Somewhere / Anywhere / Where || どこかで・どこかに Hey guys, today I’m going to talk about the difference between どこかで and どこかに in Japanese! These are a bit tricky so I’m sorry if I couldn’t explain it well. The two particles that you see (で and に) change the meaning of both these words that otherwise seem very similar! And don’t worry, it’s very easy to confuse the usage of these particles because they are similar so you’re not alone! どこかで・Somewhere/Where： で indicates the place where the action has taken place. This particle is used to connect an event or action with a location or a place where it has occurred. In this situation it is usually followed by action verbs. For example: どこかで私の教科書、失くしました。 I lost my textbook somewhere. So you would use どこかで in an example where an event has occurred (i.e. losing your textbook) and you are trying to connect it to the place it has happened (i.e. somewhere). どこかに・Somewhere/Anywhere/Where： に indicates the location or place that you don’t know. This particle is used to connect an object with a location or place where it exists. In this situation it is usually followed by verbs which indicate the location or direction of something or someone. For example: どこかに私の教科書、忘れました。 I forgot my textbook somewhere. So you would use どこかに in an example where you would like to express whether something is somewhere and you don’t know where that location is. Therefore using どこかに in this example means “I’ve misplaced my textbook somewhere and I don’t know where that is.”

In short, で is used to express where a certain action takes place and に is used to express the position or location. 

For the most part どこかで and どこかに is usually always at the start of a sentence and is followed by their respective verbs. 

It’s important to know that when using で it is inferred that you have an idea where the location or the event that happened is, and using に means that you don’t know where that location is. 

And here’s a tip: you can simply shorten it to どっかで and どっかに and it still means the same thing. This is a common way of saying these phrases as it rolls off the tongue a bit easier.

Examples： どこかに旅行に行きましょう。 Let’s go on a trip somewhere. どこかでサッカーをしましょう。 Let’s play soccer somewhere. サラはどこかに買い物をしに行きました。 Sarah went shopping somewhere. どこかでパーティーをしています。 There’s a party somewhere.

Why Japanese is EASY

A lot of people want to study Japanese but think it’s too hard and that they will never succeed. That is really a myth, though. Here is why Japanese is actually easy.

1. All verbs are regular, there are only 2 exceptions 

If you know French, this must sound like a dream to you. In other languages [like French] there seem to be more irregular verbs than regular ones. Not in Japanese, though. There are 3 groups of verbs, the first 2 being regular and very easy to conjugate. The third group consists of only 2 irregular verbs!

2. Easy pronunciation 

Japanese doesn’t have any exceptionally hard to pronounce letters. Unlike Arabic, German or Finnish, Japanese should be quite easy to pronounce for English speakers. Also, Japanese isn’t a tonal language like Thai or Chinese. 

3. No genders, plural or articles

Anyone who studies a romance language [and many other languages that have that] knows how frustrating it can be when you use the wrong article or verb ending. In Japanese, it doesn’t even exist, so nothing to worry!

4. Grammar is easy!

That’s true. It’s just completely different from English, but that doesn’t make it hard. After a while, it will feel completely normal. The best part about the grammar is that you can build a whole sentence with just one word. For example, if you wanted to ask somebody in English if they did their homework, you’d say ‘did you do your homework?’ Kind of long, isn’t it? In Japanese, you can ask by using only the verb ‘to do, can, be able to’ - like this: ‘done?’ Also, spoken, you can drop many words if you don’t really need them, especially particles! So if you’re not sure what particle to use, chances are you can just easily leave it altogether without the sentence losing its meaning. It’s easy to build sentences that seem to end in ‘…’, but that’s completely normal in Japanese and everyone will understand.

5. Tons of resources

Sadly, there are some languages people don’t really care about or not a lot of people want to study/ are interested in. Japanese is not one of those languages. There are hundreds of books about Kanji alone! And so many courses for every level. Also, it doesn’t matter what you’re interested in - anime, manga, books, movies, game show, video games, dramas, music - it’s all out there and super easy to find, so you definitely will find something you can listen to or read to practice your skills.

6. Kanji/the writing systems are hard?

No. They aren’t. It’s just a huge workload, it takes time and effort, but they are not hard.

At first, having to learn 3 writing systems will seem exhausting. But believe me, later, when you start reading, you will be so glad! You can detect if a text has a lot of foreign words at one glance if it has a lot of Katakana, for example, and you could say a lot more on twitter because of the syllabaries!

So actually, the 3 systems put together makes everything easier to read!

So please, just start studying and go at your own pace, and have fun studying every day ⭐︎
