I like this explanation of written Japanese vs spoken Japanese. I was taught "wa" is a subject marker, but it makes sense now that people might see "ga" as the subject because the "wa" subject is, 9 times out of 10, omitted due to context.

When you say subject in this lesson are you reffering to the grammatical subject or the semantic subject? I'm a linguistics student so this is just out of curiosity. For instance in the "Terebi ga suki" it seems like terebi is the grammatical subject and the sentence is kind of in passive voice or something.

Wouldn't I also be able to accurately translate テレビが好き(です) as "T.V. is nice"? Since we have english adjectives that also say "i like this", I feel it is not only More accurate to translate Japanese this way, but it also maintains the natural sound of common English speech patterns, all Without compromising the integrity of the original message Or confusing teachers and students of the language. Any thoughts, Yuta-Sensei?

Please STOP starting your sentences with 'So'.

This is bad English!

He's teaching Japanese, not English. No one cares about grammatically correct English, least of all native speakers.

My Japanese friend told me that the sentence “I like dogs.” In Japanese is “わたしはいぬがすきです。” would that be more formal or written Japanese then? If I’m talking with friends in Japanese should I say “いぬがすき。” or “いぬすき。” ?
