Japanese class at a local co-op here in the states and it's been very challenging! but learning from you makes it so much easier & interesting! arigatgōzaimaus.
Yes ‘sumimasen’ isn’t hip anymore.
For the first thing, you could ask for an English written menu, which I think is:
すいません、英語メニューがありますか(?)
Suimasen, Eigo menyu- ga arimasuka?
Excuse me, do you have an English menu?
Tip: (cold) drinking water is ‘おひや’ said as oHiYa (low high high tone).
You, sir, are a GREAT teacher!! 😎 Thank you!
Is love to see more of these, they're very informative to me, im just about at the point where i can read and understand the basic phrases but you adding some variations and extra info is super helpful.
Arigatō sense! I will travel to Tokyo for work for three months. These simple phrases will be very helpful. I'd be interested in a future "phrase" series.
Thank you so much! I appreciate the real-life application and how people really speak. It's super helpful!
yes please. more videos. thank you.
just moved to japan and this video is extremely useful. you will find yourself going to different restaurants and stores and getting stuck especially in places where they speak very little english. thank you and please make this a series
I'll definitely be showing this to my family when they visit for the first time next year. Thanks for the great content!
Loved your presentation Kaname. I will have to watch it again to practice these very useful sayings. And, yes, please make more.❤❤❤
Please do more of these. Very useful❤
thanks a lot Kaname i start study nihongo now im here in nihon i finished reading some lessons but i truly learned some basic but important in this video thanks again hope to watch more video containing native Japanese conversation i mean natural conversation by Japanese not just like from textbook.. more power
すごい！It was the best clarification I had just heard about the most necessary phrases in Japanese 😮
This is an amazing format!! Hopefully there is a future series of conversation role play. Thank you so much!
i found no cantonese channel to learn Japanese. Finally I can learn Japanese through your channel. ❤
Yes please. I would love to have more Japanese words/phrases that are commonly used in speaking Japanese.
This is so useful for my solo trip to Tokyo tomorow. Arigato sensei!
liked and subscribed. like the simplicity of your approach. planning to visit japan next year so need some handy phrases i can remember as i find learning languages quite difficult. hoping for more videos. cheers!
i do plan on going to japan in some years with a friend i've been studying with, but we have a mutual friend not interested in learning but who wants to come, so this video will be very useful! thank you
Thanks Kaname, this is really useful information . I travel to Japan annually to ski and its nice to have a little more of the language, please keep posting. Cheers, Steve. ,
I love your videos and they are really helpful! Even though I’ve been living in Japan for a long time your videos make me sure I got everything right. Please, keep doing your thing🤜
This one is cool for beginners and I’m going to share it with my students🥰thank you for your hard and persistence work! Definitely, looking forward to seeing more videos🙏よろしくお願いいたします。
At the end of the video, you asked viewers if there were something they would like to see a video on. Could you please make a video on "chotto" (ちょっと)? I have seen that word used in different ways. I'm not quite sure on when or how it is used. Honto ni arigato.
I'd like this to become a series. Looking forward to it ^^
This was so helpful, thank you! I would love to see more videos like this ❤
very helpful thank you.
please make more videos! :) these are great!
Well made video, you the best! i prefer the “middle grade” Japanese videos since those are harder to come by, but I am sure others will love this
Kaname's smile add to my enjoyment of watching this video.
This was so helpful!!
I learned a couple more phrases to get ready for my trip to Japan in Nov. Arigato Gozaimasu, Kaneme-Sensei. Still a bit nervous about saying the wrong thing, but I do feel more confident now after watching this video.
Thanks very much for this lesson 🥳
A series of videos about this would be awesome!
Not gonna watch the entire video but I'm sure its very useful for other people. Keep it up Kaname!
You can slide to the end, for the algorithm.
I´m an beginner to study Japanese and this video was very helpfull thanks! but i think it is a bit to long my brain exploded ;) and the video with the sumimasen and the suimasen was also very helpfull ive never heard this bevor .. thanks
先生、great job.❤
Yes please make more videos. I Need to learn Japanese someday I want buy a Akiya and live in Japan.
This is good! Nice and simple. :)
That was great, thank you sensei.
You re a good teacher 🎉 TQ
This is so helpful, thank you.
Please make a series of helpful videos. 😊

Arigato gozaimas Kanamesan. Very helpful
Very useful, thank you

Awesome video, thank you. Have a lovely week.
arigato.

ビデオは楽しいです！これからも私たちに日本語を教えてください. i wanted to say that in japanese writing it by my self, but i had no clue how to write it so instead wrote something a bit different, like: Video Japanese is fun! Please study Japanese. so i wont try it again xd.
Phrasebook series would be great!
Yes, please make it series.
More please. Arigato gozaimasu
For any begginers who want to learn hiragana + katakana i wouldn't reccomend duo lingo for most things but it's supeisingly good at teaching charachters (but not kanji)
It's not as 'gamified' but I find the website Tofugu has a great page for learning hiragana and katakana
It breaks them into sections so you learn 5 at a time with a little memnotic for memorisation (eg: a i u e o あ、い、う、え、お) and then you do a little quiz and move on to the next 5 and it builds up
people get scared of there being two 'alphabets' but they cover the same sounds and some symbols even look similar
(ka ki ku ke ko in hiragana then katakana か カ、き キ、く ク、け ケ、こ コ)
I second this. Duolingo seems to get a little less useful the further you get into it, but at the beginning I felt like it was amazing at teaching you the characters of the two basic phonetic alphabets. I had both Hiragana and Katakana pretty much down pat in only like 3 days. For the Kanji, it's probably like just middle of the road but it's a hard thing to teach tbh especially when you're not born into it so I can't blame them for that
I’m a beginner so this is helpful 👍 thank you from Belgium
I got by with just anone, thank you, and daijoubu. Thankfully the tour guide got those translator thingies.
thank you, this is really helpful
1:12 *Slaps someone's face* Suimasen!!1!1!
12:33 Does anyone remember "My name is Jeff"?
PLEASE MAKE A SECOND んだ VIDEO FOR PRACTICE お願いします🙇🙇🙇
こんにちは、かなめ先生。When I was in Japan, a japanese guy told me that he didn't use です copula because sound like a textbook. He used the endings: ~でございます、~いたします、~だね、~だよ and ~よ。 How is it possible to speak formally and not sound like you are reading a textbook? Could you explain us this topic please? ありがとうございます。
You are a delight…..
Thank you for the great content ! Any difference between sumimasen and suimasen?
Il l'a expliqué : suimasen est plus informel et sumimasen plus poli ...
先生、質問があります、When you say すいません ( ん ) here pronouce as ( m ) or ( n ) because I really confused.❤
Many thanks indeed for answerning my question.
I suppose the difference between sumimasen and suimasen might be similar to us here in the U.S. saying "scuse me" instead of excuse me?
Yep.
Oh wow we do that quite often
Once in Japan, I had such a full bladder that people understood my face, I didn't need to say what I needed. 😂
You're a real one, Kaname. ✊
We have been using “sumimasen”. This is the first time I heard “suimasen”
I thought from the title this would be N0 (God mode Japanese), but it's actually N6
Can do lessons on college academic terms? Plus specifically for international students
Suimasen. Kore kudasai nihongo onegaishimash. Arigatoo gozaimasu~
What's the difference between [dekimasen] and [hanashimasen]? Pimsleurs taught me to say [Nihongo wa hanashimasen] to say "I don't speak Japanese"
What is the. difference between suimasen (すいません）and sumimasen (すみません)? This is the first time I've heard of suimasen (すいません）
there's no difference. japanese people are just too lazy to say the "m" 😂
suimasen is informal
@@pax. Informal, but the one everyone uses
12:32 I really felt this one
love it
ありがとうございます!!!!
I’ve never been this early 🎉
Can someone please forward this to the shop owner who put that now infamous sign up complaining that foreigners were pointing at things and saying "kore"?
Instead of Suimasen I noticed a lot of native Japanese just say Sasen or ssss lol are these okay for everyday use or consider impolite/more casual?
These videos are great. But i feel like he should be teaching English. His English is so good for a Japanese person.
先生、 動画からありがとうごさいます。日本語は少しができますけど、もっと動画（like this）いいです!
I just started learning Japanese and I’m curious why you put the English spelling but don’t separate the words. I understand in Japanese there is no separation. I feel like people would get confused and think something like dokudeska is one word. Is there a reason for this?
the foreigner card works when you dont use formal language
when i went to tokyo for three months, i literally survived on kore alone. 😂
when you waved bye, what is that word?
Kaname sensei, can I use Okaikei kudasai instead of Okaikei onegaishimas?
Perfect video for my level. 😂
