Arigato Gozaimashita ! :- )

[@akhehehe4302]

I thought we should say arigato gozaimasu to this video.

[@akhehehe4302]

Is it wrong?

[@PillWool]

@@akhehehe4302 I'd say 'gozaimashita' is correct when you finished watching the video and the lesson she gave you is completed. You would probably use 'gozaimasu' at the beginning of the lesson or when the lesson is about to start or when someone agreed to give you a lesson.

[@akhehehe4302]

[@nac9880]

[@TACOMA98408]

You made it sooooo easy to understand !!!

[@goombapizza6335]

Arigato gozaimasu = I appreciate it/ I'm grateful for you doing this Arigato gozaimashita = I appreciated it/ I was grateful for you having done that

[@salurionfine7813]

Present and Past

[@biggfoot67]

that's what she said.... KKKKKKKK

[@goombapizza6335]

@@salurionfine7813 Kind of... it's the difference between thanking someone for something they're doing now or will do in the future, vs thanking them for something that they already did. For example, at the end of a meal you say gozaimashita because they're already finished serving you the meal.

[@gerald8573]

I understood the second one more like: "I thank you again for having done that" So I still want to express that I am even now (sorta in hindsight) thankfull for what the other person did a minute ago. Not "I was grateful" but "I am still grateful" I haven't stopped being grateful, I still appreciate it. Sorry for my bad English, I'm from Germany.

[@isabellahomberger5030]

This simplifies what she said so thank you!

[@caseygreyson4178]

The way I always remember it is that arigato gozaimasu is “Thank you”, but arigato gozaimashita is “Thanks for that.” When you receive your food at a restaurant, say “arigato gozaimasu” but when you leave, say “arigato gozaimashita”

[@bobbifumi2006]

That's the way I learnt it. I think that's best way for all learners

[@SerHuntsReviews]

So thanks and thanks again! Nice 😂😂

[@Huankun]

Even though I've been studying Japanese for more than 5 years, I still have no idea when to use these 2. But, after I watched this video, I can finally use them correctly now! どうもありがとうございました！

Thanks teacher. Very useful tip for my speech tomorrow at Tokyo HQ.

[@donfatale]

Great tip. I think in English we'd say "Thanks again" and that's how I'll know when to say the second version. Would anglo/Japanese speakers agree?

[@WJRHalyn-jw2ho]

Fascinating and helpful. Just wondering if you could pronounce the terms a couple times very s-l-o-w-l-y, so we get a chance to fully hear all the nuances of pronunciation. Even learning martial arts, you learn your moves slowly and speed up with practice.

In romanian, The two form of addresing you are presenting in this lesson are said in Romanian like this. Arigato gozaimasu-Multumesc din inima and Arigato gozaimashta - Mulțumesc din suflet. Multumesc=arigato, inima=heart, suflet=soul. BE yourself Hiroko, you are so cute! 💞 Love and good thought to you, my dear! Adrian

Question: Should I say "(domo) arigato gozaimashita" after a budo lesson? -> To thank the teacher and fellow students for the training? I always get confused. Sensei ni rei -> domo arrigato gozaimashita / otagai ni rei -> domo arrigato gozaimashita.

I don’t think you guys realize how much weabs fuck it up for westerners living in or visiting Japan as normal human beings, not as weaboo freaks who fetishize Japanese culture. None of the hostess or maid clubs in Chiyoda will take foreigners, for example, and it’s a direct result of sweaty neckbeard weaboos running around that neighborhood because all the gaming and manga shops are there. I’ve seen some painfully cringeworthy weabs walking around Japan, and it’s just embarrassing for everyone.

Just saying, I never knew the difference between these, and the Japanese public do not mind, because they know that you mean a kind thankfulness regardless of which you use. Although, it is definitely worth learning the difference if you plan to study like I do.

According to my Japanese language partner, this is one of the few examples where it doesn't really matter which one you use. Typically ありがとうございます is just fine in most situations, well according to someone from Hokkaido anyway.

[@longhohoang2222]

I have a question: How to know when to use the dakuten and handakuten. For example when counting bottles: 1 bottle is IPPON, 3 bottles is SANBON, 4 bottles is YONHON. I felt like it's too complicated. Is there a rule to it?

[@angelbear_og]

Long Hồ Hoàng Three bottles is ぼん because the preceding sound is ん. Read about rendaku, which explains how and when the sound is changed when kanji are put together, as in はな to ばな in 生け花, and かね to がね in 黒金, etc. I don't recommend trying to memorize it all (unless you're already a linguistics genius), but it's an interesting read if you just take it casually. ^_^ Moving on... One bottle is いっぽん because the second syllable of いち is changed into a double-consonant before certain counters like this one, and you cannot double ほ or ぼ. Also applies to はち, ろく, and じゅう. You actually can just memorize them by counter, since there are only 10 counting numbers (11 being 10 + 1 again). Here is a list of some basic counters: www.tofugu.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/japanesecounters.pdf. You'll also see that different counters have slightly different rules, but there are patterns to be found. Someone who is Japanese can probably give better insight, but I figured I'd throw a little of what I've discovered out there to get you started. がんばって！

What's the difference between 'desu' and 'masu'? 2. When should I use particle 'ga' instead 'wa'? 3. What's the difference between particles 'wa' and 'ga'? Thank you for any answer ^•^

[@JapanesePod101]

MangaxOtakuxAnimexMureke Hello, MangaxOtakuxAnimexMureke Thank you for posting. 1. What's the difference between 'desu' and 'masu'? 'desu' is is/are 'Masu' in the end part of verb like tabemasu, nomimasu 2. When should I use particle 'ga' instead 'wa'? Depends on what you want to say. 'ga' is subject marker and 'wa' is topic marker. 3. What's the difference between particles 'wa' and 'ga'?
