Japan Tourists: DON’T Waste time: Learn these 16 EASY JAPANESE Phrases@OrientalPearl

so you’re a tourist and you’re going to come to Japan this is Oriental pill my friend hey nice to see you welc she know so many languages she is going to walk us through what you need to know as a tourist things that are actually going to be useful things I wish somebody told me when I came here the first [Music] time I would say I could have saved myself a lot of stress and a lot of brain Space by just learning the words that are going to come up 90% of the time which are things like going into a restaurant cuz most of your interaction with Japanese people is not going to be a self- inroduction or a friendly conversation it’s going to be service based so you walk into a restaurant they’re going to say something to you every time they pretty much say the same things and it would be best if you could understand that to make your experience much smoother when you walk into a convenience store they’re going to say the same thing to you every time and I wish I had known that when I came here [Music] so you go in to the restaurant they’re going to say and you’re not going to understand n that means how many people and you can always use your fingers if you can’t remember but it’s not one person two people in Japanese it’s so memorize those three one person and you’ll have a much easier time actually use quite a lot um whenever I’m fumbling with my phone trying to get my sua card or whatever on my credit card on my phone I’ll say automatic would I say oh whenever you’re in a in the hotel and they ask for the for your passport to photocopy the passport I’ll be fumbling in my bag and I’ll be so you will use that quite often it’s a useful one to have definitely your your general word is going to bees works a lot I mean I I want to be I want to specify here I am not a Japanese um speak I’m a tourist in Japan and I know my tourist lingo so obviously I can testify that da bues is a huge word you’re going to use it for pretty much everything you like you make a mistake you can Sayes oresa are you okay you know um that sort of thing so um yeah bu so and budes use both of them at the same time like in in a sentence and she said and she Saida so those are literally three of the 10 things that we mentioned that we mention in this video it’s pretty crazy all in one little situation here and also when you go into a restaurant they’re going to ask you if you want carry out or you want take in or take carry out or you want to eat in so to eat in is tenai or just which means I wanted to eat here [Music] or another thing that really frustrated me when I first came here I’d go into a convenience store and they’d always ask me and I just got all stressed out I’m like I just want to buy this what nowadays they do have to ask because Japan has gotten rid of their free bag system they will not give you a bag automatically it’s a separate charge and they’re going to ask you bag or no bag [Music] Japan still has a smoking section and non-smoking section which doesn’t exist in my country at least America not anymore pretty much not most of Europe so if you go into a cafe or some restaurants they’re going to ask you smoking or non-smoking so you’re going to need to know K if you don’t want smoking or kitsuen if you do want smoking I’m here with my friend Drew he’s been here for the last 17 years and I thought it would be really cool to ask him what do you think a tourist who knows no Japanese needs to know if they come to Japan one of the best words is just Domo cuz everybody that comes here will say but Domo sounds so more um natural I say so and they think that you actually speak Japanese better than you really do there you go actually I wanted to highlight this is my friend Drew as I mentioned and he currently um is going through a really hard time he’s got lung cancer and um I want you to check out his Channel Tokyo Drew please help him out by um subscribing commenting liking and also checking out his donor box um where you can keep it positive you can also donate to his cause so thanks s hey bro yeah this is too formal this handshake thing but it’s good it’s good it’s [Music] good we’re going to have to use 1 two 3 you don’t say when you want an item it’s and that’s going to be really helpful for your hands are is is okay you know if you don’t if you don’t remember those numbers don’t be scared just say do that but I think that you know just learn those three words it’s going go a long way you need to know when you’re looking at a menu means this one of these two of these three of these this is very versatile basically you can learn about 10 words and 90% of your conversations are going to go pretty smoothly I use a lot by pointing so if I want something I don’t know what it’s called I say onim or onim would you say good one yep is when you want something you can even say it like just I need you to do something for me or something something or onim is a life-saving phrase the the great thing about Japanese people generally is that they if they notice that that you don’t understand or that you don’t speak Japanese they will gesture they’re they’re pretty good she’s just done it naturally but they’re pretty good at gesturing and so you might not actually understand something but they might do the action like like simen is another Lifesaver cuz not only is it Sor but it’s also excuse me simen I need the bill simen I want to order Sim something yes hi so gestures get you a long way in Japan and when you are ready to uh finish your bill either memorize the phrase or just do a gesture like this that means I’m ready to check out give me my bill time to [Music] leave doesa means where is so you can add whatever doesa basically it’s like where the toilet that’s a lifesaver whatever country you’re going to you need to know how to say toilet toy in Japanese is kind of that English it’s easy word that one’s easy some words that I think are quite important would be eki which is station so if you just remember doesa and you just remember like um which is station and like as in line so yamot um something something ly doesa doesa so I think doesa is probably one of the most important things that if you can understand the reply as long as it’s not a complicated reason as in as in like if you’re in a a if you’re in a in a um in a restaurant and you want to know where the toilet is I think it’s easy you know like toilet Wes the probably point in the in the direction basically generally just remember that when you come to Japan when you’re when you’re a tourist in Japan think your tool kit needs to be words that are going to be useful for you to understand how to get from A to B service industry words especially that’s basically it what are you going to say at a souvenir shop what are you going to say at a cafe what are you going to say when you buy your shin conen [Music] tickets do you have a recommendation that’s a good one actually o i mean even sometimes like last night we were having a drink and they offered me a few beers and to be honest I didn’t really hear what the woman said to me and I just said said oosumi you know like basically when you go to a bar that doesn’t have an English menu you’re like I don’t know so actually is probably quite high up there with with very useful something useful especially if you go to a regional place and um you might want something that’s very Regional to eat or to drink if you sayate they will probably give you their origional thing you know like that what they’re proud of or they give you three options and you didn’t understand them just say what do you think is best give me that one I literally did that last night literally with a B men so must [Music] one thing that you did bring up was you thought it was important to know how to say do you speak English I did yeah I mean you could just go up to them and speak English you’re G to find out the answer real fast my um personal like um experience as a tourist is that if I say um AO han han Masa if I say a Han Masa which means do you speak English a lot of people will say no they will automatically be like like that which means no in Japanese basically but if you say um um ago um Mas which means do you understand English it’s a little bit different because basically some Japanese people might might feel that they they don’t their English isn’t good enough and they don’t want to speak English but moment that you say do you understand English they’ll say squashy sosy squashy you know and all of a sudden from a no you get a sosy so that’s probably because wakar Mas means to understand and Kanasas means to speak so maybe they understand English but they don’t speak it that’s it cuz you’re sort of saying do you speak English I want you to answer a question in English I’m going to speak to you in English right whil if you say like do you understand English they’ll be like okay speak to me and then I’ll decide what to do like whether or not I understand you or not um a lot of people are worried about coming to Japan because they don’t understand Japanese and the fact of the matter is that you can get uh get by with very little Japanese and on that note um if you do if you are interested in Japanese language learning then don’t come to my channel for that go to her channel for that because she has loads of really interesting videos where she interacts with um all sorts of different languages other than that she does encourage and help a lot of people with Japanese learning and there’ll be a lot more information on her channel on how you can actually access some of her Japanese learning you know so yeah I I recommend it this has been a little U Insight from Oriental pill yeah thanks for having me
