Japanese Adjectives ┃ i- & na-Adjectives and Exceptions ┃ + Conjugations in Polite Form
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2021
- In this video we are going to learn the two basic types of adjectives, the i-adjective and the na-adjective, and some exceptions to the rule. We will learn also how to conjugate the Japanese verbs in the polite form.
I-adjectives are called as such because the adjectives under it end with the hiragana い and the rest are na-adjective although some na-adjectives end in Hiragana い also. It will take an effort to memorize which group an adjective is.
One important exception here is the set of adjectives in the te + imasu/iru form. They act as verbs but in English they are translated as adjectives. For example: 怒っている (okotte iru) which means "is angry" is an adjective in English but in Japanese the word is a continuing state of "being angry".
If you need some clarifications please comment down in the comment section. I will be more than happy to teach you.
This is a video intended for students of Japanese language to learn the basics of Japanese grammar and vocabulary. I am a student of the Japanese language who wants to share my knowledge of the basics of the Japanese language.
Thank you so much. It is easy to comprehend. I hope you will post more videos.
Your lesson is highly appreciated.
Arigato gozaimasu Sensei, greetings from America

Thanks it was helpful.
Hi, your videos are very good!
I have a question, I noticed you use "deshita" for the past form but I've seen other people who uses "datta", is datta the informal version of deshita?
そうですか。The conjugations presented in this video are the formal conjugations of the adjectives. だった is the CASUAL past-affirmative conjugation used for な-adjectives and (名詞) Nouns.
So remember, the casual form is only used when talking to closed ones, friends or families.
For example: we use the な-adjective 静か (shizuka) which means quiet.
The formal conjugations of 静か are: 静かです (is quiet), 静かじゃないです (is not quiet), 静かでした (was quiet), and 静かじゃなかったです (was not quiet).
The casual conjugations are quite different.
静かです becomes 静かだ. desu becomes da. They both mean "is quiet".
静かじゃないです, just remove です and it becomes 静かじゃない. From janaidesu to just janai. They both mean "not quiet".
静かでした becomes 静かだった. Change deshita into datta. They both mean was quiet.
Lastly, 静かじゃなかったです becomes 静かじゃなかった. Just remove desu.
Hope this helps. I have not done a video on the casual conjugation I believe.
@@HaroldtheNihongoStudent thank you so much for your detailed answer, it helped me a lot! 🙂
Great video, but I think the background music is too loud.
I was experimenting back then. Thank you for watching!
Sir, Thanks a lot for your nice video. "I am a good student". "I'm not good student" How make these sentences.
For "I am a good student" you can say 「私は良い学生です。」It is straightforward.
Or you can also say まじめな生徒です (majime na seitodesu) I am a serious or diligent student.
Or you can also say 私は学業が得意です (Watashi wa gakugyō ga tokui desu.) I am good at academic studies.
If you want to say "I am not a good student" just say "Watashi ii wa gakusei dewa arimasen."
I'm interested to know what software you use for this video :) for the presentation
I just used PPT maam.
ありがとうございます@@HaroldtheNihongoStudent
Hi I have a question, can I say “Shizuka dewaarimasen”? And if I can why didn’t you include it in the video(7:35), is it because it’s not that polite???
ではありません I believe is mostly used in writing.

I was experimenting back then. 😂
