@@nyardi she says it's so fast that I couldn't make it out and I had to ask a friend what she was saying and now I can't unhear it. Love the catch phrase
They don’t. “Nice to meet you” is for the first time just like hajimemashte. “Nice to see you” is the phrase people sometimes use for when you see them again. But it’s only if you haven’t seen them for at least a few months.
They actually would use "Nice to see you" when seeing someone they've already met. You can even use it when leaving but change it to the past tense "It was nice to see you".
I think in this context, the key is also "the first phrase said" to the person, and the context of why you don't say it in Japanese as you leave. It's not entirely unheard of to meet someone in America, introduce yourself, and then as you leave, instead of just "well bye!" You end it on a positive "it was nice to meet you/nice meeting you!" . That fits OK in an American context but would be weird if anywhere BUT like...first phrase in Japan, if I understand correctly.
A lot of textbooks and apps introduce it as “nice to meet you” but I would translate it more as “I’m looking forward to our friendship” etc. it’s used in a lot of different contexts and lost in translation…
Yep, I said it to a person I had apparently met 10 years ago. Their face literally changed as if they died a little inside right before me. I still can’t get over how bad I made them feel.
As someone who has in fact forgotten about meeting people more than once in the past 😅this was very hard for me in Japan. I usually just let them speak to me first😂

In English you can only say nice to meet you to someone once. After that you would say "nice to see you" when you greet each other, and you could say "nice seeing you" when parting. If it has been a long time, you can say "nice meeting up with you" when leaving too.
For me, i learn common kanji and "hajimemashite" seems like using the verb "hajimaru" which means "to begin" Other verb form i remember: Hajimaru Hajimemasu Hajimemasen >>>Hajimemashita Hajimemasendeshita Hajimete 😅
Ja sensei is the best app you will ever find to learn Japanese. I use it. It will provide you every single thing kana, kanji, grammer, counters, particles, stories, audio from native speaker and even Japanese culture. But you will have to pay for it. Once you buy it you can use it for life time. You will have to pay 1500 rupee for it.
Most of what is said here also applies to “Nice to meet you”. It should be one of the first things you say, and it should be on the first meeting. However, as she says, you can use “again” with “Nice to meet you” which you can’t with 「初めまして」. Of course, a big problem with non-native English speakers (and, for some reason, most Americans) is being unable to tell the difference between “Nice to meet you, again” and “Nice to see you, again”.
Thanks. Not everyone explains the literal meaning. Which I think is important because while the usage is similar, you're saying something completely different from "Nice to meet you".
Although in English it’s usually “nice to see you again”, not “nice to meet you again”. If someone said “nice to meet you again” it usually means they are not a native English speaker, and they mixed up both phrases.
I never considered saying it a second time, I just don’t tell ppl it’s nice to meet you again after saying it bc I’m not meeting them I already know them
Please explain the differences between Demo, Dakedo/Kedo and Desuga/Daga since it have the same meaning which is "But". I mean, how and when to use it. Thank you!
Ok but that’s what we already knew, now I wanna know how to say “it was nice to meet you” when leaving or how to say “nice to meet you again” when meeting for the second time, please 😅
Saying "Hajimemasite" when leaving is like saying "Hello, nice to meet you" when you're about to leave. 😂 Also that's "it's nice to see you again" word was "Hisasiburi", or "久しぶり"
I just read a book that said Japanese people even don't say ” こんにちわ“ again if they meet the same person for the 2nd time etc for that day. What word could be the replacement? How about おはよう and こんばんわ? ありがとう before🙏 P. S: And there is me that sometimes forgot if I did meet them or not for today 😂😂😂. Is it yesterday? 😂
So if Hajimemashite is used only once in a introductory situation, is there really a Japanese phrase for "It was a pleasure to meet you" when you are leaving?
This sentence as a greeting is very weird and robotic. You could maybe say it after greetings have been exchanged, but certainly not as the first thing when you meet someone.
What about "Yoroshiku" I heard this word from Luffy first introduction like Orewa Monkey D luffy Yoroshiku hehe😅 is it correct since Google just say it differently.
That’s what I thought, I’ve been using Duolingo for a bit and it teaches どうぞよろしく (douzoyorosiku) as nice to meet you This chick makes me second guess Duolingo now 🤣
@@conorgarry97stop using duolingo immediately. It’s horrible. Also, どうぞよろしく is a little hard to completely hit in a translation, but it’s kind of “I’m looking forward to our friendship” or “we will be great friends”, as she also explained otherplace in the comment section.
yoroshku onegaishimas is to be said when you leave the person after talking to them. Hajimemashite is used at the beginning, when meeting someone for the first time ever. Then when you have finished chatting with the person and want to leave, you will say "yoroshku onegaishimasu"
@@jennsuicune where have you possibly learned this? That is not when よろしくお願いします is used at ALL よろしくお願いします is a set phrase usually used when starting an activity, expressing a desire to get along, if that makes sense. It’s hard to translate.

The question is why English speakers use “nice to meet you” for other reasons than meeting someone from the first time…
(From a French guy)
They don’t. “Nice to meet you” is for the first time just like hajimemashte.
“Nice to see you” is the phrase people sometimes use for when you see them again. But it’s only if you haven’t seen them for at least a few months.
If you have memory loss, it might be useful after the first time. haha
They actually would use "Nice to see you" when seeing someone they've already met. You can even use it when leaving but change it to the past tense "It was nice to see you".
I think in this context, the key is also "the first phrase said" to the person, and the context of why you don't say it in Japanese as you leave.

I remember hajimemashite from "Hajime" which means start. That's why it can only be used once per person.
Danke für die ausführliche Erklärung. Jetzt muss ich mir auch noch merken, ob ich die Person schon einmal begrüßt habe 😂😂😂😂❤

When are you suppoed to say dozouyoroushiku? I learned that from duolingo and was kinda used to saying that

yeah... i would never use 처음뵙겠습니다 in korean to people i met before... same use as hajimemashite... quite literally. hajime = 처음, mashite = 뵙겠습니다
Thanks!
Thank you 🥺🙌🏻
Sounds like only hello i need
Saying "Hajimemasite" when leaving is like saying "Hello, nice to meet you" when you're about to leave. 😂
Also that's "it's nice to see you again" word was "Hisasiburi", or "久しぶり"
What happened to Dozo Yorishiko? Can we still use this?
Thank you!

So if Hajimemashite is used only once in a introductory situation, is there really a Japanese phrase for "It was a pleasure to meet you" when you are leaving?
Yes, it's yoroshku onegaishimas
me: throws hajimemashite in japan like aloha in hawaii
So what do you use for the second time onwards?
A normal hello, probably
「おい、貴様！」 is the correct setphrase there.
That would be "yoroshku onegaishimas" said at the end before leaving the person
@@jennsuicune why do you keep replying with this? It’s not correct at all.
@@HivoltageCS Ok, so what's the correct answer, in kana or romaji, please ?
The Japanese words for cute and afraid are very close to sounding the same also...Well, back in the late 70s anyway.
I also heard the word Douzo yoroshiku for nice to meet you but how we can use that word...
is hisashiburi widely used, and if it is, does it have meaning of "hi" just for friends
It is widely used, but only if it’s been a while since you’ve met the other person.
@@HivoltageCS ok, thank yo
For The First Time no Ippo
Hajimemashite is comes from haji.meru(始める)(to start) verb, right? So if we say shite is te form of verb suru. Hajimemashite would be like make a start
No, the kanji is different. 初 vs 始 (It’s in the video.)
Sayaka: Oh you forgot about me?!?…….
Me: No way.. I will never forget you……. 💘😂
🥳🇺🇸💚💚💚🇯🇵🥳
So true
What about "dozoyoroshiku"???
so what do we say when we’re leaving after the fact that we met them, like “it was nice meeting you”
Womder if a follower ever said hajimemashite to Sayaka more than once 😅😂
