The true meaning of SAYONARA and the phrases that can replace it

[@duncanbradshaw8993]

I enjoy "Moci's" lessons because they are cheerful, well thought out and apt. It is better to learn proper words and phrases the first time around, rather than having to "re-learn them." 🙂

[@paulwalther5237]

All my Japanese teachers on iTalki say さようなら to me at the end of the lesson and I think they didn't like me. I didn't know they say this in school so it's actually kind of appropriate.

[@mnemonic8757]

I had the same thing. The teacher always said goodbye to me with sayonara, although we talked rather casually. I always wondered if she treated me with distance or just used simple words to make it easier for me to understand.

[@mochirealjapanese3430]

at school we usually say さようなら so don't worry!😊

[@Caduceus444]

It was so clear and understandable that I didn't even had to take notes. well done!

How do you say goodbye to a stranger person, for example in a konbini or in a hotel? Can you use the same phrases you use for friends or are these too informal?

The old Vikings and the Japanese have much in common, everything has spirit! 😊

[@TalesofDawnandDusk]

As someone who translates 1000 year old Japanese folktales and puts them on KZbin, I was hoping this would be a video explaining what "sayonara" means, i.e. that it means something like "if it must be so," and it's relationship to the older "saraba." But then I remembered that most people aren't overly obsessed with Heian Period Classical Japanese and I'm just a hopelessly massive nerd. Oh well. Maybe next video. さらばこそあれ

[@enrich333]

This is awesome!

[@mochirealjapanese3430]

arigato!!!

[@DragonKingGaav]

She's SO pretty!

[@HumbleBee123]

Yes she is but more importantly, her videos are informative and easy to follow. Just saying she is pretty sounds creepy. Maybe mention something about whats relevant in the video too.

[@PussyArun]

Indeed, So fking pretty and hot too

[@PussyArun]

Not gonna lie, she's a wife material

[@Joseph99588]

Hi

[@Hola-ro6yv]

@@HumbleBee123you’re correct about her videos being informative. But you’re dead WRONG that compliments on her being attractive are somehow “creepy”. And that’s not just my opinion. Mochi herself does NOT find comments like that creepy. How do I know this? Because she places hearts ❤️ on comments like that frequently. And sometimes she even responds by thanking the person who said she is pretty. In case you didn’t know, girls and women enjoy being told they’re attractive. So do us all a favor and just mind your own business. The fact that you are out here trying to be her white knight actually makes YOU the creepy one.

[@MDonovan]

Casual but very common and acceptable

[@mochirealjapanese3430]

yes😊

[@RiverWorksCo]

先生, apart from またね/またな と じゃあね/じゃあな, is there any masculine form for the other phrases, or they are used the same way by both gender?

[@mochirealjapanese3430]

I have also been hearing.じゃまたね. On a lot of videos.

yes!じゃまたねalso means see you☺️

[@VashTheTyphonicStampede]

Mochi-sensei! 🙂 I have a question - What really is the usage of "o" in the Japanese words/sentences? I noticed "o" is added when the sentence is a question (example: o-genki desu ka?) However I also notice it added in other words, noun or verb (example: o-sara , o-tsukare)

[@mochirealjapanese3430]

we add "o" as honorific form☺️ commonly used in a business situations!

[@ronaldduque1689]

😭😭😭 forever good bye SAYONARA In other words, SAYONARA is forever goodbye From now on I will Study your word Thanks for the tutorial

[@mochirealjapanese3430]

thank you!

[@Hola-ro6yv]

Mochi Sensei, thankyou for another great video! I was just wondering why kids use sayonara in daily life to their teachers but adults rarely use it. Is it impolite for adults but not for kids? What if a kid uses one of those other forms of goodbye instead of sayonara to their teachers? Is it considered rude?

[@mochirealjapanese3430]

it's not rude at all😊
