    Yuki-san, thank you for your comment! You are absolutely right! What I explain at the end of the video is actually the difference between tadôshi & jidôshi. It's just that I chose not to use those terms to avoid confusion, since many people don't know what are transitive/intransitive verbs. I gave more details on my website ;-)

    You have to use them in full sentences! It's important to know the rule, but the brain strengthens memories when you make "meaningful association", so try to “link” it with a personal experience. In the case of the “causative” form, think about something you made/let someone do recently, and try to say it in Japanese! がんばってください!

    in my textbook, they are differentiated by jidoushi and tadoushi.
    tadoushi will use particles > person +"ni" + noun + "wo" + causative verb.
    jidoushi will use particle > person + "wo" + causative verb.
    then there's status rules of using the above grammar structure, followed by causative + kureru/ageru/morau/sashiageru/itadaku/kudasau
    and causative + te-form + itadakimasenka (request/will)
    but watching your vid for the first time, it helped me alot. Thanks!

    Rowanroyさん、こんにちは。Just one question: what is your current level in Japanese? If you are a beginner, please start with my other videos (verb groups --> masu form --> nai form...etc). If you are not sure about the order in which you should watch them, check out my website! Japanese language looks like "building blocks", and I'm sure you will get used to conjugating verbs very soon if you practice regularly ;-) がんばってください!

    From the "Handbook of Japanese Grammar" by Masahiro Tanimori (Tuttle Language Library) and they add this (confusing) information to the stuff so well presented here on YT. From page 311 (3rd ed) , "Some verbs may be changed into causative form by the following rules and conjugate as consonant-stem verbs (Group1). These verbs then become transitive verbs and must take an object (either stated or implied). Consonant-stem (Group 1) verbs: Replace the final -u with asu. When the final syllable is u, as in iu or kau, replace it with -wasu. Iru- and era-verbs: Replace the final -ru with -sasu. Irreegula (Group 3) suru - sasu, kuru - sasu. (ignore the line if it is still crossing out stuff here, it is YT)
    I don't understand what this means yet. Hopefully I'll get there but first I have to start practicing the stuff on this YT video. Thanks Mr Kanji-link san.

      Cherieさん、ありがとうございます! "sasete" is the TE form of "saseru", which I explain in this video (to make/let someone do something, verb "suru"). If you need more information on the TE-form, watch my other video: th-cam.com/video/475X4-Ujk1Y/w-d-xo.html . Now the second one is the TE-form of "sareru", which means "to be done something". This is called the passive form. I'll add it to my to-do list!

    I love your lessons however i don't quite understand the meaning of this form. To me making someone do something and letting someone do something are two entirely different things. They have in common that in both scenarios one person has the power to decide the action of another person but allowing vs. forcing are very different to me. How does one tell what is meant when the causative form is used?

      +Mohammed Bajaber The teacher spoke about the transitive verbs (with an object), and intransitive verbs (without objects).
      So, in the first case you tell the kid "to read the book(the object)" that's why he uses "kodomo NI"to give him the order.
      On the other case, you tell the kid "to go to school", then the kid turns into the "object"...That's how I could understand it.

    • @Luvableme94
      @Luvableme94 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Mohammed Bajaber
      For help of the particles, think of the sentences as ones a person will say in a conversation. Normally in Japanese, when the subject is stated in a prior sentence, it and the "ha" particle are not repeated in a new sentence if said subject is the same as before, kind of like how we sometimes do in English with calling things previously said as "It" but the second party still understanding what we're talking about.
      Let's use the first sentence about the child reading a book as an example,
      "(Watashi ha) kodomo ni hon wo yomaseru."
      Translated, this becomes;
      "(I) to the child the book **(will) make to read."
      Grammatically correct English - "I **(will) make the child read the book."
      **Verbs can mean present and future tense in some cases when in their base form
      Something that helped me understand it better was putting the verb in its past tense, turning the sentence into...
      "(Watashi ha) kodomo ni hon wo yomasemashita." (Informally - "(Watashi ha) kodomo ni hon wo yomaseta.")
      Translated, this becomes,
      "(I) to the child the book made to read."
      Grammatically correct English - "I made the child read the book."
      I hope that helped out at all! :)

      For example since all the conjugated verbs are group 2, you can say 買わせる 【かわせる】and make the て form of it: 買わせて 【かわせて】
      I think what you said could be done however, I think this is easier.

    • @KANJILink
      @KANJILink  10 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Pk4En9さん、コメントをありがとうございます。It actually depends on the context, so there is no rule to know whether it is “to make” or “to let”. For example, if I say 子供を遊ばせる (kodomo wo asobaseru), there is more chances that it means “I let the kids play” (rather than “I make the kids plays”!). But I would say that the “to make” meaning is more frequent. Hope this helps! ^^
