本当にありがとうございます🙏🌹🌹🌹 Kaname-sensei, how you are teaching Japanese particles or other concept in context while also providing ample examples and not as segregated individual parts of a language makes me proud to learn from you. You're doing supreme work and I cannot thank you enough 🌹🌹🌹
I know ぞ is just a more masculine form of よ, like drawing attention to something, I don't know much about the other ones though. I say just read lots about them and try to use them alot
From my experience わ is mostly used by women and seems to be similar to よ. I've mostly heard "~わ" and "~わよ" used in anime but I don't think i've heard a girl use it irl. Men can also use it but it tends so be in shorter sentences/phrases and you need to make sure to attach the わ with a low pitch accent or you might sounds kinda feminine(?). I've also heard women use it this way too. Thats just what i've picked up tho, and i'm nowhere near native lol.
わ is a feminine spin on よ but it's not really part of the standard set.さ is like -ness or in a more general way, a slight emphasis on something(ish) (この人は優しさ）
Such a great Japanese language teacher! Undoubtedly one of the best ones on TH-cam. Always showing us the real, practical use cases for the subject of the video, rather than a sterile textbook-like approach! Always appreciated, ありがとうございました、内藤先生

Hey just discovered this channel and want to say so far it's been refreshing seeing a not dry humorless teacher. Was wondering if at some point you could do the variations of "to go" found that the variations of words involving going or "went to" to be confusing
Thank you so much! This was really helpful. I laughed a lot and, even though I could be doing anything else, I really wanted to stay and watch your video! It felt informative and entertaining. I just started a Japanese class this semester and I think your channel is going to be my favorite.
Wow, this guys videos are always super informative. I rarely use sentence ending particles because I'm always afraid of messing them up. This helps a lot. 🙏
Please make one of these for 〜と思う! I was taught to use it to say “I think” but I feel like I see it come up in so many contexts that wouldn’t necessarily translate that way but I can’t figure out a reasoning behind them
We have the exact same thing in German (at least where I come from) For example “Die Suppe schmeckt gut, ne?” Answer could be “Ja, ne”. If you said to someone “Ramen schmeckt gut, ne?” who never had Ramen they would basically tell you “no clue, never had it”. Seems very similar to japanese. Even uses the same sound. So this is actually super easy for me 🙏🏻
but it's not a rule, it's often kind of a marotte. I don't think you would find this in a German textbook. "ne?" is like a slang abbreviation of "nicht?" or "nicht wahr?", which is said differently depending on region. In other regions like the Berlin area you instead say "wa" at the end of a sentence.
As a Portuguese speaker I understand "ne" because we have it in our language too and it also sounds like the Japanese ne. I wonder if Japan got it from the Portuguese conquistadors from their cultural exchanges from centuries ago. In our language "né" is a short for "Não é?" (Isn't it?).
Wow! I had no idea that even if the other person has experienced the same thing (but not WITH you) that you shouldn't use NE. I am blown away by this information.
My pen friend from Japan uses ね twenty four seven and it’s always confused the heck out of me (though I understood the gist of it). I must’ve embarrassed myself so many times in our DM’s by using it incorrectly. Now I know better.. Thanks for a thorough breakdown!
Wow, thank you for this vid. I clearly did understand the use of ね, よ, だよ and よね in a short time. You're examples and explanations are really great, great for learning Japanese and great for doing shadowing. ありがとうございます looking forward for more educational Jp vids. 😁
Thanks for providing all this additional context around how ね is used! I had one question regarding the sentence at 10:20 「かわいくないしょ？」. What is the meaning of the ending 「〜しょ」 here? Is this a shortened and/or casual version of 〜でしょう, or is there other meaning/connotation behind this ending?
So, I have a question. Why does the word 雰囲気 is transcribed as ふんいき but always sounds more like ふいんき ? Like, I've been listening to that part on repeat and it really sounds like the latter way more than the former, or am I hearing things?
That’s how people usually pronounce. People pronounce some words differently than how it spells. ふんいき→ふいんき てんいん（店員）→ていいん せんたくき（洗濯機）→せんたっき It’s not that you are supposed to pronounce that way, it is just people habitually pronounce them that way.
@@kanamenaito Thank you for the answer, I figured it was something like that but I'm happy you confirmed it. It's actually a very interesting and useful bit of info, maybe you should consider making a video about this. I mean, a lot of beginners fall for the "Japanese language is easy because you always pronounce stuff the way it's written" and it can really mess up the way you perceive things.
@@SkinnyBlackout as with most languages, difficult to pronounce things get shortened / butchered for convenience sake. this also goes for a lot of grammar structures as well. tbh its not really something that you can accidently miss after making it out of the beginner stages so i dont think a video is warranted but who knows. i do still hear people not doing 無声化 when they have been learning for years but thats a tad bit harder to catched to the untrained ear.
@@d0xter742 With grammar it's way easier to learn these things since it's still kinda structural whereas with words and stuff you can't really learn it unless you hear it at least once, which is why I think a video would be really good. I've been studying for some years now but I still occasionally have questions regarding pronunciation, like pitch accent and such. Some things I just absolutely have to hear to understand properly, but that's just me. Like, I can read about a concept 100 times and still have no clue about it but I'm able to grasp difficult things by seeing how they work, I'm just more of a practical learner so to speak.
I went through a toll gate on the highway when I was visiting Japan, the employee there said ありがとね after I paid and I don’t understand why he added ね. Does anybody know?
Your videos are gold dude, I dont know if its all part of the plan but it feels like you're intentionally using majority N5 vocab heavily and thats so helpful to me as a beginner. *Side note: A stake is what you stab a vampire with and a steak is what you eat.
In portuguese, we use "né?" at the end of a sentence communicate the same way. I thought it came from shortening "não é?" (isn't it?) but considering the huge amount of Japanese immigrants and the entonation sounding just the same as ね, I wholeheartedly believe we inherited the word from Japanese speakers in our country.
@@_P2M_ Something I do know for a fact and I didn't expect is that the Japanese パン (pan) comes from Portuguese's pão, and not from the obvious Spanish pan, for example.
@@CVPRCR Well, yes. It was the Portuguese who first visited Japan during the age of discovery. Spain just mostly concerned itself with the Americas, as per the Treaty of Tordesillas. コップ is also a loanword taken from Portuguese.
@@CVPRCR ガラス is "glass", as in the material. It comes from Dutch. グラス is "glass", but like a glass cup. That one comes from English. コップ is a more general term for a cup, since "glass" only refers to cups made of glass.
Funny how in some parts of Northern Italy (where I live) we use to end phrases with "nè?" which sounds exactly like ね and literally means "non è?", or in English "isn't it?".
I came here ready for anything, but I am so glad we have the exactly same particle in my native languange, so I understand it completely and it is natural for me to use... Back to learning kanji I suppose then... :D
Thank you for the amazing in-depth explanation as always! If I may give a little feedback, I think the translation for "そうですね" as "yeah right" may be a bit confusing for native English speakers. The phrase "yeah, right" is almost always used in a sarcastic sense. It's like telling someone, "I don't believe you." Small detail, but the video is really great regardless.
Your videos are very good and helpful! Just letting you know, in your translation for ステーキ, you used the homophone "stake" (which is what people use, usually metal or wooden, to secure a tent, tree, etc.). I dont think anyone would want to eat a stake! The correct word would be "steak."
Another great vdeo, Kaname sensei - thank you for sharing. In English, we don't have to have the listener agree to what we are saying when using "isn't it" or its variatons. For example, "my boss asked me to come into work on the weekend, didn't he", which is said in a rhetorical way only to express one's annoyance at having to come into work on the weekend. I am sure this situation occurs in Japanese but I'm not sure how it is expressed in Japanese. Is the partlcle "ne" used in this way, too? Maybe "yo" would be more appropriate in this context as it's providing new informaiion.
so would using 'ne' in the sentence "soo desu ne. baabekuyuu (BBQ) ga shitai desu ne" used at 4:41, would that be the english equivalent to "yeah right. todays a good day for a BBQ isn't?"? Would it be like literally asking to do a BBQ, or is it like suggesting they should do one like seeking that validation that a BBQ is a good idea. Does it mean this as an indirect suggestion or as a question? (sorry for the romanji i dont have a japanese keyboard setting for my laptop lol)
I think the first two things I should learn to speak in Japanese, will be to learn many ways to apologise for my Japanese and for being a foreigner. 😏 Thank you *Kaname* very much for your instruction and generosity for making and sharing these instructions.
Kaname-Sensei, could you please study the possibility of making some video on the difficult kind of abstracts (の)こと and もの(の)? Thanks a lot for the help!
ありがとうございました、Kaname-san. May I suggest that the spoken Japanese be repeated at a slower pace so that we can catch up a bit? Thank you Wonderful job I'm glad your followers are increasing
I'd love to hear you speak about this particular word "わけ". I find it extremely confusing, and I'm certain that there'll be a lot of people that share that thought. I hope you notice this comment.
7:55, 雰囲気良くないね。 Could you help me with the pronunciation here, please? It sound's like you're saying ふいんき, but it's clearly supposed to be ふんいき. Am I mishearing? Did you misspeak? Or does it sometimes blend together when spoken fast? Second example at 13:43
You're right. He's saying ふいんき. We often pronounce words in wrong way because they are a bit difficult to pronounce. (Also, some people don't know 雰囲気's correct pronunciation is ふんいき.) For example: atmosphere ふんいき→ふいんき clerk てんいん→てーいん everyone ぜんいん→ぜーいん P.E. たいいく→たいく
Yup, I was gonna say the same thing. And isn’t the verb to turn off the tv and to erase the chalkboard the same in Portuguese? Apagar? In Japanese they use the same verb for these two actions I think(消します)
@@無名兄弟-i7m not really. In Portuguese for "turn off the TV" we would say "desligar a TV". In the context of "turn off" we use only use "apagar" for "lights", "apagar a(s) luz(es)". Mostly, we use "apagar" as "to erase".
In Russian, the meaning of ね particle can be expressed like "не так ли?" (ne tak li?). A bit similar because of "ne" in both languages. For example: Сегодня жарко, не так ли? / it is hot today, isn't it? / 今日暑いですね
I don't know if I missed it in your video, but here in Osaka, I've come to recognize "ne" being used in a slightly different way, which used to confuse me for a while. Someone would just ask a question, then stick the "ne" at the end. Of course now I can't think of a perfect example, but something as simple as like, "フラペチーノ、コーヒーが入ってますかね？" Just a general question with the usual "ka" at the end, but the quick "ne" tacked on, and the "ne" sounds decisive, not questioning. I try to reason it out as if the question is being posed like, "This Frappuccino has coffee in it, doesn't it." ....hahah, though in English that wording sounds as if the asker is a bit suspicious of what's really in the Frappuccino! :D

Kaname-sensei, how you are teaching Japanese particles or other concept in context while also providing ample examples and not as segregated individual parts of a language makes me proud to learn from you. You're doing supreme work and I cannot thank you enough 🌹🌹🌹
Great video! Do you think you'll do a similar one for other particles? Especially わ, ぞ, ぜ, さ
I know ぞ is just a more masculine form of よ, like drawing attention to something, I don't know much about the other ones though.
I say just read lots about them and try to use them alot
From my experience わ is mostly used by women and seems to be similar to よ. I've mostly heard "~わ" and "~わよ" used in anime but I don't think i've heard a girl use it irl.

my fav yt channel. ur so helpful. the only one that actually helps me
Thank you so much! This was really helpful. I laughed a lot and, even though I could be doing anything else, I really wanted to stay and watch your video! It felt informative and entertaining. I just started a Japanese class this semester and I think your channel is going to be my favorite.
Thank you! Really your teaching style is very clear and easy to understand! 😊
It's similar to using "isn't it" in English, like "the moon is beautiful tonight, isn't it" (question mark optional)
Thank you so much for your videos, they are extremely helpful!🌷
I am incredibly grateful for these videos. Thank you. 🙏
He gets right to it with no time to waste and I like that. I like his examples😊
Wow, this guys videos are always super informative. I rarely use sentence ending particles because I'm always afraid of messing them up. This helps a lot. 🙏
Please make one of these for 〜と思う! I was taught to use it to say “I think” but I feel like I see it come up in so many contexts that wouldn’t necessarily translate that way but I can’t figure out a reasoning behind them
Could you please make some examples? I'm curious
We have the exact same thing in German (at least where I come from) For example “Die Suppe schmeckt gut, ne?” Answer could be “Ja, ne”.
If you said to someone “Ramen schmeckt gut, ne?” who never had Ramen they would basically tell you “no clue, never had it”.
Seems very similar to japanese. Even uses the same sound.
So this is actually super easy for me 🙏🏻
haha interesting😆
but it's not a rule, it's often kind of a marotte. I don't think you would find this in a German textbook. "ne?" is like a slang abbreviation of "nicht?" or "nicht wahr?", which is said differently depending on region. In other regions like the Berlin area you instead say "wa" at the end of a sentence.
Ne is also the form we use for nein in Elsaß. It's just a happy coïncidence but the real meaning is not the same.
I always wondered how to use it. Thank you sooooo much for this video!!
my absolute favorite channel on youtube. much love from Berlin ❤
Kaname sensei ❤ i always looking forward to your video
I love your content, it feels like it's right around my current level.
This is a beautiful lesson about Japanese pragmatics and speech acts in real life situation.
this is stuff i already know, but i watch kaname anyway because how well he explains it.
In Brazilian portuguese specially in Rio de Janeiro we use a particle with the same sound in the same way: "né"
em todo brasil se usa "né"
Wow really good channel, just discovered it recently. The examples are really concrete and I like that, thank you and good work 😊
As a Portuguese speaker I understand "ne" because we have it in our language too and it also sounds like the Japanese ne. I wonder if Japan got it from the Portuguese conquistadors from their cultural exchanges from centuries ago. In our language "né" is a short for "Não é?" (Isn't it?).
Amazing! Thanks for this incredible video 🙏
I learn alot. Thank you very much
2:40 that's what I was wondering! Thanks!
Its funny bcs in portuguese we also do that, we say né which is abreviation for não é? (isn't it?), and the pronunciation is the same
Wow! I had no idea that even if the other person has experienced the same thing (but not WITH you) that you shouldn't use NE. I am blown away by this information.
The examples are such an emotional rollercoaster. I laughed. I cried. I learned about ne.
My pen friend from Japan uses ね twenty four seven and it’s always confused the heck out of me (though I understood the gist of it). I must’ve embarrassed myself so many times in our DM’s by using it incorrectly. Now I know better.. Thanks for a thorough breakdown!
Wow, thank you for this vid. I clearly did understand the use of ね, よ, だよ and よね in a short time. You're examples and explanations are really great, great for learning Japanese and great for doing shadowing. ありがとうございます looking forward for more educational Jp vids. 😁
あなたの努力に感謝 🙏
Kaname-san no 'ne' kawaii yo ne! かなめーさんの「ね」かわいいよね！
ow wow, 22 minutes? excited to dig into this video :)
Thanks for providing all this additional context around how ね is used! I had one question regarding the sentence at 10:20 「かわいくないしょ？」. What is the meaning of the ending 「〜しょ」 here? Is this a shortened and/or casual version of 〜でしょう, or is there other meaning/connotation behind this ending?
Language is about feeling, and you communicate this well.
So, I have a question. Why does the word 雰囲気 is transcribed as ふんいき but always sounds more like ふいんき ? Like, I've been listening to that part on repeat and it really sounds like the latter way more than the former, or am I hearing things?
That’s how people usually pronounce. People pronounce some words differently than how it spells.
ふんいき→ふいんき
てんいん（店員）→ていいん
せんたくき（洗濯機）→せんたっき
It’s not that you are supposed to pronounce that way, it is just people habitually pronounce them that way.
@@kanamenaito Thank you for the answer, I figured it was something like that but I'm happy you confirmed it. It's actually a very interesting and useful bit of info, maybe you should consider making a video about this. I mean, a lot of beginners fall for the "Japanese language is easy because you always pronounce stuff the way it's written" and it can really mess up the way you perceive things.
@@SkinnyBlackout as with most languages, difficult to pronounce things get shortened / butchered for convenience sake. this also goes for a lot of grammar structures as well. tbh its not really something that you can accidently miss after making it out of the beginner stages so i dont think a video is warranted but who knows. i do still hear people not doing 無声化 when they have been learning for years but thats a tad bit harder to catched to the untrained ear.
@@d0xter742 With grammar it's way easier to learn these things since it's still kinda structural whereas with words and stuff you can't really learn it unless you hear it at least once, which is why I think a video would be really good. I've been studying for some years now but I still occasionally have questions regarding pronunciation, like pitch accent and such. Some things I just absolutely have to hear to understand properly, but that's just me. Like, I can read about a concept 100 times and still have no clue about it but I'm able to grasp difficult things by seeing how they work, I'm just more of a practical learner so to speak.
I went through a toll gate on the highway when I was visiting Japan, the employee there said ありがとね after I paid and I don’t understand why he added ね. Does anybody know?
Wow this is actually really helpful
Your videos are gold dude, I dont know if its all part of the plan but it feels like you're intentionally using majority N5 vocab heavily and thats so helpful to me as a beginner.
*Side note: A stake is what you stab a vampire with and a steak is what you eat.
Please never change the channel banner with the dogs on it 😭😭 It makes me giggle every time I see it
So the key nuance is that its an information that we both share at the time
Very beautiful lesson.
Very good video. I learned a lot!
In portuguese, we use "né?" at the end of a sentence communicate the same way. I thought it came from shortening "não é?" (isn't it?) but considering the huge amount of Japanese immigrants and the entonation sounding just the same as ね, I wholeheartedly believe we inherited the word from Japanese speakers in our country.
Well, don't believe that, because everything indicates that it's just a coincidence. Same with "arigatou" and "obrigado" being related.
@@_P2M_ Something I do know for a fact and I didn't expect is that the Japanese パン (pan) comes from Portuguese's pão, and not from the obvious Spanish pan, for example.
@@CVPRCR
Well, yes. It was the Portuguese who first visited Japan during the age of discovery. Spain just mostly concerned itself with the Americas, as per the Treaty of Tordesillas.
コップ is also a loanword taken from Portuguese.
@@_P2M_ oh, like glass?
@@CVPRCR
ガラス is "glass", as in the material. It comes from Dutch.
グラス is "glass", but like a glass cup. That one comes from English.
コップ is a more general term for a cup, since "glass" only refers to cups made of glass.
i am a little confused about some points but this is really a great video i learned a lot thank you
Funny how in some parts of Northern Italy (where I live) we use to end phrases with "nè?" which sounds exactly like ね and literally means "non è?", or in English "isn't it?".
Same here in Brazil! We use "né".
I came here ready for anything, but I am so glad we have the exactly same particle in my native languange, so I understand it completely and it is natural for me to use... Back to learning kanji I suppose then... :D
Thank you for the amazing in-depth explanation as always!
If I may give a little feedback, I think the translation for "そうですね" as "yeah right" may be a bit confusing for native English speakers. The phrase "yeah, right" is almost always used in a sarcastic sense. It's like telling someone, "I don't believe you."
Small detail, but the video is really great regardless.
Your videos are very good and helpful! Just letting you know, in your translation for ステーキ, you used the homophone "stake" (which is what people use, usually metal or wooden, to secure a tent, tree, etc.). I dont think anyone would want to eat a stake! The correct word would be "steak."
It's fun how you seem to sidetrack onto some sort of normal conversation with yourself.
Very well explained
綺麗ですわ!
Excellent video, really good way to teach with good examples!
だけど、ステーキはSteakですよ😊
Another great vdeo, Kaname sensei - thank you for sharing. In English, we don't have to have the listener agree to what we are saying when using "isn't it" or its variatons. For example, "my boss asked me to come into work on the weekend, didn't he", which is said in a rhetorical way only to express one's annoyance at having to come into work on the weekend. I am sure this situation occurs in Japanese but I'm not sure how it is expressed in Japanese. Is the partlcle "ne" used in this way, too? Maybe "yo" would be more appropriate in this context as it's providing new informaiion.
so would using 'ne' in the sentence "soo desu ne. baabekuyuu (BBQ) ga shitai desu ne" used at 4:41, would that be the english equivalent to "yeah right. todays a good day for a BBQ isn't?"? Would it be like literally asking to do a BBQ, or is it like suggesting they should do one like seeking that validation that a BBQ is a good idea. Does it mean this as an indirect suggestion or as a question? (sorry for the romanji i dont have a japanese keyboard setting for my laptop lol)
この動画は最高ですね!!
this straight up had me thinking abt all those duolingo exaples that have "ne = isn't it" used, despite having no contextual perspective 💀
I think the first two things I should learn to speak in Japanese, will be to learn many ways to apologise for my Japanese and for being a foreigner. 😏 Thank you *Kaname* very much for your instruction and generosity for making and sharing these instructions.
Kaname has stronger lighting in this video? 💡
Kaname-Sensei, could you please study the possibility of making some video on the difficult kind of abstracts (の)こと and もの(の)?
Thanks a lot for the help!
この動画とても便利ですね！
Just what i needed
You're the man Kaname! I WILL learn Japanese.
発音めちゃくちゃいい
ね in different languages:
American English: _, right?
Canadian English: _, eh?
British English: innit (slang for isn't it)
Chinese: 吧
ありがとうございました、Kaname-san.
May I suggest that the spoken Japanese be repeated at a slower pace so that we can catch up a bit?
Thank you
Wonderful job
I'm glad your followers are increasing
Use 0.75x
I'd love to hear you speak about this particular word "わけ". I find it extremely confusing, and I'm certain that there'll be a lot of people that share that thought. I hope you notice this comment.
わけ is almost mean "reason".
But it used like "and" or "then" in local direction.
you’re incredible!
You are the Vsauce of Japanese
very helpful 🙏
7:55, 雰囲気良くないね。 Could you help me with the pronunciation here, please?
It sound's like you're saying ふいんき, but it's clearly supposed to be ふんいき.
Am I mishearing? Did you misspeak? Or does it sometimes blend together when spoken fast?
Second example at 13:43
You're right. He's saying ふいんき.
We often pronounce words in wrong way because they are a bit difficult to pronounce. (Also, some people don't know 雰囲気's correct pronunciation is ふんいき.)
For example:
atmosphere ふんいき→ふいんき
clerk てんいん→てーいん
everyone ぜんいん→ぜーいん
P.E. たいいく→たいく
I have no idea why this is, but in Portuguese you say né for the same reason.
A praia é linda, né?
Yup, I was gonna say the same thing. And isn’t the verb to turn off the tv and to erase the chalkboard the same in Portuguese? Apagar?
In Japanese they use the same verb for these two actions I think(消します)
@@無名兄弟-i7m not really. In Portuguese for "turn off the TV" we would say "desligar a TV". In the context of "turn off" we use only use "apagar" for "lights", "apagar a(s) luz(es)". Mostly, we use "apagar" as "to erase".
I kinda got lost at the middle. Def need to rewatch
I understand the ね now, but now there's a new ending I need to know "さあ" 😅
In Russian, the meaning of ね particle can be expressed like "не так ли?" (ne tak li?). A bit similar because of "ne" in both languages.
For example:
Сегодня жарко, не так ли? / it is hot today, isn't it? / 今日暑いですね
i always remember the hiragana for ne by thinking "it's curly, ne?"
すごい動画だよね！
I don't know if I missed it in your video, but here in Osaka, I've come to recognize "ne" being used in a slightly different way, which used to confuse me for a while. Someone would just ask a question, then stick the "ne" at the end. Of course now I can't think of a perfect example, but something as simple as like, "フラペチーノ、コーヒーが入ってますかね？" Just a general question with the usual "ka" at the end, but the quick "ne" tacked on, and the "ne" sounds decisive, not questioning. I try to reason it out as if the question is being posed like, "This Frappuccino has coffee in it, doesn't it." ....hahah, though in English that wording sounds as if the asker is a bit suspicious of what's really in the Frappuccino! :D
