Anyway, if you are just learning Japanese, you have to learn the letters. There are three types of Japanese characters. “Hiragana”, “Katakana”, “Kanji”. The most basic of these is “Hiragana”.
“Hiragana” is a phonetic alphabet. So, in the extreme, all Japanese conversations can be expressed only by “Hiragana”.
※”Katakana” is a phonetic alphabet used to represent foreign words.
So let’s start with “Hiragana”. Hiragana has a total of 50 characters. You might feel a lot.
However, all “Hiragana” can be represented by a table of consonants and vowels. This time, Let’s study most basic “aiueo”.
This word is a modern version of “Arigatou gozaimasu” mean thank you.
AJ(nobu)
ありがとうございます（A ri ga to u- go za i ma su）
yaki-onigiri
Hey, Why are you so serious today?
look.
“a(rigatougo)za(ima)su”
Japanese people omit words right away.
This word including a nuanvce of “flip or clown”
People who are said this word, they feel like, “Is this guy really feel grateful?” You can use it for your friends, but never for “sensei” and “senpai”.
あざっす(azasssu) sounds more honestly. You can use it for “senpai” if the “senpai” is kindly.
for example
AJ(nobu)
ほれ、ジュース(hore, ju-su)
yaki-onigiri
あざーーーっす
AJ(nobu)
おごるとは言ってねーよ(ogoru toha itte ne-yo)
AJ(nobu) ; hey , juice (hey , I bring a juice for you) yaki-onigiri ; thaaaaanks AJ(nobu) ; “pay for you” don’t say (I never say that I pay for you)
※おごる(ogoru)・・・pay for somebody, invite
※言う (iu)・・・say ; 言って(itte) is a present progressive form of言う
※ねーよ（ne-yo）・・・not, don’t
いsounds “i” ; ikeru?
いける？（i ke ru?）
means “can you?”
this coming from “行く(i ku) “& ” V+el ” & “? “ means like “go”&”can”&”?” …so , “Can you go?”
but, You can use this not only about “going”. use it as a “can you do it ?”
It’s also including a meaning of “do yo have a time?”
for example
AJ(nobu)
今日、いける？(do you have a time today?)
yaki-onigiri
いける！(I’m free )
※今日（kyou）・・・today
