      While the English in these videos is very good, it's not perfect and has mistakes that aren't easily spotted by native Japanese (like in the handshake skit it's translated as "I never thought human would have..." When it should say: I never thought a human would have 3:35 ). Additionally, learning from Japanese text translated into English is kind of redundant because although the translations are accurate, they're not natural sounding in English.

      @@diydylana3151 True. We also come to have misapprehensions of word meanings based on usage. We often hear things like "Tiananmen Square" was an ICONIC event. The Statue of Liberty is an ICONIC symbol of the U.S." Some come away thinking that must mean HUGE or SIGNIFICANT. So, we hear English native speakers frequently saying, "I had to make a really ICONIC decision." If enough people use that word that way long enough, it will eventually come to mean "huge" and "momentous." Today we hear native English speakers say, "I literally went to the store." It's stupid but even professional TV journalists say such things. Once you have embraced such misapprehensions, it is hard to purge them from your personal lexicon.

      @EdwardLindon 9 місяців тому

      The translations are good but often flawed. More importantly, the phenomenology of the Japanese idiom is explained very well indeed. I'm trying to say that giving learners a real insight into how the words feel to natives and how they're used is vastly more important than producing perfectly idiomatic and grammatically correct English versions of the skits.

      There's often an impulse among language teachers (and also regular humans) to try to induce learners to speak the language "better" (more nicely, more politely, more "grammatically") than the natives. It's extremely tedious, irritating and condescending. That makes me appreciate people like Kaname-san even more.

    I just want to say Kaname, you are absolutely the best producer of Japanese learning content on UA-cam! Recently, most of my problems with Japanese have not been basic grammatical mistakes, but instead it has largely been *nuance*. I get what a lot of words mean, but their nuance, and why certain words are preferred escape me. Even using Japanese to Japanese dictionaries, I'm left with gaps in understanding at a fluent level. I feel that each of your videos actually brings me closer to truly understanding Japanese. It's not just about words, or a wider vocabulary. I knew what Yaru meant a week into learning Japanese, but understanding the nuance like this is a huge help. Please keep making videos, these are a golden supplemental resource for learning Japanese.

    As always, your videos are incredibly helpful and explain extremely well many of the things that are not covered well in other sources.
    The impression I've had, particularly after watching this video too, is that やる is used in many of the same situations where we often (explicitly) choose to use the word "do" in English (i.e. when we choose to say "do X" instead of just making "X" into a verb in some other way). For example:
    勉強した = (I) studied.
    勉強をやった = (I) *did* my studying.
    英語を勉強する = (I) study English.
    英語の勉強をやる = (I) *do* (my) English studying.
    仕事をしますか? = Will (you) work?
    仕事をやりますか? = Will (you) *do* the work?
    野球をしています = I am playing baseball.
    野球をやっています = I *do* baseball / I am *doing* baseball (as a hobby/occupation/etc).
    This also helps to show why using it for some types of things also feels kinda strange:
    彼は握手をした = He shook hands.
    彼は握手をやった = He did a handshake.

    I'm in the section talking about ギターをやっている and it's giving me vibes similar to English phrase "I'm into guitar right now", or like "I'm really into Skyrim" or whatever. Grammatically it makes nearly no sense, I'm not physically climbing into a guitar, but it expresses that this is a hobby or minor obsession of mine. It's a thing I spend time on, and I think about when I'm not doing it, etc.
    Just a thought I had.

    It's fascinating how word choice in Japanese communicates so much about the speaker's mentality. So fluency is sort of like being able to read someone's mind based on the way they speak.

    @trblb497 10 місяців тому

    hi kaname! just wanted to let you know that, even though I'm not formally trying to learn Japanese just yet (as I'm currently learning another language), i love your videos so much. they're rich with context, objective and subjective interpretations of the languague, fun (and funny) and so easy to follow along, and packed with great examples that feel truly natural and spontaneous. one of my favorite ones so far was the video you made to talk about the meaning of "sayonara" and its relation to the samurai tale - im always so, so interested in learning the history that permeates just about anything, and with languages that's particularly true. last friday i finally was able to go to the theater and watch "the boy and the heron" / "how do you live?", hayao miyazaki's latest film, and i instantly thought of your video during a scene. spoiler alert, kinda? in one of the first scenes in the movie, the protagonist, mahito, finds out that the hospital his mom was in is on fire as a result of an ongoing war. a few scenes later, we see the boy running amongst the chaos and flames of the city, trying to get to his mom and save her, screaming and calling out for her. in the middle of it all, all he hears back from her is "sayonara, mahito". even though it was clearly not a common goodbye, and in this particular case anyone would feel the weight of her last words as they were final and her last to her son, your video about that word made this scene just that more significant.
    so! im writing all of this not only to tell you about that moment, but also to let you know something else that occurred to me after it: if you ever feel inclined to make videos about the japanese language and culture through examples, stories or analyses of japanese movies (miyazaki's or any other), books and/or tales (like the samurai's), or any other type of traditional media, please know I'd be soooo, so interested! And I'm willing to bet a lot of other people would too :) either way, keep up the amazing work, and thank you so much for teaching us such valuable things! sincerely, bia

    @SamLyn 4 місяці тому +1

    It sounds like it has the same connotation as “to undertake” a task vs to do a task in English. We would only say someone is undertaking a task/action if it is a task that would take some time or effort

  • @reeb3687
    @reeb3687 9 місяців тому

    やる meaning 1: give it a shot, take on, try to do something (especially if the success of your attempt is not necessarily guaranteed)
    past tense: やった by itself implies that the task you took on was completed successfully
    やる meaning 2: to engage in a practice, to practice as a job
    it is fairly clear how these two meanings are connected
    (correct me if i am wrong; this is just my impression of the word from how i have heard it being used)

  • @stephaniem8278
    @stephaniem8278 9 місяців тому

    I love the explanation that やる means to do it with care or effort. I always assumed it was a *Shia LeBeouf meme* vibe, but your many examples demonstrate how versatile and integral this verb can be to conversational Japanese.

    I teach Japanese at a school in Japan and sometimes get frustrated with Nihongo.
    I know that it’s the best way to learn Nihongo for students is to explain in their first languages.
    Kaname’s English explanation is very clear.
    emphasis, determination→やる
    involuntary→する
    There’s a limit to teach Nihongo in Nihongo

    Thanks for the clarification! I'm learning Japanese for myself because it's interesting. some words are best remembered when they are shown in practice where and under what circumstances they are used. Japanese doesn't seem difficult until you learn a lot of words that may have different meanings in a certain situation. The Japanese pay attention to details and this is also displayed in Japanese.
