And notice how よ often follows an んだ explanation. That's because よ as a sentence ender highlights that there was something in the sentence the listener didn''t yet know/wasn't aware of/didn't consider. Be it a fact, advice, a warning or other things.
"Sono tame ni, omae ga, yami no senshi to naru NO DA" from the FFXIV Shadowbringers trailer, the NO DA makes a lot of sense now, since G'raha was in fact talking in an explanatory way! Keep your videos, this is great!
Hi Matt! Thank you for this great series. Your explanations have been very helpful and a good addition to my Japanese studies. I was also using the digital version of Genki which has the workbook exercises - so it was a perfect symbiosis :D Are you going to do a Genki 2 series? I would love to see that. Lots of love from Germany.
You're my favorit channel to learn japanese matt I just wish you get a special one on "tte" this one is mostly confusing. Also "TO" in situation others than "with & if" this one also I might like some deep on them. Thanks!
Hi Matt. Ive been wondering for many many months about something you always say in your explanations thats related to this, and, ive always felt you were making a very small mistake. But, maybe I'm wrong (definitely feel free to let me know if so). Its related directly to this vid so i figured id go ahead and shoot a comment your way: In the vocab vids i feel like youve almost always explained の at the end of a question sentence as being something like a "feminine" way to ask a question. But, actually i think it is kind of opposite of that and is more like you are saying you really want an explanation (basically it is the の from んだ or the so called "explanatory particle", so its like "please answer and maybe even explain! Im really curious!" Etc). Thoughts?
Hi there! Great question! の has many, many different uses. Over 6 different uses. のだ is used for explanatory feel (行きたいのだ - I want to go! (explaining)) の can also be used by itself at the end of a sentence as a soft question (gender neutral) (どこ行くの？ - Where are you going?) The の that I refer to in the vocab series is used as a feminine emotional sentence ender (行きたいの - I want to go! (fem. emotional)) Absolutely not a mistake, just one of many different uses of using の in Japanese! :)
@@GameGengo Thank you very much for your answer! This was exactly what i was wondering about (the soft question ender). To me before i heard you say this several times i never thought of it as being 'soft' in any way but i will definitely keep looking into it more and keep your reply in mind！ I had seen that question form of の Referred to in the same way as the の From this video as having the feel of really wanting an explanation so I thought it was actually a tiny bit More forceful than without it. Anyways, thanks again, love all your videos and keep up the great work!
@@Wubb4Lubb4 Also keep in mind that the feminine の is a shortening of the ending particle もの, which is similar in function to よ--but is specifically intended to be used by women to foster a certain cute yet refined personality. So try substituting もの for の, and if it works, it might be that you're using feminine language.
Hello マットサン. Is it possible to get the lowest patreon tier and upgrade to executive maybe, like a month later? Cant wait to join the discord and get a BTS look on everything!
Hey there Zermillion! You sure can! You can upgrade at any time, both on Patreon or through the Game Gengo website. Thanks so much for enjoying the channel! I really appreciate the support and hope you're enjoying learning Japanese!! :)
@@GameGengo I saw your “how to learn Japanese with games” video on 10th of September and got me so motivated so I immediately started my journey the day after. Learned Hiragana the first day, Katakana the day after that and then just started binge-watching all of your videos. As I am typing this, I am halfway through episode 7 of the vocab series🫡😁
Oh WOW!! Making huuuuge progress even in your first couple of weeks!! That's very very impressive! I hope the vocab series is giving you a good way to access the whole language and not be too overwhelming! I think the latest episodes are really great in quality!
Does anyone know where I can read manga like Dragon Ball etc. Fully In Japanese for free? Thought it would be a nice way of some extra immersion, especially because DB for example has furigana. Thanks in advance!
A explanation about explaining things a very meta lesson.
And notice how よ often follows an んだ explanation. That's because よ as a sentence ender highlights that there was something in the sentence the listener didn''t yet know/wasn't aware of/didn't consider. Be it a fact, advice, a warning or other things.
100%! The よ video is coming btw ;) should be a few weeks hehe
"I want to go" vs "It's that I want to go!" Good description. My Japanese tutor was having a hard time making it so concise.
This channel and ToKini andy are single handedly teaching me Genki n5
Best explanation and example sentences I have seen. Thanks
maybe the best explanation because its coming from a native english speaker. thank you

Keep your videos, this is great!
this was the best explanation of this piece of language, thank you very much
2:17 that poor thing😥
learned this in class a few weeks ago but this helped to clear it up more for when to use it :) thank you!!

Thanks!
Reminds me a lot of the use of “よ” kinda like ですよ
ありがとう! Great video!
Thanks so much for your videos! I'm not great with textbooks and your explanations are a lifesaver
Great content, nice easy explanations with examples.
Good Lesson 😀
Thanks for enjoying the video!
I really love this channel
2:17 that was sad :(

Good explanations
oh, now it makes more sense to me... Thank you!

Thanks for the tip!@@kuroitsukida
best video
Does this also apply to "Nande" ? Can you also use "Nanda"?
What is the difference to an explanation with から at the end of a sentence?

damn i just finished this game
Hello, thank for the video.
Are んだ and のだ also used in an answer to a question なぜ ... ?
👍👏
このビデオでよくやったんだ
👍👍👍👍

I just realised this is the japanese equivalent of "know what im saying"
That's probably one of the most annoying grammar points. Its so hard to know what n means everytime.
aerith what are you doing here
