Japanisch lernen für Anfänger Crashkurs Teil 1 | Einfach Japanisch lernen - Playlist für Fortsetzung

Hello and welcome welcome to Simply Japanese.

Today we have a crash course for the Japanese language, in which I explain how Japanese works in the first place.

If you have no experience in the Japanese language, this is the right place for you.

Are you also interested in topics around Japan or the Japanese language, you can also leave me leave me a subscription or follow me on Instagram, so you don't miss anything. Let's go!

Ohayou Konnichiwa Konbanwa.

Good morning. Good day. Good evening.

No conversation without a greeting.

Yeah, not really either, but I think it's important, times at least to have said hello..,

At all to initiate a conversation.

konnichiwa, hajimemashite. watashi wa kato desu.

That would be such a standard conversation, that you learn at the very beginning in the Japanese course.

And that's how I'm going to do it here.

Most conversations start with a greeting.

In this case, konnichiwa, Konnichiwa. Good day.

There are also, as mentioned earlier, other variants like Ohayou.

Good morning or Konbanwa, good evening.

Hajimemashite, is a standard phrase, which means: I am glad to meet you or to get to know you.

This is said very, very often at a first meeting.

It is important to say in as nice a Voice to say "hajimemashite", because as we all know, the first 30 seconds actually decides everything.

So repeat after me, when I then said "hajimemashite".

Hajimemashite. Hajimemashite.

Hajimemashite.

And so on. But if possible not in this ultra high typical anime character tone like, "Hajimemashiteee".

This doesn't make a good impression.

This is followed by the presentation of the name.

In earlier textbooks often said something like "watashi no namae wa XXX desu".

Literally translated, it means: My name is XXX.

Sounds all well and good, but this is said in practice rather rarely.

For example, if you also learn the German language as a foreign language, you learn in the very first lesson something like Guten Tag!

Pleased to meet you.

My name is Kato.

Nice, but in practice it is then "hi, am Kato. You? Cool."

So I want to try here too, rather the more practical sentences and terms. So, now let's move on to the next sentence: The first word "watashi" stands for I and Kato is the name Kato.

And at the end is the desu, which is the verb, and means to be, so in this context, am.

The verb in the Japanese language always at the end.

The character between watashi and Kato is HA.

But read WA here.

In German, it is written w a like this.

But that is WA (soft W).

Anyway, this WA has a special function and is also a peculiarity of the Japanese language.

It belongs to the category of particles.

This WA comes after a word and gives indicates that this word is the main subject of this sentence.

Comparable to a German language it would be something like "concerning"- Besides the WA there are other particles and the particles are a rather complicated subject.

But to that comes another video later.

Anyway, you should now just take it like that and not ask what that is exactly. "Is so." Period.

A wa B desu. This Basic structure is quite important.

That means then A is B.

You can then insert many terms and test them, like for example.

Geemu wa tanoshii desu.

Geemu wa tanoshii desu.

Gangs are fun. puzrezzel wa tabemono desu.

The pretzel is a food.

biiru wa nomimono desu.

Beer is a beverage. And so on.

Do you want to ask a question ask a question, you take this sentence structure A is B and put behind it the question particle KA.

So with the previously mentioned examples it looks like this.

geemu wa tanoshii desu ka?

Are games fun?

purezzeru wa tabemono desu ka?

Is the pretzel a food?

biiru wa nomimono desu ka?

Is beer a beverage? And so on.

With such simple questions a short answer is enough, such as yes or no.

In Japanese, "hai" means yes.

or "iie" for no. hai. iie.

Let's practice for a minute.

I ask you a question and then you say "hai".

Or "iie" as an answer.

geemu wa tanoshii desu ka?

geemu wa tanoshii desu ka?

Are games fun?

Yes, I can understand.

nihon wa suki desu ka?

Do you like Japan? Thank you, thank you!

I'm just going to assume that nine and ninety comma nine percent of you said: hai!

If someone said no so "iie", I'll say.

Maybe one day it will change and you then also say: hai.

And do you want to give for example give an intermediate answer like "Joaa"?

Or "goes like this", you can say: maa maa.

So for example: geemu wa suki desu ka? maa maa.

It is also very important to be able to ask a question if something is unclear.

And you also ask the question very simply according to the principle of "A wa B desu".

So more specifically, kore wa nan desu ka?

kore wa nan desu ka?

What is this? kore

is the name of the place around here.

nani means what.

Only nani desu ka is more difficult to pronounce, that's why it's called nan desu ka?

Therefore, the sentence kore wa nan desu ka?

And here is a short example for Nani, how it is not in real life should be pronounced.

Naniiiiiii!

And here is an example kore wa nan desu ka?

kore wa enajii dorinku desu.

A rather important word "enajii dorinku", energy drink.

With this sentence you can always find out what something is called.

By asking questions and making mistakes you learn the fastest.

Provided that the person asked knows the answer.

If not, the answer could be the answer is: wakarimasen.

I don't know.

I do not know or I do not understand.

wakarimasen quite important phrase, when you don't understand something.

Is the introductory text finished, you need something to lighten the atmosphere, something to break the ice.

What do you do then? Exactly.

You talk about the weather. Works most of the time.

kyou wa hare desu.

Today is clear weather, meaning: today the sun is shining.

ashita wa ame desu.

Tomorrow is rain, say, tomorrow it will rain.

In the north of Germany, for example like in Hamburg it looks but also often looks like this.

kyou wa ame desu.

Today is rain.

ashita mo ame desu.

Rain tomorrow as well.

This MO replaces the WA.

This is also a particle and says, that the main subject before the MO is just is something like that, which is after the MO.

And that could go on like that.

asatte mo ame desu.

asatte mo ame desu.

Rain the day after tomorrow, too.

mikkago mo ame desu.

Rain in three days as well.

It is raining all the time, actually.

You can use the structure A wa B desu also say the following.

hare wa mezurashii desu.

hare wa mezurashii desu.

Clear weather is rare, mezurashii means rare, rare.

By the way, this MO can also be used can also be used in the introduction round, such as. watashi wa Kato desu.

such as. watashi wa Kato desu.

watashi mo Kato desu.

So I am Kato. I am also Kato.

I am also Kato. I am also Kato.

Everyone is called Kato. Okay. Happens maybe rarely.

That kind of thing is more like "mezurashii".

We are through for the time being with the question What is XXX.

And now we go to the next important question Where is XXX. This could be very important for your first trip to Japan.

And "where?" is "doko."

do ko. Again, the sentence structure plays A wa B desu ka? A big role.

And the searched becomes the main theme and comes before the WA.

And the example sentence is then "A wa doko desu ka?"

So where is A? A standard question would be something like: "eki wa doko desu ka?"

Where is the station? Or:

koko wa doko desuka?

Where am I?

So if you do e.g.

landed in a foreign world is also often called "isekai".

and one would also have to determine in which world am I now?

Not so unimportant is the sentence: "toire wa doko desu ka?"

"toire wa doko desu ka?" Where is the toilet?

This is a question, that I like to remember very much and very often, when I visit a new country with a foreign language.

The toilet situation is different from country to country.

So the phrase "toire wa doko desuka?"

Pretty much of great importance.

Let's stay with a trip, you want to ask more often what something costs.

Also here "A wa B desu ka" structure.

The sentence is. "kore wa ikura desu ka?"

"kore" stands for this and "ikura" means what?

Literally then it is: how much is this?

So how much is this? "kore wa ikura desu ka?"

When you ask a question like that, one must of course understand the answer. The numbers.

However, it would not be so exciting, if I from it 1 to 10 million and to Fantastrilliarde simply therefore only the basics for now.

Let's start with 1 to 10...

We have already made it to 10 and the numbers are a bit simpler than in the German language.

For example, one does not say three and thirty, but thirty three.

After ten, "juu" comes "juu ichi" etc. so 10:1 would be 11.

Junni 12 is relatively easy.

And 20 would be "nijuu".

Because "ni" for 2 and "juu" for 10.

24 would not be "yon to nijuu", but "nijuu yon".

99 is "kyu juu kyu".

After that comes a hundred. "hyaku".

And so on. The other numbers can be found in the description below.

You can download it.

When you have decided what you want what you want to have, you just say.

A o kudasai.

Give me A, please.

The WO after the A is a particle. (is read O) and it determines the object of the sentence.

The target of an activity. For example.

"pan wo kudasai." Give me please the bread, so the bread is the goal of the activity of giving.

If you are in a sushi restaurant, you can also say, "maguro wo kudasai".

Give me tuna, please, then you will surely get a piece of Sushi with a slice of tuna on it And not the whole 300 kilos of tuna.

At least I think so.

Do you want something in particular then, you can also then point to something and say "kore wo kudasai", "kore wo kudasai", that means then. "please give me that one."

Since he started talking or finished shopping and say goodbye yourselves from the interlocutor, he says. Sayonara.

he says. Sayonara.

At least that's what quite a lot of textbooks say or Japanese courses, but that is just ...%"$)§%UTGJ

The phrase Sayonara is hardly used in practice.

You can find more detailed information in this video here above in the info box.

Instead, you use something like "mata ne".

See you soon. "jaa ne". So then. "jaa mata"

So see you soon. Or

when you go out of the restaurant, for example, you can also say "gochiso sama deshita". There

you say thank you for the food and so on.

These were the rough and simple Introduction to the Japanese language.

This is the end of the first Crash course is also finished.

Here you can find a summary of the course.

The welcome: I am XXX. Basic structure.
