    What i noticed is just how drastically different the sentence composition in English and Japanese. Short japanese phrases becomes mouthful emalgamations in English and vice versa. And it is immensely fascinating.

    • @riccardob9026
      @riccardob9026 3 роки тому +5

      I agree.
      My feeling is that in Japanese the sentence is almost backward, with the verb at the end and the particles after the name they refer to. Reminds me of what in CS is called reverse polish notation... Just love it.
      (Oh, well, I love languages in general... so different and still so similar...)

    I don't really do well with conventional language courses (I lose interest very quickly, because I'm not noticing progress). So instead I'm largely just focusing on vocabulary (Japanesepod101 has 800 words that I am studying and I'm noticing I instantly started understanding more in anime). This channel however is a perfect combination with that, because if I do have a grammar question or whatever this has a very beginner friendly and clear way of explaining it.

      It's because she used で as a particle to say "In sports" and added は to make it the subject of the sentence, and が comes after baseball and tennis since that's what 好きです is going to. "As for sports" is just a more accurate translation than "In sports"

    Why in the sport example "sports" has the particle "de"? Usually I find "de" as describing a place or a mean, but this does not seem the case. Somewhere I found that it can denote a "scope" (the set of objects we are talking about?). Is this the meaning? Kind of "Among the sports I like..."

      @ghjjk357 4 роки тому

      @@euricoferreira2084 I put forth my query in the comment box on other channels as well and luckily I got an answer (not direct though). As far as I can understand and derive inference from the answer which I got, as well as by seeing more examples in this video itself, I came to know that (へ) is used as a recipient marker only in cases where 1st person is doing an action (i.e. verb) to another person i.e. that action done by me to the 2nd person. First of all, we infer "I" or "私“ in a lot of cases even though it is silent. Now looking at example from the video ”母へ電話をかけました” This sentence is translated to "I (here 私は is implied) phone called my mother". In this example we can see the First Person ("I" i.e. 私)is calling (which is the action i.e. verb) my mother (which is the second person). Similarly you can see other examples. In my query I said "母へ寿司を食べました" which is correctly being translated to "I ate sushi to my mother". As, 私 is the first person, eating sushi (is the action i.e. verb) and mother is the second person, so I when I wrote sushi o taberimasu, it meant that I "ate (as taberimasu is past tense) sushi" to my mother. Another example 母へすしを飼料(to feed). This is translating to I I feed my mother. As "I" is the first person which is implied), to feed is an action i.e. verb which is being performed and lastly mother is the second person. Further, you can add any person as first person by adding his/her name and adding は to it. I hope it clears it up.. I tried my best not to make it too complicated.

    I have been wondering.
    Is it redundant, incorrect, or unnatural to use と or か particles several times in a row to connect more than two nouns together?
    Up until now, I only assumed that it was okay. Although, I may be wrong.
    I ask because in English, saying something like "apples and carrots and oranges" can be considered all three of those things.
