Learn Japanese w/ Manga Sensei

Today we are talking about a 'fun' yet sad words called Toutou. とうとう (toutou) Something that the speaker or subject has been expecting “finally” happened. It might sound similar to やっと, but it doesn’t carry the positive connotation of the thing being desirable. Quite the opposite, frequently the thing that happens in a とうとう sentence is something undesirable that one has no control over. However, if the thing was something in your control than it expresses a sense of satisfaction over the process, somewhat similarly to やっと.

Koto and Mono are two very popular nominalizers, but powerful opposites. Now that we know what mono is, we are ready to discuss the more common and maybe even more useful thing that is koto. Koto is an intangible "thing" like an idea, method, concept or something else of that nature.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themangasensei/?hl=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/themangasensei/Twitter: https://twitter.com/themangasenseiYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFyhPCVFsM_0D0YtoFFlkWwWebsite: manga-sensei.comMusic by Gizmo

This thing is the thing that makes things things. That's right that was a completely accurate sentence. This is an EXTREMELY important episode for understanding a super amazing grammar point. Mono or is the thing that actually means "thing" and is a literal physical object.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themangasensei/?hl=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/themangasensei/Twitter: https://twitter.com/themangasenseiYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFyhPCVFsM_0D0YtoFFlkWwWebsite: manga-sensei.comMusic by Gizmo

John Sensei goes off on a little bit of a rant. Not kidding, it may be a little harsh, but then again he is really passionate about this topic. So hope this doesn't get you too wound up, but we hope you enjoy this... candid diatribe.
