https://youtube.com/shorts/ZXHgKYenDTI Real mistake in Japanese Actually, many people make mistakes in this grammar. Can you use it correctly? There is an error in the following sentence. Can you find it? 「せんせい！この問題もんだい、むずかしすぎるです。」 "です" is added to make the polite form of the word "～すぎる".But this usage is actually incorrect. The polite form of "～すぎる" is "～すぎます" ★Grammar Point★"～すぎる"is a Verb. It conjugates like other verbs. What does it mean? For example, what is the polite form of the verb "たべる"?The correct answer is "たべます". Then, what is the polite form of "できる"?The correct answer is "できます".It is not "できるです". Like this,The polite form of "すぎる" is "すぎます". ★Grammar Point★The polite form of 【～すぎる】is 【～すぎます】. *However, there are also cases where 【～すぎです/non-past】 is used (”る” is dropped). This is also OK, but Japanese do not often use the past tense 【～すぎでした/past】. As a result, the correct sentese of the above statement is, 「せんせい！この問題もんだい、むずかしすぎます/むずかしすぎです。」 . Quiz on how to use 【～すぎる】 Quiz. Form the words in parentheses correctly. Eg)　この料理は（　からい＋すぎる　）。【丁寧形/polite】＋【非過去/non-past】Answer　→この料理は（　からすぎます/からすぎです　）。This dish is too spicy. ①今日、そとの気温きおんは（　さむい＋すぎる　）。【丁寧形/polite】＋【非過去/non-past】 ②昨日、そとの気温きおんは（　あつい＋すぎる　）。【丁寧形/polite】＋【過去/past】 ③かれは　（　はたらく＋すぎる　）。【丁寧形/polite】＋【非過去/non-past】 ④かれは昨日、（　うんどうする＋すぎる　）ので、つかれています。【丁寧形/polite】＋【過去/past】 The correct answer is… ①今日、そとの気温は（　さむすぎます/さむすぎです　）。/Today's outside temperature is too cold.　※いadjective＋すぎる→〇〇い＋すぎる ②昨日、そとの気温は（　あつすぎました　）。/Yesterday, the outside temperature was too cold.　※The past tense of "ます" is "ました".　　There is another way of saying "あつすぎでした" but it is not used very often. ③かれは　（　はたらきすぎます/はたらきすぎです　）。/He works too much.　※Verb＋すぎる→ますform of Verb＋すぎる→〇〇ます＋すぎる ④かれは昨日、（　うんどうしすぎた　）ので、つかれています。/He is tired because he worked too much yesterday.　※When connecting with a conjunction after 【すぎる】, connect in the plain form.　　✕Polite form【すぎました】＋ので/から/けど…　　〇Plain form【すぎた】＋ので/から/けど… It is a grammar that is easy to make mistakes, but Japanese people use it frequently!

Many Japanese learners make the mistake of using 【ぜひ】. Are you OK? https://youtu.be/NzEauF0xwpY?si=recTtk-6ZcDt6cKB Real Mistake in Japanese Learners QUIZ１：Which is correct? 1.（　　）、来年は　日本へ来てくださいね。　　a.さあ　　b.ぜひ 2. 私はパーティーがきらいです。（　　）行きたくないです。　　a.ぜったい　　b.ぜひ 3. A「これは私が作ったおにぎりです。食べますか？」　B「おいしそうですね！（　　）食べます！」　　a.ぜひ　　b.もちろん QUIZ１：Answer 1.　ぜひ、来年は　日本へ来てくださいね。　　Definitely please come to Japan in the next year.2. 私はパーティーがきらいです。ぜったい行きたくないです。　　I never want to join a party because I don't like it.3. A「これは私が作ったおにぎりです。食べますか？」　B「おいしそうですね！もちろん食べます！」　　A"Why don't you eat the onigiri I made?"　　B”It looks good. Of course, I'll eat it!” Do you know how to use "ぜひ" correctly? How was the quiz? Did you know these differences? Please don't feel nervous if you are not able to answer correctly. Let's review how to use "ぜひ"! The Rules of "ぜひ" The most important thing is not the meaning, but how to connect with verbs.So, I want to explain about it more clearly from now! "ぜひ" is not connected with "ます form" Some Japanese learners might make the mistake that "ぜひ～ます” use together. Of course, "ぜひ" means "certainly", "definitely", but you can't use "ぜひ～ます" to only emphasize your feeling. The point is that "ぜひ" emphasizes your desire or request. Let's look at the sentences! ”ぜひ～てください” and "ぜひ～たい"…request and desire Let me show you these sentences. ①ぜひ、来年は　日本へ来てくださいね。ーDefinitely please come to Japan in the next year. ②来月の結婚式に、ぜひ参加したいです。ーI really want to join your wedding party in the next month. In Japanese language, ①"Vてください" means "your request to others". Also, ②”Vたい” means "your desire". On the other hand, if you would use "ぜひ" and "ます" together... ①*ぜひ、来年は　日本へ来ますね。？ーDefinitely you come to Japan in the next year. ? ②*来月の結婚式に、ぜひ参加します。？ーI really join your wedding party in the next month. ? You know, even if you make sentences in English like ①* and ②*, they don't make sense, right? In short, "～ます" doesn't express the meaning of "your request" and "your desire". The reason why you can't use "ぜひ" and "ます" together. QUIZ２：Review 1. 明日、（　　）ミーティングに参加します。　　a.かならず　b.ぜひ 2.明日（　　）お祭り（おまつり）に参加したいです。　　a.たぶん　b.ぜひ 3（　　）日本へ旅行に行くかもしれません。　　a.ぜひ　　b.たぶん 4.（　　）一緒に日本へ行きましょう！　　a.ぜひ　b.たぶん 5.姉は私の友だちに「（　　）私の家に遊びに来てくださいね。」と言った。　　a.ぜひ　b.とても QUIZ２：Answer 1. 明日、かならずミーティングに参加します。　ーI will definitely attend the meeting tomorrow.　　a.かならず　b.ぜひ　　★Point★　✕”ぜひ～ます” 2.明日、ぜひお祭り（おまつり）に参加したいです。　ーI would love to attend the festival tomorrow.　　a.たぶん　b.ぜひ 3.たぶん日本へ旅行に行くかもしれません。　ーI might travel to Japan.　　a.ぜひ　　b.たぶん★Point★　"たぶん～かもしれない" means "perhaps". 4.ぜひ一緒に日本へ行きましょう！　ーLet's go to Japan together!　　a.ぜひ　b.たぶん★Point★ "～ましょう" means "let's ～". In Japanese language, "～ましょう" express "you suggest/request doing something with someone". So you can use "ぜひ～ましょう" together as well. 5.姉は私の友だちに「ぜひ私の家に遊びに来てくださいね。」と言った。　ーMy sister said to my friend, "Come and visit my house".　　a.ぜひ　b.とても For those who would like to learn more Japanese We at Ohanasi Kagawa are also organizing two events for those who would like to learn more Japanese. 【Free Japanese Lesson & Consultation with Native Japanese Teacher】 First, you can take a free Japanese lesson!Your Japanese teacher will listen to your concerns and situation and give you a private lesson suited to you.For more information, please click this banner for details.

Does "きれいひと" mean "a beautiful person"?? Tell you the truth, this sentence is incorrect! https://youtu.be/319Qk0a9qcg?si=x665A-w-fE-87ODv なadjective? いadjective? To Get Straight to the point, "Beautiful" is Na-adjective In Japanese, there are two types of adjectives: i-adjectives and na-adjectives.Do you know the difference between them?Let's take a quiz. Quiz: I-adjective? Na-adjective? The following underlined words are [I-adjectives]?[Na-adjective]? Q1：私は、しずかな場所がすきです。/I like quiet places.Q2：かわいいネコが公園にいます。/Cute cats are in the park.Q3：これは、私のたいせつな本です。/This is my favorite book.Q4：彼はまじめな人です。/He is a serious person. Point: Is the noun preceded by い？な？ Check your answers! Q1：私は、しずかな場所がすきです。＝＞Na-adjeciveQ2：かわいいネコが公園にいます。　＝＞I-adjecive　　✕かわいいなネコQ3：これはおいしいケーキです。　　＝＞I-adjecive　　✕おいしいなケーキQ4：彼はまじめな人です。　　　　　＝＞Na-adjecive ★Grammar Point★Adjective＋Noun～い＋Noun＝I-adjective～な＋Noun＝Na-adjective Is [きれい] I-adjective?Na-adjective? Actually, it is easy to make a mistake, but [きれい] is Na-adjective.So when you connect it with a noun, you get "きれいな" + noun.Therefore, [きれいひと] is wrong. [きれいなひと] is correct. The other way to distinguish [I-adjectives] from [Na-adjectives] is to check the negative form. ★Grammar Point★Negative form of [I-adjective]＝＞～くないNegative form of [Na-adjective]＝＞～じゃない Adjective Quiz The following underlined words are [I-adjectives]?[Na-adjective]? Q1：弟はまじめじゃないです。/My brother is not hard-working person.Q2：この部屋はきたなくない。/This room is not dirty.Q3：私のふるさとはうるさくないです。/My hometown is not loud.Q4：あの人はぜんぜんハンサムじゃない！/He's not handsome at all. 答えは…？ Q1：弟はまじめじゃないです。　　　　　＝＞Na-adjeciveQ2：この部屋はきたなくない。　　　　　＝＞I-adjeciveQ3：私のふるさとはうるさくないです。　＝＞I-adjeciveQ4：あの人はぜんぜんハンサムじゃない！＝＞Na-adjecive These differences are very important if you want to speak Japanese-like!Please remember them.
