a quick message from our sponsor
hello there have you ever heard about
surf shark vpn i know you have haven't
you don't be shy i
i know you have thrift shark is an app
and a browser extension that basically
lets you place your laptop or your phone
anywhere in the world and then access
the internet as if you were in that
country for example while i was in
chinaland where their internet is highly
censored by the so-called
great firewall of china i had to use the
vpn to be even
able to upload my videos on youtube i
mean the fact that it's effective enough
to hide you from the chinese government
i think it's safe to say that anyone
could use a protection like that but
what makes surfshark better surfshark is
the only vpn that lets you use one
account on an
unlimited number of devices so click the
link in the description use the code
rafflepuff and get 85
off plus three extra months free so come
on just just click the link just
just click the link alright guys
everybody safe
yeah everybody safe so now let's uh
let's freaking do this
[Music]
is it just me or did it get incredibly
hot in here
now today i'm going to teach you guys a
very powerful plus
ultra useful phrase in japanese i have
used this phrase in japan countless
times and i'm not making it up when i
say that this one sentence has literally
saved my life the phrase i want to teach
you guys is
panzeniris which literally translates to
uh
i've got squirrels in my pants
now i know what you guys must be
thinking
thank god somebody finally taught me
this right am i right guys
am i right yes yes i am right of course
i am i mean i'm just talking from
experience here i have never learned
this phrase in any of my textbooks it's
just
it's just not there it's just not there
my paid japanese teacher has never
taught this to me but no worries guys
because that's why i'm here to teach you
guys all the wisdom i present
the first time i ever encountered this
sentence uh was in the show
phineas and ferb
all right now settle down everyone let's
break down this sentence
grammatically ponza is a japanese
loanword that in this context
means pans but i know some of you
already know what else it could mean
ni is the destination particle so
panzani
means independence erisa is the japanese
word for squirrel and fun fact the
written word is composed of two japanese
characters
kuri which means chestnut and nezumi
which means
mouse or a rat so nut rat is a squirrel
got is the subject marker meaning that
we're talking about the squirrel
in the pants and iren dayo is just a
form of the verb
to be or to have to exist now you could
also say
panzeniris nobody cares about the polite
form karen it doesn't really hit it you
know it doesn't really do the trick
why am i teaching this and now some
situations in which you can
use this sentence
[Music]
wait uh this uh this wasn't in the
script
all right um thanks for tuning in to
raffy's japanese academy
