Simple Japanese Words You Can Use


For those who are absolute fans of Japanese anime, cherry blossoms, or anything Japanese, learning simple Japanese words and learning how to write Japanese characters can be useful for when you finally travel to Japan or meet new friends who speak Japanese. Below are some of the most basic Japanese words to learn to help you converse in Japanese:

1.“Yoroshku onehgaishimus”

  • Saying “yoroshiku” to any Japanese-speaking person basically means that you are asking help for something you need. “Onegaishimuasu”, on the other hand, means “please”. In English the closest translation of this phrase is “please do your best and treat me well.”

2.“Eeshow ni kahrahokeh ni eekoh ka”

  • For those who love singing, here’s a phrase that translates to “shall we go to karaoke together?” So go ahead and ask your Japanese friend if they want to join you in a singing session by learning this phrase.

3. “Mo dameh. Yohparachatta. Gomen”

  • Here’s a useful phrase to say to those drunkard alcoholic friends who keep on pushing you to drink more even if you’ve had more than enough. This phrase means “No more, I’m already drunk. Sorry.”

4. “Kohnah ni keeray na to-ko-ro wa hahjeemehteh meetah”

  • When in doubt, use flattery. This Japanese words mean “I’ve never seen a place so beautiful before”. Say it to Japanese locals and watch them smile in agreement.

5.“Hontoe ni oheeshee des yo”

  • If you want to praise the chef or express delight in eating something, just say this phrase which translates to “For real, it’s yummy!” “Hontou ni” means “for real”.

6. “Suki desu”

  • Have a crush on someone or simply want to express your appreciation of a new friend you’ve met? Then tell them this phrase which translates to “I like you”.

7. “Aita yo”

  • Say this to your friend if you want to meet up with them for it means “I want to see you.”

8.“Aishiteru”

  • Last but not the least say this to a special person if you want to express your love for them.
