      R˹Fast a˺ prescribed number of days.1 But whoever of you is ill or on a journey, then ˹let them fast˺ an equal number of days ˹after Ramaḍân˺. For those who can only fast with extreme difficulty,2 compensation can be made by feeding a needy person ˹for every day not fasted˺. But whoever volunteers to give more, it is better for them. And to fast is better for you, if only you knew

    Thanks for the video. Japanese is so difficult because how you speak drastically changes based on who you're talking to (relationship, age/seniority). Even "Thank you" could be stated as "Arigato gozaimasu", "Arigato", "Azassu", amongst other variations. Even a native speaker can get tripped up sometimes.

      The difference between English and Japanese here is the strict hierarchical system of honorifics. You could say “thanks” to your boss or someone older than you in English, but not “azasu” in Japanese, even though they’re pretty much the same.

    Care should be taken when using this word.
    This is because the word is derived from the Japanese gay adult video "A Midsummer Night's Lewd Dream".
    If you are an American baseball connoisseur, you may possibly know the name "Tadano Kazuhito".

    It would be helpful if the phrases were displayed for a longer period of time -- at least 10 seconds. For the short (two and three character) transcriptions, the current display time is enough; but not all are that short; and some come with explanations. When trying to go back and forth in the UA-cam UI, double tap is always steps of 10 seconds.

      @@wow_cultures Most language learning videos seem to follow the rule, that they show text for what is being said and then disappear the text and show text for the next thing. I have always wondered, how the language learning video developers expected students to be able to use these videos. What kind of usability testing did they do, to select the time to display the text? Initially I thought there must be some better, faster way of pausing videos on UA-cam; but there are real limitations.
      First, there are hard limitations on human reaction time. Video game studies indicate that people can react to on screen information in about 250ms, assuming their fingers are on the buttons. It can take much longer if their hands are elsewhere. There are also limitations to the interface provided by UA-cam. On mobile, you generally can pause only after tapping twice -- once to bring up the UI and once to pause. This is usually more than enough for the text to disappear. On desktop, space bar can pause quickly; but only if the video has browser focus. It often does not, for reasons I don't understand.
      Say a student wishes to listen to what a speaker said and then read it -- well, they will have a hard time doing that. First, they will tap to bring up the UI. The text will disappear. Then, they click pause. Now, they can try scanning for the very short period where the text is up. This is also difficult to do, because the mobile interface is very coarse. On desktop, the situation is better but not great.
      An alternative would be to display what is currently being said in color and keep older text on the screen but in gray. That way, you have time to pause and look at what you heard, without being confused about what is being said now.

      Hmm, I don't know about that. I think the words/phrases that are most used by "young people" or "youth" would be "egui", "oissu", "uken-dakedo", "maji de", or "sore na". "Azassu" can be heard by older men a fair bit too, and "yabai" is used a lot, although the intonation changes depending on the context of the usage and who is speaking. The greetings are said by everybody at every age group, and "otsukaresama desu" is said by every working person, at every level, in Japan. Hell, even students say it to each other after exams or sports games, or anything that takes effort. "Honma" is just standard Kansai-ben.

Can it be mostly in Tokyo that those are used? I'm pretty sure my mother and one of my sisters who live in a rural city wouldn't. My other sister who I haven't talked to for quite a few years, I can imagine using some of those words but she lives in Osaka. So, what I'm wondering is if the location makes a difference?

    As a Japanese person, I'd like to write this.
    First of all, no one uses "kyapai". I think he's telling us that, and he's being honest with the words he uses often.
    But he is in front of the Shinjuku Toho Building in Kabukicho. It's a place where misbehaving young people gather, and they have their own language. So the word is not common at all.
    I also live in Tokyo, and this is literally the first time I've heard about it.
    Also, "uken-dakedo" is a very young people's word, so if you are over 30 years old, you should not use it.
    And the word "sayonara" that the last Young Guys taught us is actually not normally used by native speakers. He probably doesn't use it on a daily basis either. However, I think the reason they teach this is because "sayonara" is a very formal way of saying it. But the meanings of words change over time, so “ja a ne” or “ma ta ne” can be used better. “sayonara'' has the impression that it is said a little coldly.
