| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Peter: Yoshi-san, let’s ask Take-san what he thought of today’s conversation. |
| Yoshi: たけさん、今日の会話はどうでしたか。(Take-san, kyō no kaiwa wa dō deshita ka.) |
| Take: いやあ、まさかの展開というか、ビックリしましたね。(Iyā, masaka no tenkai to iu ka, bikkuri shimashita ne.) |
| Peter: So Take-san, you were surprised by the unexpected twist. |
| Take: そうですね、本当にビックリしました。(Sō desu ne, hontō ni bikkuri shimashita.) |
| Peter: And Yoshi, how about you? よしさんの気持ちはどうでしょうね。(Yoshi-san no kimochi wa dō deshō ne.) |
| Yoshi: 信じられません。(Shinjiraremasen.) |
| Peter: Can’t believe it. Take-san yeah, you are the winner here. Yoshi-san, how do you feel about this? |
| Yoshi: 信じられません。(Shinjiraremasen.) |
| Take: やっぱりこれは、たけさんの魅力ってことですかね。あっ、関係ない？(Yappari kore wa, Take-san no miryoku tte koto desu ka ne. A, kankei nai?) |
| Yoshi: 恐れ入ります。(Osoreirimasu.) |
| Peter: Whoa! Yoshi-san, that was some really nice Japanese there and so Take-san, you feel you have some kind of special attraction, 魅力 (miryoku). |
| Take: いやあ、それはもちろんそうですよ。(Iyā, sore wa mochiron sō desu yo.) |
| Peter: Wow! This is a really self confident Take-san today. |
| Take: 僕はいつも自信いっぱいですから。(Boku wa itsumo jishin ippai desu kara.) |
| Peter: All right. We have another Take today. たけ、教えて？(Take, oshiete?) |
| Take: すいません、ちょっと今興奮しました。(Suimasen, chotto ima kōfun shimashita.) |
| Peter: Wow! So confident but I think a girl like that would like that. So I think yeah now I can understand why モテモテたけさん (motemote Take-san). |
| Take: はい。今日はモテモテたけさんでいってみます。残念だけど、よしはダメだと思います。(Hai. Kyō wa motemote Take-san de itte mimasu. Zannen da kedo, Yoshi wa dame da to omoimasu.) |
| Peter: And Yoshi doesn’t have it. You know what, let’s back on track, back on track. Let’s try to do some of these vocab words here. Yoshi-san, first word. |
| VOCAB LIST |
| Yoshi: ファン (fan) |
| Peter: Fan. |
| Yoshi: (slow) ふぁん (fan) (natural speed) ファン (fan) |
| Peter: Sample sentence, please. |
| Yoshi: 私は Japanesepod101のファンです。(Watashi wa Japanīzupoddo ichi maru ichi no fan desu.) |
| Peter: I am a fan of japanesepod101.com. Yoshi-san, now that’s a good sample sentence. Our marketing people are going to be very happy with that. Okay, next we have |
| Take: 変わっている (kawatte iru) |
| Peter: Strange. |
| Take: (slow) かわっている (kawatte iru) (natural speed) 変わっている (kawatte iru) |
| Peter: Now Yoshi-san, this is based off of what verb? |
| Yoshi: 変わる (kawaru) |
| Peter: To change. Now it’s in the present progressive form here, 変わっている (kawatte iru) but again in Japanese, this represents a state, the state of being changed. This is again the literal meaning. Now when we interpret this, it’s interpreted as being strange. He is in a state of being changed. He is strange and if you have lots of friends like I do, this will come in very handy. Take-san, sample sentence please. |
| Take: ピーターさんとよしさんは変わっています。(Pītā-san to Yoshi-san wa kawatte imasu.) |
| Peter: Peter and Yoshi are strange. |
| Yoshi: あれ、たけさん、一人忘れていませんか。(Are, Take-san, hitori wasurete imasen ka.) |
| Take: いえいえ、いえいえ。(Ie ie, ie ie.) |
| Peter: Did you forget somebody, Take-san? |
| Yoshi: 三人じゃないですか。(San-nin ja nai desu ka.) |
| Take: いや、僕は普通ですから。(Iya, boku wa futsū desu kara.) |
| Peter: Do you believe this guy today? 信じられないですね。(Shinjirarenai desu ne.) |
| Take: 続けてください。(Tsuzukete kudasai.) |
| Peter: Thank you. Thank you master, thank you before…Oh boy! Next we have |
| Yoshi: 先ほど (sakihodo) |
| Peter: Some time ago. |
| Yoshi: (slow) さきほど (sakihodo) (natural speed) 先ほど (sakihodo) |
| Peter: For me, this usually means a short period of time ago relatively recently. Yoshi-san, can you help us understand this word? How long would you say you can use 先ほど (sakihodo)? |
| Yoshi: You should be talking about something that just happened like a really short time ago but it could go up to like a few hours possibly like if you all know what you are talking about. |
| Peter: The key here is a really short time, 先ほど電話がありました (sakihodo denwa ga arimashita). You had a call a few minutes ago. A relatively short time in the past and as Yoshi said, a few hour stops. Yoshi-san, example please. |
| Yoshi: ピーターさん、先ほどお電話がありましたよ。(Pītā-san, sakihodo o-denwa ga arimashita yo.) |
| Peter: Peter, you had a call a few minutes ago. Take-san, can you give us one? |
| Yoshi: たけさん、ピーターさんは？(Take-san, Pītā-san wa?) |
| Take: あっ、先ほど出かけましたけど。(A, sakihodo dekakemashita kedo.) |
| Peter: One more time. |
| Yoshi: タケさん、ピーターさんは？(Take-san, Pītā-san wa?) |
| Peter: Take, where is Peter? |
| Take: あっ、先ほど出かけましたけど。(A, sakihodo dekakemashita kedo.) |
| Peter: He’d left a few minutes ago. Next. |
| Take: 現れる (arawareru) |
| Peter: To appear, to become visible. |
| Take: (slow) あらわれる (arawareru) (natural speed) 現れる (arawareru) |
| 雨の後虹が現れた。(Ame no ato niji ga arawareta.) |
| Peter: A rainbow appeared after the rain. Next. |
| Yoshi: 埋め合わせ (umeawase) |
| Peter: Compensation. |
| Yoshi: (slow) うめあわせ (umeawase) (natural speed) 埋め合わせ (umeawase) |
| 約束を破った埋め合わせをする。(Yakusoku o yabutta umeawase o suru.) |
| Peter: To compensate after breaking a promise. |
| Take: バンド (bando) |
| Peter: Banned. |
| Take: (slow) ばんど (bando) (natural speed) バンド (bando) |
| Peter: Of course from the English word band. Then we have related to band |
| Take: ライブ (raibu) |
| Peter: Live. |
| Take: (slow) らいぶ (raibu) (natural speed) ライブ (raibu) |
| 友達のバンドのライブを見に行く。 (Tomodachi no bando no raibu o mi ni iku.) |
| Peter: I will go to watch my friend’s band’s live show. Next. |
| Yoshi: 乱暴 (ranbō) |
| Peter: Violent, rude. |
| Yoshi: (slow) らんぼう (ranbō) (natural speed) 乱暴 (ranbō) |
| 君の言動は乱暴だ。(Kimi no gendō wa ranbō da.) |
| Peter: Your behavior is rude and last one. |
| Yoshi: 喜ぶ (yorokobu) |
| Peter: To be happy. |
| Yoshi: (slow) よろこぶ (yorokobu) (natural speed) 喜ぶ (yorokobu) |
| Peter: And in the dialogue Yoshi-san, what do we have? |
| Yoshi: 喜んで (yorokonde) |
| Peter: Now this expression means with pleasure, gladly. Break it down. |
| Yoshi: (slow) よろこんで (yorokonde) (natural speed) 喜んで (yorokonde) |
| VOCAB AND PHRASE USAGE |
| Peter: Okay, now let’s take a look at some of the expressions in today’s dialogue. First expression. |
| Yoshi: 知らない人が現れて、つまり、ごめんなさい。(Shiranai hito ga arawarete, tsumari, gomen nasai.) |
| Peter: A person I didn’t know appeared. In short, I am sorry. Now the first part of this is, Yoshi-san. |
| Yoshi: 知らない (shiranai) |
| Peter: To not know, followed by |
| Yoshi: 人 (hito) |
| Peter: To not know a person, literally. Again we interpret here, a person I don’t know interprets again to a stranger. This is marked by the particle |
| Yoshi: が (ga) |
| Peter: Followed by |
| Yoshi: 現れて (arawarete) |
| Peter: To appear. Stranger appears. Again we have to interpret. A stranger appeared, followed by |
| Yoshi: つまり (tsumari) |
| Peter: In short. Use when you wrap up things if you have a long explanation and you get to your main point, you can say |
| Yoshi: つまり (tsumari) |
| Peter: Followed by |
| Yoshi: ごめんなさい (gomen nasai) |
| Peter: In short, I am sorry. So this is used because she is trying to explain about the situation that happened previously. He went to the house, she was short with him. He came back. So she felt bad about this and now she is explaining her reasoning. Okay, so she introduces a topic with |
| “a stranger appeared.” The inferred part and that’s why I did that. In short, I am sorry and again in Japanese, the inferred part is not put in here. In English, we do this too especially when you are apologizing to someone, you have to get very creative and you don’t want to say it again. So a lot’s read in between the lines. Okay, this is followed by, Take-san. |
| Take: いいえ、こちらこそ。(Iie, kochira koso.) |
| Peter: No, same here. He has the same feeling that there was kind of a misunderstanding and the reason being |
| Take: 乱暴にドアを叩いて申し訳ございません。(Ranbō ni doa o tataite mōshiwake gozaimasen.) |
| Peter: I am sorry for pounding the door. First word is, Yoshi-san. |
| Yoshi: 乱暴 (ranbō) |
| Peter: Violent, marked by the particle |
| Yoshi: に (ni) |
| Peter: So we have “violently.” We are followed by |
| Yoshi: ドア (doa) |
| Peter: And this is marked by |
| Yoshi: を (o) |
| Peter: Followed by |
| Yoshi: 叩いて (tataite) |
| Peter: Te-form of |
| Yoshi: 叩く (tataku) |
| Peter: To hit. So again we interpret, I violently hit the door, followed by |
| Yoshi: 申し訳ございません (mōshiwake gozaimasen) |
| Peter: I am sorry. I am sorry for pounding on your door. It’s how we interpret the sentence 申し訳ございません (mōshiwake gozaimasen). This is the Japanese way of saying I am sorry in an extremely polite manner. All right, so as we said, we are running out of time. That’s going to do it for today. So much more to cover but inside the PDF, we will have a write up about what we covered today. Again some really useful phrases here. Right, Yoshi-san? |
| Yoshi: Yes, that’s right. |
Outro |
|---|
| Peter: I personally like つまり (tsumari). つまり (tsumari) we are out of time. That’s going to do for today. |
| Yoshi: またね。(Mata ne.) |
