Hey guys and girls on ask Japanese I recently learned a new window uh a new word and it's called "social window"
and I didn't know this word before. Do you know the word
or the meaning of the word when Japanese people say when they mean social window you probably don't
and we're gonna go hit the streets and ask some poor poor foreigners to find out what it is so let's go and ask foreigners in Japan
and test your own skill let's see if you can figure it out
"Shakai no mado" that's a Japanese word if you translate it means a "social window"
oh social window ? - what is your social window?
Hmmm
I have no idea
social.... window....?
and yeah generally you say "don't leave your social window open!"
you should never leave your social window open in public
???
is just a window to your heart or something is it?
That's nice but you shouldn't leave that just randomly open I guess
but same thing maybe don't leave it open.. or maybe you have to leave it open who knows depends on what left stage in your life you're on
I definitely agree with that yeah
Is it like your bathroom window? I don't know
no it's not a window in a building
oh eyes? - the mouth?
The mouth would be clever because you're chatting too much so "close your social window"
if you open your social window everyone's gonna go
(sniggers)
Hint is, you all of three have that social window on you right now I don't have it
a jacket no?
It's very social that's something that's a type of social you don't want to share with people
okay germanism I'm gonna try and say "a bird is flying out!"
Ok I lost you with that one
I know mado is window but I don't know what it means
let's say like this those two guys have the social window we currently don't have the social window
is it like close friends?
- it is it's clothes related where could your social window be and you should never leave your social window open
- you give it to him? - okay don't leave your social window open your bag ?
Hint please please

That is Shakai no Mado!
What social stuff is going on down there!
oh yeah what's the French word for social window of like "your fly is open!" what do you say in French?
We have no special expression - I don't think so
