Is Japanese Siri alright? I say I'm fine but... what do I mean in Japanese? | DAIJOUBU

[@musarratamin6781]

This is the only channel that I can understand without subtitles. In most channels that teaches Japanese I get busy watching the subtitles rather than focusing on the Context of the lessons.But for this channel I don’t have to worry about that.ありがとうございました🌸

[@Onomappu]

I hope my channel will be your good step to get to perfect Japanese level☺️

I like to think of 大丈夫 as similar to "I'm fine, thanks" in English, which can be interpreted positively or negatively

[@Kavaeric]

"Can I eat this?" "Yeah, it's alright." "Do you need a bag?" "No, it's alright." Even the thing about the tone of voice also works in English, and can also work ambiguously, though not as much as in Japanese: "Do you want to go to the store?" "It's alright" This more leans towards a "no", although "I'm alright" would be more clear as a "no".

[@catw]

@@Kavaeric yeah "alright" works too. It's basically "(I'm) fine/alright/ok/good (thank you)", depending on the context

[@Onomappu]

That's trueeXD A: Daijyoubu, Arigatou B: Da..Daizyoubu? A: DAIJYOUBU

[@catw]

@@Onomappu I now understand the confusion of my host family, because I used 大丈夫 all the time 😂😂 my favourite phrase, along with たぶん lol

[@pwilll]

It's interesting because we'll sometimes say "I'm fine" to mean "I don't need/want that" but we'll also say "that's fine" to mean "yeah, sure." Like if they ask you if you want to eat at xyz restaurant and you say "I'm fine" that means "no" but if you say "that's fine" that means "yes."

[@monkeydlewi]

I love how clear you talk Japanese! When listening to Japanese, I often find it very difficult to make out what's being said, but you speak so clearly it's great!! This was fun xD

[@tennis501tennis501]

Hitoki-san's Japanese is clear and admirable pronunciation

[@GrantyoRT]

A similar ambiguity exists in English between: "Okay" and "That's okay" which means "Yes" and "No" respectively.

[@MarkHachem]

[@screamcheeese7175]

It makes sense that だいじょうぶ can mean "no" because in English, we can use "I'm fine" or "I'm okay" or "It's okay" to also mean "no". I like being able to understand these contexts, though, so thank you!

[@KaiM2583]

I’ve read books etc that tell me how important context is, but this short video got the point across so much more clearly with good examples.

[@mevalgaav]

The "no" meaning of 大丈夫 also exists in English, if a waiter asks if you need anything you can say "I'm good" or "I'm all right" or "I'm okay," and that is the same kind of indirect "no." I think the explicit subject in English makes it a little more clear, maybe. In Japanese, I think it's more common to omit the (僕は) from 大丈夫です

[@Lysandrile]

I intended to watch the video with subtitles but when you strated speaking I realised I can understand ! I watch the whole video without subtitles and understand almost everything !!! Thank you so much for speaking so clearly and using simple vocabulary ! All the things that you write on the screen when speaking (vocabulary, kanji, ...) are also very usefull. When you reach a certain level of speaking a language, you have to look at video and native people speaking to improve, but it is hard to find a video with simple vocabulary in japanese. I'm sure it helps a lot of us to improve our japanese ! Thank you very much for everything :)

[@nuzla5161]

Thank you so much for this really fun video! Daijoubu is one of my favourite words in Japanese and it's so interesting how it can mean both yes and no, depending on our tone. In our native languages too there's a similar way of saying no without being too direct, and it's specially used when we go visiting a another person's place and they offer to make tea, we kinda say 'Ah, it's alright/ I'm fine' meaning we don't want to make you go through the trouble of making tea for us. I think this would be a wonderful daijoubu situation, ne? Thanks again for this awesome video. Looking forward for more, and I absolutely loved the conversation with Siri. :)

On the subject of daijoubu meaning no when someone asks if you need something, it's still very much like English "fine/ok," at least in my dialect. If someone asked if I needed something and I wanted to say no, I might say "I'm fine/ok" or "It's fine/ok" depending on how casual I was being. So I think I'll be daijoubu with understanding that.

[@YenHoang-nx9yo]

So, from what I'm understanding, 大丈夫 means 'Fine' ? So like '大丈夫です' means 'I'm fine' It's basically the same in English, so thanks for explaining!

[@びく-b7w]

The main reason I suscribed to your channel is because you mainly use Japanese, so your channel works great for immersion. These channels that speak 99% English to teach you only a few words in Japanese drive me crazy

[@arsenicum6111]

In polish we have "dziękuję" in the literal translation it means "thank you", but when it comes to question like "Chcesz jeszcze?" - "Do you want more?" we usually reply "Dziękuje." - "Thank you.", but the real meaning is "No, thanks I'm good". So I found it similar to 大丈夫. If it's easier to remember like that I'm glad it helped

[@brightlightburning]

This morning a lady in my guesthouse asked me "朝ご飯大丈夫?" And I took it to mean "can you eat breakfast" and just replied back with 大丈夫but later when I was the only one without food I realised she meant "you don't want breakfast right". T.T

「大丈夫」の紛らわしさは、ロシア語でよく出会う問題に似てると思いました。 　 ロシア語には否定的な質問があります。日本語で何かをするに誘いたいときに「一緒に行きませんか？」(ロシア語では「行きたくないですか」になりますよ) のような表現に同じですね。日本語の一方で、ロシア語では直接な「はい」と「いや」しかないから、その中の一つを選んで答えます。でも、「はい」という答えは「はい！行きましょう！」と「はい！全然行きたくない！」という二つの意味があり、「いや」という答えは「いや、行きたくないから」と「いや、ぜひ行きたいから！^^」という二つの意味があります。本当に紛らわしいですね。私はあのような質問をされるときは、どういう風に答えるべきなのかなーと思ってたりして、「いや、行きたくないから」とか「はい！ぜひ行きたいよ！」のような答えをしてます。 言語的問題は本当に可笑しいですねwww

[@zapatafa]

In almost all of these situations the English "Okay" works as a perfect example for the same situation. Sometimes "Okay" means "yes" often it means "no". Intonation and facial expression definitely clue you in. But still misunderstandings happen.

[@jeffsfolio]

I’ve never used “okay” to say “no” in all my years on this planet. Maybe if one is using sarcasm... but that’s a completely different communication style and does not fall under the general fluency banner. The negative translation of the positive word 大丈夫 is more like, “no thanks, I’m good”

[@zapatafa]

@@jeffsfolio Consider the situation Hitoki brings up of checking out of a grocery store and they ask you, "would you like a bag?". If you don't, you can say, "That's okay." .... which now that I'm thinking about it a bit more makes a bit clearer, you certainly couldn't just get away with saying "okay" in that situation; in that case, just a bare "okay" would be consent. You would definitely need to say, "that's okay" for it to mean "no". However, if you said, "that's okay" when you clearly meant "yes", it would be confusing for the other person.
