Thank you for the information Ghib. Yes... I understand and I respect the way of the Japanese. I'm a born Singaporean, ethnic Han Chinese. I love both Japan and China since very young. Being a Christian (Catholic) myself, I always pray for the good friendship between Japan and China. 中日友好...
The three things you mentioned are culturally specific - two is specific to the Japanese, and one is to Singapore. The name card/business card thing is VERY specific to the Japanese. When I joined the JICA trip to Japan in 1998, we were "educated" on the importance the Japanese ascribed to business cards. We were told to respectfully receive any cards offer, and to proffer our cards with two hands, with (as you mentioned) the card facing the recipient. Also, after receiving the card, one should give it adequate attention (study the card for a moment), and then if we are having a discussion or meeting, to put the card on the table in front of us, not into our pockets or file. Punctuality is another Japanese virtue. If the meeting is at 9, we can expect the organisers to call us at 8.50 to ask if we have trouble getting to the meeting. The Singapore delegates were quite efficient and would be "on time", but would be deemed "late" by our Japanese hosts. The delegates from the other ASEAN countries had more "flexible" definition of being on time. I would say we are not the worst, but we are not afraid of getting there. :-) As for "Jap", Singaporeans mean no disrespect. But then again, we don't mean alot of things, and we don't think too much about possible discourtesies. I found out that "oriental" is supposedly pejorative. I am not insulted by it. I take things in context. If intended as a pejorative, even "Chinese" can be intended to insult. There is much to admire and aspire to in Japanese culture and social norms. Singapore would be a nicer place if we had the social and cultural norms of Japan.
Growing up in Singapore during my childhood in the 90s, my parents taught and told me that being late is seen as being disrespectful even though I have been late on some occasions. I don't think it's just Japan where being late is seen as disrespectful.
In Germany, there is a similar term called "Japse" pronounced "Yapse" or "ヤップセ”, but it is a racist term, which discriminates japanese people or even asian people in general.
I have heard of similar stories. I learn japanese, and there was once my teacher shared about how one had to wear socks while entering a japanese person's home. She also told us that she saw some people on forums talking about this. For example, a woman living in Singapore was quite upset when the aircon man didn't wear socks when he entered her home. It was interesting to learn more about japan in this video too!
To summarise in case TLDW: 1. Don't use the short form term "Jap", because it's considered rude or racist. Say the full thing - Japanese 2. Don't hand out name cards with one hand and upside down. Do it with both hands, right side up for the receiver. 3. Don't be late. Ever
true Venett For the No.2 and 3, they might be acceptable, but for no.3 you have to re-consider if you use any racist term. You should not hurt anyone by using any racist term
Finally a famous Japanese in Singapore raises this term, which I don't even feel comfortable to type it out because all these while I know its not a nice word. All these years I have been trying to explain to those who use/say it, but they choose not to believe. I guess its easier to hear from a native. As for handling a business/name card. This is actually quite common business etiquette, which I be surprised if any Singaporeans actually don't know... 😥 However, one bad namecard habit I seen before in Singapore, is the person after receiving your namecard, he/she may start writing memo on the card while talking to you. 😨 Probably to that person, this is to remember details of you, but this is very very disrespectful.
for myself, it has also come to a point that the moment I hear that word leave someone's mouth, my opinion of them just plunges, because i instantly see them on the side of the americans hating japanese-americans during WW2. just because it is less known to singaporeans in general doesn't legitimise it as an excuse. people like to use the "ignorance is bliss" excuse these days as well. there was even once i told off someone on using that term, and some time later, the term came back. i just gave up trying to correct that person. that aside, the attitude comes from various factors like pride, or even seeing foreigners as "not fit".
@@CarbineKiller The right thing to do is not to use it and if you had not knowingly used it and people told you about it, apologised immediately and stop using the word. The same goes for any other derogatory words.
Ixac Tan Yesss!!!! I was also shocked at the beginning when I heard local people use the racist term Jap. Although I have been living in Singapore for a long time, I still hate people using Jap. Probably local people don’t mean anything racist but I still feel offended to be honest. Most of Japanese people including myself don’t want to be rude to them, so we don’t stop them or don’t fight with them, and just pretend not to be offended or upset when they use Jap. However, it’s true that non of Japanese people feel happy whenever we hear Jap because we all learned this is a racist term just like “nixga” we never use it to black people
When I learnt the language, I also picked up all these Japanese manners along the way. I really love the Japanese manners especially the name card etiquette. I practise that and I get kind of annoyed when people just pass me their cards with one hand or upside down 😂😂😂 And yes I’ve been correcting people who use the term “Jap” around me since I was a student. I don’t like it, but I didn’t know it was used by racist in other countries. This is a good heads up video. People should stop shortening it! Not as if we shorten other races/countries so we should be fair to all. 🤗
I actually thought that giving out name card with both hands and the name facing the recipient a basic etiquette (regardless of where you come from) haha. Anyway, I've learnt quite a bit from this video. Thanks for sharing!
Definitely not. I'd say here (Finland) the most common way to give them is to use one hand and hand out the card sideways. Not that business cards are that common here anyway.
Interesting 😊 Sometimes I use the word “jap” too, but among locals only. So far in my jobs we have the same practice of handing out and lining up the name cards, as what you described as how Japanese do. But I think it is true that business rules are not that strict here.

Yeah I noticed that in Japan they use both of their hands when giving and receiving something. I have never seen someone do that here in northern Europe but I think it's a very kind and respectful mannerism.
Being late too is really bad etiquette in Singapore especially for the older generations. My dad used to tell me you cannot be earlier than 5 mins or later than 5 mins for meetings.
What about doing a compilation video of Japanese cuisine you found in Singapore that is on par with what you had on Japan? Even though Singapore has a lot of food from other cultures, it's always not authentic, or changed to suit local taste buds. It's hard to find truly authentic food at affordable prices. You could dig up old videos to compile while in this quarantine period!
hello hello! this video just got reccomended to me haha as a singaporean,, i would like to apologise om behalf of my fellow citizens. most of us arent aware that the term "J*p" is actually a racial slur. im really sorry if you heard this term being used alot :(( great video btw!! keep up the great work :D
I have a funny story! I’m working in a japanese mnc in singapore. So one time a client came over and we did our introductions. I bowed but the Japanese client raised his hand to shake and i banged my head on his hand 😅 Next we did the opposite! Then we finally blushed and we both bowed and shook hands at the same time... 🙈 The term Jap, actually i learnt that this is offensive, not from my Japanese friends but from my american friends in one of the online games we were playing together. The americans I met were very strongly against using this term so that’s how I learnt not to shorten it like this. Instead we use japanese or jp for short. I’m singaporean by the way.
The thing about being late, as a Singaporean, I can relate 😂😂This country is small, so it doesn't rrl take long for us to travel from East to West,North to South. But for my case, I usually estimate the time I need to get there, and leaves my house on the dot. If I am late, probably either the bus came later than usual or the MRT breakdown. (Becuz most of the time, they are always punctual)
Actually interesting thing about why linguistically or in slang singaporeans tend to shorten everything, it comes from our starting point as a multi-racial colony where barely anyone had a common language between them. So early Singapore - early independent Singapore relied on people communicating in the most “simplistic” ways in each other’s languages. With English thrown in as the common/unifying language, a lot of the words get shortened because of this need that existed to get our points across to each other as quickly and effectively as possible without a care about whether the language used was grammatically correct or not. This is the basis of Singlish, but I think it affects how our newer slang words get “created” as well. To many Singaporeans, it’s always about the fastest and most effective way to get a point across (you can see it in how we have variations of “can” like ‘can lah’, ‘can leh’, ‘can lorh’)
Thanks for mentioning the first point. I have tried many years to tell my friends don't say that, but people really didn't know that it is rude. As for point 2 and 3, that's the appropriate business / daily manners regardless in which country, but unfortunately some people never bother to take note. There is one word which I heard that is consider rude to the Japanese, but Singaporeans might accidentally commit. That's the word "har?!". In Singaporean singlish context it actually just means "Why? What?" or exclamation over something, but it is considered quite demeaning to the Japanese (if I am not wrong).
Your Singlish sounds authentic! Except for a weird pause before "lah". Most non-Singaporeans unconsciously pause before their lah leh lor, perhaps they can't decide swiftly which one to use.
V interesting video. Being late i think is quite common in sgp, and that it kinda becomes an expectation sometimes.. Imagine wedding dinners where it starts at 830pm onwards, as opposed to 7 or 730 pm :(
I was also shocked at the beginning when I heard local people use the racist term Jap. Although I have been living in Singapore for a long time, I still hate people using Jap. Probably local people don’t mean anything racist but I still feel offended to be honest.

However, it’s true that non of Japanese people feel happy whenever we hear Jap because we all learned this is a racist term.
Ohno I didn't know about the phrase "Jap", point well made thanks! The name card etiquette is actually also relevant, just maybe it's less stringent. I once lost my name card case and was fumbling around in my bag for a good 5 minutes. It honestly felt like forever and I'll never forgot that experience x.x Being late isn't good too, but I suppose yes it's pretty common here and more tolerated u_u

合理的な理由のないマナーなら無くしてもいいお思うけどな
マナーの考え方は「相手を不快な気持ちにさせない」ことなので、日本には日本人ならではの「空気読み」に近いマナーもまた存在します。つまり、合理性では割りきれないということ。おもてなしなんかがその最たる例で、合理性だけを求めたら要らないことだらけになる

気遣いのマナーなら良いけど、意味不明な飲み会のマナーとか、冠婚葬祭で〇〇はつけちゃいけないの過激なやつとかは本当に意味わからない。馬鹿みたいに気にする人と全く知らない人に別れちゃうしね。
マナー講師はクソ
それ言ったら伝統とかも合理的とは言えなくなってきますよね。時代と共に変化するという陳腐理論は置いておき、マナー等の文化はその国特色を表すものであるから僕は大事だと思うね。合理的な方法が正しいとなれば、お正月時の神社での参拝も、人がいっぱい並んでる時は作法を短縮して回転を早くする、という方法もありになりそうだねぇ笑

Ghib Singlish is on point in this one lol! Well done and thank you for sharing the tips. Will take note of these.
Yes, another delightful video! The singlish part, you sounded very singlish leh 😁
「逆さやん」関西弁出たｗｗｗｗｗ
Yeah I noticed that in Japan they use both of their hands when giving and receiving something. I have never seen someone do that here in northern Europe but I think it's a very kind and respectful mannerism.
小芝居の時のジブおじの眼が最高😂
As a singaporean,I think that your Singlish is on point
Being late too is really bad etiquette in Singapore especially for the older generations. My dad used to tell me you cannot be earlier than 5 mins or later than 5 mins for meetings.
Exactly ! My dad would allow up to 15 minutes earlier for an appointment just in case he has a punctured tire .
thank you for this amazing insight into Japanese and Singaporean interactions! Love it and will watch all your videos!
Well, the “lah” and “meh” is actually Cantonese, which Hong Kong people mostly use:0
What about doing a compilation video of Japanese cuisine you found in Singapore that is on par with what you had on Japan? Even though Singapore has a lot of food from other cultures, it's always not authentic, or changed to suit local taste buds. It's hard to find truly authentic food at affordable prices. You could dig up old videos to compile while in this quarantine period!
hello hello! this video just got reccomended to me haha
as a singaporean,, i would like to apologise om behalf of my fellow citizens. most of us arent aware that the term "J*p" is actually a racial slur. im really sorry if you heard this term being used alot :((
great video btw!! keep up the great work :D
Love you
We get you guys don't say it as it
たまたま関連動画に出てきたから見たけど喋りや説明がわかりやすく丁寧でよかったです。登録しました。
I have a funny story! I’m working in a japanese mnc in singapore. So one time a client came over and we did our introductions. I bowed but the Japanese client raised his hand to shake and i banged my head on his hand 😅
Next we did the opposite! Then we finally blushed and we both bowed and shook hands at the same time... 🙈
The term Jap, actually i learnt that this is offensive, not from my Japanese friends but from my american friends in one of the online games we were playing together. The americans I met were very strongly against using this term so that’s how I learnt not to shorten it like this. Instead we use japanese or jp for short. I’m singaporean by the way.

Great advice, I think that this are good manners to try and use in personal life
The eyes of annoyed ghib san looks like some angry shogun
That look is super funny. The thumbnail was damn good also.
Actually looks very cute/funny! Makes me laugh.
@matshafs Yes looks like saitama.
matshafs そうか...
Lol
Very informative. Enjoyed it and love your content. Stay safe.
論点違って申し訳ないが数年前シンガポールに住んでいたのでlahを聞いて懐かしくなってしまった
Wow, thats educational! Thanks
外国人向けに「日本ではこうするな」じゃなくて日本人向けに「こういう外国人がいても文化だから気にしないで」って動画にして欲しかったな…平和になれる…
「郷に入っては郷に従え」ではないでしょうか我々日本人も諸外国に行ったときあちらの文化に合わせる、日本に外国人が来た時も日本の文化に合わせる、共存が大事ですよね
英語と日本語が混ざるこの話し方すごい共感できる〜〜〜！！！見てて気持ちよかったのでチャンネル登録します
OMG! The Singlish expression is so cute! 😂🤣👍
This is very interesting, quite intricate details of cultural norms.
劇中の日本人役側のお顔が面白くてとても笑いました。楽しかった！
I'm here for the skits, it's funny 🤣 also very informative. Thank you
The thing about being late, as a Singaporean, I can relate 😂😂This country is small, so it doesn't rrl take long for us to travel from East to West,North to South. But for my case, I usually estimate the time I need to get there, and leaves my house on the dot. If I am late, probably either the bus came later than usual or the MRT breakdown. (Becuz most of the time, they are always punctual)
Actually interesting thing about why linguistically or in slang singaporeans tend to shorten everything, it comes from our starting point as a multi-racial colony where barely anyone had a common language between them. So early Singapore - early independent Singapore relied on people communicating in the most “simplistic” ways in each other’s languages. With English thrown in as the common/unifying language, a lot of the words get shortened because of this need that existed to get our points across to each other as quickly and effectively as possible without a care about whether the language used was grammatically correct or not.
This is the basis of Singlish, but I think it affects how our newer slang words get “created” as well. To many Singaporeans, it’s always about the fastest and most effective way to get a point across (you can see it in how we have variations of “can” like ‘can lah’, ‘can leh’, ‘can lorh’)
Hahahha!! Love your skit!! N your singlish is so good!!! Maybe you should try acting, you're good!👍🐈
japて言われるとシンガポールでそういう意味じゃないとわかってても一瞬ムッとするかも、、
1. Don't say "Omae wa mou shindeiru" without the appropriate context
いや、いつでも大丈夫ですよ
That's pretty obvious do to the fact it means you're dead XD

The appropriate reply to this should be: "Nani?"
WiThOuT tHe ApPrOpRiAtE cOnTeXt 🤣 unless you become Kenshiro from Hokuto no Ken will there ever be appropriate context? 😆
Ghibじさん! Love your voice when you switch to Japanese. You sound like someone who's really good at "突っ込み"!

Nice one Ghib!
Your Singlish is so cute and funny!!
Thanks for mentioning the first point. I have tried many years to tell my friends don't say that, but people really didn't know that it is rude. As for point 2 and 3, that's the appropriate business / daily manners regardless in which country, but unfortunately some people never bother to take note. There is one word which I heard that is consider rude to the Japanese, but Singaporeans might accidentally commit. That's the word "har?!". In Singaporean singlish context it actually just means "Why? What?" or exclamation over something, but it is considered quite demeaning to the Japanese (if I am not wrong).
Ghib! Your Singlish is getting better! :D
Love e skits! Your singlish is quite on point!
特に差別的には感じないけど…人によって捉え方は違うから難しい。
差別用語使われても思わず笑っちゃう
Your Singlish sounds authentic! Except for a weird pause before "lah". Most non-Singaporeans unconsciously pause before their lah leh lor, perhaps they can't decide swiftly which one to use.

Omg you're so on point with the "ma" and "meh" 😂👍👏
Grace Foo 😂👍👏😖💩😖💩😖💩😩🥵😬✌🏼
V interesting video. Being late i think is quite common in sgp, and that it kinda becomes an expectation sometimes.. Imagine wedding dinners where it starts at 830pm onwards, as opposed to 7 or 730 pm :(
I was also shocked at the beginning when I heard local people use the racist term Jap. Although I have been living in Singapore for a long time, I still hate people using Jap. Probably local people don’t mean anything racist but I still feel offended to be honest. Most of Japanese people including myself don’t want to be rude to them, so we don’t stop them or don’t fight with them, and just pretend not to be offended or upset when they use Jap. However, it’s true that non of Japanese people feel happy whenever we hear Jap because we all learned this is a racist term.
I am a Singaporean and i hate racism

I just found your channel, and I like it. Thanks a lot
Ghib I'm not sure whether this is useful but maybe you can consider using Patreon for crowdfunding or sponsorships?
3:42 did you just skip from one language to another in the middle of a sentence
Ohno I didn't know about the phrase "Jap", point well made thanks! The name card etiquette is actually also relevant, just maybe it's less stringent. I once lost my name card case and was fumbling around in my bag for a good 5 minutes. It honestly felt like forever and I'll never forgot that experience x.x Being late isn't good too, but I suppose yes it's pretty common here and more tolerated u_u
めちゃ面白いし、ジブリおじさんのシングリッシュも完璧ですっ✨←シンガポール人のファンです🤣
This is soo cute love this channel
Thank you for this very informative video. Learnt quite a few things from you :)
