If you think about it that way, I think it will be easier to understand the meaning of a book not only as a noun but also as a verb.
Hello everyone! I'm Nishizawa Roy, an English doctor.
On this channel, we deliver unconventional learning methods that make difficult English easy to understand.
Roy-san, I was studying English the other day and I suddenly thought.
There are various nouns, verbs, adjectives, and so on, right?
I understand adjectives and verbs, but I'm not sure about adjectives and verbs, so I'd like you to know them.
Have you ever heard of the words Hachihinshi and Juhinshi?
I feel like I've heard of something.
I want you to forget about Juhinshi, but there is a word called Hachihinshi.
What I want to convey is Hachihinshi, which means that there are 8 roles in a sentence.
Out of the 8 roles, the 4 most important ones are Hachihinshi and Juhinshi, so in this video, I would like to take a closer look at the 4 Hachihinshi.
Yes, please.
First of all, many people don't know what Hinchi is.
Let's ask Tony. What is Hinchi?
Hinchi...
Is it something like a dying person?
Oh, that Hinchi.
Not that.
Oh, not that.
Hinchi of words.
Oh, Hinchi of words?
I'm not sure.
When you ask what Hinchi is, there are people who give you specific things like food or verbs, but few people can explain what Hinchi is.
Hinchi is the role in words and sentences.
Hinchi is a very important foundation and a bone that supports the body.
Can you stand or walk without a bone?
I can't.
I'm sure everyone watching this video wants to learn more English.
At this time, people unconsciously want to understand the meaning.
But if you try to understand the meaning all of a sudden, you'll get stuck in a pitfall.
Language is remodeled, and the structure comes first before the meaning.
Let's compare it to a fish.
The meaning is meat.
The structure is a bone.
Reading English and understanding the meaning is like eating fish.
Do you think you can eat deliciously if you suddenly bite a whole fish?
No, I can't eat it deliciously because the bones get stuck in my mouth.
That's right.
That's why fish need to be handled first.
And remove the bones.
By doing so, you can eat deliciously.
What is the structure of bones in English?
Hinchi and Bunkei.
I think many people are not good at both Hinchi and Bunkei.
This is very important.
There are many people who are not good at teaching at school.
It's important to teach at school.
If you can handle the bones well, you can eat deliciously.
It's not just reading and understanding the meaning.
It's also important when you use it yourself.
Grammar is a rule when using words.
Hinchi and Bunkei.
If you don't understand this, you'll end up like a crocodile without bones.
Then you can't stand or walk well.
I think you can understand the importance of the structure of bones.
When you want to understand the meaning, you want to taste the meaning.
The first thing to do is to grasp the structure.
The first thing to do is to remove the bones.
For example, this word is used in adjectives.
What is Bunkei?
Where is Bunkei?
Whether you can make such a judgment unconsciously.
It leads to reading ability and reading speed.
Hinchi is such an important foundation.
There are some reasons why I'm not good at it.
In Japanese, which is a mother tongue,
I don't care about Hinchi.
Is this a verb?
Is it an adjective?
I don't think about it.
And even in Japanese classes,
Hinchi should be learned by Katsuyo.
But you probably don't know that.
For example, there was Katsuyo.
We learned it later.
By learning it, I was able to use Japanese.
I used it in the first place.
That's Katsuyo.
So the knowledge of grammar is not useful.
So by learning the knowledge of grammar,
I haven't had the experience of improving my language.
It's a waste to learn that way.
In this video,
Without a difficult explanation,
But the important part is prohibited.
I'd like to talk about that.
Yes, please.
First of all, a noun is a word that refers to a thing.
Language is basically
I'm talking about what I'm looking at.
For example, Taro likes ramen.
There's a person named Taro.
There's a food called ramen.
This is both a noun.
And by connecting a noun such as Taro or ramen,
You can make a sentence.
This is the same in any language.
By arranging nouns and connecting them,
You can make a sentence.
In that sense,
It's a noun that contains 90% of the language.
So there's vocabulary.
There's a lot of vocabulary.
Basically,
How much do you know about this noun?
That's what I'm talking about.
A verb is a word that represents motion or state.
In the case of Japanese,
It's a word that ends with udan.
Play, eat, go.
It's like that.
Udan ends with a verb, right?
And basically, in the case of Japanese,
Verbs represent motion.
But in the case of English,
There are verbs that also represent states.
Just be careful about that.
For example,
There are also verbs that represent states.
And earlier,
I told you that you can make a sentence by arranging nouns.
In English,
The most important element in connecting nouns is the verb.
For example,
Taro likes ramen noodles.
In that case,
The verb like is
A noun called Taro.
It's a noun called ramen noodles.
By the way,
A noun becomes a noun by making a verb.
For example,
話す is a verb.
話すこと is a noun by making a verb.
In English,
It's ING.
ING is speaking.
It means to speak.
A adjective is a word that ends with a noun.
It's a word that ends with a noun.
By the way, Tony,
Do you know what it means to end with a noun?
Does it mean to explain a noun?
That's right.
I understand that.
This is a precise story.
Earlier, I told you that language is a hierarchy.
There is a hierarchy of meaning.
And before that,
There is a hierarchy of structure and bones.
When we talk about this structure,
We use the words 修飾する and 掛かる.
If you use the word 説明する,
It's like you're talking about meaning.
You might get caught.
It's not about meaning.
No, it's about structure.
It's about structure.
From here to here.
It's hanging.
It's like an arrow pointing at you.
The words that represent that level are 修飾する and 掛かる.
So again,
An adjective is a word that ends with a noun.
For example, when you say 冷たい水,
冷たい is considered an adjective.
This ends with the noun 水.
In English, cold water.
Cold is an adjective.
It ends with the noun water.
So,
Cold is an adjective.
There are two ways to use it.
This might be a little complicated.
But I want you to know about it.
The first way is
限定用法.
The name is not important.
But I want you to know how to use it.
It's like cold water.
You use it before a noun.
That's how you do it.
Another example is
彼は冷たい。
He is cold.
助術用法
You use it as a noun in a sentence.
You don't need to know the name of 限定用法 and 助術用法.
But there are two ways to use it.
You use it before a noun.
Or you use it as a noun in a sentence.
I want you to know the difference.
Why do we need to know the difference?
助術用法
He is cold.
Adjectives are included in sentences.
I'll explain the sentences in another video.
Adjectives are rules that line up words.
Adjectives are included in sentences.
So you need to know the meaning of adjectives.
If you think it's difficult, you can skip it.
保護
It's called SVC.
Adjectives are included in sentences.
You can use it as a noun in a sentence.
福祉
Do you know what 福祉 is?
I don't know what 福祉 is.
That's right.
We don't know what 福祉 is.
To define 福祉,
It's a noun.
Adjectives are included in sentences.
動詞, 形容詞, 副詞, 文
There are four adjectives.
So you can use a lot of adjectives.
That's right.
So we don't know what 福祉 is.
Let's take a closer look.
動詞
run fast
run is a verb.
fast is a verb.
So it's a verb.
形容詞
very good
good is a noun.
So good is an adjective.
You can use it as a noun.
So very is a noun.
So it's a verb.
福祉
run very fast
run fast
fast is a verb.
So you can use it as a noun.
So very is a noun.
And there is another noun.
For example,
fortunately, he survived.
動詞
形容詞
副詞
文
福祉
The important point of 福祉 is
文形
It's just an adjective.
It's not a noun.
In that sense,
It's important to determine whether it's an adjective or a noun.
Adjectives can be included in a sentence in the form of a noun.
But a noun is not included.
So you can distinguish between an adjective and a noun.
That's an important foundation.
So,
Nouns, verbs, adjectives, and nouns.
I've seen these four.
I said these four are important.
This is the most important foundation to suppress the sentence.
What many people tend to do is
When you learn a word,
You tend to suppress only the Japanese translation.
At that time,
Suppress the noun together.
Please keep this in mind.
At first,
You may think it's a hassle to think about the noun.
But it's important to get used to it.
Once you get used to it,
You don't have to think about it.
Oh, this is a noun.
This is a noun.
You'll be able to understand it unconsciously.
Then you'll be able to grasp the structure of the sentence more easily.
Until then,
Please be aware of which noun it is.
Yes, I'll try to be aware of it.
By the way,
One of the big differences between Japanese and English is
In English, one word is
It can be used with multiple nouns.
For example, in the example just now,
Fast.
A fast car.
If you say that, you'll suppress the noun with adjectives.
But if you say run fast,
It's already a noun.
Because it suppresses the verb run.
That's why there are multiple nouns.
You need to suppress it a little bit.
And for example,
There's a word called book.
What does it mean?
A book.
It's hard to think of.
It's a question that comes up a lot.
There's a verb that means to book a book.
Why does it mean to book a book?
Oh, that's right.
That's a big question.
There are a lot of people like that.
Let's talk about that.
What do you think of when you think of a book?
When you think of a book,
I think of a book.
I think it's hard to explain.
It's like a bookstore.
I think you're imagining a book that's been made.
But that's a recent story.
Think about the old days.
When there was no bookmaking technology.
What do you think the book was doing?
Maybe it's opening a hole and closing it with a string.
It's like a bookmark.
You can add more pages.
You can write it down.
That's what the book is supposed to be.
Oh, that's true.
If you think about it that way,
Make a reservation.
Write down the reservation information.
That's a book.
Book is not just a noun.
I think it'll be easier to understand
what it means to make a reservation with a verb.
That's right.
So when you learn a word,
If you're only thinking about Japanese,
What is a noun?
Let's be aware of that, too.
Thank you for today.
I could see the difference between a noun, a verb, a adjective, and a adverb.
In particular, the adjective is a noun.
I didn't know at all that a noun is a noun.
I think I'll be able to see the difference easily from now on.
I learned a lot today.
Thank you very much.
Thank you for watching today's video until the end.
