Hey everyone! This one has an absolute ton of examples from video games! In this video we cover the TE form, how to conjugate and how to use it! As well as some information about から and ましょうか I had a real fun time collecting all the different scenes! Hope you enjoy!
This channel is so fucking underrated. I'm not even really into video games, but you're so damn good at explaining all these topics! Plus the examples with the context!! Amazing. Would totally recommend
You seriously have the best content for breaking down and understanding Japanese grammatical concepts on YT. Your explanations are so clear, and repeating everything slowly, with examples, is the clincher for it being extremely effective for learning. While other TH-camrs that do lessons might also have detailed explanations, it's this repetition that you do while spacing it out with an example for each one, is what makes it feel like it's coming from someone that knows how to teach, and how memorization works. I'm bummed that you don't have more subscribers. Keep it up though, I've watched other creators that had under 100k for a few years, but then they suddenly exploded upwards because I guess the algorithm finally decided to expose them to the right people to go viral. I can't say how great these are to supplement the textbook and to really drill home that understanding in an easily digested way. ありがとうございます！
Incredibly well done! This is helping me a lot! This way of explaining the GENKI grammar is by far my favorite! Please please do all of the GENKI lessons. Keep up with the awesome work!
Your videos tend to be longer compared to the other channels, I thought it might be like those that I need to pause from time to time to absorb or avoid falling asleep. I was so wrong, they were presented in a manner that's easier to absorb and to practice. And all the hard work in compiling those clips made it so interesting that I'm blown to finish your videos without getting bored. Thank you so much!!
Hey Matt how do you keep track of all these examples and gameplay footage? It’s amazing how focused and specific they are. Do you take notes while playing games or do you research scripts and then record gameplay sessions when you need them? Either way it looks like a gigantic amount of work!
I'm learning Japanese and this is the first video from your channel I saw. The way you explain is amazing! Now I understood this topic. I definitely gonna watch more of your videos. Thanks a lot! ❤
I was literally thinking about how to use the て form 2 days ago. I saw few videos but it wasn't as clear to understand until you came with this amazing video. Really useful! Thank you very much
I hate textbooks so this is as close as I will get to textbooks is listening to your genki videos lol. Thank you for the video it was very clear and helpful. 😸
Omg this is so helpful thank you so much for making this. I took a japanese class in college and loved it but I wasn't able to take the next semester. I've been trying to teach myself but it's so hard when when you don't have a teacher. Finding this Chanel has been a life saver
I really enjoy your way of explaining these grammar points. Thanks a lot! I think I laso remember something about using the て form + くれて ありがとう to express gratitude for something someone else did. For example "Thanks for making this video" ビデオを作ってくれてありがとう。
HOLY hell I'm so glad i stimbled onto this video randomly after finishing Lesson 6 of the Genki text book. Im self studying and the book didn't make it obvious that the は in てはいけません was the わ sound and yeah x.x Also didnt realize he was reviewing lesson six of the book untill he got to the から part xDD
An alternate translation of dan (段) in godan(五段) means column. When you learn the kana, its usually presented in a grid format with the vowel sounds and the associated kana of those sounds aranged in a grid. e.g. a, ta, ka, ma, na are all on the same row. Godan refers to the five different columns in that kana grid, so for godan verbs when changing the ending part of the dictionary form you have to consider all five columns of different kana.
This episode is fantastic. Watching this helped me comprehend everything in this chapter of Genki so much easier. Please continue to do more videos like this for the other parts of the book! *subscribes*
Unrelated to study but it was great seeing Norman Reedus speak Japanese at 6:24 😂 Just discovered this channel and this is a really exciting way to go refresh the grammar I’ve learnt without sending myself to sleep, thank you!
I just found your channel and have been casually watching the gramplete JLPT N5 grammar, but soon realized that I lacked a bit of the foundations and came here to see if it would be better then to read Tae Kim or do Genki itself(too expensive for me). I watched all the videos from Genki and A LOT MADE SO MUCH SENSE. Thank you so much I hope you finish this soon because I want to learn more and more from you
Thanks Matt for another wondeful video, at the start of the video i was pretty confused about all this, but you explain everything so clear and at such a decent pace, keep up the amazing work
I really love this series so much! All of your content makes me want to continue and be consistent in learning more. I just wish the kanjis have furigana sometimes but since you are mentioning them, I'm just listening. このヴィデオはすごくやくだつです！とてもありがとうございます！楽しかった！
Great video. You helped me a lot with your videos and I am thankful for that. For the ichidan and godan verbs i also learned a different rule of thumb that says "if a verb ends in -eru or -iru e.g. 始める or 見る it is most likely a ichidan verb". With this rule, you can distinguish verbs like 始める which is ichidan with 始まる which is godan. Of course, there are exceptions to this like 帰る(godan) and 変える(ichidan) but there shouldn´t be all too many. Hope this helps.
First off thank you for putting so much work into those videos, they are really helpful! I have a small question, at 18:16 you are displaying the example sentence "あのっ！ちっと、聞いてもいいですか?" I was wondering, since 聞く can mean "listen" and "ask", how would you have to rephrase that sentence to make it "Um, is it okay if I listen to you for a little bit?"
少し間に聞いてもいいですか。Is what I'd use. Notice the Kanji for listen is used twice but the words are not the same. Remember that how kanji can have more than one reading/meaning. The reading for this sentence in romaji goes like "sukoshiaidani kiitemoiidesuka" where "aida" is the interval of time.
It was meant to just categorise the verbs in grammar books -- with u-verbs you have to remove u from the end to get the word stem, with ru-verbs you have to remove ru to get the stem. It wasn't really meant for teaching beginners in the first place.
Beginner question......so what exactly does "te" form do? I mean other than making requests? Is it the way Nihongo expressing "ing" as in English? I think that's called present progressive. In other words, how does one say talking, walking, eating in Nihongo? Is it with "te" form? Thanks!
Possibly yes, but also no! My first thought here would be that "koto" is more in line with what you're describing! Hanasukoto, arukukoto, taberukoto and so on: Talking, walking, eating! When combined with a verb in its dictionary form, "koto" adds "-ing" to that verb - and _nominalizes_ it. _But_ as for it being an _actual action_ that is happening, then you _do_ indeed use the "te" form - albeit together with "iru" to emphasize that the action of X is currently taking place. So Hanashiteimasu would mean that you/someone is currently talking, and Aruiteimasu that you/someone is currently walking etc.

thanks a lot, I found your channel just last week and I enjoying and learning a lot from it!
Your videos are helping me so much to wrap my head around some stuff that genki doesn't make it very clear.
That's wonderful to hear! If you ever need anything feel free to ask! I hope you enjoy learning Japanese :)

ありがとうございます！
Your teaching technique is so unique
おしえてくれてありがとうございました
I appreciate the addition of these informal contractions, Genki (at least my 2nd edition) only covers dropping the も on もいい, but not the ちゃ/じゃ ones
man your channel is so underrated im doing nihongo and mandarin at the same time

Yes I joined in some japanese course but I only start to understand until I go to this channel ❤
Unrelated to study but it was great seeing Norman Reedus speak Japanese at 6:24 😂 Just discovered this channel and this is a really exciting way to go refresh the grammar I’ve learnt without sending myself to sleep, thank you!
Your videos are amazing as always. It's helpful for someone like me who has ADHD. It's makes learning japanese language more fun.

I watched all the videos from Genki and A LOT MADE SO MUCH SENSE.
Thank you so much I hope you finish this soon because I want to learn more and more from you
Amazing video! Easily deserve 100k subs
So great vidéo to learn the T form. Excellent présentation and very clear. Thx a lot
This was really helpful! Thank you!!
Glad you found it useful! Thanks for watching!
Amazing content! your explanations are always very concise.

Great video as always! Thank you Matt - this is really helpful for my revision!
Thank you for your videos !
I'm so behind on my genki lessons. Time to get back into this!!!

Thanks Matt! Very helpful video
So useful. Thank you!
Thanks for the video
im glad you exist man
Congrats on 25k, comments to fuel the algorithm.
Thank you very much♥
I would love to see a learn Japanese with Nioh series
First off thank you for putting so much work into those videos, they are really helpful!

Lol now I know why Japanese say “Let’s! X” for so many things. Let’s! Japanese learning!
Please do a Japanese language learning video on Life is Strange❣️
I don't know how the person who came up with that U-verb vs. RU-verb stuff didn't see how confusing these names were.
It was meant to just categorise the verbs in grammar books -- with u-verbs you have to remove u from the end to get the word stem, with ru-verbs you have to remove ru to get the stem. It wasn't really meant for teaching beginners in the first place.
"ru verb" and "u verb" are just different names for godan and ichidan
omg ffx japanese voices jumpscare.... idk why i expected them to have the same tone/voices as the english version dsjfgkdg 💀
Love u man
Love love love! The best!!! Please continue this Genki series (✷‿✷)
