when it comes to learning Japanese
you've got the big scary intimidating
stuff like learning hundreds if not
thousands of characters and then there's
the complicated grammar which can cause
a real headache but there's also the fun
easy to master bits which you can learn
in a day and get out and start using
right off the bat you'll find men
speaking Japanese and everyday
conversation a lot of people don't use
full sentences they just use one simple
word to express a feeling or emotion and
if you master the twenty five commonly
used words on this list today the moment
you set foot in Japan do we able to pick
up on conversations happening around you
more importantly you'll be able to show
appreciation for the food you eat the
people you meet and just have a lot more
fun along the way as well so today we're
joined by my good friend NAT ski however
while this is our day out in Tokyo and
the key 25 words we used along the way
let's go this is the room what do you
think it's often hear the word kid air
when somebody walks into a nice clean
beautiful space like this or it can be
pretty or beautiful when you're
referring to someone's face so for
example first to show netsuke this photo
of Natalie Portman and of course Reata
now aren't we okay that's key you know
what's in this bag this your Christmas
presents loser from 88 Christmas
presents whose sort means no way or
you're lying it's often used in jest
between friends and often twinned with
this short as well deshou means right
you saw this oh you're lying right I'm
not lying
these your Christmas presents not one
not two but three your first present it
is retro arcade pac-man Oh
psycho psycho psycho means the best the
number one the top most amazing thing
there's nothing better than it often
used to exaggerate something in this
case retro pac-man I think it fits the
bill rather well
mmm second present tiny arcade pac-man
the exact same game but in a much more
smaller form factor it is almost
comically small TI it means tiny cheese
signings small most people know the word
cheese silo people don't know chichay
which is tiny it's kind of small cheese
i twinned with that feeling of surprise
you know when you discover tiny pac-man
I wonder if there's a smaller pac-man
no there isn't it's just a tiny beer
third present see each I better good
friend good where's my corn automata to
snag one of the one that you miss their
Santa quick mr. Santa Kris I'll take it
nuts cause she caught ow
that's cuz she's a great word to know it
literally means nostalgic whether it's a
retro video game from your childhood or
this lovely photo of Nazi and I the
first time we met six years ago I look
at that it's first photo of us together
I feel that's Kushina feel nostalgic
that's goofy
[Music]
are you done yet a silver sea saga scene
is busy you can use it if you're busy at
work maybe the middle of the week you've
got a busy schedule say silver see you
finished I had that hard I had to
literally means empty stomach the polite
way of saying it is all knuckle sweeter
but had a head is a lot more colloquial
informal and you're more likely to hear
it amongst friends but should we go for
lunch let's go let's go
I found a good fried chicken restaurant
about 25 minutes away should be turning
a 5 minute man look sad and dockside
your friend says that it's pretty much
game over it means they'd rather do
something else men docks I kind of means
troublesome bothersome pain in the ass
the way I like to interpret it as a
British person is it means that's a lot
of effort isn't it so when your friend
says that it's game over man looks at
alright let's try somewhere else
[Music]
what do it go before the homophobic or
normal deaf client I see the word for
big is or keep in the heat at the moment
but you're surprised by something that's
really big
you might hear the word fifth I like
these German sausages my my my my
everybody knows the word delicious but
delicious is beliefs you but I find the
way she could you say even if it isn't
delicious they're just stable easy
because it's almost like to show respect
for the restaurant he'll rain or the
person who's cook the dinner just to say
police she I've never ever heard a
Japanese person criticize of meal
they've had so if they say the my she's
the next level up from Alicia do you
know they like it you know they
genuinely like it and look at his little
face
oh my boys awesome engine us misery see
another good work misery she means rare
or unusual sausages like this are rare
in Japan often german restaurants
Mizrachi great word to no means rare or
unusual for example snow in tokyo
amazing a day when asked he goes without
alcohol laser does shoot a day where I'm
not smiling visit us hey exactly every
day every day
that was a good feel little pretty
stuffed oh yeah what you will do now got
a coffee no me no me just you sit there
then we mean sleepy or drowsy which you
might be feeling after the big meal we
just had it's the last word you'll hear
before someone closes their eyes and
goes sleep for a nap alright I'll get
the coffee then you wait here see in a
minute I'm not there Tommy see ya
[Applause]
sorry Shana
Chris assuming they're gonna star might
they still be there Sammy's gina asking
don't shake wake up put your coffee well
I'll make that way that way unbelievable
it's all right for some isn't it go
around spending great expense and coffee
while others have a nice afternoon nap
after a good lunch so let's see ah yeah
obviously the word for hot is that's
three a lot of people know that but if
you're short on that sweet actor that's
the noise people make when they've just
had their mouth burn now if I just burn
themselves in general that's it
similar to the word it tied it timings
painful but if you actually hurt
yourself and say ouch they short on it
too it's a diamond on my psyche avatar
much they're much too seriously another
good word that you hear come up in Le
every other conversation with friends
it's an informal phrase Maji there it
means seriously or for real I hear
certain people use it more than others
for example real true 10 sees the word
mash they're quite a lot in conversation
but it's not polite so be careful when
you're using it the more safe option is
hon tony right on Tony Montana Cortina
why I hold it - neither one yeah I'm
trying to cut caffeine outside drink a
lot of coffee I'm trying to be a little
bit more healthy going forward house
here mine is there I've had a nice lunch
messengered coffee now do some shopping
shopping yeah
it's really boring to modernize the word
for boring in Japanese people often
shortened it to saman I they drop their
bath sounds just because it's more easy
to say I don't think I'm shopping to
that for it I'll get you another
Christmas presents Superman unbelievable
got some hats
can I hear your thoughts starting with
this one
we think of that duster with us sir
uncle unsophisticated unfashionable not
good about this one Oh God freedom cut
we cool fashionable good car court means
appearance e means good so literally a
good appearance you can't use the word
cat qui to mean cool what we do in
English where we can say oh that sounds
cool it's usually for appearances alone
physical things but nevertheless I am
chuckling there you go no doubt about it
[Music]
Japanese stores are so intensive though
there's so much going on there speakers
lights flashing TV screens play so
bloody loud one fact aside that is a
great word do this so it means noisy
like this store like this shop has two
meanings that literally mean noisy or it
can also mean annoying for example if
you pissed off your friend by that's key
do you look like crap today
who the same Naruto literally you're
annoying me go away you know that bad
you look right I think I found a skis
second Christmas present this is suck it
as a cup of Sukkot in the shape of a
sperm who thought this was an
appropriate idea oh my god your second
Christmas present it certainly exceeded
my expectations
very cool yeah yeah have a have a look
at that Christmas oh yeah get in the
spirit
[Laughter]
no you drink here this is quickly
turning into a video that is far from
family-friendly but we've heard nasty
saves to get a minute ago so gays the
more informal the more masculine way of
saying Sugoi the word that you probably
hear more than any other in everyday
life in Japan whether it's on TV or on
the streets Sugoi means amazing
incredible and sooo gay is the more
masculine version of it and that is
Sudhir very much too gay we're drink it
yeah not here you can't drink that on
the street hear what people think
let's go and have a proper drink gonna
need it after that try the droop they've
all been waiting for
sperm liquor I just this day wasn't at
all scripted or planned
no no this is a complete spontaneous
turn of events and I want you to drink
that drink drink it I want the full
review why is this a thing okay little
face what's going on
mother mother mozzie my not surprised
Marva means well horrible not tasty
completely undelicious disgusting
basically don't they use that in a
restaurant though because you will get
thrown out the window it's not phrase
you hear often only when people are
drinking questionable and daring items
such as this one bunny mother ego have
some water wash your mouth out from the
sperm look here maybe next week got a
Christmas party up in Tahoe can you join
on nervous
oh really what mizakowski means
difficult it's used in two ways first it
means difficult as in difficult aka the
pac-man game we saw earlier that was mr.
Keshe that was pretty difficult and also
it means know in Japanese the word for
now is ear but nobody ever says yeah
because it just seems too rude it seems
a bit to crash in reality the only time
you use ear is when you're turning down
a compliment so if someone ever
compliments your Japanese for example
says your uncle Joseph you would say are
though here yeah no I'm not that good in
reality mizuka she is used to me knows
if I asked Nats gif he's free next week
to go to a party and he said no it's
difficult that means it's game over
once you've heard Ms Akashi basically it
means no shut it down from there you
can't correct is one of the most
commonly used words you'll ever hear in
Japan memory which we heard earlier
means sleepy drowsy the Scarlet er
insinuates that you've had a long day
usually at work doing something physical
and you're kind of exhausted physically
you're ready to go at home you ready to
sleep as now skis right now good night
now ski so that was our down and take
you in the 25 words we used along the
way to have fun better fun time very fun
I hope you learn some new words and all
the ways well guys I'm sure you already
knew quite a few of them but hopefully
there's one or two new ones and if
you're wondering if this is actually
good the tiny chick eyepatch manner we
didn't unboxing on a separate video
where you can see if they're actually
playable or not but if you didn't learn
any new words you at least learned that
this is a drink best avoided sperm the
