Learn Japanese from Yoda
Read more! www.tofugu.com If you’ve taken a Japanese class from me, no doubt you’ve heard me go over this, minus the attempt to imitate the little green man. Surprisingly, Yoda uses Japanese grammar when he’s speaking, which makes him a great jumping off point when learning Japanese. In this video I start you off with Japanese grammar and how it works, as related to Yoda. Good times.
lol, in Japan middle school boys follow me like, “THIS IS A PEN! THIS IS A PEN!”
but you can say “kore wa pen” instead of “pen kore wa?”
arigatou gozaimasu
I sense nerd force intruder’s there will be hum..
@thepanther17fan that’s not a complete sentance. kore wa pen is like saying “this pen…” people will be thinking in response “That pen what?” or “”what about the pen?”
@skj91 oh. O.O
likeS playing mad libs… did u do that on purpose??
like 2 hours talking and theres no Yoda-sensei…go to the &%$@!
oh..and nice new hair cut
Thats a sharpie though.
Watu ze fakku? =)) (spell it out in katakana and you’ll understand)
Lol, anyway…. Kore wa pen desu. lol. Muzukashii dewaarimasen.
@skj91 As far as I know, “desu” is simply used for politeness, and is not necessary. It’s like “arimasu”, which means it “exists” in a certain location. You can simply say “Aru”, but it’s not polite ^_^
Its best to study with a language partner & have a goal like the JLPT. You need structure. Great video.
Haha. Smart.
@AndyRaslan: Here are they, you mixed up ‘aru’ and ‘de aru’:
da / de aru – de wa nai
datta / de atta – de wa nakatta
desu – de wa arimasen / de wa nai desu
deshita – de wa arimasendeshita / de wa nakatta desu
You can replace ‘de wa’ with ‘ja’ too.
And don’t forget, ‘aru’ is for “dead things” while ‘iru’ is for “the living”.
That’s not just a pen – That’s a SHARPIE!
…and a pink one at that!!!
@Xeferah Thank you ^_^
Your videos are so dang helpful! Thank you so much!
I always thought Yoda spoke German.
But if George Lucas says it’s using Japanese syntax then I’ll believe him.
