[00:00:01]Hey everyone, before we talk about the form today, there are two verbs that we have to quickly review. These two verbs are not the same and kura is a descriptive verb and it means to be so or to be like that. And you probably already know this one because this is the one that you'll use when you say like kuro.

[00:00:28]Kuroda, however, is an action verb and it doesn't mean to be so, but it means to do so. Basically, like saying to act like that. Like if you're watching a drama and the character says, that's this one. Why are you doing that?

[00:00:46]Why are you acting like that? Why are you being like that? Come on, bro. But it actually has a second meaning, too.

[00:00:52]Because what it actually means is to do like that to do. So but if you remember from quoting you can also use as a way to say to say something. So kuroda also means to say that because can mean so it can mean both to do that like to act like that or to say that. So these both work a little bit differently but if you noticed both of these conjugate the same way or so because of that you might not know if a verb is or just by seeing or past tense for example. You have to know by the context. Is someone talking about an action like doing something or saying something or are they just describing something like it is like that?

[00:01:50]If you say something and someone replies, it's like really but literally it's like is that so? So this one would be it's a descriptive verb to be. So this could be why is it like that? But if you're saying it to a person, it's more like why are you doing that? We just needed this really quick review before we go over the actual grammar forms we're going to be using because there are three forms that we need to talk about. So let's talk about the basic one first. You might have learned this before. You take a quoting plain form which is just plain form. But there's one difference. When you use the verbida, you get after a consonant or after a vowel as well as anida to not be becomes.

[00:02:37]Besides that, it's just a plain form. So becomes to eat is that's it. You just take the regular quoting plain form as normal with co and instead of using for to say or you just use the verb kurod because remember kura means and can be used to say something with a quote. So something something cool.

[00:03:09]So someone said that. So this is technically the same as just using the regular quoting form. So someone said something. However, this form is only used in spoken informal everyday conversation. It is not used in formal speech and it doesn't appear a lot in writing. It's not rude but it doesn't sound like official or formal. So here are two quick examples. Tarsu our friend Tarsu.

[00:03:40]So also tu to go can go past tense. So tu also he also said that quote he can go. So said he can go too.

[00:04:05]So said that he can also go.

[00:04:12]So in Korea already to arrive in this case the plain form of in the past tense.

[00:04:24]So once we see after a plain form we know it's going to be a quote.

[00:04:30]So he said that what did he say?

[00:04:37]He already arrived in Korea.

[00:04:43]So tu said that he already arrived in Korea. Again, this form is only for speech, informal speech. It's not formal and it's only more for like everyday conversations.

[00:04:57]Okay, that is not the form though that I wanted to teach you. You can learn that when you learn about quotes. We're going to be learning about a hidden meaning of these two verbs that you probably didn't know, but once you learn, you're going to see them everywhere. This looks really similar to what we just did.

[00:05:17]You're going to be attaching kura again.

[00:05:20]However, instead of attaching it after a quote, we're just attaching it after an action verb stem. So like to do is just not this will conjugate the same way to eat.

[00:05:41]There are no exceptions to this. It's very easy to make. So then what is this form? What is this form? Let me write up a quick example.

[00:05:51]in so I sometimes so something's happening here because we have is to sleep literally to sleep a sleep but that's just sleep so I even sleep here sleep and this is because it is after an action verbada so we're not going to be using it to mean to say so here because we're not using it with a quote It's just so I do that.

[00:06:30]So sometimes I sleep here too and I do that is what it means literally. This form after an action verb is only used again in spoken informal everyday conversation. It's not formal. What it is is it's used to finish explaining something basically but without giving any details because what we're saying here is I do that and yeah I do that.

[00:07:03]Yeah, I do that and that's what I do.

[00:07:05]You're like yada yada over something that happens or happened. So, it has the nuance of what we do in English when we say something and then we maybe finish the sentence with saying like and yeah, we didn't say anything. We're just like that's it or like or maybe and stuff.

[00:07:26]I'm not really saying what stuff is, but you know, stuff like that.

[00:07:35]So if we don't use this form, it's saying sometimes I even sleep there and stuff. You're not really saying there's anything else specifically.

[00:07:45]You're just kind of saying that's all I'm explaining, you know? Yeah.

[00:07:53]So sometimes I even sleep here and stuff. So that's what this form is. And the reason it's hidden is because even if you never learned this form, you would still kind of get it. Like if someone said and you didn't know the form, you didn't know what that means. You would understand the whole sentence any you'd get up to here.

[00:08:14]You might think, "Yeah, I sleep here sometimes, too." Yeah. You might not get exactly what's going on, but you'll still get the sentence and you can reply because it's often used as forms that you're familiar with like means yeah you might see this therefore because of that. So you see it conjugated in ways that you recognize without realizing this is a separate grammar form. That's why it's hidden.

[00:08:43]You could see this and not understand it's a separate grammar form and still understand 100% of the sentence. But now you do. You know the grammar form secrets. It can't hide from us anymore.

[00:08:54]Again, it's like ending a sentence by saying and yeah or maybe like so you know I like sleep here sometimes or maybe I sleep here sometimes and stuff.

[00:09:07]So yum is like lately nowadays. So nowadays too these days still or just still is after midnight. So this would be like in the morning. So is like 2 in the morning yoga to do yoga. So, so are you still doing like yoga or are you still doing yoga and stuff at like 2:00 in the morning?

[00:09:36]Again, you don't need this form. You could just say, but it's more implying that like, you know, like that and stuff without giving any extra details.

[00:09:50]So, are you still doing like yoga and stuff at 2 in the morning?

[00:09:56]I over there that place I love it so much because I love it so much.

[00:10:07]Chumar is weekend. Mada is each. So each and every weekend.

[00:10:13]So just look at that part first.

[00:10:16]I'm going there every single week because I like it so much.

[00:10:24]In this case, it's progressive tense like I'm going there every single weekend because I like it so much.

[00:10:37]So, to be busy. So, I was so busy. We know it's was because the end is past tense.

[00:10:45]is to eat. So is while eating is to wash up.

[00:10:52]So I'm even washing my face and that's what I did. So because I was so busy, I was even like washing my face while I was eating.

[00:11:06]I was so busy that I was even like washing my face while I was eating.

[00:11:12]We saw kuroda just now with action verb stems, but remember kura is a descriptive verb. So if you're using a descriptive verb, you can do the exact same thing by just using kura instead of kuroda. Sometimes they conjugate a little bit differently, but in the u form, they do both conjugate as kuro. So the only time you'll be able to tell which form it's using is if you hear it conjugated in a different way. But that's the difference is that if you're using an action verb, you use kurod. If you're using a descriptive verb, you use kur. But the way the forms work is the exact same thing.

[00:11:51]You know, as I expected or like, yeah, I knew it. Of course.

[00:11:57]So this thing this in this case it's food is even if you eat when so whenever you eat it to be delicious.

[00:12:12]So you're saying ah man I knew it. This thing's always good no matter when you eat it. You know some food like that like no matter when you eat it it always tastes good for me like tacos. You could have tacos at like three in the morning.

[00:12:27]Yeah, I knew it. This stuff, whatever you're eating, is delicious no matter when you eat it, right? But because we're using instead of just so it has that meaning of like like or you know and stuff, man, this is just good like you know whenever you eat it.

[00:12:48]10 years old or is how you say for as in something is remarkable for despite being whatever is before it. In this case for 10 years old is to be short.

[00:13:09]They're a bit short for a 10-year-old.

[00:13:14]But if you don't know this form, it just adds more emphasis to whatever verb you're using it after. Yeah, they are a bit short for a 10year-old.

[00:13:26]Yeah, they are a bit short and stuff for a 10year-old.

[00:13:32]So again nowadays too or still is to be like itchy lately. My like nose is itchy and stuff.

[00:13:47]My nose is still itchy and stuff these days price.

[00:13:55]It's too cheap because the price is too cheap here means to not buy cannot So it was so cheap and stuff that I couldn't not buy it.

[00:14:25]So that is the entire lesson for today.

[00:14:28]Thank you everyone for coming and I will see you again next time.
