1:43

小林 林 小林 林さ さん ん this

1:46

starts with ken's family y name e 小林 林 小林 林 小林

1:54

林 小林 林 after

1:57

th his is さん ん polite

2:00

suffix attached to a person's name. It

2:03

translates as Mr. in Ken's case.

2:06

S A M Note.

2:09

This suffix can be used with any gender.

2:12

Together, Kobayashi-san. Mr.

2:16

Kobayashi-san. After

2:19

this is the particle, W A The

2:22

topic marking particle, W

2:24

A W A It

2:27

marks Mr. Kobayashi as the topic of the

2:29

sentence. Think of it

2:31

like as for in the expression as

2:34

for Mr. Kobayashi. Together

2:36

it's Kobayashi-san-wa as

2:39

for Mr. Kobayashi. Kobayashi-san-wa

2:44

In Japanese, it's more common and polite

2:46

to address a person by his or

2:48

her name and polite suffix rather

2:50

than directly with you. After

2:53

this is K A Student

2:56

K A K U S E I K

2:59

U S EI Next is

3:02

D E S Here, it's like

3:04

the R in R U. D E

3:07

S D E S Last

3:11

is the particle, K A The

3:14

question marking particle, K A K

3:18

A This particle

3:20

turns the sentence into a question. All

3:23

together it's, Kobayashi-san-wa This

3:27

literally means, as for Mr. Kobayashi,

3:30

student you are? But

3:33

it translates as, Mr. Kobayashi, are

3:35

you a student? Kobayashi-san-wa

3:37

G A K

3:39

U S EI Let's take

3:42

a closer look at the response. Do

3:44

you remember how Ken Kobayashi says, No,

3:46

I'm not a student, I'm an investor.

3:49

I E K

3:54

A K U S E I D E S D

3:57

U S I K U S I First

3:59

is, いいい.

4:01

Meaning, no. いいいいいい.

4:06

It answers Megumi's yes or no question. Are

4:09

you a student? 가생이

4:12

이? Next, Ken says, 가생이 마이 마이. I'm

4:16

not a student. 가생이

4:18

마이 마이. First is 가생. Student. 가생.

4:25

After this is 가생이 마이. Here

4:29

it's like the am not in I

4:31

am not. It's a polite negative

4:33

form of the linking verb. 가생이

4:37

마이 마이 마이. Note. 가생이

4:44

마이 마이. Comes from the linking verb 가. To

4:47

be 가생이 마이.

4:50

All together it's 가생이 마이 마이. This

4:55

literally means student I am not.

4:58

But it translates as I'm not

5:00

a student. 가생이

5:04

마이 마이. Note. The I is understood

5:06

through context as Ken is responding to

5:08

the question. Finally, Ken

5:10

says 호생이. I'm

5:14

an investor. 호생이. First

5:17

is 호생이. Investor. 호생이

5:26

가. 호생이. After this is 호생이.

5:28

Here it's like the am in I

5:30

am. 호생이. All

5:34

together it's 호생이. This

5:38

literally means investor I am.

5:41

But it translates as I'm an

5:43

investor. 호생이.

5:46

Note. The I is understood through context.

5:50

All together 호생이 마이 마이 또생이.

5:52

No. I'm not a student. I'm an investor. 가시드

6:01

와리마세. 도 시아들.

6:06

The pattern is... 이에,

6:09

occupation. 세마세, actual occupation. 들. No,

6:15

I'm not occupation. I'm

6:18

actual occupation. 이에,

6:21

occupation. 들아리마세, actual occupation. 들. Imagine

6:27

you're Emma Egawa, a student. Ken

6:29

asks you if you're an investor.

6:32

Say, no, I'm not an

6:34

investor. I'm a student. Ready?

6:41

이에, 도 시아들아리마세,

6:43

도 시아들. No,

6:46

I'm not an investor. I'm a

6:48

student. 이에, 도

6:51

시아들아리마세, 도 시아들.

6:58

Again, the pattern is... 이에, occupation. 들아리마세, actual

7:00

occupation. 들. No,

7:07

I'm not occupation. I'm

7:09

actual occupation. 이에,

7:12

occupation. 들아리마세, actual occupation. 들. Let's

7:18

look at some examples. Listen and repeat,

7:20

or speak along with the native speakers. 이에,

7:24

입세도월아리마세, 도 시아들.

7:28

No, I'm not a student. I'm an

7:30

investor. 이에,

7:33

입세듄월아리마세, 도 시아들.

7:38

이에, 도 시아들아리마세,

7:40

도 시아들. No,

7:43

I'm not an investor. I'm a student.

7:47

이에, 입연들아리마세, 도

7:50

시아들. 이에,

7:54

입세듄월아리마세, 가날자에.

7:59

No, I'm not an investor. I'm not a doctor, I'm

8:01

a scientist. I have

8:03

a great interest in her life. I

8:10

have a great interest in her life. No,

8:14

I'm not a nurse, I'm a doctor. I

8:18

have a great interest in her life. I

8:23

have a great interest in her

8:26

life. No,

8:28

I'm not a student, I'm a teacher. I

8:32

have a great interest in her

8:34

life. I

8:37

have a great interest in her life. No,

8:40

I'm a barista. I

8:43

have a great interest in her life. Did

8:49

you notice how the last speaker omits part of

8:51

the response? She says, I

8:54

have a great interest in her life. No,

8:58

I'm a barista. I'm a barista.

9:02

When directly responding to someone's question, it's

9:05

often possible to omit part of the

9:07

response, here by simply answering,

9:09

I'm a barista. No, there's no

9:11

need to say, I'm a barista. I'm

9:15

not a student. The pattern

9:17

is, I'm an actual

9:19

occupation. No,

9:22

I'm an actual occupation. You

9:25

should be aware of this pattern, but for this

9:27

lesson, we'll use the pattern. Yeah,

9:30

occupation. There are

9:32

many actual occupations. No,

9:36

I'm not occupation. I'm actual

9:38

occupation. Let's

9:42

review the key vocabulary. Teacher,

9:47

when a teacher is talking about his or

9:49

her own occupation. Note,

9:55

今次 is also commonly

9:57

used to mean teacher, but when you talk about your

9:59

own occupation, Your own occupation is

10:02

commonly used. Scientist

10:10

Nurse Dr.

10:20

Dr. Barista

10:27

Barista Let's

10:34

review. Respond to the prompts by speaking

10:36

aloud. Then, repeat after the

10:39

native speakers, focusing on pronunciation. Ready?

10:53

how Ken says, I'm an investor.

10:59

13:02

Let's practice. Imagine you're

13:04

Megumi Sasaki and you're a

13:06

scientist, or Kadaksa,

13:08

in Japanese. Respond

13:11

to Ken's question. Ready?

13:14

Isha desu ka? Iye,

13:23

Isha deva arimasen. Kanakushades.

13:28

15:05

role in the larger skill of introducing yourself.
