Because of your videos, I was able to understand this topic way more than I did before. Thank you!!
You are absolutely right
私も！
ありがとうございました！ For some reason, in my study of Japanese I was never told that が is so formal. I assumed it was the most simple way to say "but", and I have been overusing it. I will switch to けど。
Same as me. Moreover, my father, who was a Japanese native speaker, also said "shikashi" quite often, in daily situations. So I am not very sure about this distinction between formal and informal conversation in Japanese.
@@mauras.5338 because he is old..lol
yep oldies tend to be more formal in conversation
im 1 year late but i think shikashi adds a dramatic effect or suspense on sentence to sound intimidating
Me too!
Very easy to understand. And the best part is you always show what is more commonly used in real life, not just giving out a bunch of words and tell us to memorize. Subscribed!
I subscribed because of this video. I prefer learning daily, conversational Nihongo rather than the stiff, formal ones in textbooks. ありがとうございます、ゆこせんせい！🙂
I am embarrassed to say it took me over 10 years to figure this out. I really wasted a lot of time trying to read books. I really don't know how it didn't enter my mind to come to youtube a long long long time ago. I swear dudes some times I'm so stupid lol. My gosh this was so so so helpful. Perfect. Thank you so much.
I'm glad the lesson was helpful.
Oh WOW, you're good!! I got more in this short 10 min example than I've gotten out of other 1 hour long videos!
While watching some japanese vtubers, I often hear a certain "kedo" sound when they talk. I didn't know what it meant until I saw this lesson.
Thank you for your lessons! They are short but very concise! :D
But sometimes i hear they use "kedo" at the end of a sentence if i'm not mistaken
Do you have any recommendations for Japanese channels? I would like to find a few more for listening comprehension practice.
Is the only one I know, but It might help
@@ryankhalid7909 same bruh
@@FlowUrbanFlow I know it's two months late, and meanwhile vtubers have exploded all over youtube, but I'd recommend Okayu for starting out. Her way of speaking is very mellow, clear, and a bit slow-paced, so ideal for getting used to it. If you feel like having a challenge, try Houshou Marine
Excellent lesson! Exactly what I was searching for! Keep uo the good work!
本当にありがとうゆこ先生！i'm often watching japanese videos and I wasn't sure how they were saying "but", now I know how they do and how to use them !
Very well explained. Thank you, Sensei
Thank you, very helpful - more conjunctions please!!
Thank you so much, sensei 😍😍
Very nice lesson. Clear explanation and your use of graphics really illustrated your points well. Thanks!
Never seen such a clear and simple explanation. Thank you very much!
Short, clear and precise, this is a very good video. Good job!
Thank you, very helpful - more conjunctions please!good japanese lesson
Glad youtube recommended this video to me. Very educational, thank you!
Ahhh I feel more confident in understanding は now... I wasn't expecting that. I stopped learning Japanese for what feels like ages. So coming back to basics is refreshing. I've subscribed!
Wow that's a great explanation. In Chapter 8 of Genki I it teaches using が instead of けど at the end of a main clause for "but" not just for formal writing, but for speaking also.
Great video Sensei. Love how it was so simple and easy to understand.
Amazing lesson and very valuable. Thank you Yuko sensei!
Thank you for the effort yuko sensei💗
very well explained, thank you
These classes are amazing. They are helping me keeping my Japanese skills on!
I loved this video. Great job!
Your explanations are very clear, thankyou!
I liked the video. The material was so simple that just about everyone can follow it, and you highlighted the differences very well. I think I learned about these things a long time ago, but had totally forgotten about ga being used in mainly formal text. A good reminder lesson!
Yuko Sensei can´t thank you enough....have no idea how grateful. Keep up the good work.!!!
ありがとうございますゆこせんせい
Very clear です！
your videos are simply perfect. you explain every concept very clearly and your videos help me lot. thanks for your hard work!
ありがとうございました先生。
Thank you, Yuko sensei, for sending me the lesson to help clarify the use of 'ga'.
So, Japanese don't use the direct object marker を all that much in regular speech? Using は 3 times in a sentence makes me fear confusion.
@@leavewe Well, according to the video, you obviously can, and it's more natural too. The other two は are not used as topic marker, but contrast markers. This is not the first time I've come across something like this, though I tend to forget. Most textbooks don't really teach conversational Japanese
She said to use it in this way when you want to make contrast, not necessarily as a substitute of "wo"
She actually gave good advice if you want to sound like a native Japanese. The style taught in textbooks dont always sound natural and natives will notice it.
@@zeroedout lmao natives will know ur not japanese anyway bc of either how u look or your accent. Like cmon xD
@@amandal.1422 but native speakers will be more than happy if you sound less textbook-like. Most people learn foreign language and yearns to sound like native speaker as smooth as silk, I mean, who doesn't. This teacher gives you the tip. :)
You are the best Japanese teacher I have ever found in UA-cam. Because you are explaining perfectly. Arigato!
Wowww so clear.I can easy to understand this lesson.Thank you so much sensei💕💕💕

Arigatoo gozaimasu, Tim-san. Thank you for taking the time to leave positive feedback. (^^)
Wow, this is legit really helpful. 💜
Very useful and understandable explanation for the use of but and however in Japanese. I was aware of all forms just not when to use them and how exactly. Thanks a lot :)
Bless teachers so hard、ありがとうございます。
ありがとうございます！本当に助けました！

It seems like I found my Japanese teacher. Thank you, Yuko Sensei!

All your videos are very helpful.. ありがとうございます 🙏🏻
This was very interesting. I'm going to sign up for your course. :)
how'd it go my friend
Mam i love your lesson so much, it really helps learning the easy way
Very clear!
Thank you for this video! I've been self teaching myself japanese since quite a while, but a lot of textbooks or online videos teach it in a very very formal way, basically not an everyday use. It makes you sound like a robot talking
ありがとうございます！ゆこ先生
Amazing lesson!
Wow! I am new to Japanese and I am learning it little by little. Thank you very much for teaching me! I appreciate your lessons and I will get in touch to your channel to learn more
are you fluent now?
Thank @youtube for the recomm.! I haven't learned this
I can speak some Japanese, but there were certain parts of it that I was struggling with. You were the one that helped me grab a hold of those parts. ありがとうございます先生、あなたは最高です！
I really like your VDO , Thank you so much
I just followed you btw, ありがとう for your work !
I came to learn about different forms of "but", and ended up learning more about native speech patterns as well! 素晴らしいビデオだったと思いますよ! また教えてくれてありがとうございます~
ありがとうございますゆこ先生。
Very good. Thank you.
awesome lesson
This revolutionised my understanding & memory of Japanese, my mind had gone hazy with regard to a couple particles yet I never knew of this particular alternate use for は. Fascinating, 有難うございます。
どういたしまして。I'm glad the lesson was helpful. 😊
面白かったですよ！先生ありがとう！
フランス人だけど、全ての単語を分かりました。
Fantastic video and explanation.
this is really good.. thank you
Really good topic.
Because of this I now clearly understand how to use these conjunctions. Before, i didn't know demo can only be used at the start of the sentence. I thought it can also be used to join two clauses in a sentence. 先生、ありがとうございます。🤩
ありがとうございます先生。
Very educational
I just give you my subscription.
Thank you Sensei
Best teacher ever
Yuko Sensei, your explanations are so clear and logical! どうもありがとうございます。🌸
Your way of describing it so easy and simple. Like it
Thank you sensia, im greatful

Thank you
日本に留学生なんですが、日本語も英語も勉強しているに役に立つビデオです。

ありがとうございます。
Domo arigato gozaimasu sensei because you already make clear about how to use but and however in japanese language
Very good for Japanese learners.thanks
ありがとう❤️
Thank you sensei, plz teach us difference between きっと, はっきり and 確か.
thank you very much
Thank you for this video ^_^
You took some headache away.
very useful Thanks lot
Perfectamente explicado, me suscribo :)
Nice example
Thank you ma'am. Very useful tutorial even though my english is poor and as to your languages ( which is japanese, of course! ), I am totally a beginner.
Thank you for this lesson! I kept hearing 'すけど' while listening to anime, but of course when I searched it up, it got no hits because the 'す' was actually the 'ます' ending. But now I know!
