I'm Japanese-American. As long as I can understand the intent of a message I will not mind how its delivered. I know that calling the first Lady "Madam First Lady" is a sign of respect.
If native English speakers like you didn't feel any harm from his tweet, what did harsh comments by many Japanese mean? They were just accusing him for the sake of accusation. It is evident that they are not true English speakers, that's why.
For me as long as the messages understood.. Great enough.. Maybe we better keep in mind that's.. ' don't judge others by our standard '..especially those whose different cultures n countries... Accept n respect should always be priorities..
No one should fault PM Suga, English being not his first language, We should not expect him to use Queen’s English, and to me, the tweet he wrote was understandable and decent.
Language is only a tool of communication as in delivering the message by the sender and understanding the context by the receiver. Grammar and such is only matters when the context is interpreted wrongly. The fact that on the receiver's side already express the understanding of the sender's intention, communication process was completed and that is the only thing that matters. We Malaysian communicate with mixed language and no one bothers to correct each other as long as it is understandable. If not, just ask to clarify. Some people are overreacting to such extend it is irritating. Don't take everything in life so serious, no one gets out alive anyway. Hah! 😋
Totally agree with you. And that's what I learned from Malaysians in your country. If I hadn't stayed in Malaysia, I would have never launched this channel, haha.Thanks!!
Hi Kecos, thank you for uploading an interesting video again :) I'm 100% with you on the first subject. Nobody on international level checks if grammar is 100% correct as long as the meaning is transmitted properly. The majority of world citizens are not native English speakers and we use it as our second language. As for Ora Ora Kei cars, i like the custom style trims of cars that also have lots of chrome. Have you seen Honda cars for the Market in China? They look very bold with dynamic chrome face. Also Toyota is selling Crown, Alphard and Vellfire there. Japanese car trend for me is smart. They customize looks for the car, but the car itself is still compact and very practical. In Germany many people buy SUV, that are very broad and have no space for proper parking, while they are inside still narrow and unpractical.
Hi, Kamuichan! Thank you as always for watching the video. We like German cars too, and they are still emblematic for successful persons. Actually, my brother in law owns Folks wargen. Its roundness design has long been attracting us for years. BTW, I uploaded this video's info at "Japan Auto Info" yesterday. Appears it is still suspended. I'd be delighted if you check it out. Thank you.
@@LostinHokkaido hi Kecos. Ive seen Your post and was happy. Right now I'm in vacation at my aunts ranch, will return on Wednesday. I'll definetely have a look on it once I'm back on my pc and make it work :)
@@LostinHokkaido You're most welcome. Oh wow, how did you like your stay there? I remember seeing several vast farms in Hokkaido when my ex-wife drove us to sightseeing from Sapporo eastward to Kushiro. They had big silos and harvesting machines. All was very peaceful 😍😊
@@Kamuichan99 Actually, the header photo here is the one that I had taken at a farm stay. twitter.com/Kecos48 Just stayed at a small village in the foot of Canadian rocky for a month, but unforgettable memory in my life. Yup, we have a plenty of silos in the eastern Hokkaido. The farmers there are mostly rich too, lol.
Oh my lord.... Even my english are good in reading sentence but Poor in speaking or pronunciation....but I'm still practice to speak even my word when speaking to other poeples.
While in Malaysia, one of the most wonderful things in the country is that you built up a permissble society for anyone to expose any English regardless your proficiency. Malaysians know it is the best way to learn foreign language as well!
I'm shock about the news that pm Suga being criticism on twitter, I read the twitter that he wrote, and I can still understand what he is trying to say even though there are some word that he no need to use it. For sure as long as you understand what the people trying to say to you in "English" for me it wasn't a problem. But I'm curious why some people need to judge pm Suga English barrier? 😬 At least he show some effort that he care about others.
It is really Japanese thing to bully by finding faults with others in English. Such intimidation called peer pressure leads us to even poorer surroundings to learn forein language. It's kinda visicous circle.
@@LostinHokkaido Oooo~ That 'orraa~!'. Now I get it. Yeah, I heard that one a lot from old Yakuza movies and anime too. Along with the words 'Teme' & 'Kisama' too. Hai, wakarimasu.
This is just another case of pot calling the kettle black. Seriously, all these critics should take a look at themselves (or hear themselves) before they want to judge other people's English. The PM obviously doesn't mean any harm when he sent those well wishes, and I'm a multilingual person. The fact that English is not a widely spoken language in Japan is already common knowledge to the world. Personally, I think the Japanese only want to criticize to people that can understand their own language so that they wont feel inferior about themselves. No wonder Japan kept changing their PM every few years... EDIT: In my honest opinion, there is NOTHING wrong grammatically with his original tweet other than the "Madam" part. Talk about making a mountain out of an anthill...
[ pot calling the kettle black ] [ make a mountain out of an anthill ] Haha, you told me the provebs to the point on this situation!! Thank you! That's for sure. The fact that English is not a widely spoken language in Japan is already common knowledge to the world. → The trouble is that Japanese don't know tha fact and strongly beielve that they can keep concealing it, haha.
For me, criticize because lack of knowledge and understanding english it's not ok.at least he/she tried to communicate with foreigners and some of them will understand what they say.and i understand some japanese cant understand and speak english because they never meet any international people and english just for study,not for conversation.thats why some japanese and other non english speakers country have this kind problem.
Totally agree. I've never felt offended when I was spoken by Non-Japanese speakes with wrong grammers. Whay really disturbing me is that some Japanese want to tease non-Japanese speakers because of grammertical erros of Japanese in spite of the fact that they don't speak any foreign language.
Lol I don't think Trump cares about how good or bad the Japanese PM's English is. "Rude" is not an issue here. I don't think any English speaker would feel offended by "wrong grammar" used by non-native English speaker (to be honest I think Trump's own English isn't that good either). These people are just complaining for the sake of complaining.
Glad you enjoyed the video. I am too afraid to inform the Japanese of my channel because they are into checking grammers rather than the content itself, haha.
PM Suga tried his tweeting skills in sending message to Trump. Obviously wrong timing as anything to do with ‘Trump’ now are closely watched and will be severely criticised. As Trump is not at all popular. Strange of why PM Office’a communication section did not screen his message before sending? Of which should be the correct protocol for all to be officially recorded.
Hi, Khaw-san. In my view, he used Google translation and just sent it without screening because it is natural expression in literal translation to Japanese language. Yes, I agree that his subbordiates would have helped him. Many politicans of that age have difficulty handling SNS except Taro Kono. He speaks English very fluently too. twitter.com/konotarogomame
1. People always criticize you whether you are good or bad at something there is always someone whose does not like you. It's hard to please everybody. 2. It's a pity that happened, I might sound paranoid but I get it why the gov do that because that event might be another platform for illegal items/ substances trafficking using innocent children. 3. That must really hurt the alligator's pride the carnivorous animal reduced to sounding like it's pray. On a different matter, I hope they didn't use those extract vanilla components in the food industry (that is just... ) 4. “Ora-Ora-Kei” I don't know much about cars but they do looked like your car's twin. Lol. Haven't seen you and your car travelling these past few vlog. I hope both of you are well. Sorry for the long comment. I'm just giving it my opinion. Good info btw.
I am moved to see your kind comments! You gave each comment to each topic. Really appreicate it! Actually, I still enjoy my weekend vanlife, and keep upgrading the interior to suit myself more comfortably in the car. I am still on the way of seeking of the best mix between what I can offer you and what you wish to watch, haha.
@@LostinHokkaido What viewers wants to see is important but keep in mind that what you enjoy doing is equally important. Don't push yourself too hard just to please people. I'm thankful that you are still making videos. Hope you have a wonderful week.
Japan should look high on someone who can speak 2 or 3 or 4 language even tho they language are not perfect 100% . If you talk to the amarican in Japanese they don't understand. Perfect English is not a sign of intelligent it is just a skill. If you can do more then this 1 skill now that is intelligent I like when Japanese speaking other languages with Japanese accent. That is your identity
Hi, thank you very much for your comment. Japanese people evaluate those who are multilingual on the one hand, but they are subject to strony jeolousy on the other. Hence, the people are more likely find faunlts with speakers.
That's what I really respect Malaysians and Singaporeans. They never tease someone's errors and always encourage us for the improvement of the proficiency. Japanese must learn from them!
@@LostinHokkaido It's obvious since we live in a multicultural country. In Sabah alone there are over 50 ethics and just as much languages/ dialects. It's a great achievements if you could learn just half of them. Even some phrases in different languages can open up some invisible barriers! (provided that they are polite words. Although it's also good to know some swear words just in case someone is insulting you)
Well..the best,best,average,low,nothing...we got it all...take the best out of each and blend...well the taste mayb unique but hey sugar and salt has yet to b add
