Learn Japanese? -1-

I believe some of our supporters are interested in Japanese language...
So we introduce some Japanese here today.



Good Morning - OHAYO-
Good Afternoon - KON NICHI WA
Good Evening - KON BAN WA

Good Bye - SAYONARA
See You - MATANE

Excuse me - SUMIMASEN
Yes - Hai
No - I I E

※ "OTSUKARESAMA"
I guess you have heard this word if you have any Japanese friends around you.
This is very common word in Japan.
It used to acknowledge someone's efforts or show your appreciation for the trouble that they have gone through. "Tsukare" means tiredness or fatigue.
But Now, it is something along the lines of “you must be tired,” but it carries with it the implied meaning of “…after working so hard.” It’s essentially the equivalent to the English “nice work.” It’s something you say to a classmate, co-worker, or teammate after a hard day of school/work/sports.
For example, you can say it to players after games.


GIVE IT TRY!

If you have any question about Japanese, do not hesitate to ask us.
