**WATCH THIS (& ALL MY VIDEOS) IN HD!!** Hey! So this was a requested video~ Hope it helps some of you out !! It was very hard to choose only a few words and phrases but I think these are pretty essential ♡ *Some of the writing goes by kind of quickly - feel free to pause it for a better look or just refer to the list below: ♡ WORD IN JAPANESE (HIRAGANA) / ENGLISH SPELLING (ROMAJI) / MEANING ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ♡ はい / hai / yes ♡ いいえ / iie / no ♡ おはようございます / ohayou gozaimasu / good morning ♡ おはよう / ohayou / good morning (casual) ♡ こんにちは / konnichiwa / good afternoon ♡ こんばんは / konbanwa / good evening ♡ おやすみなさい / oyasuminasai / goodnight ♡ ください / kudasai / please ♡ おねがいします / onegaishimasu / please ♡ よろしくおねがいします / yoroshiku onegaishimasu / please treat me with kindness ♡ ありがとう / arigatou / thanks ♡ ありがとうございます / arigatou gozaimasu / thank you ♡ わたし / watashi / I and/or me ♡ ~さん / -san / default honorific ♡ ~ちゃん / -chan / girl honorific ♡ ~くん / -kun / boy honorific ♡ ~さま / -sama / very formal honorific ♡ おきゃくさま / okyakusama / customer ♡ だいじょぶ / daijoubu / used when confirming that something or someone is okay ♡ すごい / sugoi / amazing ♡ だれ / dare / who ♡ なに / nani / what ♡ どこ / doko / where ♡ いつ / itsu / when ♡ どうして / doushite / why (used in southern japan) ♡ なぜ / naze / (used in tokyo) ♡ どう / dou / how ♡ つぼみ / tsubomi / flower bud ♡ わびさび / wabisabi / complex, vague, traditional concept of beauty in japan A couple of words that are used very frequently in Japan and I wish I would have added are: すみません / sumimasen / excuse me どうぞ / douzo / go ahead It would also help A LOT to become familiar with the pronunciation/writing systems of Japanese: hiragana, katakana and kanji. FYI: I studied Japanese for a year in college and have lived here for the following 2. I've passed level N5 of the JLPT and have yet to try N4.
