Show notes

Today we go crazy and throw two grammar points together. B4 Ba (if) and B3 Hodo (the extent that) to mean 'the more you X the more you will Y.' This is a super fun grammar point that will blow your mind. Or at least make it just that more Japaneseified.
The more you study Japanese the more you will want to hear from us, which is why we have a weekly newsletter, manga-sensei.com

Learn Japanese 82: Hodo/ほど Oct 31, 2017

Show notes

To the extent that you listen to this podcast, you will gain magical powers. Okay, while that may not be true, the grammar point 'Hodo' is used after Verbs (most commonly できる） or Nouns to show the extent.
This is really fun grammar point that can help you articulate just how much of something someone can do.
*Remember that when using it to compare to someone, you use the negative tense at the end of the sentence to be polite; and that your verbs are in Base 3. If you don't know what any of that means that's why we have a website: manga-sensei.com

Show notes

other then grammar point is also said as Nara, Naraba, or (B3/Bta Verb)No Nara. If you see that don't panic they are all the same.
Nara by itself is most common when speaking,
Naraba is just adding the 'ba' from episode 75,
and No Nara is just the same thing, but often more on the written side of things, than the spoken.
