Michael is inevitable.

Thank you very much! All the credit goes back to my teacher, Cure Dolly Sensei, for making things clear to me in the first place. It's her work that allows us all to understand this simple concept without thousands of expensive textbook pages!

That's exactly what the advanced video coming up next will be about!

Just like how you can say "I went to the supermarket and bought bread", you can also say "I bought bread at the supermarket". In Japanese, this would be "「スーパーでパンを買った。」. We use the で particle here, not に, as the スーパー is where the action 買う takes place. に is only used to indicate a destination, target, or place of existence- で is used when an action takes place somewhere. I will be making a video covering every single particle in the future, but for now, you can learn more from my teacher, Cure Dolly Sensei: ua-cam.com/video/dwcTI9qvO-U/v-deo.html

Glad to hear this video cleared up the て form for you! 😎

Thank you very much! No worries, the next time you go back there, they'll wonder what you did to supercharge your 日本語 😎

A fellow Dolly classmate! Thank you very much. Dolly Sensei has left a big influence on all of us and to be able to say that I'm carrying on her legacy is really something important to me 😌

That's simple. Just don't.

First of all I appreciate the comment, but would just like to add a few things here. 1. せかい is only pronounced atamadaka, even in 新明解, and NHK (1998). 2. The "multiple pronunciations" is not random and exists for a very good reason. It is because in compound words, the result is often nakadaka. For example, 世界 is atamadaka, and 記録 is heiban. The compound word 世界記録 is 1 single word, and thus the pitch changes to nakadaka for the entire thing as 1 entity. It is a mistake to treat 世界 here as heiban, because otherwise you would need to treat 記録 as "HHL", which doesn't exist. 3. "Choosing one of the accepted pronunciations and sticking to it" should not be recommended, as learners have no say in which pronunciation to go for. If learning the standard dialect, one should simply observe how people who use the standard dialect pronounce the words in isolation, and use whatever that is. Obviously if learning other dialects, just sample from people speaking other dialects. It's not a "choice" for the learner, it is the result of observation and research. Additional note: Certain words like 何 ARE listed with multiple pronunciations in NHK. This is also not random either. 何 is usually pronounced atamadaka, except when you are using what's called a "a negative polarity item"- such as in the case of 何もない. So there is once again, a reason and certain criteria that must be met for a word to be pronounced differently. I'm not saying EVERYTHING has a clear and concise rule for which pronunciation to use, 世論 for example can be pronounced せ↑ろん、せ↓ろん、よ↓ろん. Note that よ↑ろん is not listed despite you using this in the compound word 世論調査, this is again because it's a compound word. That being said, it's again, not up to the learners CHOICE which of the 3 readings to learn. In this video: ua-cam.com/video/zFsD68TjBzY/v-deo.html, I showed a website where you can enter in Kanji to find out which is the most common reading in real life, and another website which searches UA-cam for all the times a certain word has been said so that you can see which is the most common reading. Again, learners should be concerned with understanding the word as they encounter it in input. "making a choice" is not a factor- they must seek the correct input and learn based on that.

Love the energy! Hope this video is helpful for you! 🔥🔥

The magic of Cure Dolly Sensei is to make all these "complex" concepts simple and intuitive- the way they're really meant to be!

Good job spotting that, the difference between the て form and the い stem will be in the advanced video coming next 😎

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video! I've already included the い-stem thing in my video on the verb stems where it more rightfully belongs 😎

The credit really goes to Dolly Sensei for making the information so easy to understand and explain, but thank you for watching and I'm glad this video was helpful for you!

I did indeed 🎉 Working on those vlog videos unlocked some new skills that I can now apply to these guides too 😎 Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching and commenting!

Yes, ん is the contraction of の and です is the formal version of だ, they are identical. So のだ、んだ、のです、and んです are all the same.

You're saying that shifting a vowel left or right is linguistic algebra...? If you want to be fluent, you have to put in the work.

And thank you very much for watching and commenting! Glad you enjoyed the video!

I'm honestly still dealing with the insomnia- have to take these sleeping medicines every night. And also the post covid symptoms are still affecting me as I occasionally struggle to breathe and speak. 😪 That said, my spirits are back and that's なにより大事です. Will continue moving forward and getting stronger! 💪 Thank you for your best wishes, glad you enjoyed the video!

Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it! ありがとうございます！

Thank you very much! Yes it's quite unfortunate indeed. The videos in the essential grammar series are quite important for learners so I really do hope more people get to see them!

That's the next video 😉

​@@JouzuJuls can't wait!

Glad Dolly Sensei's content is still being circulated! I'm sure she'd be glad to read this comment too! がんばれ and hope to see you again in the comments as you get better and better!

Thank you for watching and commenting, glad you enjoyed the video!

Thank you very much! This is actually noted in the worksheet for people who want to learn more ^^ I just felt that it'd be unnecessary to say here and more worth mentioning in a video purely about adjective conjugations instead 😁

Thank you very much! Also I give all the credits to this simplification to my teacher, Cure Dolly Sensei. I'm simply re-presenting the information in a more engaging way 😇

Thank you very much for watching and commenting! Glad my video was able to entertain you! 😎

Thank you very much! Hope you enjoy both those videos and find them helpful! ☺

良かったです！見てくれてありがとうございます！

The algorithm won't hold me down forever 😎 Thanks for watching and commenting, we'll break free from the algo together!

Thanks for watching and commenting and sorry for the wait!

あう is the original Japanese word, it has no kanji. Only when Kanji was imported over from China was it split to 合う and 会う, however, the core meaning is still the same. 合う is the meeting of 2 things or people that fit together in harmony, for example, 2 puzzle pieces can 合う together- meet together, fit together. While 会う is the meeting of 2 things just as a gathering. The underlying meaning behind all あう is "meet". Hope this clears things up!

Glad to be of help once again! Thanks for coming to check my other videos out too! 😎

Precisely! The thing with the English system is that it's not identifiable, which is why I thought it not worth mentioning at all. How is someone (not even a learner, but a native) supposed to tell what a certain word's origin is supposed to be? That point is that Japanese's system is easily identifiable and follows a clear and concise rule. You could say that the compass points North. While in English, while there are rules, it's not identifiable or obvious. This is a compass that points in "some directions". We might as well have not had the compass to begin with!

​@@JouzuJuls There is actually way to make it more clear to a reader. This is done in German where the change is clearly shown in the word pairings: "fallen, fällen" (fall, fell) "alt, älter" (old, elder) "Laus - Läuse" (louse, lice) (German ä and äu sound like e and oy) German shows clearly how to change one sound to another, by using an umlaut to indicate these weird changes. but english spelling kinda sucks

@@dragonapop413 Yea for sure. I actually just watched a video on "The Great Vowel Shift" in English and found it really interesting to learn the history of how English ended up so botched!

yeah english is just weird and C's make K sounds sometimes

😳😳(❁´◡`❁) また来てくれてありがとうございます！
