Learn Japanese - The Complete Video Series (presented by becauseofdreams) - 「Learn Japanese」 ぐらい and ごろ（に） as “about/approximately”

「Learn Japanese」 ぐらい and ごろ（に） as “about/approximately” While ぐらい is used to approximate a quantity or duration, ごろ（に） is used to approximate a point in time. At times, ぐらい is used in lieu of ごろ（に） to represented an approximate point in time as well, but ごろ（に） should never be used in lieu of ぐらい to represent an approximate quantity or duration. Example(s): ご飯が出来たまで何時間ぐらいかかりますか？ Gohan ga dekita made nanjikan gurai kakarimasuka? (How long until the rice is done?) このアニメのファンサブは十二時ごろに出てくる。 Kono anime no fansub wa jyuuniji goro ni detekuru. (This anime’s fan-subs come out around twelve.) ✧¸¸.•*¨*• •*¨*•.¸¸✧ Support Learning Japanese on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/learningjapanese This video series is presented by becauseofdreams. http://becauseofdreams.com/ For the sub-domain dedicated to the Japanese grammar patterns covered in this video series and other aspects of learning the Japanese language and culture, visit http://learnjapanese.becauseofdreams.com All media presented in this video is created and owned by becauseofdreams or is used with complete permissions. ✧¸¸.•*¨*• •*¨*•.¸¸✧ Edit(s): *Please do leave a comment below if you notice any potential errors so I can include a notification about it!
