改まった形|Polite Forms
In formal settings like in a business meeting or at a public gathering some words are switched with politer forms. You often hear them when somebody is giving a speech, holding a presentation or on TV. But they appear in written form as well, especially in business context. Basically, everywhere where keigo is used, it is also expected to apply politer forms.

This might be a very niche take but I think we should take people's reasons for learning a language in mind when suggesting how they go about it
I've seen people in a lot of Japanese learning communities tell other to never watch fantasy anime (or anime at all sometimes) or read anything that's not slice-of-life or actual literature because "people in real life don't speak like that"
And while, yes, that's true, native Japanese speakers do not generally speak like anime characters, uhhhh... The probability of me watching a fantasy anime in the course of a month is significantly higher than the probability of me going to Japan in the next five years. So understanding anime character speech is in fact more relevant to me than, idk, business lingo
And, I don't think that's a bad thing personally? Learning a language because you want to better understand content you find fun is just as good a reason as learning it to live in the country where the language is spoken, and it's fine and reasonable to adjust your learning strategies according to your personal goals

iirc niko’s name is spelled in katakana (ニコ) on the letters from her mom, which makes me think it’s referencing the term nikoniko (ニコニコ). as in, the onomatopoeia for smiling. my girl’s name is literally smile, of course she’s a perfect ray of sunshine.

Hey fellow Japanese langblrs! Any suggestions for YouTubers/bloggers that make videos exclusively in Japanese? I’m not necessarily looking for instruction videos, but something casual I can listen to and get a feel for, preferably daily life vlogs or video essay type videos. If you have any recs pls lmk!

Recommendation: Apps for Japanese Learning
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Over the years, I've downloaded and tested many apps. Though my favorite app was discontinued (I miss you, mindsnacks Japanese), there are still others that I don't think I'll be removing from my phone any time soon. In light of duolingo's horrible update causing a large migration and search for other apps, I thought I'd share some of my favorites. Also, some of these apps have websites or discords for you to interact with other users or to ask support questions.
For those who cannot use/don't like the graphics, the written out version is below the break.

Stop using pronouns in Japanese.
If you are an English speaker, you will often use pronouns to refer to yourself and other people. Sentences in English will not make sense if someone asked you, "What nationality?" and you respond, "Am American".
See what I did there? I removed the pronouns in English and it sounds pretty odd. Maybe it makes sense in context, but it's unnatural either way. In Japanese however, you will usually leave out pronouns, especially when talking about yourself. You don't want to constantly mention yourself when you are talking about your actions. Scenarios:
You hang out with a friend and say you have to go back home in the most beginner-ish way you can say it:
私は家に帰ります。
This is textbook Japanese and it sounds so odd. When you end a sentence with the standard present tense like 行く or 行きます、without a pronoun there, it automatically refers to yourself. Unless of course the subject was a question about someone. Else in the above scenario, especially when you're asked something, just omit the pronoun:
家に帰ります。
In real life situations, you also don't really want to refer to others as 彼 or 彼女。Use their name instead, since you definitely don't want to use any iteration of "you", like あなた。
Even when trying to say something like "Is this your pen?" should be rather phrased like
これはA子さんのペンですか?
Even then this sentence is a wee bit odd, I'd rather it be:
このペンはA子さんのですか?
There's also slightly different nuances to be used in formal and informal speech, but I don't have too much experience in the former.
