• 10 MUST-KNOW FACTS abo...
In this video, I explained how to say "hi" in 7 different situations. I started off with 3 very basic greetings, then moved onto CASUAL WAYS to say "Hi" to friends! Those are actually used in real life among native speakers. The last two phrases are lost in translation. They only exist in Japanese. Meaning...? If you could use them correctly, you will sound MORE LIKE NATIVE SPEAKERS!
The last phrase "お疲れ様です { おつかれさまです | otsukaresamadesu } (formal)", I only explained the use in casual situations such as meeting up with your friends. However, the phrase is also used to say "hi" at work among the people in the same company.

When I lived in Japan I picked up on adding “あ” before greetings and other phrases. After moving back to the US it took a while for me to stop adding “あ” before things 😂
My friends and I actually use ’あ’ all the time, they don't even know that it's a 日本 thing. We started doing this before I even knew.
@@SyM-Prisoner627 it just comes so naturally, I’m surprised more people don’t do it

I was taught that "Otsukare" was a greeting you gave when you're meeting a friend who went out of their way to see you. Like if they came to see you right after work or had a busy schedule but still made time to meet you. It was to show that you appreciate them making time for you even though they had other obligations.
Otsukaresamadesu…ta? Was the first phase a coworker taught me when I first got to Japan and I was always told to really only say it to my coworkers as I was leaving? I’m embarrassed to say I didn’t learn a lot while I was there but with the possibility of going back in a few years I’m trying to learn now.
Can i say it over text?
Otsukaresama to a friend is only used if he or she pays a visit from long distance away, taking a long trip over hours to see you.
@@lurkmerchantYou are completely wrong
My friend taught me that Otsukaresamadesu is like saying "thank you for your hard work" and in a work setting is usually exchanged between coworkers nearing the end of the day. Just a general way to show respect and appreciation to your fellow coworkers but used like a generic greeting in the afternoon. Osewaninarimashita is similar however that's more so thanking someone specifically for their help or the work/task that they accomplished not just showing respect for their general work ehtic.

Spread your legs.
For お邪魔します, in English we would say something like 'sorry to bother', 'I'm sorry to bother you,' or, very formally, 'may I intrude for a moment?'.
I’ve literally been studying Japanese for years and you have broken down the language in your videos so much quicker and simpler than any class or app or program I’ve been too! Love your videos! Thank you!
Right?! It's nice to hear Japanese that's actually used

I can’t remember the kanji tho- if there even is kanji for it
@@Fennwer You could have found the kanji in less time it took to tell everyone you don't know if there even is kanji, you complete jackass
I really want to thank you. In the beginning, I was watching your videos in addition to the RUclips translation below, but now you have improved not only your Japanese videos, but also the English ones, and I can watch the video just by listening. Thank you for using simple methods and easy-to-understand terminology❤
You are fabulous in unpacking these everyday phrases!
Excellent video! Fun fact I love about 邪魔 is that it really means "evil demon", and came to mean "hindrance" in Japanese because it specifically designed evil demons that tried to hinder Boddhisattva Shakyamuni's ascension to the status of Buddha
so when you say お邪魔します technically you're literally saying "I'm being a demon preventing you from entering nirvana" and I find that immensely funny.
The more I learn Japanese, the more I admire its politeness, its sense nuances' wealth, its subtle expressiveness and so on. It includes so much elegance, feelings, tastefullness, attractive sophistication in it! It is very interesting amazing and beautiful language so much differing from other languages of the world. Thanks a lot for the video, 尊敬される先生 !
What is your opinion on other Asian languages ?
@@montysharma8271 I think every Asian (I suppose not only Asian) language has its own distinctive fragrance like every flower has. In general most of them are interesting mysterious and attractive ones clothed in luxury colourful garments of their own writing systems and singing its personal weird cryptic and exotic song that only laborious researcher (loving linguistics and/or philology) can resolve and understand.
@@78lerusse You are right. Fully agree 👍🏼
That sounds like Patrick Bateman describing Paul Allen's business card :D
@@montysharma8271 Most Asian languages are nearly as different from each other as they are from European languages, though Japanese and Korean are rather similar in terms of sound, grammar, and often actual words. However, the Korean writing system is one of the most interesting in the world to me.
Your gesture makes them easier to remember
I'm a teacher myself (I teach French) ... I can't believe how good your teaching is !!!
It's absolutely perfect !!!
I can't possibly praise you enough !!!
I learnt a lot ...
And I enjoyed myself thoroughly.
Now I LOVE Japanese language and culture even more !!!
Thanks to you.
So helpful and funny to watch, as always ❤️ 本当に凄い。ありがとう、Sayaka!
You look energetic, and I like the way you explain. You create positive energy for viewers.
As someone attempting to learn Japanese, These videos are super helpful! Thank you!
Being half japanese and having a full japanese mother really helps with this! I already sort of inferred the context for a lot of these greetings because of how we talked. I am nowhere near fluent in the language, mainly because my mom prefers to speak english at home, but we do use fairly common japanese greetings or even speak occasionally in it. But my linguistic still is very scattered and I regret not learning it holistically when I was a kid.
Its never too late to learn.
Bruh I’m the exact same and my name is also Kevin… wtf lmao
Having 3 Japanese kids, it is REALLY TOUGH to bring up a child with a native level in Japanese if you're in America or some other country. With all my kids, we tried to use exclusively Japanese with them before 5 years old. All TV shows, preschool, piano lessons, baseball lessons -- all in Japanese. After starting (US) kindergarten, every Saturday was full-day Japanese Saturday school. To give you a gauge of how far we went with it, my middle son was in ESL classes until third grade.
Now, the only one who really comes off as a native would be my oldest (though the other two are pretty fluent in Japanese, it doesn't fool Japanese people)
As an anime watcher who really loves Haikyuu, I couldn't help but notice that you said that "yahhoo" is mostly used by girls, but ladies' man Oikawa Tooru uses it a lot as well, and it's kind of become his trademark.
Edit: I also want to add in this other way to say hi, though I guess it's more like "I'm back" or "I'm home"- "tadaima", and the response is "okaeri", welcome home.
Same 🤣
oikawa also calls almost everybody nickname-chan which is a very feminine thing to do as well (there were other things he says using a pretty feminine way of speaking but i can't really recall atm)
I was just watching haikyuu I am on season 4 episode 22
Best one is chibi Chan
Anime watchers are uniting here I see
Thank you so much Sayaka-san for your content! I will put your next content on my Japanese learning list.

I wanted to use "ussu" so bad because it's so comfortable (first heard it from Haikyuu) but I'm a girl.
I wanna yahoo but am a boy. Why are we still here... just to suffer. 😭
@@Doki_LP You can still use it. No one says you have to follow the usual rules.
You can definitely use Ussu. It may be mainly used by boys but no one says you can't be a little tomboyish.
@@danielantony1882 Thx
@@Doki_LP The catch is that you might sound a little feminine. You can use it if that's not an issue. It can be seen as cute, depending on who hears you say it.
This was a great explanation! I thought いらっしゃいませ could be explained too, I’ve heard it so many times but I can only understand it as a greeting but I don’t know the meaning. Thanks for the work! お疲れ様でした!
It’s exclusive to shop staff. You’d never want to use it in everyday speech unless you’re working as shop staff.
Edit: sorry, forgot to add it means „Welcome to the store“ or „Come in“. There is also no response to irasshaimase.
I’m surprised she didn’t mention that おはよう (good morning, informal) is sometimes used in the late afternoon or early evening. The situation would be if you were entering your workplace at 6 PM, some coworkers might say to you おはよう！because they are seeing you for the first time that day.
I'm Japanese but I had never heard おはようbeing used in the way you described. Maybe language has changed in 20 years.
Well it is rare to be sure. I lived and worked in Japan for 20 years and was greeted this way only 3 or 4 times. The first time I had to check with a different co-worker that I actually heard what I thought I heard. "Yes, we sometimes do that. Strange, right?" @@lurkmerchant
Yes, normal people in regular jobs also sometimes use おはようございます in the afternoon. It's not the norm but it's not limited to TV personalities. If you work in a company that has people working late shifts, it's actually not uncommon to greet them with おはようございます the first time you see them regardless of time of day.
If I may allow myself. You answered your own question. In France too(and anywhere’s), we can often say "hello/hi" in the evening, or in the middle of the night; because we start our day in nighttime. It's truly not common for the norm, just… contextual.😅
This is one of the best language breakdown videos I've ever seen.
Of course its extremely rudimentary Japanese but the structure and layup is phenomenal.
Enough explanation around the word and what the actual *direct translation* is.
This helps enormously with understanding how and why you should use them a certain way instead of just teaching you you should.
This makes it easier to remember.
But its also not enough to overwhelm you with information.
Probably helps that your English is *very* good.
It also feels very casual and friendly as many other videos feels like I'm back in elementary school.
The kind of "take note, we removing on" kinda feel.
This video is very well paced, not rushed at all.
Top it off with a hint of humor is like sprinkles on top of a perfect cake.
I knew pretty much all of these phrases already, I've been fascinated by Samurai movies, books and Anime for 25-30 years.
Just recently I've had enough time to actually start looking into the language.
(Ever since TMNT xD) I still learned quite a bit from this video, mostly WHY you only say them at specific times and what they REALLY mean.
It explains a lot and makes me also understand why there are such huge variations on a lot of subtitles xD
Yes, I liked the video.
Yes, I subscribed to your channel.
Yes, I'm looking forward to diving into the rest of your content.
Excellent video.
Arigatou Gozaimasu
Finally, somebody who explains the meaning of the alphabet, the culture and the words!!! Such an amazing work! Sayaka, you make Japanese so easily understandable! Arigatoo.
I really appreciate this channel. Helps with vocabulary and situational understanding. ありがとうございます、あやかさん。
Brilliant explanations thank you x
Loving how you explain the usage of words culturally as well
Thank you very much for the insight! I'm blown away by the expression _"Otsukaresamadesu"_ because in my mother language we have the same saying _"hadotampiye"_ which very loosely translates to _"you came with tiredness"_ and it's said when someone arrives from work or a long trip.
Cool! What language is that?
It has a similar meaning in Persian, too... "khaste nabashiid" = lit. "don't be tired"
So all I need to say is Ohio to say good morning?
pretty much, yeah! just say ohayo
@@MoiiiiiiInfamous Ohio. Lol

Very informative. Thank you
For someone who is learning Japanese and knows lots of vocabulary, this is still somewhat helpful
I’m traveling to Japan next year. I’m trying to learn as much Japanese as I can before I go. I have fully learned hiragana and katakana. Of course I do have to learn textbook style because I don’t have anybody who speaks Japanese in my life. I really am grateful that I found your channel. This will help me a lot when I actually go visit in person. ありがとう!
😌
Hi
I hope you've learned a lot. It GREATLY enriches the experience.
Learning pure textbook style will limit you a lot, though, so I hope you found the channel useful or other resources. The first time I heard natural japanese I had difficulty with it even though I knew the words, just because "-masu" form had been drilled into my head so hard that I didn't know what to do without it.
Plus I traveled to an area of Japan with a somewhat heavy dialect (for example, "erai" meant exhausted rather than awesome.)
Very entertaining video. I knew the first three. When one answers the telephone the person will say moshi moshi.
You are so helpful. I appreciate you very much. Thank you.
I teach japanese, and i learned a lot from your video. Your way of explaining things is so neat! Keep it up, waiting for more videos like this from you ❤️
Oh, where do you teach Japanese at?
Ojamashimasu can also be used as a thank you for the hospitality. Just turn it into past tense ‘ojamashimashita’. Same goes for otsukaresamadesu on different situation (at work). Although Japanese is difficult, some aspects of learning the language are easy.
I love your videos they are so fun and educational, keep up the good work!
thank you so much! this is perfect for notes and its easy to follow along :) i've been trying to learn japanese for about 2 months now and i cant say im good but your channel will definitely help ^^
私も好き日本語 because of the beauty in how speech carries a lot of emotion yet none at the same time
I moved to フランス which started my life-long hobby of learning 言語, and Japanese is my 第五 after Chinese.
I think it's actually 私も本語が好きです.
I'm still learning so..
@@gioconda01 That is correct.
@@gioconda01 you forgot the 日 before 本, but your sentence is right
@@Ai99573 yeah I forgot , thanks for the correction 😷
With the "Ah" word or also "ēto" I find it similar to how English has filler words but we use 'like' and 'um'. Sometimes theres negative stereotypes with overuse (ex. vallygirl filler words) but to most native speakers they are very natural and make you feel at ease I feel this is very similar.
Always a pleasure to see you such a good mood 😊
This is very helpful bc i just started learning Japanese and I wanted to know how to greet people properly :)
Otsukaresamadesu!

The amusing thing is that "long time no see" came into English as a literal translation from Chinese (I think Mandarin?), so we are using Chinese/English to explain Japanese! Ha!

Just want to say, that I worked at a Japanese bar for 7 years, and we started each shift (that started around 7pm) with 'ohayou gozaimasu,' or sometimes just 'o-ha' depending on who we were speaking to.
I understand that greeting is standard in the water trade and the entertainment industry regardless of the time of day.
