That's interesting! In the US it's similar at someone's house its socially expected to ask permission to use the bathroom (usually implied by asking where it is even if they already know) but in public places like restaurants and shops you only ask if you genuinely can't figure it out.
I agree if it's not a close family member or friends house, if it's their home that you been to on many occasional i think we just stop asking to use bathroom after so many visits. A business on the other hand would be so strange to ask an employee if I can use the bathroom ,especially the larger stores etc, maybe a small mom and pop store it could make sense, but i certainly can't imagine going up to a Walmart employee asking if I can use their bathroom. However I do know there are some places in the US where you literally can't use a business's bathroom without asking or buying something first ,sometimes even keeping it locked to where you need to borrow a key or have them unlock it for you. I think this is mostly in some larger cities in busy area's where they are tired of non-customers always occupying the bathroom and making a mess.
I learned お手洗いを借りしてもいい when my Japanese girlfriend asked a worker at Trader Joe’s, in English, “Can I borrow your bathroom?” And he couldn’t help but chuckle. Lol
Lol. Honestly it doesn't sound that strange to me, saying if i can borrow the bathroom isn't that weird to me. Not sure why but I am pretty sure i've seen American's talk like that, just depends on who you talk to. But I can see how it may be funny.
in spanish "me prestas tu baño?" (can i borrow your bathroom?) is an informal way of saying it. in some regions "me regalas tu nombre?" is a way to ask for someone's name. regalar: to give a gift or present.
Lol. I live in Japan and My Japanese friends always ask to use the bathroom, it really confused me at first. Now I know them better Sometimes I say no just as a joke, luckily they laugh 💕
I am from the UK although I've not lived there for many years. I also ask to use the bathroom but my Japanese friends, even the one who come to my place a few times a week, ask every use 😅💕 most of them have kids so each visit they might ask 8 times if it's OK to use the bathroom. My family are very.... My house is your house, kinda people, so the super politeness was hard to get used to. I wanted my friends to feel comfortable enough to treat my place as their home. 💕
お手洗い so glad you went over this! I literally have had that written on a sticky note on my bathroom door for 3 years to practice and have been pronouncing it wrong 😭
I am going to Japan in a few weeks and I am so excited to go to コンビニ！ This video taught me: - buy something to use トイレ (and ask) - onigiri and fried chicken from Lawson - Fukuro = plastic bag
Misa Sensei, I work in fast food, so I can absolutely sympathize with your experiences with customers. Anyway, this is super useful. Thank you for all the great lessons.
So, I've lived my whole life in Europe (not have been in any country there though) But I have never experienced in a private household (when you are at friends) that people don't ask before using the bathroom. Maybe if you are almost every day and one friends house you won't ask anymore (due to the fact you are there almost daily) but otherwise people ask. At least my experience
I think she's talking about public toilets in shops...you don't need to ask before going to a toilet in a shop if it's public. I think that's what she meant anyway, I might be wrong
@@ouichtan Yeah I think it really just depends on who you're visiting or the kind of restaurant you're in. You definitely wouldn't ask to use the toilet at Mcdonald's.
@@coratisongames In France where I come from you have to get a code from the cashiers to unlock the door for the bathroom...is that just a weird French thing or is it the same everywhere else?
@@ouichtan in a McDonald's? In the Netherlands they're freely accessible. The same goes for most restaurants, but (convenience) stores rarely have one available. If you're a child they will let you use the one for employees, but die adults they will definitely think it's a bit weird.
@@ouichtan I think it's just a French thing. In China where I come from you don't have to ask any staff to use the bathroom. Because it's generally crowded everywhere and the staff won't even notice you. 😂
I love how you explain all of the little cultural details about things! - when to say something, adjacent relevant circumstances, variations and acceptable alterations..! 😭💜 thank you for all of the nuanced and yet easy to understand information !
I learned a lot from this video, thank you! When I lived in Japan I always heard people saying these kinds of things when shopping but never really figured out the exact meaning of the words. And yeah, I always said thank you to the staff (with a little bow/nod) as I left so you got me there, but I'll probably continue to do so even if it isn't natural Japanese people because that's just who I am!
Thankyou misa Sensei for this useful lesson. Sometimes I cant understand what staffs were saying before but now I will do. This is very helpful coz I do visit to conbini quite often. ☺️
Very useful and I will recommend as the first video for anyone visiting or moving to Japan! May I add that this channel has the best subtitles of any Japanese learning channel!
This was one of my favorite videos Japanese Ammo videos. Great to hear the insider info on the convenient stores in Japan. I'm obsessed with Japanese convenient stores and grocery stores. I practically live off of Family Mart, Lawson's and 7-11 when I'm traveling in Japan. 😂 So convenient to grab food on the go and the food is excellent compared to US convenient stores. However, my favorite convenient/grocery store I have been to in Japan is AEON Food Style. Excellent. I'd like to hear more insider info on the food in the convenient and grocery stores. 😂
Wonderfully useful! And easy to memorise! Maybe you could expand it to the phrases that people say in a fast food store or in a department store.... things like ," Dine in or take away?" and "Would you like this wrapped?" That would be a great help... there's always set phrases so when you learn them and learn to recognise them, your day goes so much smoother. Thanks so much!
I worked as a convenience store manager for 10 years. It was a fun job, but it was a little hard sometimes. I think there is a special comradery among former convenience store workers. 😊Thank you so much for this lesson. I will definitely use this next time I go to Japan.
Wow, your English has improves SO much since the last time I checked in!!! Your pronunciation sounds almost 100% native to my non-native ears! Impressive~
Thank you Sensei....Have been in love with your teaching material these days.. The Informative Content of the VDO,Background as well the perfect level of Volume in the Vdo makes it very interesting to listen to.. I hear it even when I am doing my house chores & it still grabs my attention all the time...Please keep doing such good quality, interesting Vdo's & you will be having loads of Likes & Shares soon, I know... Thank you.
Thanks for the recommendation for Lawson (as well as the phrases of course!) Whenever I’m in Japan (hopefully finally coming again in July on business!), I get a lot of my food from the konbini. I’ve usually gone to Family Mart or 7-11, but next time I’ll definitely look for a Lawson and check out their onigiri and chicken! 👍😋
Nice to hear your voice, you explain so clearly, now I can learn one of my favorite languages, just subscribed ! Please thank Google who showed me your site!
This is a great video and really covers a lot of the things they will actually say to you at a konbini in Japan. I wish I had found it 3 months ago when I arrived. I'll probably need to watch it a few more times though... it's a little advanced for me, but I believe it's good to hear at a speed and complexity that's realistic because most resources I've found don't. One thing that's a little different about where I am living is that I've never seen anyone (locals) ever ask to use the restroom at a konbini. Also, here onigiri is better at Family Mart, but I completely agree about Lawson chicken.
Haha, I've lived in Japan for well over 10 years, and on the few occasions I've seen customers getting angry with convenience store staff, they were always old men asking for cigarettes, but the staff not knowing where, or which ones they wanted.
And I will add on that, every time there was a problem in a konbini, it was due to an old person... A few times they tried to cut the line and go before me, that's funny when the staff tell them to line over there like any customer...
From experience working in a konbini in shibuya, I'd say the worst customers are usually old but the best customers are also usually old It's just like that in Japan, old people are just either awful or too kind, no in-between
This reminds me of nietzsche in the convenience store. He got annoyed with smokers but then realised they would get lung cancer quicker, so got quite enthusiastic about serving smokers. Everyone should watch that drama by the way its hilarious.
It’s been a few years now but I love that you have to ask for a bag at the conbini. I was floored many years ago when the staff took out a tiny bag and bagged my can of coke.
Watching this makes me think about my time in Japan. My airbnb only had one bathroom for 6 people so we always just walked to the コンビに and used that bathroom. I wonder if they thought we were rude lol. We usually bought breakfast from them afterwards though. I also said ありがとう to the cashiers all the time lol
So fun to learn about different cultures 😄 Here in Norway asking to use someone's bathroom depends on the relationship with the person you are visiting. If it's a friend one usually just says "eg ska bare på do" that has the same meaning as "just going to the toilet" and then just leaves for the bathroom. If it's someone's parents, acquaintance or intimate party at someone that's not close you ask if it's ok to use the bathroom ("umm, unnskyld, kan eg låna toalette?" Which means "umm, excuse me, may I borrow the toilet?") 😊 The rules are the same with public bathrooms here as explained in the video 😊
I want to keep learning Japanese but tbh depression/low motivation keeps stopping me and idk what to do tbh but whatever, she is rly good at teaching 日本語 and i hope she keeps going :)
I've been there. Try to do anything fun involving listening to Japanese like a video game with Japanese voice over. Also if you can get the Pimsleur audio CD those are great and since it's just listening it's more passive. A good thing I've learned is whenever you think of doing something you get about 5 seconds of will to get started. So whenever you think of learning Japanese click on a Misa video or something immediately. I hope I've been of some help. Good luck with life and learning Japanese.
I had been in Japan three years ago, but heard about the amazing Famichiki only few months ago. I was already planning to go to Japan again and as a fried chicken ethusiast (😁) I will try to get it. Since I don't speak Japanese I wanted to learn how to ask for it in the store in advance and I've seen many konbini vocabulary videos but your video is the best. Now I know how to order the Famichiki on my next trip! 😄 Thank you 🤩
Interesting, I've never noticed anyone asking conbini staff to use the restroom. Usually people just walk in and use it. It's rare to see anyone ask conbini staff anything, unless it's to locate a specific item that they want to buy.
I learned something today. I know that konbanwa is good evening, but now I know that koban is police box. You used it in a sentence “koban wa” and it worried me because I always struggle with saying good evening, and now I’m afraid I’m going to say police box to someone 🤣. Thanks for your videos! I love you❤️
First time in Japan in a コンビニ I was doing pretty well. Paid for it and everything! Then I was asked if I wanted a bag. Didn't know the phrase, wasn't expecting it and my brain locked up. Had to turn around and ask my daughter. She didn't know either, but she rolled her eyes and said "She probably just asked if you wanted a bag, dad!. If my brain hadn't frozen I probably could have figured that out myself.
Thanks for the lesson it is quite helpful. Could you make a video about other shop like butcher? For example, how to order custom mixture of grinded meat.
A math lesson in japanese would be nice. The basic operations and terms, fractions, etc.
As a programmer learning Japanese, this would be nice. Math and technology terms
Oh yeah. I am a mathematician and my dream is to read Matsumuras book on commutative algebra in its original language!
Okay now for some basic first grade math in Japanese. So, when you are trying to find the second order derivative of the polynomial...
yess
@@AesculapiusPiranha lol
People laugh at my love of convenience store rice balls, but my goodness they're so tastey!!!

Here in Norway asking to use someone's bathroom depends on the relationship with the person you are visiting. If it's a friend one usually just says "eg ska bare på do" that has the same meaning as "just going to the toilet" and then just leaves for the bathroom. If it's someone's parents, acquaintance or intimate party at someone that's not close you ask if it's ok to use the bathroom ("umm, unnskyld, kan eg låna toalette?"
