The Ultimate Guide to Japanese Verbs for Beginners (Let's, Want to, Don't...)

finding jobs or funnies on my mommy's on this hey guys they were going to talk about verbs so this video is for beginners and people who feel like they're Japanese is getting rusty the reason why I'm going to talk about verbs today is because learning verbs learning verb conjugations is really really important in Japanese and personally when I learn a new language I really enjoy learning verbs because a lot of the time that's how you express why your thumb anyway in English verbs do conjugate right so in English you can't change the verb to do like I do he does they did you know but in Japanese we conjugate the verbs more and we don't conjugate the verbs depending on the pronouns so in English or a lot of languages you change the verb depending on the front out so the you say I do but when that's she/he it you say does right in Japanese we don't do that we don't change how the verb conjugates like how better to eat depending on who eat but rather we conjugate the verbs do you make the negation or the past tense and also when we want to sound more formal we have to change the verb as well so for example the sentence I'm learning Japanese when we talk to friends we say nihongo Bank your stead nihongo Bank your stead this better is all of the conjugate it's from the city today so there is a dictionary form and then shifted it is to be doing something so that's the present continuous form and when you want to say I'm learning Japanese formally meaning you talk to someone older or someone you have respect them you have to say nihongo thank your steam us nihongo benkyo steam us so depending on how formal you want to sound the verb changes if you speak a European language it might not be a shocking right because you have different forms for like polite and informal you and verbs conjugate to but in English you don't really do that so you've never been but another language you might be like oh that's weird but you'd get used to it and another thing I want you to remember is that the verb usually comes at the end of the sentence so when you want to for example say I watch TV you'd say today be your meter today be your meet it so meter is the verb to watch so you can see that we put it at the end right today B is the object TV anyone be thinking where's the subject we usually omit the word I so the World War I is what Bashi there are few other ways to say I make it what bet she order okay but yeah generally we use what I see itwhen speaking formally and the girls also use what does she even in the informal speech D anyway we don't really say what does you are today Bo meter we just say today Bo meet it and what I'm going to remember and this video is that we put the verb at the end unless there is a particle so for example you might have heard this phrase Namaskar man this girl which is like what is it you can also say Cordova mam deskah Carrera nan desu ka' to me what is this kore that means this and none comes from the word Manny what and this is the verb to be and I'm car is the question marker or particle so I said that the verbs usually come at the end but you also see these particles kind of helping the verb so this is TV so we put it at the end but then we are like let's make a question so we put the particle or if you want to say it's hot isn't that we say I'd see this in there I - II - and then so we put this and then net so this net acts like isn't that so this is not the one that's right at the end even though it's towards the end and another thing is this means TV right but this is only used when you speak formally so when you speak to your friends you don't really use this word this unless you're joking or you know it's just like sometimes you feel really apologetic you must try to speak more formal to make your friend feel better and you're usually you don't use the word this when you speak informally so in that case we omit this and say I doing that I've seen that and it's kind of sometimes you technically don't see the verb right that's okay like that's like the basic of verbs right and now let's talk about how they actually conjugate so first we have two main types of verbs and in a lot of textbooks they are called do verbs and verbs in my videos I usually call the verbs either other verbs or --red ending verbs and verbs I call them other ending verbs so loose verbs you can can imagine that it's the verbs that have do anything like tie better to eat meter to watch Ned to sleep or kita to get up but the reason why I call them either adverbs rather than just new verbs is because verbs that have a der oder order and things don't conjugate the same way as these either edit verbs so when the textbooks say you do verbs you really are talking about either other verbs so like I do to order and inverse for example tota you can say like total means to take like shashing or taurah means to take a picture and this verb Torah conjugates Mike burps the reason why they'll call them verbs in my videos is because every verb has a at the end so even though reverbs technically also has that sound like a baby you know that's are you but it's still you sound meter again yeah that's how you kinda can see that that's a verb at least in dictionary forms all verbs have a sound at the end so a better to eat is an either verb caca to write using another group so basically there are two groups and they conjugate a bit differently usually either adverbs conjugate very easily usually you just get rid of the last blue and then put something else and yet for examination like pi better to eat becomes table ni poor I don't eat informally so you're just scared of dude and put night which means not so easy right was when you want to conjugate the other type you have to change the last you sound India something else for example if you want to say I don't write you change the Babcock into car carmine carmine so you change applause boot it up and put an I so that like you have to do a bit more for other types and the sad news is that they are more or they're more verbs that have other endings obviously because email you daddy that's not many and their lows more but the good news is conjugating a verb in Japanese it's not hard the only thing you usually have to do is change the bus do sound in D won't ah or sounds because we only have five vowels right that's less than a lot of languages we only have are you way also we change Kaku in the cop car or car key or car ku that's a bit reform but car okay or car cool and add a little bit more and you get you know negation past bends and a lot of things but there are a few exceptions not that many for example there is a verb Qaeda which means to go home and cut it it has an ED ending so you might think oh we just get rid of last blue and put something kind of it unfortunately conjugates like the other pipe so you'd end up changing the last sound made to something and then make a form but there really aren't that many so like if I list come on verbs that have either or a do ending but conjugate like other verbs there for example Chi I do to go home kita to cut either to be needed to be necessary and I shade it to run so you know there are a few more of course but they are the common ones that conjugate like other verbs and they're also ever verbs suru to do and kuru to come so these are the only verb start conjugate and be a little bit weird it's not like oh my gosh why are you doing craziness it's fake it's you drink it once you see the pattern it's not too bad so economists city to be becomes Chennai for I don't day that's the negation suru becomes just she and he put the mine not right I'm not too bad and then he look at its past tense it's that for the informal speech I did stop so again it changes named a sheet and I'm put top which usually means sites in the past tense and the verb to come cooter this one is actually harder than Sidhu CUDA the negation becomes coal 9 ko9 so it's still K sound with something else last night corn I or you want to say come you can say keep their keep their so you know could it becomes ki then you put that which usually means that it's in the request for so usually when I said please do something it's here like blah blah care or blah blah pay could I say to some hormone all right now that we know we have two types of verbs and a few regulars we can actually look at how verbs conjugate so do you remember that I said that we have five vowels ah II oh right let's make up ah first so let's try changing the boo sound into our sound first and see what we get so we had the verb Kaku - right right obviously you should learn hiragana because it doesn't take much time honestly they're thinking I might be email overwhelming at first considering that you really have to learn kanji afterwards and cupper gonna write but you really should learn hiragana as quickly as possible also didn't you think it's kind of cool to be able to write another kind of email for that like when I learned to Russian I only wanted the right things in Cyrillic like Russian methods like I thought it was so cool so you will like once you learned you like Emma like you will have a lot of fun okay so good luck anyway my point was at first it's easy to actually write the verb in romaji like Rama method and then they cut the ending even if you know hiragana just to see how verbs conjugate so Kaka you're writing dramas in it's like K and K you write Kaka and if you change you into any sound ah sound actually car car you can for example add my which I told you that is used in negation right then it's how we say I don't write carmine carmine informally this is no how we say I don't write formally though I will explain that in a bit car car night and I'm human do for example say I didn't write informally we change 19 to not kappa mekappa kana da is how we say I didn't write okay so we can take other verbs and do the same things as long as it doesn't have eat at endings okay so for example to go we say he could he could and again he writing long as it's e right and then you changed the last booth sounding too op sound so yeah E car right so he want to say I then girl actually it can also mean I will not go I forgot to say in Japanese the dictionary form is used in the present tense not like prison convenience test like I'm doing something it's like something that you do regularly like every day every week and also for the future tense so it GU on its own coming I go or I will go and negation ikana II can mean I don't go or I will not girl and again she want to say I didn't girl informally you can say e gamma Kappa Akana top and also once you remember this ikanai part you change the last e into cha like econ like yeah then that means gotta go I have to go so just by changing the last do sound in T up and put the neck down you can already say I have to do something informally so Kaku becomes online for either right right and if you say I have to write you can say on like yeah and I gotta go eat gone like yeah he can like yeah all right what about the verb her NASA to speak harnass it so it's not cool anymore but it should conjugate the same way so again if you are beginner it's always a good idea to write the war down norm as it as well Hamas it H a mas you right and just change the LOS boot into ah so yeah Hamas at right Hamas up so Han na sama it is how we say I then speak or I don't talk or I will talk and her NASA ha ha ha ha NASA mikata means I didn't speak or I didn't talk but I've been saying I didn't but you can also be useful he didn't she didn't they didn't you didn't so the program doesn't really matter ok and if you want to say I have to do speak then you say hi my son Mike yeah Hamas I'm like yeah so that's how we negate the other endings right before votes that have either or ed endings you simply get rid of the last blue and put night so ty better has an error sound right at the end so you say table n 9 for I don't eat I want to eat and table and markup but I didn't eat and the human said oh I have to eat then type in my cow Todd been like yeah so very simple another verb media to watch you say mean I know that means I don't watch I will not watch and here you want to say I have to do watch then mean I ya mean like yeah okay alright now let's see what happens it retains the last sound in to eat sound so this time let's use another verb Carla to buy come so that's the dictionary form so color on its own can mean I buy or I will buy so if you want to say I will buy a game you can just say gamma cut yeah we put the verb at the end right yeah more color so that's very simple but remember that gamble cow sounds informal so it's not very suitable when you speak formally so this changing into e sound actually help you speak more formally so car you should change your last in de thing get cut eat right car II if you put mas at the end like kyyy mas then it means exactly the same thing I buy I will buy but into sales more formal so this form is called mass warm kiemas Camus so this must form is really important because if you speak informally the people who are you not really supposed to speaking formally like you know all the people sent by your boss strangers people think you're rude so it's not good but the great thing about mas form is that once you learn the mass form you can make the negation for the formal speech the past tense for the formal speech past negatives for the formal spaces very easily so damn or color is how he said I by gang informally right you want to say this formally you change the last doing to eat and a pitmaster so again more Chi E mas right and that just means the same but more formal damn or kiemas but you want to say I don't buy a game formally you say game or chymosin game oh come on Sam so khaimah PHA is the same and simply change the last sip into Sam kind ma Sam okay and he want to say I bought a game formally you say Chi mushed up kind my stop game more kind my stuff I bought again past pants formal okay and I didn't buy a game come my son Nesta chymosin desta so that's like the combination of chymosin I don't buy formally plus kind my stuff I bought for me write this this that is attached to nouns often and it means like was like I was a student then you wanna say Cox and they stopped anyway chymosin bish that I didn't buy so learning this must for me is quite important for beginners but yang rumbled up we don't use this must warm when you speak to your friends your friends who think that you're kind of cold like why is speaking so formally all of a sudden it's like are we not friends you know it's like don't call me sir I'm just your mate and I'm the other thing we can do with this into e sound is if you put ie instead of mas you can say I want t do something so car it becomes car e and a huge put by like chi by that I mean I won't do it by so Chi I want to buy it so let's try conjugating e 2 again so if you want to say to go iike formally then what do you have to be you change lost in t e so it could becomes a key and then you put mas e key mass so I will go to Japan for example you can say me horny Akim us me horny Chema's so neon means Japan neat means T me horny to Japan Akim us I will go so me horny Iike means the same but more formal and yannis kemeras means I will go to Japan again but more formal right in the USA I will not go to Japan then he saying horny akima Sam akima Sam so that's how you say not girl formerly do you remember how we say not to go informally you change the last boot into AA and put my so eager my is how we say I don't go informally and Hakeem my Sam is how we say I don't go formally II got my Iggy ma Sam so they sound quite different so you might be like oh so much to run Bubba on estate once you get used to it it's really not hard so don't worry and again hue change must into tight so basically we used to must warms them and you put I then you can get it keep thigh right which means I want to go eat keep dying so if you want say I want to go to Japan then you say me horn me itchy thigh me horny icky thigh and for either ending verbs you simply change the last bit into mass or PI easy so easy so far better to eat becomes table air mass so for example peace out Thai better it's how we say I will leave pizza in for me and you want to say this formally you simply say peas are all table air mass peas all table air mass and you want to say I want to eat then instead of must you put tight so you say Popeye Popeye you might often hear people say caught it bothered by I want to eat this you boy cut above it thigh so that's aa and E and that's the picturing form so we don't really have to look at it that's the guy yeah yeah this can be interesting cuz this is how you can kind of swear in the way not really swearing but you can sound rude so if you change the last and that's an imperative form so if you change beaker into ek then that's like go but that's a harsh way to say go like you want this out more you know nice you're gonna sound softer you say eat eat that I mean girl oh go please eat that so we use this form called their form while teaching who lost you in death then you just sound rude yeah go but you'd hear this in you know an email games I mean real life ste like friends do you think Hritik form kind of to jerk around thanks they might say yeah like just go I think peace your particle I've min to listen so I won't talk about this here yeah you might hear like yeah like just go and they do sound harsher done it but it is used like I really really really don't like this word but a lot of people have heard this in ninety man and I hope you want to use this to anyone like anyone cuz I hate it so much it's so good it's worse than the f-word in my opinion anyway Sheena is to die alright if you change the last you into it you get scheanette and that means die and that's really really harsh so please don't say it you say it to someone then it's like you want a fight really shouldn't say it lightly okay although he played over watching Japanese that's what Reaper says like you know repossess die die die in English right in Japanese he says to mention in there as well and you hear this word a lot in any man now you know where it comes from this but police don't use it okay it's not just it's rude but it just makes you sound so I don't know pathetic like it's so childish like if you wanted somebody's feeling you can say smoker Thanks right that's just like solo well either anything bubs you change the last bit in ta-dah SOTA better becomes Tibet oh come and eat and that's a harsh way to say it it's not a nice way right maybe you want to sound nice and just say ich you think Tibet bet I bet that we used a theft form this typhoon is so important by the way I've made lessons on all these forms already so please watch the individual lessons for more details but I will also revamped all the old videos because I understand that calleth it was not great so I am working on there so please look for tea it now let's the cat oh so we will move you down are you not bad right and then oh let's use the verb I saw but which means to play out to hang out usually should be translates to hang out because to play like a video game we usually don't really use this verb we usually use the verb like yeah dude kitty Oh Priscilla they play so I saw but you changed the last booth in Dior then you get a sohbat right I saw Bob and if you add extra so you change the last into oh and I put it I saw ball then it means let's hang out I saw ball okay so at the end but it isn't something like alright I'm not pronouncing it like a Cibola hey it sounds more like or sound are so bought the reason why is when there is all sound like stick boo sounds so you see all or or then you should prance a like or or nobody would say anything like if you say I saw what people are doing correct you get Japanese people like generally native speakers don't correct foreigners unless you know they're teaching so people would still understand me like you say so but people might be like mmm your pronunciation it's not great but I won't correct you you want to sound natural so France it like I saw bore I saw more so that's how you can say that tongue out so you wanna say let's hang out again you can say my fat ass or ball my butt I saw ball boys you wanna say let's go then you change the last of eco ain't it Oh and so Igor Igor and that means let's go eat caught actually you don't have to say it cool but you can say echo and that's another way to say let's go that's just more informal so you said the vassal block you can also say as a ball so you know but when you write generally people write the last as well and for you an ending verbs you have to change the last to do it in do you're you're you're okay so Tibet it becomes time bear your time bear your so let's eat so let's grab lunch let's eat lunch we say you know Gohan Bombay or you don't go hon Bob a your let's watch meet it becomes your meal and once you get used to these changing us into are you there or no I or then you can make so many more different forms so now you know that learning verbs and learning how they conjugate are so important right so I hope this video helped you and like I said earlier I will remake all the old videos and so the cookie is better and you know it's more watchable but you can't wait please watch my old and I've explained the verbs more extensively so yeah
