Telling Stories in Japanese
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 พ.ย. 2023
- In this video, I introduce a very common pattern of story-telling in Japanese. When people tell some stories to their friends, people oftentimes follow some certain patterns. In other words, if you learn those patterns, that will help you to talk like Japanese people do. You can introduce the context of the story first, then tell the processes before the main event. So in this video, I explain the pattern so that you can tell stories in Japanese just like Japanese people do.

kaname san really is a national treasure of the japanese learning community
I second this.
kaname sensei
cant agree more
facts
More like japanese storytelling community
Kaname sensei will drop the most fire video on Japanese grammar you've ever seen just so that he can show us the cool picture he took of some cats.
lol this is a perspective I didnt figure out

この前家族で北海道に旅行(に)行ってたんだけど、
レンタカーで山の中走ってて、そしたら猫の集団に出くわして
急いで車止めてカメラ出してシャッター切ったら、
すごくいい写真撮れた。
ねえ、見てこれ。すごくきれいでしょ？
昨日イオンに行って来たんだけど、
そこで私すごく嫌いだった小学校の先生に会ってさ、
私早く買い物終わらせたいのにずっとずっとずっと私にいろいろ話しかけてきて、
あー、本当に嫌だった。
あ、そうだ。昨日田中さんと電話したんだけど、田中さん来週アメリカから帰ってくるみたいだよ。
この前家族で北海道に旅行に行ったんだ。
その時レンタカーで山の中走ってて
レンタカーで山の中走ってて、そしたら山の中で猫の集団に出くわして
急いで車止めてカメラ出してシャッター切ったら、
レンタカーで山の中走ってたんだ。そしたら猫の集団に出くわしたんだ。
そして急いで車止めたんだ。そしてカメラ出したんだ。そしてシャッター切ったんだ。
昨日の夜何やってたの？
昨日は同僚と居酒屋に行って、それからカラオケに行って、俺だけちょっと疲れたから早く帰ってきて、家でビール二、三本飲んで、映画見て、シャワー浴びて寝たかな。
一生懸命勉強して試験に合格した。
大地震が発生して建物が崩壊した。
田中先生には本当にお世話になったので、今日プレゼント(を)用意しました。
このスイッチを押したら、電気がついた。
このスイッチを押して、電気をつけた。
スーパーで買い物してたら田中さんに会った。
この前さあ、森さんに「ちょっと太りましたね」って言ったら、すごい怒られた。
スーパーで買い物してたら田中さんに会った。
スーパーで買い物してて、そしたら田中さんに会った。

すごくいい写真撮れた
ねえ聞いて。昨日私一人でバーで飲んでたんだけど、飲んでたらなんとボブサップが入って来て、「うわー、でかい」と思って、「一緒に写真撮って欲しいなあと」思って、「すいません、写真撮ってください」って言ったら、本当に写真撮ってくれた。すごい嬉しかった！
この前家族で北海道に旅行(に)行ってきたんだけどさ、
レンタカーで山の中走っててさ、そしたら猫の集団に出くわしてさ、
急いで車止めてカメラ出してシャッター切ったらさ、
すごく綺麗な写真撮れたんだ。
この前さ、家族でさ、北海道にさ、旅行にさ、行ってきたんだけどさ、レンタカーでさ、道さ、走っててさ…
この前ね、家族でね、北海道にね、旅行にね、行ってきたんだけどね、レンタカーでね。
(Example 1)
この前さ、ヨウコと二人で温泉旅館行ったんだけど、
その旅館すごい古い旅館でさ、
まあ料理とか温泉とかはすごくよかったんだけど、
私たち夕食から帰って来て、
部屋で二人でお酒飲んで話してたら、
急に停電になってさ、
携帯のライト(を)使おうと思って、
こう携帯を手探りでこう探してたら、
手が何か柔らかいものに当たって、
それ触った時に渡し「ゾワ」ってなって、
「これ顔だ」って。
「しかもこの顔、ヨウコのじゃない」って思って、
もう私叫び出しそうになった時、
そしたら急に電気がついてさ、
パッて見たらそれおじいちゃんの顔だったの。
おじいちゃんが私の目の前に立ってるの。
もう怖くてね、私人生で初めて腰抜かした。
もう動けなくてさ。
そしたら洋子がそのおじいちゃんに、
「すいません、ここ私たちの部屋なんですけど、何してんですか」って聞いて、
そしたらおじいちゃん「真っ暗だったから部屋間違えました」って言ってそのまま出てったんだけど。
もうねえ、私その時本当に怖かったの。
うわー、それは怖いね。私でも腰抜かすわ。
でしょ？私まだその時の顔の感触残ってるもん。
でも普通停電だからって他の人の部屋に入る？
まあでもそこは湯治に来てるお年寄りが多いし、多分ボケてたんじゃないかな。
鍵かけてなかったの？
うん、鍵かけてなかった。そこ古い旅館だからさ、オートロックじゃなくて、鍵かけるの忘れちゃった。でも今度からは絶対かけるようにする。
うん、そうだね。でももしかしたら本当に幽霊かもよ？幽霊だったら鍵かけても無駄じゃない？
そんなこと言わないでよ！私それでもトラウマになりそうなんだから！
(Example 2)
ねえ、今夜どっか飲みに行かない？
あ、ごめん。今日はある人とディナーの約束しててね。
ある人？まさかお前女の人じゃないよな？
女の人だよ。
まじかお前！誰よ？
先週ジムで知り合ったんだ。
ジムで？どうやって？
いやあ、その子ジムで一人でベンチプレスやってたんだけど、
それでこう潰れそうになってたから、俺助けてあげたんだよね。
そしたら「あのー、私初心者なので、もしよかったら一緒にトレーニング手伝ってくれませんか？」って言われて、
俺その日本当は足のトレーニングする予定だったんだけど、
その子なんかすごくかわいくて、
だから一緒に胸とか三頭筋とかのトレーニングすることになったんだ。
そして、トレーニング終わったら、
「あのー、また一緒にトレーニングしてください」って言われて、
そして連絡先交換してさ、
そしてこの前LINEで会話してたら、
「今度一緒に食事に行こう」ってなって、
それで今夜一緒に食事に行くことになったんだ。
うわー、いいなあそれ。俺もうジムで10年ぐらいトレーニングしてるけど、一度もそういうふうになったことないぞ。
まあ俺は普段の行いがいいからね。まあそういうことで、今夜は無理だわ、ごめんね。
はいはい。まあせっかくのデートだし、楽しんで来い。
おう！
んでお前、この前のデートどうだった？
あー、あれね、まあ最初はすごく楽しかったんだけどね。
最初は？なんかあったの？
うちらちょっとおしゃれなイタリア料理の店に行ったんだけどね、
で、ワイン飲みながら色々話してて、
結構その子と息が合ってさ、
ワインも結構飲んで、ちょっと酔っ払いながら話してて、
俺もすごくいい気分になってさ、
うわーこの子めっちゃ可愛い！
性格もタイプだし、うわー幸せだな！って思ってたら、
「そういえばまだ話してなかったんだけど、私夫がいるの。一応念のため話しておこうと思ってね」って言われて、
俺もうね、その時心の中で「うわー、マジで…」ってすっごいショックだった。
まあ彼女の前では平然を装ってたんだけど、「あー、そうなんだ」って言ってね。
でも心の中では本当に落ち込んでた。ほんと、失恋した気分になったもん。
うわ、それは最悪だね。
ほんと。しかも俺そんときちょっと調子に乗って「今日は俺のおごりだからね」って言っちゃったからさ、
結局おいしいワインとか料理とか頼んで三万ちょっとしたからね。
もうさ、俺女の人が何考えてるのかわかんないよ。
夫に飽きて、浮気でもしたかったんじゃない？
それだったら「私夫がいるの」なんて言わないじゃん。
ねえもし人妻だと知ってて、誘われたら行った？
行かないよ。俺はちゃんとした恋愛がしたかったんだよ。
俺が欲しかったのは純愛だよ、純愛！
俺なら行ってたけどね。俺なら不倫愛だろうが浮気愛だろうが、人妻愛だろうが、愛ならなんでもいいし。
よく言うじゃん、Hの後にはIが来るって。
バカ言え。俺らは日本人だろ？日本語では「あい」が始まりなんだよ。
Thank you for this and for a great video!
Hの後にはIが来るって
Never heard that one before. That was pretty funny!😄
What does H refer to in "I comes after H"?

This guy taught japanese in another level. Never have i met a japanese language youtuber this good especially in explaining essential things
Gengo Game also teaches japanese good way
I love how you teach useful Japanese that can be implemented into the daily life instead of making a 400th video of "DON'T SAY SAYONARA❌❌❌". Keep it up sensei!!
I know what you mean lol
lol exactly
Literally!!! His videos are actually useful and valuable!!!!!
A 10 minute video why you shouldnt say sayonara or douitashimashite
「んだけど・んですけど」is really giving, "So what had happened was..." as if prompting the other person to get ready for the story because here I go sorry in advance LOL This is very interesting way to handle stepping into uncharted territory and being so polite about it. The context you always provide is great, Kaname! Thank you for your lessons. They help me expand my Japanese every time I see a new lesson. Again, you provide so much context that many text books don't. Thank you for being so thoughtful when creating lesson plans for us.
Did a miss the lesson on, 「わけ」? Because -on my hands and knees pleading- I would love a lesson on using it. I am terribly bad at it.
oh interesting. i was about to post a comment asking about the けど thing 'cause I'm trying to understand since けど usually means "but".
but your comment kinda makes a lot of sense to me. it's kinda like a quasi-"but" where it's sorta almost like "but there's more I'm gonna say about it, sorry in advance!" i guess?
@@MiaMartel64 You need to watch his other video on this exact issue you have.
@@Colourisedspoon ohhh i see, cool! thanks for letting me know.
@@MiaMartel64 I agree with the other user's comments. Kaname explains it way better! I just happen to feel in this contextualized situation, instead of only meaning "but" it works as a sentence softener to prepare the other party to either: Enjoy the story or in case they don't enjoy it and you waste their time, you've already kinda prepared them to know you shoulder some burden. I'm leaning towards the second part because it seems like a lot in Japanese, if you speak or if you listen, the burden will always fall upon you that 'you could be causing an inconvenience so be as nice as possible'😭😭😭
Do Japanese add the "けど" with the "んだ" similar to how we use "like" (of you haven't noticed it is used a lot without any real meaning) in English.
That last expression is so funny
I lived in Japan from 2014 to early 2020. Since returning home, it is hard for me to advance my Japanese or even review what I knew before, but I think this channel will be a help. I also found a monthly Japanese speakers group in my city. They go to a boba tea place nearby and only use Japanese with each other for 2 hours. I plan to go next month (I just found the group and also just had my son this month), and I hope some people will want to do weekly phone calls so we can practice Japanese more. My goal is ACTFL "advanced" or higher for 2024 (like JLPT N2 but tests all four skills and can be taken more often/via computer), as I was about JLPT N2 near the end of my time in Japan, and I'd like to at least keep my level. I also plan to use Japanese as much as possible at home with my son, because out of my husband and I, I am the only "bilingual" one, and I want my son to know a second language. 😅
Thank you for this channel!
That "H comes before I" skit tho 😭
Otherwise, another good vid from Kaname-san. Informative, concise, and humorous as always.
日本人が全部感覚でやってることを分かりやすく言語化するのが本当に上手ですね………
I find it fun to hear various story telling points just to talk to a few of my japanese classmates.. I’ve been longing to learn more about it!!
Thank you so much!!!🙌🏼🙌🏼
全部がなんとなくわかってても、そういう風に言われてみれば、頭の中で「なるほど」の連発でした。説明が上手ですね。
I really enjoy these lessons. In Hokkaido, so many people use さ so often, or at least it seems so compared to say, Honshu. Appreciate the intense detail, and loved that final joke I, H. lol 🤣
I was looking for a comment that referenced the “I comes after H” joke
What does 「Hの酸にはIが来るって。」
actually mean?
Could someone explain the joke for me please? Like I know that I comes after H in the English alphabet, I just don’t get the hidden message.
@@Shaw_My_Guy Yes, but both alphabets start with the same letter A (Ai). When he says Ai he refers to 愛(Ai) which means love and sounds like I.
@@pulpyfiction610 bro that's nasty. nice hookup culture joke they've got 💀💀
@@Shaw_My_Guy H is pronounced as えっち, which has sexual meaning, as you may know. I is read as あい, which is also 愛. So, basically "love comes after banging," or "first bang, love will follow." 💀
@@laxminarayanbhandari855 lol then the joke has nothing to do with alphabet haha just realized 😆😆😆
I love the example stories, since you’d never hear examples like those in a textbook.
I'm not even studying Japanese, but your videos pop up on my feed a lot and its very fun listening to your explanations so I end up watching anyway. I think that's a sign that you're really good at making this content so keep it up!
These videos are now part of my daily Japanese learning. Thank you! 💯
You’re easily my favorite source for learning new grammar. Excellent examples and explanation of nuances!
It's crazy how you always choose the best topics to talk about. Thanks for the good content, keep it up! :D
This is so helpful! Thank you!
This is so good! Thank you for this! You explained it so well and it was really helpful how you go back to the original sentence as you teach more things.
Story telling is such a fundamental skill in speaking and knowing all these things helps so much
I've been waiting for a lesson like this. I have a lot of the pieces I just need to get it together and get to speaking. Thank you for all you do.
Aaand that’s an instant subscribe! Exactly the type of content I need to get my Japanese to the next level! Keep it up!
I can't believe it took me so long to find this channel. What useful information.
It cannot be understated how good of a resource this channel is. Keep it up. 👍
Excellent video as always!
This video is so important! Thank you for all your amazing content, Kaname!
This is something I’ve heard quite a bit but never seen actually explained! Fantastic lesson!
I'm always amazed with the concept you choose, and always something I would be wondering about
Thank you so much
This is so helpful ! Thank you for making videos !
Thank you so much! Your videos are always so clear and helpful!
you're an amazing teacher. I swear this saved me hours of studying. you got a new subscriber in me
This channel is a goldmine of information!! Thank you very much
Bro,What a special and useful topic that rarely found in TH-cam lesson.appreciate
This is the most useful channel I've found so far for learning the nuances of the language. The examples, the explanations, the story telling. Everything is just perfect. Keep making these :D
thank you so much for always giving so many examples, I really you're one of the best resources for learning Japanese on this app
Your video just popped up on my feed and this suggested video is totally what I need to learn!
Thank you!
Thank you so much! I've been wanting to know these exact skills for a while now, but they're hard to find just searching textbooks and online. Much appreciated!
I don't know why youtube showed you to me in the recommendatons, but you're doing a great job! I wish you were there 8 years ago when I was learning japanese myself and had to figure al that out on my own.
I LOVE the way you break down Japanese. You help me understand Japanese in a way I always needed to learn.
Thank you for this kaname-sensei. Had a lot of fun learning about ~そしたら
this is so useful omg, i've always wondered the usage of ~たら and having a hard time understanding whether some sentences were hypothetical or not 😭 you explained it so well, thank you!!
dude your videos are so helpful
Thank you. You’re a great teacher.
Thank you for this senseiii🖤
Great video. Very clear explanation of grammar. Grouping the grammar points inside of a category like storytelling makes them more easy to understand . A video on tense and aspect would be useful under this category as well, I think.
This channel is a treasure
Thank you this is the information that really helps me sound more natural
I enjoy your explanation of nuances
最後のストーリー本当に面白かったです！先生、ありがとうございました。
I'm so glad i found this channel... this really did help me a lot . 教えてくれて本当にありがとう 先生!
Thank you so much! This was very helpful!
Brilliant. ! I’ve been looking for this for years Many thanks. You really understand what Japanese language learners need from a certain level up.
Explanations are crystal clear. Bravo !
Woooooooooow I had no idea how much nuance there is when conveying how you feel about something in a casual setting. I wouldn't know how to describe how English achieves this. Maybe we rely more on tone or something. This channel is incredible, I hit a wall when I was learning Japanese on my own (watching anime and talking at a language exchange) and these are the exact types of things I have been missing! This has reignited my love of learning Japanese. Thank you Naito-san!
This video is amazing! ありがとうございます
Your channel is so gooddddd!!!! Saddly I dont have enough time to focus on japanese but I know if I watch you I will learn alot
Thanks! This video helped me a lot
IVE BEEN SEARCHING THIS INFORMATION FOR A LONG TIME NOW. THANK YOUUUUU SO MUCH! かなめさんのおかげで話の伝え方を詳しく学びました。
Love this video!
Self disclosure is a huge part of social interaction
you are so good, please don‘t give up making videos
Amazing explanation 👏👏👏
OMG! 本当にかなめさんのレッスンは一番いいレッスンですね！ありがとうございます！
this video is very helpful, thank you~ 勉強になりました。役に立つ動画です。
I think this needs a series of videos..Coz this video involves many day to day using conversation..it will be very helpful to increase our speaking..
i love the attitude, the sass, just so authentic hihihi
Here it is, people, the *KEY* to finally break away from speaking like a robot
People rarely teach such thorough lessons on a single Japanese word or concept! I love it! It is much easier to study one concept in depth than to only sort of study the basics of multiple concepts and words all at once. Studying “storytelling” as a subject in Japanese is something I’ve never seen til today 😊
This is really fantastic content! 有難う御座います❗️
Thanks for the explanation. Wish I had that those back in the days.
I just wish I had a smartphone and TH-cam back in the Japanese 101 B days
P. S. - love your Videos 🤗
Kaname先生の説明はとっても分かりやすいですね！ それに、例文として数多くの日常会話が取り上げてくれて、いい勉強になりますよ。ありがとう :)
That is all I asked to learn at school!! 2 years and they couldn't give such a lesson. Amazing!!
Living in Japan, I often heard these endings ( て、さ), but understanding how to use them remained a challenge for me. I've been searching for an explanation for quite some time, so thank you for providing the clarity I needed!
かなめ先生、ありがとう！
Great video, thank you so much for another good lesson. I already know this grammar but I can never apply it when having conversations and I always sound unnatural. Please keep doing useful stuff like this!
Sensei, your videos had been so helpful. Would appreciate if there is explanation to -bakari, -tokoro, and their difference in usage, thank you! 🙇🏻♀️
Those are great stories!!!
thank you! keep it up :D
thank you very much!
Hi Kaname, I really like your videos. Would you consider making a video about the usage of なんて? I feel like i see it in so many situations and none of the explanations ive seen online cover all the cases. I think you would be the perfect man for the job. Thanks!
This is pure Gold
先生、「っていうか」「つーか」の使い分けが全くわかりません！わざわざ説明してくださると本当にありがたいです！とにかく、とても詳しいビデオをありがとうございました❤
This was such an entertaining video to watch…I’ve recently been looking for dictations to practice my listening but it’s very difficult to find interesting everyday stories spoken in a natural way at a normal speed for N4 and N3 levels. So I used your stories for practicing before reading it in English and listening to the explanation 😂…(killed 2 birds with one stone). Great content! 🤗
loved the dialogue at the end lol
Kanameさんの動画、最高！
I said it once, I’ll say it again. I learn more from this guy’s videos than any Japanese lessons I’ve ever taken. This guy is a god.
Good shit this is the stuff that helps: it shows good context of how words are used. The amount of time wasted doing flashcards. NEVER AGAIN
thanks
先生、最高です！！
like always incredible video full of essential point that are not explaijned anywhere else or at least not as well
Love how specifically targeted this is. Had always been confused by those.
I was actually thinking about this. Very useful. Wondering how storytelling would work in the 3rd person.
Fantastic! Have you done or will you do a similar video for debating a subject with someone? How to structure an argument etc.
You know that pill Neo takes in the matrix and he starts downloading languages. Japanese is my chosen downloaded language and many more but dude. You make people want to learn your language and that’s amazing! Thank you 🙏.
Tala means : look in Lingala. Beautiful Dog 🐶
So great
I swear this channel is 一番
The short story at the end is so hilarious
Thank you. Very interesting. I didn't know that ~けど can be used not only as "but".
Check out his channel, he made a whole video about けど!
Seen plenty of ~けど without anything following it. Like かなり 人がいたよ！ 会場は 小さかったけど Like many things, ~けど IS NOT "but", it's something else. When translated it only sometimes functions as "but". For example, in Lithuanian we also have the same "but". But (no pun intended) we do have sentences with ~けど that would translate to Lithuanian with a completely different word coming at the front of the first clause, and in English it would be with a "but". Japanese is a completely different language group, so it is best to not compare Japanese sentences to English. Just focus on understanding how the ~けど and other parts of language function. Like with たら that he explained or とき. Only look at the translation to get the meaning of what is being said, not the meaning of separate parts of the sentence. When you do that it helps the brain make necessary neural connections for instant comprehension.
It is the same with many of the kanji meanings. You can attach few English words to one kanji but it is not these words. Like 浴 for example. Bask in the sun, bathe in the shower etc. 浴 is like this concept of being showered with something. Could be flowers, compliments, sun, water. Just with different/appropriate parts of speech attached to it. Though sometimes kanji it might have other unrelated meaning, perhaps related to the Chinese language.
la historia del final, la mejooor! 🤣
Wow, Kaname, I've learned so much from you!!! From "ですけど, "-て,", "さ," and "ね." Thank you soooo very much! I love you!
Well done 👏 先生
