    GLOSSARY:
    JR: Japan Railways Group. Often used interchangeably with train.
    Toilet on trains: Please be noted that this may not be the case for many train lines. Don’t count on it! Make sure to go to restroom before you get on the train.
    Tonai: Tokyo
    Taiyaki: en.wikipedia.or...
    Hyotanage: Local food of Sendai. Hyotanage literally means
    “fried-gourd” but it actually is a gourd-shaped fried steamed kamaboko. It’s very similar to a corn dog but there’s fish inside instead of a sausage.

    Something I've noticed in Japanese:
    Why do so many sentences end in "と思います" ?
    I know what it means, but when you translate these sentences to English it seems unnecessary to include "I think" so often. Is it a cultural thing, or does it have a dual meaning?

    • @Bert4826
      @Bert4826 9 ปีที่แล้ว +42

      It is very cultural. It makes it softer. You are not saying it is this way. You are saying it's just your opinion.

    • @sakuraninja9073
      @sakuraninja9073 6 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      I agree that it's a cultural thing. They are really humble and modest so they seldom say things in a way as "state of fact" to make you feel "you have to take it". Instead they add it in most sentences to avoid sounding "arrogant". It's more obvious when they speak English, since they try to use " I think" in the end of most sentences too. : )

      ダイヤ・・・・・・ダイヤグラムの省略した言葉言葉です。Service Planning Diagram Abbreviation of Diagram  ダイヤ is train run diagram. I have to beg your pardon as a representative of Japanese people. As you know, Most of Japanese could not understand English at all because of Japan country surrounded by big Pacific Ocean and Japan Ocean so many years isolated from other countries., so Japanese invented katakana instead of English and same time they try to abbreviate the katakana(ダイヤグラム)to simple katakana(ダイヤ).

      mitai, or みたい, is added to the antecedent verb, and means "try to do sth" "would like to do sth." In this case, the antecedent verb is "Kiku", or to ask, and the entire phrase means "would like to ask about..." Incidentally, "Kiku" is inflected here to become "kiite" because of "mitai."

      LBW999 I see you have no idea about learning Japanese.
      You have no idea what you are talking about. Reading Kanji is so much different than to learning Hanzi.
      You telling me to read the Kanji with out learning the reading which is so stupid it proves you have no idea what you are talking.
      Romaji is never a good way to help a person to learn to read Japanese, it never was and never will be.

      How the fuck do you think I will read that with out Furigana? You are telling me to read that with out knowing the readings.
      Also don't use Google translate.
