After watching this lesson you'll be able to say "My bf/ gf hit me, stole my wallet and dumped me" in Japanese ;) P.S. 1:17 笑わられた → 笑われた (waraWAreta) typo, sorry! P.P.S Don't worry about me guys! All the examples had to be naturally "dark" because of the nature of the passive form. (Someone did ~ to me and I'm upset)
This has been the most difficult video so far for me. Luckily I can get you to repeat the lesson over and over again so I can grasp the language while I stumble through the mists of ignorance. Subtlety requires more intelligence so I am hoping Heaven will whack me on the head and hopefully let some light in. This language journey is sometimes rocky but the pagoda is always bright against the sky.
Wow, I was expecting to skip through most of this thinking "I know the passive form", but, like with your other videos, I didn't. So many new things sprinkled in along the way. Great video!! thank you!
Before watching, I was wondering why the video is so long. I'm at the intermediate stage in my Japanese. I know a lot of words but have issues with grammar. This video was the best grammar video everrrrrrr. You always answered the questions that popped into my head as soon as they did. It feet like you explained it to someone learning, found out exactly where they'd get stuck and then structured the video to fix it at each point. Plus I also love that you mentioned things that are nuanced. It's hard to get these meaning anywhere else. Truly amazing!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!
You are such an amazing teacher. The levels of detail and the clarity of your explanations always make learning from your videos fascinating and enjoyable. Thank you so much.
I wanted to say my boss made me mad yesterday and somehow this video popped up. It was just a thought in my head so idk how it heard me. I am enjoying rewatching your videos again. Can't believe its been 5 years for this video!
There was a ton of useful information in here for me. Until today, I had only thought of the passive form in Japanese to be equivalent to that in English, and it's nothing at all like it! Wow!
I'm currently reviewing the things I have already learned at my language school before the summer break is over and I cannot even begin to describe how useful this video was. Amazing!! Thank you so much for putting out such great videos. The comparisons with other grammar points is so so helpful!
This is by far the best video explaining passive on UA-cam. My teacher couldn't get me to understand it, so this helped so much! I get it now! Thank you!
Misa I was having a lot of problems understanding passive from just my textbook and this video just let me felt like I understood and cleared my doubts about this form. Thanks a lot!
Please , more videos likes this ! That's great , your lessons are actually teaching how to flow into japanese language and not be just "gaijin-robot" with book phrases. 本当にやくに立った！みさ先生、ありがとう:)
thank you Misa Sensei. really appreciate the outside the box (and books) examples because of the nuances. well explained. love all your lessons. arigatou gozaimasu!
Stumbled across your channel a few days ago and all your lessons have been wonderful. I've been specifically looking for something about the passive form of verbs, and this was fantastic! I hope you do transitive and intransitive verbs soon because I think your teaching methods might finally allow me to wrap my head around those :p Thanks a bunch for your content :D
You are wonderful Misa sensei! For as long as I have been living in japan and never ever have I meet anyone who could explain your language as exacting and clear. Even non-native speaks who seemed fluent in Japanese never seemed to be able to explain the language as well as you do. I have been in a relationship with a bilingual Japanese native for over 20 years and she never once describe her native language to me in any other way then 'use your imagination'. Well, when a language is centered on ambiguity, as I have been lead to believe, as あいまい is so frequently used in Japanese, using my imagination always lead me to frustration. Thank you for demystifying your language and inspiring me to try once again to learn and acquire the language.
i was searching for materials to understand passive form and this was one of the best explained video i ever watched, thanks a lot for the effort and detailed explanation, really appreciate it
great class, Misa sensei! it helped me a lot, since this "emotional" aspect of passive voice used in japanese, doesn't really exist in portuguese, my mother language (at least, it's not actually used). anyway, it was really helpful.
This was the first time i really got passive tense. i struggled with textbooks and barely any examples and just no real context of how it's perceived in japan and this was so incredibly helpful thank you so much.
Always TRULY one of the BEST when discussing and breaking down the Japanese language. We can't thank you enough with this comment. More power to you! :) ... and always beautiful to watch and listen to. :)
This video was so helpful! I've been struggling with Passive Forms and this practice and explanation really helped! Please do a video on Causative Forms next!!
This is a really good video. To me this helps explain how / why it's more common in Japanese to omit explicitly stating the subject while telling a story. In English it's typical to keep the same voice and change subjects, whereas it according to this, in Japanese it's more common to keep the subject constant and change to passive voice to express actions done by someone else. Interesting!
Great lesson as always, one day I’ll finish all of your videos but I watch each one a few times and take a lot of notes. I also write down every example, so it takes awhile.
@@shion3948 I'm not sure about the upset part but you're definitely right about the by my/our mistake part. ちゃった is generally used when something bad happens or when you're doing something you know you're not supposed to do (or like teasing someone) so it doesn't have to mean you're upset. please correct me if I'm wrong :D
@@kowalski_yukio I think the upset part they’re getting at is the -られ that comes after 見, since that’s the passive form of 見る. So, what they’re basically asking is this. “Does combining the passive form with ちゃう／じゃう mean that someone is doing something to you that you don’t like while the reason they’re doing it is because of you?” In the person’s example, I think they’re referring to a scenario where someone is creepily watching you and you don’t like it. However, the reason behind them watching you is because of something wrong that you did by accident.
Excellent video as usual! As a suggestion, I think a video on のです/んです would help a lot with one of the more confusing parts of grammar a lot of us have encountered.
Even though my native language is spanish and my english isn't perfect i'm able to understand your videos because your way of explaining is very good. アルゼンチンからご挨拶
Clicked for the concern, stayed for the education.
I hope you are at a intermediate level now by watching her videos.

something i definitely needed, thank you
Are you ok? That just seems a little passive aggressive towards an party involved off screen. Just concerned. Thank you for the lessons!
Cousin is Misa. She's family.
best teaching method as always
i always learning new one
Japanese Ammo with Misa did that happen in real life?
grammar guidebook on the passive form: well, it's confusing and complicated so good luck
みさ先生: *explains it*
Me: よかった！！
me too😄
what about the water was drank by dog

I'm in no way at this level with Japanese but Misa... you are sooooo good at this!!! A natural born teacher!!!! Brava!
You are among one of the best Italian language teachers that I follow on UA-cam!
I am actually focused in the japanese, but when I speak It in a good level I am going to your Channel, I Will learn italian too.
I hope you are at a intermediate level now by watching her videos.
Misa, you are one of, if not the best Japanese teacher on UA-cam. You explain this very thoroughly. Thanks for another great lesson!
I hope you are at a intermediate level now by watching her videos.
Couldn't agree more! Thank you so much!
Been studying Japanese off-and-on for several years and finally, a Japanese teacher who explained this perfectly. Excellent video.
Title got me worried but I was relieved to see that it’s just another fantastic video of yours! 😅✨

I am so thankful for this channel
Thank you for such a easily understandable lesson! I was tortured by passive tease for like 3 days and your video does help a Lott! thank you!
Using capitalized letters is such a good way to visualize rising intonation.
Finally the passive Form !! Thank you sooooo much Misa-Sensei.
This is by far the best video explaining passive on UA-cam. My teacher couldn't get me to understand it, so this helped so much! I get it now! Thank you!
I love your videos so much ❤️ so educational, real situations, cute background, cute person ^^ 💕 keep on making ✌️
15 minutes in and this has explained so much. I've always seen the passive form but never really quiet understood it till now
新しい動画！みさ先生、ありがとう！
Just yesterday I was saying that I needed a new video from you!
Teacher Misa, please consider doing an TED Talk. Your ambitions and lessons are indeed honorable and good.
Thanks!
香港から。ミサさんのレッスンがいつも役だっています。ありがとう❣️
Thanks! This was very helpful.
Misa I was having a lot of problems understanding passive from just my textbook and this video just let me felt like I understood and cleared my doubts about this form. Thanks a lot!
love it! absolutely love the lessons, waiting on the transitive and intransitive verbs. Please do one soon thank you.
This has been the most helpful Japanese lesson I've ever had, to be honest! You are so good at teaching in an easy to understand way!!
Please , more videos likes this ! That's great , your lessons are actually teaching how to flow into japanese language and not be just "gaijin-robot" with book phrases. 本当にやくに立った！みさ先生、ありがとう:)
You are such great teacher. I’m knocked out.
Thanks for another great video, this grammar has been particularly tricky while learning from immersion.
Omg ive asked so many japanese people about how to use the passive and none of them could explain it as well as this. Sooo helpful!!!! ありがとう!!
thank you Misa Sensei. really appreciate the outside the box (and books) examples because of the nuances. well explained. love all your lessons. arigatou gozaimasu!

i keep going back to your videos for review!! Thank you for all the work you do for people like me who can not afford a teacher.
Thank you for making passive form understandable and way simpler to use than I thought!
I really love your videos. This helped me a lot. I really appreciate all the explanations.
Thank you Misa, it's a very difficult thing to understand, but not when it is explained by you.
Your lessons are incredibly helpful. Thank you!
oh god I'm really looking for explaination of passive form. then you created this. thank you so much sensei!!
I hope you are at a intermediate level now by watching her videos.

literally the most informative channel on UA-cam
Nicely explained Thank you dear you are a very good teacher
It makes sense that the common way is to use the speaker’s perspective, since it’s also common to just omit the subject if it’s obvious
i was searching for materials to understand passive form and this was one of the best explained video i ever watched, thanks a lot for the effort and detailed explanation, really appreciate it
you are the best Misa Sensei. Looking forward for more free lessons tutorial with you

thank you for the lesson Misa sensei!!! this was so incredibly helpful.
Another AMAZING LESSON! Thank you, Misa sensei! So glad to be a PATREON :D
I think your examples are getting darker.
I think misa reads too much death note and the promised neverland..
lol
doger944 it’s okay I love that she is a normal human teaching, it is as if she was talking to us(you) in person.
Because the passive form usually means [and I feel bad] most of the examples have to be bad situations
The lessons are getting more mature and so are the examples.
The best explanation !!!!!! Period
もう他の教科書でこの文法を勉強しましたが、色んな面白く例文があるので、この動画も勉強に実用的なものだと思います。

hello, Sensei🖐 l am learning again and decided to rewatch your video tutorials.
thanks for teaching us how to avoid confusing it with potential form! (:

watching this video (and other videos) for the nth time until I remember and master it hahaha. Thank you so much
What if you wanted to say "I'm being watched"? Would the passive form combine with the ～ている form to make the sentence be 「誰かに見られてる」?
Yes! :)
@@JapaneseAmmowithMisa Yayy! I got it right! ありがとうございます、みさ先生！
