| Sakura: Yes. |
| Peter: And this is a very important one. So if you wanted to hang out with your friend, you’d say 遊びませんか。(Asobimasen ka.) |
| Sakura: Hmm… |
| Peter: Well of course in the formal way but… |
| Sakura: Yeah. |
| Peter: Yeah, it’s much more the informal way which is probably the one you’d use but that's a very different lesson but please remember, this word is to hang out also. Right, Sakura? |
