  • Many textbooks says " Onamae wa nan desuka " as " What's your name ? ".
    It's grammatically correct, but actually it's a bit rude.
    I will explain why it is bad and introduce other expressions.
    Additional imformation : Here's a short summary of " ・・・・・wa ・・・・desuka" expression.

    I only discovered this channel yesterday. Today on my break I saw this video and had to decide whether I would watch it and study my Japanese, or watch something that is fun and relaxing. I decided to watch this video, and I ended up learning AND having so much fun. I laughed so much! Thank you for your hard work!

    I appreciate the effort put into this video, i enjoyed every second, it will most likely help me during my japanese test
    (Update) I didn’t use these variants and took her advice, i used the regular one and it landed me an A on the test

      If you will take JLTP test, my videos may not be so good for the test. You should get textbooks for JLPT.

    Sensei Soma is the best Japanese teacher on TH-cam, by far. These videos are not only incredibly hilarious, but mind-bogglingly intelligent & helpful. I am only a shoshinsha (beginner), but I would vastly prefer to learn the correct way from the very start. I think Sensei must be an both a top academic, & also a famous actress. I am in awe of Sensei's skills! (This channel should have many more subscribers.). I'm extremely grateful for all Sensei's hard work. Domo arigatou gozaimashita! 🤩🍒

    I always think that "o namae ha nan desuka " was rare xDD because nan is " what" and for asking a name the question is "Which". But nobody tell "o namae ha doreno desuka" as a type of answer. Why?

      I"m not sure what comic purpose you have. I don't recommend using rude greeting for others. But we have 名をなのれ (bossy,rude,and old ).Don't use it.

      That's one of very polite expressions. You can use it in business or polite situation.

      @SeizeJapanese  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      However. I'd say お名前を お伺いしても よろしいでしょうか?
      If you like to use this expression. you should put を after お名前。
      and よろしいでしょうかis the politest , but 伺ってもis little bit less polite, so ↑↑↑ お伺いしても should be replaced here.

      One more thing ,😅 This is the expression that workers use to their customers,so it's toooooo polite in daily situation. In daily conversation, Please use phrases that I introduced in this video.
