This is the best explanation I've come across in my 2 years of learning Japanese at University, language schools and online courses. I am very glad to have found your channel. I hope you make more advanced courses in the future as you explain things so well and it is very easy to understand.
wow! Yuko Sensei makes Japanese learning easy. I watched quite a few Japanese people teaching on UA-cam but so far Yuko Sensei is the best Japanese Teacher I have found on UA-cam.
I’m sooo happy I finally understood about imasu and arimasu! Like, when you tested us by asking us to try to make the sentence with the cat at hour home and I got it right, I felt super happy and felt like this is a huge step forward. You are definitely a great teacher and you have all my respect!
I just watched your lesson cause I'm free, and your teaching skill is so nice that I have watched 4 videos and it's so easy to understand even though I have not even familiar with anything about Japanese language
Many thanks for your expression and explanation also. Your teaching is very helpful for me I will appear N5 December. 2021 You are very soft spoken and acquire the quality of a teacher also.
Another great lesson. I did know about using が in this case, but I didn't know why I had to use it. Sometimes it's very helpful to know why we have to do something . I was also surprised that this whole lesson went by without mentioning the dictionary version of these verbs. I thought that was very interesting.
Currently taking my beginner classes of Japanese this year and sadly it's fully online so I feel as though the teaching isn't as strong, not from any fault of my teacher. But trying to learn from the Genki book is a little tough for me. I'm happy to of found this video and channel as the way Yuko Sensei explained it made everything click! I wish good luck to everyone learning Japanese! ありがとございます！
I have placed the lessons related to GENKI content in this Playlist. Hope you find them helpful. smilenihongo.com/GENKI Good luck with the Japanese class for this term/semester! がんばってください。😊
I like how you explain, really soft and easy to catch up, I'm wonder if i follow your class, it is possible because my work time is uncertain. Example, in this lesson i have to spent a whole day to finish this video because i kept pause the video,. Sad for me
liana-san, I'm glad you enjoyed the lesson. My courses are all self-paced and there is no time limit to complete each course. So you can learn at your own pace. Looking forward to having you as my student sometime in the future. 😊
ありがとう！！！私は日本語を勉強します、でも難しすぎだよ＞’＜！Especially when it comes to the grammar. Your explanation helps so much!!! Answers- いええ、ありません。 はい、います。 いいえ、いません。でも、欲しいですね。
Dear Yuko Sensei, that was a great help, thank you! I would still have 2 questions. Which one should we use if we wanted to include an object and a living thing in one sentence? Eg. I have a printer and a cat at home. Would it be imasu or arimasu? The other question is this expression: "I'm not English" is "Igirisu-jin dewa arimasen." Why is it not imasen? Thank you in advance! :)
If my pet just died, what do I use since it was living and moving a while ago but not anymore, in such a situation, which should I use? I think imasu should be used as the cat used to be living just a while ago, and even if it were dead for a long time, it meant a lot to me (the owner) so I'll use imasu but if I didn't like it that much I'd use arimasu right? Or am I wrong completely?
It totally depends on how the speaker (you) want to describe it. If she (your pet) just passed away a few hours ago and still laying in her basket, you can use います because you loved her so much and want to perceive that her spirit is still there. On the other hand, other people may perceive it as "her deceased body" is there and may use あります. If you made a grave for her under a tree in your backyard, you would still say "she is there under the tree" by using います even years after she passed away. So, it largely depends on how the speaker feels for the subject of existence like the example of a teddy bear I used in the lesson. Hope this helps!
@@YukoSensei So can I use "arimasu" to let other people know that someone died without specifically saying that this person died, because I have a mental breakdown whenever I do so? Well, but then ... if I were to use arimasu for a person, japanese people would probably correct me and then I still would have to explain (somehow) that this person died - and it would still lead to me having a mental breakdown.
Thank you for this lesson, so useful, so clear, with emphasis on the particles...👍🙏! うちにピアノがありません。ねこがいません。にほんにともだちがいません。でもうちにプリンターがあります。😂 どもありがとうございます。
At the very end you used the "wa" particle instead of "ga" for having a dog. (いいえ、いません。でも、いぬはいます。) Is there some reason it changes because of the context?
Yes, the particle は in this context is used as a Contrast Marker. When two things are in contrast, we tend to mark them with は. In the response, I said "No" to cats but "Yes" to dogs. So, cats and dogs are in contrast in the context. The complete response would be いいえ、ねこはいません。でも、いぬはいます and I dropped the ねこは part because it's understood in this context and it sounds more natural without it as a response. I hope this helps!
@@YukoSensei Good day Yuko Sensei! Im just starting to learn japanese. I just want to ask something I hope you will answer. Petto ga imasu - I have a pet. Petto ga imasen - I don't have a pet. Petto ga imasu ka? - Do you have a pet? Petto ga imasen ka? - Don't you have a pet? But how do I say "I had a pet" And "I haven't had a pet" Do imasu and arimasu have a past form? Thank you so much!
Gattoさん、パーフェクトです！よくできました。😊 The 3rd sentence is perfect too. You can also add the particle は after に and go like this too. でも、イタリアにはいます。This way it emphasizes the contrast that "NO" in Japan but "YES" in Italy. Hope this helps!
So what is the difference between "tookyoo ni jinja ga arimasu" and "jinja wa tookyoo ni arimasu"? Another thing, as i understand i can also say "jinja ga tookyoo ni arimasu" and it is the same as "tookyoo ni jinja ga arimasu"?
いえ、ピアノがありません 。 いえ、ねこがいません。でも犬がいます。すごくかわいい！ ええ、日本に友達がいます。親切な人です。 Thank you for this lesson! I have an exam on Wednesday, so this really helped me. ^____^/
@@po-pil-sky9862 my japanese textbook shows both ways. I know いえ means house, but yea, my textbook shows いいえ and いえ as 'no'...and in my Japanese class we use いえ but I'll start using いいえ, thank you!
Hi, I liked a lot your lesson. You explained me questions that in other places I didn't find them. Just one more question about the use of this topic, What's the difference between these two sentences? I men in the common usage: こうえんにとりがいます / とりはこうえんにいます Thanks a lot.
Hi Mam I have to ask one thing as you teaching in video to have something like ( I have a Cat - Watashi wa Neko ga imasu ) but I have seen somewhere was written Watashi wa neko wo katte imasu Can you please explain this?
“ Watashi wa neko wo katte imasu “ This imasu does NOT mean “exist” that explained in this video. It’s TE form of the verb + imasu “Katte imasu 飼っています“ Plain form of “Katte飼って” is “Kau（飼う）” it means ....keep, feed, have ,rear, raise animal in English. I’m sorry, I was not able to explain well.🙇♀️🙏

At the very end you used the "wa" particle instead of "ga" for having a dog.
(いいえ、いません。でも、いぬはいます。)
Is there some reason it changes because of the context?
Yes, the particle は in this context is used as a Contrast Marker. When two things are in contrast, we tend to mark them with は. In the response, I said "No" to cats but "Yes" to dogs. So, cats and dogs are in contrast in the context. The complete response would be いいえ、ねこはいません。でも、いぬはいます and I dropped the ねこは part because it's understood in this context and it sounds more natural without it as a response. I hope this helps!
@@YukoSensei Good day Yuko Sensei! Im just starting to learn japanese. I just want to ask something I hope you will answer.
Petto ga imasu - I have a pet.
Petto ga imasen - I don't have a pet.
Petto ga imasu ka? - Do you have a pet?
Petto ga imasen ka? - Don't you have a pet?
But how do I say "I had a pet" And "I haven't had a pet" Do imasu and arimasu have a past form? Thank you so much!
@Alex S Thanks for your reply! I really appreciated it. I just want to ask how long have you been studying japanese?
Great lesson, thank you Yuko先生！
いいえ、ありません。でも、ギターはあります。
いいえ、いません。
いいえ、いません。でも、イタリアにいます。

The 3rd sentence is perfect too. You can also add the particle は after に and go like this too. でも、イタリアにはいます。This way it emphasizes the contrast that "NO" in Japan but "YES" in Italy. Hope this helps!

as for the questions:
いいえ、ありません。
いいえ、いません。でも、鳥はいます。
いいえ、友達がいません。
よくできました。For the third question, it sounds more natural as a response if you drop 友達が.
がんばってください。😊
what is the casual form of あります and います, is it ある and いる？
sensie konnichuwa.. domo arigato.
So what is the difference between "tookyoo ni jinja ga arimasu" and "jinja wa tookyoo ni arimasu"? Another thing, as i understand i can also say "jinja ga tookyoo ni arimasu" and it is the same as "tookyoo ni jinja ga arimasu"?

Hi Mam
I have to ask one thing as you teaching in video to have something like ( I have a Cat - Watashi wa Neko ga imasu ) but I have seen somewhere was written Watashi wa neko wo katte imasu
Can you please explain this?
*That guy was wearing a cat*
“ Watashi wa neko wo katte imasu “
This imasu does NOT mean “exist” that explained in this video.
It’s TE form of the verb + imasu
“Katte imasu 飼っています“
Plain form of “Katte飼って” is “Kau（飼う）” it means ....keep, feed, have ,rear, raise animal in English.
I’m sorry, I was not able to explain well.🙇♀️🙏
Since some phrases can be changed can u also say for example neko ga uchi ni imasuka ? Or do i have to say uchi ni neko ga imasuka
2:20. The sweet ignorance we all had last feb
Hmmm. When I want to ask: isn't there any car here do I say : koko ni kuruma wa arimasenka? Or koko ni kuruma wa arimasuka?
Very disappointed that there weren't more photos of Yuko-san's cat! Or video!
What is the difference between the particle "he/e" and the particle "ni" in terms of destination marker please?
ありがとうございます
