She's right. But... I am Japanese, and どういたしまして is useful! I'm not criticizing her or something else. These ways are the most used, but don't think "douitashimashite" is a wrong way.
Doutushimashite for me sounds better than the other casual ways. Glad you input your point of view. UA-cam has hundreds of Japanese " Teachers" and all have different books😂 I think I'll stick with 2 channels bcs it's confusing to learn from too many people. Arigato gozaimasu 😊
It hasn’t necessarily, it’s just japan is so polite that saying “you’re welcome” isn’t as polite as possible. The other phrases used basically say, “I don’t deserve this praise”, “I’m relieved to have been able to help” and “thank you for allowing me to do this”.
@@Planet-Anime can you suggest other online alternatives? I would like to know! I’ve been trying to self teach myself but due me being absolute garbage at studying (traditional study methods don’t work for me) and not being able to afford formal classes on it (if I could even find classes in my area), Duolingo has been going alright for me. I already knew going in that it’s not a perfect learning tool as it’s not great at explaining why things are the way they are. I have to look for those answers myself. But I’ve learned more with it that I did “learning” Spanish in grade school (I never actually learned anything. I memorized stuff for tests and immediately forgot it). But yeah I would appreciate recommendations to alternatives.
That's actually true. I used this phrase recently, because I was greatly affected anime with a highly polite way of speaking. Japanese man (they asked to take picture) was genuinely happy to hear this word.
@@DigiDragon001 What does “no, no” even mean? Somebody said “Thank you” and you reply “No, no”? That doesn’t make sense. The reason why they translated it to ”no problem” is because that’s the closest you can say in English.
@@미아모레사나 Replying to somebody saying "Thank you" with "No, no" doesn't make sense? Exactly! That's why you can't use いえいえ alone. You have to say a thanking phrase to go with いえいえ to mean "no problem". Translating いえいえ to "no problem" is wrong because it doesn't have 問題ない or anything. It's not even close you can say in English. It only makes sense if you say いえいえ alone when you refuse instead.
that's really useful, even in class or textbooks you learn どういたしまして. Thanks for sharing every-day vocabulary! hopefully I'll sound more natural someday
Thank you for ALL your videos. I’ve lived here in Japan for years and I always worry that my Japanese still sounds a little like a textbook. You really help me understand the nuances better.
Ooooh. When i visited Japan and brought a present to my host family, aka the parents of my friend, and they thanked, i wanted to respond "you are welcome", my friend said to say 'doo itashimashte" and it stuck with me to this day.
Holy shit I genuinely didn’t know this O_O I mean I did know all the other phrasings but not that dou itashimashite isn’t used usually!!! Thank you so much!!!
Nah man what she's saying is that people usually use those but we should just stick to more formal shit like (doetashimashte) so we don't get confused.
@@lonegamer6232doutashimaste is fine am used by Japanese but it has specific uses For example, if a a hotel says arigatou, don’t use doushimaste here, use arigatou or kochira koso
Sorry if this is such a late comment, but it actually depends on why you are learning Japanese. If you're simply studying it to converse with Japanese people in casual settings, the more casual and colloquial terms like the ones taught on this channel are a great starting point. However, for example, I teach Japanese to students who aim to work in Japan's service industry, so I teach formal and "correct (by the book)" Japanese
よかった（良かった）(was good) is the simple past tense of よい (is good). In this way, you can get a feel for how よかった can be used as a substitute for a more direct "You're welcome." If someone thanks you, you're expressing it "was a good thing" to be able to help them (and hence you're happy about it).
I always translate よかった as: luckily it happened. Got to that last train? よかった Got a passing mark? よかった you're thankful for something and you say arigatou? よかった (I'm happy for you/that it luckily happened) etc.
translation will always gives the most polite way of saying things ... those you mention are when talking to friends or co-workers, douitashimashite is a polite form with a hint of respect.
ありがとうございます I'm only in the basics and still figuring out hiragana and katakana. I can read hiragana better than katakana at the moment. I think kanji is where I'm going to struggle.
I mean it might differentiate depending on the community you're in. For example, your group of friends finds it normal to say it that way and the others see it sounding stiff and unnatural. Of course there's no way Sayaka Sensei would like to you😭
こちらこそ "it is I who should say so" is the translation I've been taught of the word at university, by my japanese teacher, I often find that translation more useful when using it
Because Japanese is context specific language and languages don’t have 1-1 You wouldn’t use ieie or zenzen to a hotel who tgsnks you for choosing and staying
@@duckymomo7935 that is why all those natives videos annoy me a bit. "We don't use that" we - who? Teenagers? School kids? Men? Women? In what situation? Just saying: we don't use that" is oversimplification. Maybe you in particular don't, others might.
I'm early in duolingo and so far learned the Yokatta. I've also learned zenzen from IRL streamers in Japan, i commonly hear that one and asked what it means.

@@josiahbaumgartner7643 A grandma from back then would speak very different Japanese from younger Japanese of that time and even more so Japanese now.

だいじょうぶだよ (daijobudayo) which means “it’s okay” or “no worries”
it’s a really casual way to say it, something you’d say to a friend or family member!
Thnx
そして、"問題ないよ"とも言え
どういたしまして is fine. It's a very polite phrase so I think a lot of Japanese will be happy to hear it. It shows ur sincerity.
Oh? So, it's an extremely polite way to say “You're welcome”?
I’m scared to say Japanese to a real Japanese cus I feel like I will accidentally say something impolite
honestly mistakes will happen and you’ll learn from them just let them know that your japanese is iffy and still learning
I think best you can do is apologize in advance if you come off as offensive
I'll mess up grammar
As a person born and raised in Japan, I would just nicely correct you. ❤
