@@ToKiniAndyHi Andy :) I hope you’re doing well! Sorry to bother, but I was wondering if you can help me with one grammar rule I haven’t really understood. I’ve gone through the first point of Genki L 12 regarding “noda/ndesu” and it’s all clear to me except how and especially when to use “na/dattandesu” correctly with the nouns. In the video it’s said that it depends on the type of nouns, but I wasn’t able to understand which type of nouns need “na” in between😕. Also, I was wondering if it’s possible to use the present short form “dandesu”, since “datta” is the past short form of desu. Thank you very much in advance! I love your videos❤ Sara
Dear sir, by accident I stumbled across your youtube channel. For now I watched your explanations of Genki 1 lesson 11 and 12 (which I am currently learning for the first time). Your lessons are a lifesaver. I will watch all of them! In absence of a real teacher (or someone who can speak Japanese) you are my new sensei. Thank you for your time and effort.
I just got to "ndesu" in my Japanese class and I had so much trouble understanding it so I'm very thankful for this video for making it easier to understand. Thanks Ando!
thanks for making such amazing and free content! i struggled to get through the first few genki lessons with the textbook, so I found your series to be much more accessible. onto genki 2!
Thank you so much @unibirb! I appreciate the support, and I'm so happy to hear that you found this series helpful. Congratulations on finishing Genki 1! See you in Genki 2. 😊
Holy crap, I can't believe I've finished Genki 1 finally! With your videos and the tests on your patreon, I'm always way more confident in gauging how well I know certain grammar points. I just ordered my workbook for Genki 2 and can't wait to jump into those lessons soon. As always, thanks a ton for the incredibly high quality content Andy! You make Japanese so much easier to understand.
aside from the fact that i can't thank you enough for doing this video lessons, for people like me who are passionate about language learning and are self studying you are literally a life saver. Thank you truly! I also appreciate your shirt matching the curtain in the background XD that's a nice little touch :)
I see how many other grateful souls there are in the comments, but I must add to them. I really cant thank you enough for this incredible content. Near the end of Genki 1 I really started to feel like I was starting to get the hang of the way Japanese works and it just became so much fun learning all these new things and not feeling too overwhelmed by them. Can't wait to get started on Genki 2 after a brief review of Genki 1!
Anyone curious about the small nuance between いけない and ならない as the endings to なきゃ： I had it explained to me that いけない has a small volitional implication: お母さんに電話しなきゃいけない I must call my mom. (Slight implication that I am choosing to.) Kind of literally: I cannot go on not calling my mom. (Because it pains my heart so!) ならない has a slight implication that the circumstance is involuntary. It deemphasizes personal responsibility: 病院に行かなきゃならない I must go the hospital. Kind of literally: It has not become so that I can not go to the hospital. (Because I'm already in the ambulance, strapped to the gurney, and can't very well leave now can I?) Confusing? Yeah! But kind of fun!

Just a quick question on the んです form. How would I use a negative な adjective or noun? As in: Instead of "That is a cat" = それは猫なんです How would I write "That is not a cat" in the same way as an explanation? Would it be "それは猫じゃないんです"? And then for the past tense "それは猫じゃなかったんです"?
Thank you so much for this series, Andy. I don't even own the Genki books and find this series much better than the typical Tae Kim recommendation. Your explanations are simple and to the point, the presentation of sentence structure is fantastic (Helped me a lot in deciphering Japanese sentences - during my first weeks of learning I wasn't even able to tell when words start and end e.g. in Yotsubato!), and the continous dialogue examples are great to give the lessons a sense of progress and relevance, as well as adding some fun to the dry early learning phase. Especially because you keep adding more realistic contexts which makes the series seem more anchored in reality than your typical textbook lessons and lets us learn about the culture along with the grammar.
Is there a reason the sentence at 39:30 is 「お部屋の掃除しなきゃ...」and not 「お部屋を掃除しなきゃ...」? It seems like the object, but is there a special usage for の when using 掃除?
For "must", the differences between いけない and ならない are: A. ならない can only form the two patterns なければならない and なくてはならない, while いけない can form all the patterns, like ないといけない, etc. B. いけない is very subjective while ならない is more objective, so when it comes to obligations, laws and regulations, you would often see ならない.
Thank you so, so much for doing this! I wouldn’t have been able to finish Genki 1 on my own without your videos! I once tried to but could never get to the end of it since I kept getting stuck and confused. Your explanations, extra grammar notes and fun examples really helped so I appreciate it a lot. You’re a lifesaver for real! I hope your channel continues to grow because you truly deserve it. Can’t wait to start Genki 2 soon, after I revise Genki 1 a little first :D
昨日、アンディの動画を見たんです。 大学の授業をサボりすぎました。 明日、クラスに行った方がいいです。 Thank you for the explanation on the difference between ので and から. May I please ask what source you used for that information? 良い成績を取りたいので、クラスに行った方がいいです。 毎日、外に犬を連れて行かないといけません。 Thank you for the explanation on でしょうか. 明日もすごく暑いでしょう。 もっと授業を取ったほうがいいです。 Thanks Andy Thanks Yuki
Oh man I'm in college right now doing the beginners series of Japanese. I want to get a minor in Japanese, but classes have been so difficult, and I find myself to be unmotivated lately. I have been arguing with myself with whether or not I should give up on the minor because of its difficulty and how stressed I am about it. I judt found this video today, the day I have my midterm for it. I'm so sad I haven't found your videos sooner. I feel that I could've retained and learned a lot more, and stayed motivated. Please keep making this videos they are great and so helpful!
Somehow I got to the end of book 1 before my university course started! Thank you so much for these videos. I still have some workbook practice to do and heading over to the patron to do some shadowing!
Hi Andy, sorry for a comment on an old video. Regarding the んです, in one example you said: "Why didn't you buy it?" "Because it was expensive!"->たかかったんだ! Could you instead just say たかかった から? Does that sound unnatural? Is that used at all?
Thanks for this. I have Genki 1 first edition, and なきゃ is not in there. So I when I came across it in my Genki 2 second edition, I was so confused. This cleared it right up.
Ight i just started learning but I feel like a good way to translate んです is this: If its a question it kinda acts like “huh?” If it’s a statement it kinda acts like “yerd” Ex Why didn’t you buy it, huh? It was too expensive, yerd me?
Andy, Thanks so much for these helpful videos. I am on the last chapter of Genki 1 now but didn't discover you until I was a couple of chapters back!! I don't understand the use of -SA in 'tabenaSA SUGIRU'. -- What does the SA mean? The short form is tabenai so why tabenaSA sugiru and not tabenasugiru? I must have missed something in a previous video because I don't see it in Genki. Thanks! Heather
Thank you for this great series. I am on chapter 12 with my Japanese teacher at the moment. Your explanations are a god send for me as I don't think the Genki explanations are very good. keep up the great work and I'll join you for book two. Hopefully then on to your intermediate course.
やった! it took me 1 whole year to completely read Genki 1 and watched all your Genki 1 lesson 1 to 12 videos, ToKini Andy Sensei~! Now i am ready for Genki 2! ありがとう ございます!
Hey Andy, thanks so much for making these videos. I've been struggling to read through the Genki books but your videos really make the content come alive and your additional information around the grammar points are very helpful. Please continue to make more content!
What's the difference between んです and から/ので? Thanks for the video!! All the different forms of the verbs are so confusing haha. For example, I can't remember if に行く uses ます stem, て form, or short form haha.... So many!!!!
から and ので are conjunctions. They connect two separate thoughts, with the first part giving the reason for the second. んです offers an explanation to a question, or adds emotion to an explanation you are giving to someone for why you did something. It is not a conjunction.
昨日は食べ物を買ったんだ。(Yesterday I bought food.) 検疫ですから寝ますぎました。(Because I'm in quarantine, I sleep too much.) きれいのタオルじゃないので明日洗濯しほうがいいです。(I have no towels, so tomorrow I should do laundry.) 今週, 家賃を払わないと。 (This week, I must pay rent.) オタワに住んでますから明日はとても寒いでしょ。(I live in Ottawa, therefore it'll probably be very cold tomorrow.) 近いうちに、げんき２を始まりほうがいいです。(It would be better to start Genki 2 soon.) やった！げんき１は出来たよ。Tokini Andyさんのヴィヂオは面白いでした。ありがとうございました。(Yay! Genki 1 is done! Your videos were very interesting. Thanks so much!)
Just found your channel and I am in love with your lessons! I am learning the language on my own so being able to have the grammar explained to me in such a detail is amazing.Again thank you so much!
昨日10時半ぐらいを起きった、また寝ったんです。 毎朝、眠すぎるだよ。 明日、高校に行った方がいいですけど。。。。 全然行きたいじゃないよ。 明日、休みがないので、高校に行った方がいいです。 明日、高校に行かなきゃので、早寝な方がいいんですよ。 明日、エルサレムに多分寒いと雨が降るでしょう。 can't believe I finished Genki 1!!!! thank you so much for your help! you're a legend!
Sorry for the delay on this! Congratulations!!! You should be proud of yourself! =) お疲れさまでした！ Hope you don't mind a few corrections! １．１０時半ぐらい に 起きた ２．OK ３．全然行きたくない ４．OK ５．早寝したほうがいい or 早く寝たほうがいい ６．寒くて雨が降るでしょう Excellent attempts! =) Keep it up!
Great video, thank you so much :) I only have one question: I don't really get the difference between the usage of のです and ので. Isn't it used pretty much the same? With both expressions I tell a reason for something that happened/will happen, don't I?
They are quite different. ので is a conjunction that means "but" or "so", while のです ENDS a sentence, and implies that the sentence is an explanation of some sort.
Once again amazing work although i have a question, On Genki book about Sugiru it doesn't have a conjugation for negative form, so for nouns verb taberu will be tabenasasugiru ( i suppose its from plain negative tabenasai but u take off i and add sasugiru ) . for i adjectives we use the same rules like verbs like most of the cases, takakunasasugiru , and for na genkijanasasugiru ) what about if we want to keep negative for past tense? i didn't ate too much,it wasn't too expensive, and it wasn't too energetic? Thanks in advance
Question. Can you use ほうがいい in past tense if you say ほうがよかった ? Example sentence- タバコをすわなさほうがよかった (It would be good if you wouldn't have smoked so much)
I am! The 3rd edition should arrive at my home next Saturday or Monday, at which point I will begin planning the lesson. The first Genki 2 stream is scheduled for October 11th! =)
In the "でしょう" section, is it incorrect or does it change the meaning if you have a rising intonation for "でしょうか"? In the examples, "でしょうか" was said with a downward intonation for か.
🎉🎉🎉🤪 I really enjoy these grammar videos. These videos are really useful and clear which makes it even better. Thanks a lot. Now, I can read a lot of sentences and make sense of them, I just have to learn some vocabulary and keep refreshing the things I am not used to yet.😊😊
"What did you do yesterday?" 俺はアニメを見たんだ。 "What do you do too much of?" 昨晩に寒いコーヒーを飲みすぎた。 ところで、ありがとうございます for this series! It really helped me a lot in clarifying things where the book didn't explain well. I'll be starting Genki II around September, good luck to me for that! :))
ありがとうございます! I'm taking the N5 in a few weeks, and these lessons have been super helpful for getting through Genki. You're really good at explaining things, and I appreciate the extra grammar background you give.
Thank you so much for making these videos. I watched all 12 lessons. Unfortunately, I can't afford to buy Genki's book nor become a Patreon. I think if it could, my journey will be easy.
Thanks for this series! Lesson 12 is the first to actually push me, which is good. As per some homework, here’s one that sprung to my mind after reading Sleeping Beauty to my daughter: 鏡をみてなさすぎ方がいいよ
Thank you for this content Andy. This saves me from every dead end on my N5 Studies. 😂 I have been watching this for 3 monts I finally made it through Lesson 12.
Thanks for the video!! I just started with chapter 12 and was more confused than any other chapter. Your Video was a great Addition to learning with the books.
I just want to say thank you! I had been self studying with Genki and honestly when I got to chapter 3 I had just about given up because it simply was not clicking with me. These videos have been incredibly helpful, and I'm happy to have worked my way through Genki 1, and I'm looking forward to starting Genki 2!
I wonder if the difference between から and ので is a bit similar to using "because" vs. "since". In English, if I hear or use "since" I would also tend to assume that the reason is one that is obvious / already known to the listener.
Hurrah! Genki 1 is finished!!! If only I could remember more of it!!
The further you go, the more it will be reinforced, so it will stick eventually! =)
Thank you for watching!
@@ToKiniAndy thank you even though sometimes I feel discouraged it’s still fun!

I only have one question: I don't really get the difference between the usage of のです and ので. Isn't it used pretty much the same? With both expressions I tell a reason for something that happened/will happen, don't I?
They are quite different. ので is a conjunction that means "but" or "so", while のです ENDS a sentence, and implies that the sentence is an explanation of some sort.
Ashita wa, tenki ga samui deshiyo.
Is it right?
Ashita Kanji wo Benkyōshita Houga ii.
that "nasasugiru" for "too little" is pretty uncommon, isnt it?
Once again amazing work although i have a question, On Genki book about Sugiru it doesn't have a conjugation for negative form, so for nouns verb taberu will be tabenasasugiru ( i suppose its from plain negative tabenasai but u take off i and add sasugiru ) . for i adjectives we use the same rules like verbs like most of the cases, takakunasasugiru , and for na genkijanasasugiru ) what about if we want to keep negative for past tense? i didn't ate too much,it wasn't too expensive, and it wasn't too energetic?

In the "でしょう" section, is it incorrect or does it change the meaning if you have a rising intonation for "でしょうか"? In the examples, "でしょうか" was said with a downward intonation for か.
A: 昨日自転車に乗ったんです。
A: 最近、ベッドに寝ぼったすぎる。
A: ゲームしないほうがいい。
A: 明日学校は始めるので僕が行ったほうがいい。
A: 来週勉強しすぎなくちゃ。
A: 明日は暑いでしょう。
edit: changed "始まる" to "始める"
🎉🎉🎉🤪
I really enjoy these grammar videos. These videos are really useful and clear which makes it even better. Thanks a lot.
Now, I can read a lot of sentences and make sense of them, I just have to learn some vocabulary and keep refreshing the things I am not used to yet.😊😊
"What did you do yesterday?"
俺はアニメを見たんだ。
"What do you do too much of?"
昨晩に寒いコーヒーを飲みすぎた。
ところで、ありがとうございます for this series! It really helped me a lot in clarifying things where the book didn't explain well. I'll be starting Genki II around September, good luck to me for that! :))
あしたたくさんみずをのんだほうがいいです
コミックを読んだんだ。
毎日、寝すぎます。
日本語を練習しなきゃので、ビジュアルノベルを読んだほうがいい。
明日は暑いでしょう
Can't wait to get Genki 2! This series has been really helpful!
雨が降っているので傘を持ったほうがいいですよ。
レッスンをわかりませんでしたけど、ヴィデオを見ましたから、今わかります！ありがとうございます。
(hope that's all correct lol)
きのう、はたらいた、うんどうしたんです。

きのうはうちでリラックスをしんだ

すべてげんき1のビデオを見ました。先生どうもありがとう！もっと私に日本語を教えてください!
明日はたぶんまたとても暑いでしょう。春はまだ始まったばかりですが、今月はもうとても暑いだった！
ありがとうございます! I'm taking the N5 in a few weeks, and these lessons have been super helpful for getting through Genki. You're really good at explaining things, and I appreciate the extra grammar background you give.
Thank you for all these great videos! Can’t thank you enough for this amazing effort I really learned so much from these videos❤️🙏
And that's Genki 1! Thanks so much for these videos, they've been incredibly helpful. Excited to review for a while and then move onto Genki 2 :)
Thank you so much for making these videos. I watched all 12 lessons. Unfortunately, I can't afford to buy Genki's book nor become a Patreon. I think if it could, my journey will be easy.
明日は多分雨が降るでしょう
Thanks for this series! Lesson 12 is the first to actually push me, which is good.
As per some homework, here’s one that sprung to my mind after reading Sleeping Beauty to my daughter:
鏡をみてなさすぎ方がいいよ
Thank you for this content Andy. This saves me from every dead end on my N5 Studies. 😂
I have been watching this for 3 monts I finally made it through Lesson 12.
雨でしょう
Thanks for the video!! I just started with chapter 12 and was more confused than any other chapter. Your Video was a great Addition to learning with the books.
I just want to say thank you! I had been self studying with Genki and honestly when I got to chapter 3 I had just about given up because it simply was not clicking with me. These videos have been incredibly helpful, and I'm happy to have worked my way through Genki 1, and I'm looking forward to starting Genki 2!
やった！げんきは終わった！
I wonder if the difference between から and ので is a bit similar to using "because" vs. "since". In English, if I hear or use "since" I would also tend to assume that the reason is one that is obvious / already known to the listener.
明日は曇りでしょう
For んだ, could you say that it means the same thing as the explaining から？
Very informative and well explained. I'm inspired to go back and study those sentences in my own time.
I was very afraid bcoz i buy genki1 but i'm confused by doing it myself but your video is superb now i can relax and study hard
There's so much packed into this final chapter. This video helped a lot though. Cheers! ☺
love your videos they really help a lot during my Japanese studies!!!
how do you use explanatory form with a negative verb?
Thank you sooo much!!! That's a wrap for Genki 1 ❤ 🎉
