Ja...I figured some people out there would want to learn a little thing or two on how to say certain words or phrases in Japanese. I'm a self-learner of the language and am still a work in progress. Ganbarimasu yo ne! Let me just point out here that learning Japanese language is WAY different than learning English language. Apparently, most of us, non-Japanese, are already used to the grammar style of English sentence structures that we might find it really hard to learn Japanese language. At first, you might think so but I assure you, that if you keep on learning and referring to reliable sources every now and then, you'll get the hang of it. Bear in mind, though, that it should take quite some time for someone who wasn't born or raised around Japanese speakers to be fluent and confident enough in that language. It takes years of undying effort and tireless practices, especially if you're not in Japan itself. Also remember that learning to speak in Japanese language can be rather easy as time goes by but learning to write or read Japanese characters is one of the most complex things in this world. Let's not think about that now, OK? Take it easy, one at a time.
So, let's get to the business!
Watashi a.k.a ore a.k.a boku (said by males only) = I; me
Anata a.k.a kimi a.k.a omae = You
Hajimemashite = Good to meet you for the first time
Domo = Hi
Konnichiwa = Hello; Good afternoon
Ohayo gozaimasu = Good morning
Konban wa = Good evening
Oyasumi nasai = Good night
Mina = Everyone
O genki desu ka = How are you?
Genki desu = I'm fine
Arigatou gozaimasu a.k.a domo arigatou = Thank you very much
Do itashi mashite = You're welcome
Nan desu ka a.k.a Nani = What is it?
Nani ka = Is anything wrong?
Naze desu ka a.k.a Nande = Why is it so?
Doko desu ka = Where is it?
Sumimasen a.k.a Gomen nasai = Excuse me; Sorry; Forgive me
Wakarimasu = I understand
Wakarimasen = I don't understand
Onegaishimasu = Please; Bother you
Ganbate = Work hard
Gokoun o inorimasu = Good luck!
Kanpai = Cheers!
Yoi ichinichi yo = Have a good day!
Itadakimasu = Thanks for the food (Said right before eating)
Tasukete kudasai = Please help me
Aishiteru = I've fallen in love with you
Daisuki = I like you; I like it
OK, let's stop here for now. I know the list above is not long enough but I'll get back to it some other time, OK? Practise on your own too. Enjoy!
If you have any request for certain words or phrase that you want to be translated from English to Japanese, let me know.
