I have been studying Japanese and living in Japan for 8 months, and I can always go to Misa-sensei's videos for realistic understandings and uses of Japanese! No one can explain "if" better!
@@jwatson908 If I may, I suggest reading up on Japan's cultural customs and expectations such as how to behave when outside or when in a particular area (like transport or when out dining), do research on what the polite/expected behaviour is in those cases, as well as learning important Japanese phrases that will help you navigate situations like that. Hope that helps a bit.
Your teaching method is like an octopus. You teach and grab everything connected to the topic so I can understand the background of the things. ありがとうございます
Is anyone else 5minutes into the video and spent like 30minutes writing down notes. And his mind blowned had how amazingly she is explaining this! 最高の先生！
You are seriously the best Japanese teacher I've come across on UA-cam. Even when I think, "oh I'm pretty sure I already get this concept" you throw in several things that improve fluency and make my speaking sound more natural. Thank you so much. You've really helped me understand things more clearly. I've been watching your videos with breakfast every morning!
@@MusicalRaichu same here, when I know you have to use と, I use it, but whenever it's one of the other ones, I've just used nothing but たら because I didn't get the difference...
When we want to connect “because” with “when” how would it be then ? Like “I can’t eat apples because when I was 8 years I chocked on one “ how do we say this “because when … “ in Japanese ?
I don't know If this is correct, but what i've understand is that TO is a "everytime you do/whenever you do A, B happens", and TOKI is a "when I was doing/the time I was doing A, B happened." ありがとう、みさ先生 あなたは最高の日本語教師！
She gives a lot of examples till you give up. That's why you will be able to really understand the topic. Kudos to this girl! Great tutorial video!!! 👍👍👍
Thank you for this really helpful lesson. Conditionals are sooo difficult in Japanese. There are so many different forms: toki, tara, ba, to and nara. I really don't know when each of these is more appropriate. 'To' is now very clear, and I can't wait for part 2 of this lesson. I think you will also need to put out parts 3 and 4!!!
With typing, you don't necessarily have to have a great knowledge of kanji. The computer/phone provides a list of options for kanji when you type it in hiragana, and the top of the list is usually the most commonly used (like in autocorrect)
It’s essentially the ‘conditional and’ that we have in English, eg: eat that cake and you’ll get fat, or spring comes and the flowers bloom. It’s the same と particle that’s being used to make exclusive lists, just being used to present two things that happen together
@@NatiiixLP Hey ! Do you know how to connect two or more verbs in japanese? Not in the sense of describing actions (in this case we would conjugate the verbs into te form and the last one in masu form), in the sense like " I learn to speak english at the faculty"? Would you conjugate one of them into Te form and the other into Masu/dictionary form? or would you use 1 verb + koto ga + the other? how would you connect them ?

You explain everything in such detail, it's really quite effective. I never knew how to construct these types of sentences until I clicked this video. ミサさんのビデオを毎日見ると日本語でペラペラになる。
Excellent tutorial. Thank you Sensei. You can explain in such a clear way, which means you got the skills to specify the details in a language. Not every native can tell what's happening in the sentence structures. That's why your English is also so fluent. Thank God for letting me discover you.
Dear Misa You are amazing thanks very much you are a great teacher . Your make the lesson very easy. I am 50 years old but with your lesson i can mange learn quickly. 😄
Hi. I just discovered your channel a few days ago, and honestly, I'm blown away. Your explanations are so clear and thorough. It is clear that not only do you speak Japanese because you are Japanese, but you understand the workings of your Language extraordinarily well. Thanks.
Extremely clear, super useful, lots of examples, and even if you talk about something I already knew, you explain many little details around so I still learn a lot. Thank you so much for you super videos!!!
5:53 As an English speaker what helped me to understand と(to) here is to just use it as and. It's less confusing for me and it still makes sense. ですのと に ひと の なまえ を かく *と* その ひと は しぬ (Desunoto ni hito no namae o kaku *to* sono hito wa shinu.) I write someone's name in the death note, *and* they die. Or every time/when I write someone's name in the deathnote they die. Using it this way helps to understand the "if then" way that と is used.
your understanding here is completely wrong. the kaku in the sentence she is quoting is a VERB (書く) To use 'と' as 'and' in japanese, you have to remember the grammar rule of using 'と'. You can only connect noun and noun using 'と' to function as 'AND'. Like noun(1) と noun (2), That's why in this sense, while it might feel for you like less confusing, you are just going to set yourself up to use 'と' wrongly because you will keep thinking of how to use it in the English context that you assumed to be. the conditional form of 'と' are only used in Japanese when we are using it to express:- 1. *a constant result (as in unchanged facts)* taking again the example you quote, 'デスノートに人の名前を書くとその人は死ぬ,' this is a constant result because *IF/WHEN* you wrote someone's name in a deathnote, it will result in death of that person. it definitely does not mean *and'* here. Another example in the video to express this 'constant result/unchanged fact' will be the '春になる*と*、桜が咲きます' (Sakura will bloom when Springs arrived/Sakura will bloom in Spring) 2. *Actual Conditions* Like giving instructions for usage of machines. Eg: このボタンを押す*と*、CDが止まります (kono botan wo osu*to*, cd ga tomarimasu-when you press this button, the cd will stop) 3. *Natural Phenomenon/Nature Facts* Refer back to the Sakura will bloom example in #1 4. *Used as conditional when giving directions* Eg: 左に曲がる*と*、駅があります (hidari ni magaru*to*, eki ga arimasu- *IF/WHEN* you turn left, there station is there/there's a station) Another reason why I said your understanding for 'と' is wrong here is because '~と, .....' cannot be used in phrases/statements/sentences that is showing a speaker's will, (also requests, order, and permissions) Thus when you state it as 'i write someone's name in the deathnote and they die' its stating your will/volition (意志) cause it gives off the understanding that your intention to write someone name and they die. I hope this makes you understand '~と" as conditional better because it doesn't seems like you did with this video with your comment.
It makes sense for an english speaker I suppose. I write and (as a consequence) they die. In my language, I tend to think of it as By writing due to, they die. Or Action of writing with, they die. Something like that. Anyway, perfect or not, it works.
So refreshing to hear someone teaching Japanese with a more English accent than the usual American. I find it easier to follow and down to earth with an English accent.
@@monotzukokuureshii i think Sebastian is comparing to only English xD other European languages like Polish have very flexible grammar and saying things in the japanese pattern makes sense even in polish, btw, in polish we have also "to" in the same place and meaning and pronounciation as in japanese XD

Benjamin Hutcherson hi can i ask how long you started to learn Japanese? You know how to use kanji too? Amazing

Great example! Only I think you need to say 覚える（おぼえる） instead of 習う. What you've said suggests that the videos help you at school.
bmilner That's right. I feel sad when I'm reading the comments and I find a kanji I don't know and the person who wrote probably neither lol
use rikaikun on chrome and problem is solved
Wonderful and ultra-productive lesson!
I love how you explain things and break down the sentence word for word. Really helpful in getting a better grasp of the language.
The difference between と and とき seems to be a little like “whenever” and “when”.
In some cases, you could also translate ～とき as "while" because very often both things happen in parallel with this type of sentences.
It’s essentially the ‘conditional and’ that we have in English, eg: eat that cake and you’ll get fat, or spring comes and the flowers bloom. It’s the same と particle that’s being used to make exclusive lists, just being used to present two things that happen together
"toki" means "time" so "time when" = "when(ever)".
