    Btw guys, konichiwa is formal so don’t really use it around friends. In the mornings just say “Ohaiyo!” which means good morning in casual Japanese. Guys can use “Yo ___!” to greet friends, not rlly used by girls though. Everyone can say a casual “A, ____!” to greet friends at any time of day.
    “Gomen nasai” is the formal way to say sorry while “Gomen!” Is used in casual Japanese.
    “Oyasuminasai” is the formal way to say good night while “Oyasumi!” Is used in casual Japanese.
    “O genki desu ka” is the formal way to say how are you but casually, you just say “Genki?”
    “Sayonara” is the formal way to say goodbye and if said to friends or family, it is seen as “Goodbye forever…” so a casual way to say it is just “bai bai!”(bye bye!)
    Hope this helped! Keep learning!

      I'll add to the goodbye thing, you can also say "Jaa ne", "Jaa" or "Mata ne" Mata ne is like a "see you later" or "later" for casual conversations with friends, of course.

    Update: I can now watch anime without subtitles but still such a shame because I stopped learning how to read and write Japanese due to laziness so "You" who read this keep going man even if you feel like you don't want to study take it easy watch like 5 mins of lecture every day is enough. Don't be the same as me who stopped learning and regretted the time that I wasted.

    My brother studied languages at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center in California. The pace of study was intense. Students had to master the language course in 36-64 weeks. Psychologically it was very difficult, but fortunately he was helped by Yuriy Ivantsiv's book "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages”. The book " Polyglot Notes" became a desk book for my brother, because it has answers to all the problems that any student of a foreign language has to face. Thanks to the author of the channel for this interesting video! Good luck to everyone who studies a foreign language and wants to realize their full potential

    • @sleepsmartsmashstress740
      @sleepsmartsmashstress740 2 года назад +6

      It is customary in Japan to do that to be polite. But at times they ignore doing that. They small print of Hiragana clues are written above or to the right of the Kenji which are adapted from Mandarin with some modifications. But in some cases the character looks and means the same as in Chinese. Water 水 is called mizu in Japanese and 水 is called Shuǐ in Chinese. Same with telephone and thousands of other words. In some cases although the character is the same the meaning is different in two languages. That makes things tricky.

    • @gurvirsingh963
      @gurvirsingh963 2 года назад +1

      @@Nagitos.Boytoy yes you are supposed to learn both. Kanji is the big complicated letters like 弔 and they are just words. Every kanji is a word and some even have multiple meanings. Hiragana is used in between words for things like to, from, or extremely simple words might be written in hiragana sometimes. It can also be used on top of kanji to help people understand how the kanji is pronounced (in this case it's called furigana). Hopefully that helps let me know if it didn't

    Just a little tip, some words should be used in a specified context. For example, saying hello should be dictated by the time of day.  こんばんわ (Konbanwa) means good evening, is meant for when it’s getting dark. こんにちわ (konnichiwa ) is used most generally and best for noon and after. おはよございます (Ohayo Gozaimasu) means good morning, and of course meant for morning time. When you’re saying bye, it’s really best not to say さよなら (sayonara) when it’s casual, as it’s like saying farewell, a permanent goodbye. Instead of sayonara, just saying ‘Bye Bye’ works just fine too.

      that's one of my biggest complaints with japanese lessons. they teach direct translations too often which aren't really how the words are used in real life. the way it's taught you would think it's so common, but in 4 months of living in japan i have never heard someone say さようなら

      @@xdtimetoastergaming273 yup cuz the お or the O at the start is a prefex to show respect , but with family you can shorten the sentence and remove the O to be more friendly , using the O with family can seem a bit cold , the ですか(desu ka) can also be removed since you're speaking casually !
