このレッスン大変ありがとうございました! I would rather have a long explanation than not understand the meaning of the phrase, so I really appreciate it!

[@ghxulish]

I appreciate the effort put into this video, i enjoyed every second, it will most likely help me during my japanese test (Update) I didn’t use these variants and took her advice, i used the regular one and it landed me an A on the test

[@SeizeJapanese]

If you will take JLTP test, my videos may not be so good for the test. You should get textbooks for JLPT.

It’s nice having someone explain you what is what and why and show you the right way. Grateful for this .

I only discovered this channel yesterday. Today on my break I saw this video and had to decide whether I would watch it and study my Japanese, or watch something that is fun and relaxing. I decided to watch this video, and I ended up learning AND having so much fun. I laughed so much! Thank you for your hard work!

[@cheapdiybyann]

This is soo enjoyable to watch!

[@Amarna20]

Sensei Soma is the best Japanese teacher on KZbin, by far. These videos are not only incredibly hilarious, but mind-bogglingly intelligent & helpful. I am only a shoshinsha (beginner), but I would vastly prefer to learn the correct way from the very start. I think Sensei must be an both a top academic, & also a famous actress. I am in awe of Sensei's skills! (This channel should have many more subscribers.). I'm extremely grateful for all Sensei's hard work. Domo arigatou gozaimashita! 🤩🍒

Thank you! I’ve just started travelling Japan and I want to be polite, but textbooks aren’t natural and Duolingo never says if a phrase is formal or casual!

[@Yo-cn3nc]

Well explained, Thank You a lot!

[@SeizeJapanese]

My pleasure 😊.

[@bparker06]

I think "rude" is relative and subjective here... as she has mentioned, people definitely use every one of these phrases, and in more casual settings, the "rude" way is still used *very* often... even the other examples she gave are not all 100% substitutes that should be used in every case, they all have their appropriate time and place that it should be used, so I feel it's a bit disingenuous to just flat out call any of them rude when they are all used all the time, but in different situations.

[@duke9815]

Thank you for teaching the correct way and confusing me very much lol.

[@PlanetaPanda]

I always think that "o namae ha nan desuka " was rare xDD because nan is " what" and for asking a name the question is "Which". But nobody tell "o namae ha doreno desuka" as a type of answer. Why?

[@yasemin6709]

Is this true that; "kimi no na wa" ? 🤔Moreover, will you please explain how “that’s right” can be said? Arigatō gozaimasu🙈😅🖖🏻

[@SeizeJapanese]

That's right .....Hmmmm It depends on the situation.😅

[@yasemin6709]

@@SeizeJapanese I’m trying explain myself 😀 I always hear in animes “soda” which means “that’s right” according to the substitle. Is this right?

[@SeizeJapanese]

@@yasemin6709 Ah, そうだ 　そうだね　そうだよ　そうだよね そうです　そうですね　そうですよ そうですよね　 そう　そうそう そうなの　そうね　そうよ They all are "That's right." The main word is "sou". While talking with elders,"sou desune" is better. Otherwise "soudane, soudayone"sounds good. Just "souda"sounds too strong and rough.

[@flarevolt6158]

so "o-namae wa?" can be seen as casual but still not rough/rude yes?

[@deadalpha8346]

Can you also do a extremely rude version, for a comic purpose?

[@SeizeJapanese]

I"m not sure what comic purpose you have. I don't recommend using rude greeting for others. But we have 名をなのれ (bossy,rude,and old ).Don't use it.

[@deadalpha8346]

@@SeizeJapanese oh i meant like you've seen rude characters speaking in Japanese manga and all, i understand there are different ways of saying the same things, that's all Thanks for the response anyway

Does "anata no namae wa nani" works too?

As I said, It's not good to use "nani"for people...

お名前伺っても宜しいでしょうか？

[@SeizeJapanese]

That's one of very polite expressions. You can use it in business or polite situation.

[@SeizeJapanese]

However. I'd say お名前を　お伺いしても　よろしいでしょうか？ If you like to use this expression. you should put を after お名前。 and よろしいでしょうかis the politest , but 伺ってもis little bit less polite, so ↑↑↑　お伺いしても　should be replaced here.

[@SeizeJapanese]

One more thing ,😅 This is the expression that workers use to their customers,so it's toooooo polite in daily situation. In daily conversation, Please use phrases that I introduced in this video.
