To conjugate a る (ru) verb (a.k.a. Ichidan verb) into ます (masu) form, remove the る and replace it with ます. Examples: • たべるー＞たべー＞たべます (to eat) (kanji: 食べる) • みるー＞みー＞みます (to see) (kanji: 見る) • おぼえるー＞おぼえー＞おぼえます (to memorize) (kanji: 覚える) To conjugate a u-verb (a.k.a. Godan verb) into ます (masu) form, replace the last consonant vowel sound with the i-vowel equivalent (if the verb ends in い, simply replace it with う), then add ます. • およぐー＞およぎー＞およぎます (to swim) (kanji: 泳ぐ) • かくー＞かきー＞かきます (to write) (kanji: 書く) • わかるー＞わかりー＞わかります (to understand) (kanji: 分かる) You may have noticed that わかる ends with る, so it should be a る verb (Ichidan verb), however it simply isn't. This is because of the disheartening fact that there are plenty of verbs that end in る but are actually u-verbs (Godan verbs). The same thing also happens with い-adjectives; words like きれい (beautiful) end in い, but are actually な adjectives. I think it's also better to use informal form around close friends and family. Using ます form might actually make you seem more distant and cold.
Yeah. It's very similar to an infinitive. When she listed those other verbs it was clear that converting to -ます form from plain form isn't a perfectly regular process for every verb.
Thank you for explaining how MASU Form works in this video. It was really helpful. :) I was wondering if you could also make a video in the future explaining how to use plain form and talk informally? I'm in a Japanese learning class with some other students my age that I am pretty close with, and we have all been learning Polite Forms in class but outside of class, I would like to practice communicating informal Japanese with them.
Konbanwa sensei ,can i have a favor to you? Because i have a problem with grammar in nihongo ,because im scared to use the conjugation form at the sentence grammar. Please Can you explain it to me thank you so much sensei.
Eurico-san, No it is not considered wrong since you are adjusting your Japanese for the child. I do that 99% of the time especially when the child I am talking to is very young. However, you may also want to pay attention to how the parents talk to the child. Nowadays, some parents choose to speak to their children in Formal speech for educational purpose. (The child will grow to sound proper and mature at a younger age) In that case, you may want to stick to Formal/Polite speech to talk to the child. I hope this helps!
i know what the difference is but i don't really know how to explain it. so cmiiw you use です desu for am, is, are subtitute. example: he is a student: 彼は学生です kare wa gakusei desu. but ます masu, in general, is for verb. like talking 話します, eating 食べます, etc.
I took a quiz and I’m watching this now and I am right!!! I am using masu correct!! Idk why I got it wrong taberu in masu form is tabemasu but I still got it wrong? Can someone explain what I apparently did wrong?
I will learn ru of dictionary form for now since most japanese especially at work well ofcourse will not use masu for me and they do understand that im new at japan and the most important right now is communication weather formal or informal as long as they understand.
German: Hat jemand ein Beispiel wie dieser Unterschied auf ein deutsches Verb angewendet würde? Beispiel: Ich gehe zur Arbeit statt: ich gehen (Grundform) zur Arbeit? English: Can someone provide an example how this difference would apply to an English verb? Example: I go to work instead of: I ??? (plain form) to work? English does not seem to have these verb differences... does it?

5:00 _"Let's learn to use MASU Form first since you are no longer a 7 year old child"_ cracked me up XD
Instablaster
Me too 😂🤣 (i was looking for this comment lol)
Dude same 😂
5:02 Somehow, this sounds so passive-aggressive XD
You are such a good teacher, sensei. I have been watching a lot of your videos. Please keep up the good work 🙂

Thank you although you said it has exceptions this verb conjugation seems like it might be easier than french conjugation.
I feel like foreign students should be taught plain forms first since it helps understand inflections of the verb much easily..
Yeah. It's very similar to an infinitive. When she listed those other verbs it was clear that converting to -ます form from plain form isn't a perfectly regular process for every verb.
Very useful explanation. Many thanks
Thank you for the lessons, highly appreciated❤❤❤
I understood now the Plain form and Masu form more clearly, because of this video.
Thank you so much Ma'am. God bless you ♡
ゆこ先生ありがとう、あなたの動画はとても役に立ちます

Excelent explanation.
Thank you so much madam .....it is very useful
先生ありがとうございます。
Thank you for your teaching yuko sensie
thankyou so much for this
You’re a great sensei Yuko san and your teaching is very good 👍🏻 🙇♂️
When talking to a child of a different family, can I - an adult - use the plain form? Is that considered wrong?
Eurico-san, No it is not considered wrong since you are adjusting your Japanese for the child. I do that 99% of the time especially when the child I am talking to is very young.
However, you may also want to pay attention to how the parents talk to the child. Nowadays, some parents choose to speak to their children in Formal speech for educational purpose. (The child will grow to sound proper and mature at a younger age) In that case, you may want to stick to Formal/Polite speech to talk to the child. I hope this helps!
It was said in the vid at one point haha but now u know 🙂
Or I guess not n o w really since it’s been a year but yk what I mean.
arigato gazamashita yuko sensei

Thank you. Very useful lesson.
Doo itashimashite. (You are welcome) I'm glad it was helpful!

Doo itashimashite. (You are welcome) I'm glad you find the lesson informative!
Thank you!!! Very useful :)
つかいものですありがとございます！
2:03 that's meaning gozaimasu is the polite form of gozairu ?
Thanks!! 😁
Thanks teacher
Great video!
Thanks this is so helpful 💕
ありがとうございました！
Which one is the previous lesson that you talk about 0:23? Please answer my question, thanks in advance.
When should i use the て form and when should i use the ます form in sentences ?
you're an amazing teacher :))
I knew I sound kawaii lol great video very helpful you get straight to the point
New information teacher 🙂
ありがとうございます! This makes so much sense. Couldn’t of done it without this video
Um what's the difference between
です (Desu) and ます(Masu) since they both shows politeness..
i know what the difference is but i don't really know how to explain it. so cmiiw
you use です desu for am, is, are subtitute. example: he is a student: 彼は学生です kare wa gakusei desu.
but ます masu, in general, is for verb. like talking 話します, eating 食べます, etc.
Hi 先生 can I ask if you have an intermediate lesson thank you
can I really switch them up.. I'm scared cause I thought Japanese is strictly sov (subject, object, verb)
I'm guessing don't do it till you're actually proficient in the language
5:00 made me laugh my ass off. So passive aggressive XD
I took a quiz and I’m watching this now and I am right!!! I am using masu correct!! Idk why I got it wrong taberu in masu form is tabemasu but I still got it wrong? Can someone explain what I apparently did wrong?
「たべたい」先生はいかがですか？
me: im Doing Japanese
IRE: WHAT... NO...BUT! WHY?
I will learn ru of dictionary form for now since most japanese especially at work well ofcourse will not use masu for me and they do understand that im new at japan and the most important right now is communication weather formal or informal as long as they understand.
I understand this lesson although the one thing that confuses me is that I am a still a kid so does that mean I would use masu?
and i am not a 7 yr old child😃
the kid she means is little child. but even little child already knows how to use ます form
Why I don't have furigana over kanji in Google Translate?
What is the negative form of taberu? 🤔🤔🤔
tabemasen
You are very helpful せんせい！、ありがとうございました！(^｡^)
arigato gozaymasu
ARIGATO😊Sensei
cool ty ! but dont understand it all ;s But thanks for the information!
Something funny here so feel free to laugh: fish I eat
Masu form | Plain/Dictionary form
This a bruh moment
German: Hat jemand ein Beispiel wie dieser Unterschied auf ein deutsches Verb angewendet würde? Beispiel: Ich gehe zur Arbeit statt: ich gehen (Grundform) zur Arbeit?
English: Can someone provide an example how this difference would apply to an English verb? Example: I go to work instead of: I ??? (plain form) to work? English does not seem to have these verb differences... does it?
English does not have plain form and word differences. If you want to be polite and formal, you say “please”, “kindly” or “would you ...”.
Forest lake anyone?
Nope.. but you are かわいい とても❤️ Yukoさん。
👌🏻
僕は七歳です。
本当ですか？
Y’all hilarious
