Often confused with 教えます because both relate to learning/teaching, but 習います specifically means 'to learn' or 'to take lessons'.
教えます is 'to teach' (someone teaches something to someone else). 習います is 'to learn' (someone learns something from someone else).
私は日本語を**習っています**。 (I am learning Japanese.)
Like 習います, 勉強します is about learning, leading to confusion with the teaching aspect of 教えます.
教えます is about imparting knowledge. 勉強します means 'to study', often implying self-directed learning or general academic study, not necessarily from a teacher.
毎日、漢字を**勉強しています**。 (I study kanji every day.)
This is the passive form of 教えます, meaning 'to be taught' or 'to learn from someone', which is very close in meaning to 習います.
While similar to 習います, 教わります explicitly highlights the source of the teaching, emphasizing that knowledge is being received from a teacher or expert. 習います can be more general.
先生に数学を**教わりました**。 (I was taught math by the teacher.)
Both can mean 'to tell' or 'to convey information'.
教えます is about imparting knowledge or instructing. 伝えます is more about simply conveying a message or information, without necessarily teaching.
彼に私のメッセージを**伝えてください**。 (Please tell him my message.)
In some contexts, showing something can be a way of 'teaching' or 'telling' how to do something, creating a subtle overlap.
教えます is about verbal instruction or sharing knowledge. 見せます is strictly 'to show' visually, though showing can be a component of teaching.
新しい車を**見せてあげます**。 (I will show you my new car.)

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल
10 सवाल教える (おしえる) means 'to teach' or 'to tell,' so it focuses on the action of imparting knowledge. On the other hand, 習う (ならう) means 'to learn' or 'to study,' which focuses on the action of acquiring knowledge. Think of it like this: A teacher 教える (teaches), and a student 習う (learns).
Yes, absolutely! While 'to teach' is a primary meaning, 教える (おしえる) also means 'to tell' or 'to inform.' For example, you can use it to say 'I will tell you the way to the station' (駅への道を教えます - Eki e no michi o oshiemasu).
Both 教える (おしえる) and 伝える (つたえる) can mean 'to tell.' However, 伝える (つたえる) emphasizes passing on a message or information, often from one person to another, like 'to convey.' 教える can also mean 'to tell,' but it often implies giving instructions, showing how to do something, or providing information that someone doesn't know.
Yes, 教えます (おしえます) is the polite form of 教える and is perfectly appropriate for most situations. If you want to be extra polite in a business context, you might hear 'お教えします' (o-oshie shimasu), which adds an honorific prefix.
You can use the structure '〜を教えてください' (〜 o oshiete kudasai), which means 'Please teach me 〜.' For example, '日本語を教えてください' (Nihongo o oshiete kudasai) means 'Please teach me Japanese.'
The plain form of 教えます (oshiemasu) is 教える (oshieru). This is the dictionary form and is used in casual conversation or when speaking to people you are close with.
Yes, you absolutely can! 教える (おしえる) is perfect for this. If you are showing someone how to cook a dish, you would say '料理の作り方を教えます' (Ryōri no tsukurikata o oshiemasu), meaning 'I will teach/show you how to make the dish.'
You would say '英語を教えています' (Eigo o oshiete imasu). The -te imasu form indicates an ongoing action or a state of being, so it means 'I am teaching' or 'I teach' (as a profession/regular activity).
The plain past tense is 教えた (oshieta). The polite past tense is 教えました (oshiemashita). For example, 'I taught Japanese' would be '日本語を教えた' (Nihongo o oshieta) or '日本語を教えました' (Nihongo o oshiemaした).
Often, the particle を (o) is used to mark the direct object (what is being taught or told). For example, '日本語を教える' (Nihongo o oshieru - teach Japanese) or '道を教える' (michi o oshieru - tell the way). If you're teaching someone, the particle に (ni) can be used for the indirect object: '生徒に日本語を教える' (Seito ni Nihongo o oshieru - teach Japanese to students).
