When we first start learning Japanese, one of the first words we usually learn is the word "thank you."

The most common Japanese word for “thank you” is the familiar あ り が と う (arigatou).

As you know from my video tutorial (which you received if you subscribed to my free mailing list), there are 3 styles of speech in Japanese, which differ in the degree of politeness. Therefore, you can say “thank you” in different ways, it will depend on who you are talking to.

Let's see what the options are:

1. If you want to say "thank you" to your friend, then the conversational options will suit you.

あ り が と う - arigatou

ど う も - doumo

サ ン キ ュ ー - sankyuu (thank you)

You can use these expressions to communicate with friends, family members, and people of your equal status, age, or juniors.

ど う も (doumo) - the word itself means “big”, “very”, but colloquially it is understood as a short “thank you”.

サ ン キ ュ ー (sankyuu) - it's not hard to guess that this word is borrowed from the English language. Pronounced in the Japanese manner, Thank you is ubiquitous and very popular among young people. And writing it on the Internet and on a mobile phone saves time and symbols, because it is enough to type 3-9 (numbers 3 and 9 in Japanese are read as san kyuu).

2. If you want to thank an older person or a work colleague, then you will need a more polite form, and the more polite the form, the longer it is.

あ り が と う ご ざ い ま す - arigatou gozaimasu

ど う も あ り が と う ご ざ い ま す - doumo arigatou gozaimasu

あ り が と う ご ざ い ま し た - arigatou gozaimashita

If you cannot read these words and do not know hiragana yet, then you.

As you may have noticed, gozaimasu and gozaimashita have been added to our thank you. What is it and why are we adding it there?

Gozaimasu is the present tense of gozaru (to be, to exist). It is used as a polite expression, which means that you are respectful of the person you are talking to.

Therefore, often in formal conversations, in conversations with strangers and people older in age or status, you will hear exactly gozaimasu.

あ り が と う ご ざ い ま す (arigatou gozaimasu) - standard polite thanks, if in doubt which form is better to choose in order to thank a person, stick to it and never go wrong!

ど う も あ り が と う ご ざ い ま す (doumo arigatou gozaimasu) - thank you very much... As we said above, doumo is “big,” and adding it to the standard gratitude makes the phrase even more polite and emotional.

With these two, everything is clear, you say, but what is gozaimashita? Why is it needed and how is it different from gozaimasu?

And I will gladly explain to you that:

1. Gozaimasu is the present tense and gozaimashita is the past.

2. We will use the past form gozaimashita if the person to whom we are grateful ALREADY fulfilled our request, did something good to us, or something good because of him happened in our past. That is, he is ALREADY great, and you must certainly tell him arigatou gozaimashita for this!

3. Okay, that's all clear, but what is “please” in Japanese?

ど う い た し ま し て - dou itashimashite

Dou itashimashite "please" is our standard option, which can be used to respond to any thanks, formal or not.

き に し な い で く だ さ い - ki ni shinaide kudasai

Do not worry about it, do not worry or it was not difficult for me.

But in informal situations and with friends, it is much better to say simply:

オ ッ ケ ー - okke- (okay)

That is, okay, of course, what are we talking about :) Or:

い え い え - ie ie

Come on, not worth it etc.

4. Hmm, what if I want to thank you for the delicious food?

A reasonable question. For such cases, use:

ご ち そ う さ ま で し た - gochisou sama deshita (formal)

ご ち そ う さ ま - gochisou sama (informal version)

Gotisou means treat or treat, sama adds politeness, and deshita indicates the past tense. Thus, we get “it was very tasty, thank you”!

(We'll talk more about the past tense and courtesy prefixes in other lessons.)

It will also be good if during the meal you praise the food and say that it is delicious, then the person who prepared it will be pleased.

To do this, you need to say:

美味 し い (お い し い) - oishii

Tasty!

So, we got acquainted with several options thanks in Japanese! In the future, we will consider more complex constructions and phrases that require some grammatical base.

Want to know more and start speaking, writing and reading Japanese at a serious level now? Maybe it's time to fulfill your dream and sign up for one-year Japanese courses to our school? In three months you will begin to understand what the Japanese are talking about, in six months you will be able to pass the Noreku Siken exam at N5, and in a year you will understand that you can freely talk about everyday topics with the Japanese. These are very good results! Then what are you waiting for? Sign up as soon as possible, while there are still places in the groups!

Arigatou gozaimashita!

AC-travel offers you a variant of a Japanese phrasebook with basic phrases that you may need in the Land of the Rising Sun.

Please note that in Japanese, there is practically no stress we are accustomed to, words and phrases are pronounced evenly, but there are long vowels, which are conventionally indicated by a colon after the sound, which should lengthen during pronunciation. The meaning can change from the length of the vowel, so you must always take it into account.

In the sound composition of the Japanese language, some sounds are missing, for example, the Russian "l" in borrowed words and proper names changes to "r" in Japanese. So "ruble" will sound like "ru: bora".

Today's lesson will be about greetings - 挨 拶 (Aisatsu). From the very beginning of learning Japanese, it is very important to learn how to say hello. It seemed that it could be easier? Anyone not even a Japanese language learner can easily remember the standard Japanese greeting, which sounds like this: こ ん に ち は (Konnichiwa). But the Japanese would not be Japanese if it were that simple. There are a number of different greetings used depending on the situation, time of day, or the status of the person you are talking to. We will get acquainted with these nuances in this article.

Greetings at different times of the day

- お 早 う ご ざ い ま す (Ohayo: gozaimasu)- Good morning. "Gozaimasu" is a polite form of speech, so if you greet your friend it can be shortened to the simple お は よ う (ohayo :).

- こ ん に ち は (Konnichiwa)- Good day, hello. A universal greeting, but it is most appropriate to use it from 12 to 16 hours.

- 今 晩 は (Konbanwa)- Good evening. A very popular standard evening greeting.

Greetings in different situations

- 久 し ぶ り (Hisashiburi)- Long time no see. If you want to greet a friend you haven't seen for a long time, contact him with the phrase: お 久 し ぶ り で す ね (Ohisashiburi desu ne) - "Haven't seen in a long time." If you haven't seen each other for several years, then you can say: 何 年 ぶ り で し た か (Nan nen buri deshita ka) - "How many years have passed?" And if the break was not very long, then you can use the phrase: し ば ら く で し た (Shibaraku deshita). In addition to the meaning "have not seen for a long time", this phrase has the meaning "glad to see you."

- も し も し (Moshi-moshi)- Hello. Answer by phone.

- ご き げ ん よ う (Gokigenyo :)- Hello. A rarely used, very polite female greeting.

Friendly greetings

- お っ す (Ossu)- a very informal male greeting. Used by close friends of the same age.

- う い っ す (Uissu)- an informal female greeting. The greeting comes from a very strong contraction お は よ う ご ざ い ま す (ohayo: gozaimasu :).

- や っ ほ ー (Yahho :)- Hey! An informal version used by both men and women.

- よ ー! (Yo!)- masculine version of the greeting. Often used by women, but it sounds rude.

"What are these signs do you use when recording greetings?"- you ask. This is hiragana. And if you still do not know how to read this Japanese alphabet, then we advise you to use our which will help you start reading Japanese.

When greeting a Japanese person, it is important to remember about non-verbal communication techniques. In everyday polite or formal communication, greetings are inextricably linked to various types of bows. Handshakes are used mainly in relation to Europeans. In everyday life, head nods or half-bows take place. Of course, it would be appropriate to just wave your hand as a sign of greeting.

If you often watch Japanese films or anime, then you have probably met some kind of greetings. Share in the comments: what greetings have you met in the Japanese paintings you've seen?
