    Since these are beginner's phrases, it might be handy to have the romanization for people who can't read Japanese yet:
    1. Ohayō. Good morning.
    2. Sumimasen. Excuse me
    3. hai - yes.
    4. iie - no.
    5. Eki wa doko desu ka? Where is the station?
    6. Yoroshiku o-negai shimasu. Please treat me well. (pleased to meet you)
    7. Kore wa ikura desu ka? How much is this?
    8. O-yasumi nasai. Goodnight.
    9. Nan-sai desu ka? How old are you.
    10. Dōzo. After you.
    11. Wakarimashita. I understand.
    12. Wakarimasen. I don't understand.
    13. Eigo ga hanasemasu ka? Do you speak English?
    14. Jya, mata. See you soon.
    15. Domo. Thanks.
    16. O-genki desu ka? How are you?
    17. Gomen nasai. I'm sorry.
    18. Konban wa. Good evening.
    19. Konnichi wa. Hello.
    20. Hajimemashite. Nice to meet you.
    21. O-namae wa? What's your name?
    22. Mizu, o-negai shimasu. Water, please.
    23. Tasukete kudasai. Help!
    24. Arigatō. Thank you.
    25. Sayonara. Goodbye.
    I haven't studied Japanese in a long time, so this was a fun, simple video to watch. Thanks!

      Ed Moritz When someone teaches you a useless sentence, take the useless part and replace it with something you want to remember. So take これはペンです "this is a pen" and make it これは日本語です(これはにほんごです) "this is Japanese" or even better これは俺の妹です(これはおれのいもうとです)"this is my little sister". I've done that since I started and I still do it now. It helps with Kanji as well if you keep writing the sentence over and over while repeating the words.

    I am a native Japanese speaker, and the funny thing I learned while working in a restaurant in Tokyo is that you greet your boss and your co-workers with "Ohayougozaimasu" (Good Morning) regardless of when you start your shift. I just assumed it was general etiquette in the Japanese food services industry.

    • @varunsubramanian5484
      @varunsubramanian5484 7 років тому

      BrightBlue1111 does ohayogozaimasu means "very good morning?" since arigato gozaimasu means thankyou very much ???

    • @melonsoda123
      @melonsoda123 7 років тому +11

      Tech Bolt No, it doesn't. Both ohayougozaimasu and arigato gozaimasu are polite/formal forms of Good Morning and Thank You. If you want to say thank you very much politely/formally, you have to say domo arigato gozaimasu.

    • @MajiriTadakichi

      One Japanese guy told me once that you are not supposed to say just "Ohayou", cause that's rude. If you wanna keep it short, you can say just "gozaimasu" instead. Can anyone confirm?

      It seems like it but it's only for some things. For example, to tell someone, "I had so much fun!" in Japanese is only "Tanoshikatta." 5 words in English, 1 in Japanese. Or let's say you were texting someone but didn't write back because you fell asleep, in English you would say, "Oops, sorry I fell asleep." in Japanese just "Nechatta." **The more you know!**

      ***** for someone who is just going to japan for holidays, they don't really have the time to learn all the kanji, hiragana, katakana. I think this video was mostly meant for people who want to know just a few phrases for small-talk. Nobody expects to find romanji pretty much ANYWHERE in japan. The purpose of romanji is mainly to help with the pronounciation and you also need it while learning kanji.

    • @roberto77suarez
      @roberto77suarez 9 років тому +1

      ***** Totally agree! That's exactly what I just wrote, romaji make things easier for us non-japanese speakers to improve our pronunciation and get to know the phonetics of the words and phrases Hope they add romaji to future videos too!

    • @CjLingle1
      @CjLingle1 9 років тому

      Romanji would definitely make it easier to be able to better pronounce the word, but learning the some of the different writing styles of Japanese would be good I bet they have a book with the romanji version of a word and the other forms too, to help with the signs in Japan. Also hi Keiko bet you can't guess who I am lol

She needs to have each word or sentence written "phonetically". They have phonetics on the "learn Korean" part of this site. The guy teaching is great with phonetics on that site.

      While I might not be perfect with my hiragana, learn it, because it made this video a lot more easy to follow. Whether that is through memrise or Human Japanese, hiragana really helps especially with beginner words. Most of the time I could understand the subtitles (and the difficult kanji is notated on top with hiragana).
      Learning Hiragana makes life so much more easy, there are about 50 different characters and basic words such as "oyasumi" and "arigato" are pretty much hiragana.

      Well, if anyone here is trying to find where to learn Japanese on the internet,
      I recommend you to learn Hiragana and Katakana on *Memrise* (There's an app and a website :D At first learning Hiragana may be leik mehhh but after a while it ok. You will start really understanding Hiragana and Katakana while learning Kanji and grammar xD Katakana is really easy, you can learn it within a week or even a day.)
      And after that, you can continue to Kanji and Grammar, which I recommend learning *together*. Learning just Kanji is hard (I couldn't do it)
      The same with grammar.
      For Kanji and grammar you can use *FluentU* (an app and a website again ! :D You need to know Hiragana for it.)

      Those parts can be fast at first but just keep listening, and pause and replay when you need to.

Keep notes on what words mean what and you'll have a huge vocabulary before you know it.

      Just like "Thongs" in Aussie means "flip flops" and "Thongs" in America is "G-strings" and "rooting" is plumbing, but in Australia "rooting" means "making love"... this world is SO WEIRD!!!!
      We do say "flip flops" every now n then... but... "Thongs" are our most used word for "flip flops" in Australia...
      The White here call shoes "Joggers" or "sand-shoes" or just "shoes"... the Aboriginals (the Natives and my people), we all call them "Jinna Boogers" because Jinna means Foot in my Tribe's language... and the shoes look like Boogers so we call them "Jinna Boogers" :)
      I only know one or two words in my own language... I was never brought up with my dad or in my community to know or learn my language... my mum could probably teach me... but she's been away from the community for a long time... glad she knows some sites, though :)
      I'm not just Aboriginal, though :) I'm also part Japanese (through dad), British (through mum), Irish (mum), Scottish (dad), Danish and (possibly New Zealand, but not so sure) Romanian (mum's side)... I also got Gypsy blood :)

      Victoria Mae-Anne Wolfe you have blood from all the races I see 😂 ;) I am just greek and australian because my dad was born there but his parents are also greek and they left from Australia when he was 6 years old.... so I don't consider myself "Australian" 😂 But who knows... no one knows all his/her ancestors birthplaces and their race... Too many years have passed, so everyone has blood from too many people with different races... with this way it's managed the human evolution... with the mix of too many DNAs👌 -sorry, I just like biology 😂-
