@ san
San is a title placed after both women's and men's names. It is not polite to refer to someone by name without
adding san or some other title, such as sensee, which is used for teachers and doctors. But you should never
use san when you say your own name. For children, chan is generally added instead of san, but for boys, kun
is often used.
@ Where you are from?
When you are telling someone where you come from, you can say “(country) kera kimashita’. To be more
specific you can say «(country) zo (city/town) kara kimashita’.
Watashi wa chuugoku no pekin kara kimashita. I came from Beijing, China.

@ Counting System
When counting from 1 to very large numbers, the Japanese system is logical and there are very few exceptions.
Once you learn 1 through 10, you can count to 99. Then you only need to learn the words for 100, 1000, 10000
etc,

@ ano(o)
Ano(o) indicates that you have some reservations about saying what you are going to say next. You may be
worried about interrupting something someone is currently doing, or sounding rude and impolite or asking
personal questions.
@ Giving and Receiving a Gift
When giving a gift the giver usually says it isn’t very nice, sumaranai mono desu ga, to show that it is not good
enough for the person receiving it. (Cf course the gift is actually nice.) But it can be surprising when someone
hands you something saying ‘this is really nothing at all’. When receiving a gift, it is traditional to say
sumimasen, \’m sorry (as in, | am sorry that you took the trouble for me), and then many will say ‘thank you’.
Nowadays most young people just say ‘thank you’, arigatoe gozaimasu.
@ Refusing
If someone offers you something you do not want it is difficult to know how to refuse politely. If it is food or a
drink you can say
Arigatoo gozaimasu, demo moo onaka ga ippai desu. | Thank you, but I am already full.
In Japan people try to avoid a direct ‘No (ée)’ and prefer the more gentle chotto to refuse requests, suggestions, or
invitations.
A: Do-yoobi ni eega o mimasen ka? Will you see a movie (with me) on Saturday?
B: De-yoobi (or eega) wa chotto--- Saturday (or a movie) is not convenient.
(lit, Saturday [or a movie] is a little bit.)
Chotto originally means ‘a little’, ‘a pit’, ‘a small amount’, as in chotto kudasai (Please give me a little) and
chotto matte kudasai (Please wait a minute). So ‘chotto--” is often used to imply a refusal, such as ‘(something
is) a little (inconvenient)’.
@ After a Visit
If you have visited someone’s house, or someone did a kindness for you, of course you will thank that person at
the time. In Japan it is also customary to refer to it and express thanks again the next time you meet, even if it is
several days or weeks later.
Senjitsu wa arigatoo gozaimashita, Thank you for the other day.
Kono alda wa osewa ni narimashita. Thank you for your help the other day.
Senjitsu wa doomo. (Can be used for either case.)

@ sumimasen
The word sumimasen is used in three ways:
1. To call or get someone's attention.
2. To say excuse me, or] am sorry,
3. Instead of ‘thank you’.
@ doomo
Doomo is a word you will hear often and you might wonder why it can be used in so many situations. The
dictionary translates it as ‘indeed’ or ‘somehow’, but basically it shows the sincerity of the speaker. So doomo
arigatoo means ‘thank you, indeed’. Since the intended meaning is usually understood, it is okay to shorten the
phrase to deomo, Listen for the word in conversations around you. You will be surprised by the variety of uses.
(See p.13 and 22) It can also indicate a negative feeling as in watashi wa doomo — ‘1 somehow (don't think so)’.
@ Addresses
In Japan addresses are written from general to specific. The prefecture or city comes first, then the district name
and house number, and finally, the name of the person. For example:
7790-0001 Ehime-ken Matsuyama-shi
Bunkyo-cho 3-chome 1-11] (I-11 3-chome Bunkyo-cho is also okay)
Toyota Ichiro (family name, given name}
T is written before the postal code when you write an address. It is also the symbol for the post office. It is
used as a post office symbol on maps and if you see it in town it indicates a post office or a place you can buy
stamps.
When telling someone your address make sure you can say it clearly and in the same order as it is written.
@ Filling in boxed forms
You will probably have to fill in many forms during your stay in Japan. Many forms have boxes. Each box
holds one unit of the written name.

@Taking a Bath in Japan
The Japanese bath is used for relaxation as well as for washing. A hot bath is good for circulation and it
warms you completely before going to bed, which is great on cold, winter nights.
When you stay with someone overnight they will usually offer you the bath early, sometimes before the
evening meal, because they want you to feel relaxed, The guest goes first so that he or she gets the
freshly prepared bath. It is a good idea to go when it is offered, because everyone else will have to wait
until you have finished.
Here are the general rules for taking a bath:
1, Remove your clothes and leave them in the changing room. (In a large, public bath there will be
lockers in which you can keep your clothes. Take the key with you into the bathing area.)
2. Take a wash towel with you and enter the bathing area. Do not get in the bath yet! First wash
yourself. (In large baths there is often soap, shampoo and rinse available, Be carefut not to splash
other people as you rinse off.)
3. Once you are clean you can remove the cover and get in the bath. Do not put your wash cloth or
towel in the bath water. The water is sometimes hot, so go in slowly. Do not stay too long or you
might feel faint when you get out.
4. You can wash again and repeat the process.
5. Ifyou are at someone's house, then put the cover back on the bath tub before you leave the bathroom.
This will keep the heat in. Do not empty the water! Everyone will use it. (That is why you wash
well before getting in.)
