| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Peter: So Takase, what do you think of this guy, Yoshi? |
| Takase: He is cute. |
| Peter: What do you think about this guy, Yoshi, かわいい服 (kawaii fuku)？ |
| Takase: Yes, that’s the point, right Yoshi? |
| Yoshi: Umm yes… |
| VOCAB AND PHRASE USAGE |
| Peter: Ah Takase. Again we ran a bit late. So let’s get right into the vocabulary. First word. |
| Yoshi: いっぱい (ippai) |
| Peter: It can mean a lot and it can also mean full. |
| Yoshi: (slow)いっぱい (ippai) (natural speed)いっぱい (ippai) |
| Peter: And we covered this word before. We just wanted to bring it up again and give you a little reminder. Again what’s the example we had for full? |
| Yoshi: お腹いっぱい (onaka ippai) |
| Peter: And this is. |
| Yoshi: I am full. |
| Peter: And we gave you the informal version. What’s the formal version? |
| Yoshi: お腹がいっぱいです。(Onaka ga ippai desu.) |
| Peter: I am full. And in the dialogue, we used. |
| Yoshi: 人がいっぱいいますね。(Hito ga ippai imasu ne.) |
| Peter: Which means |
| Yoshi: There are lots of people. |
| Peter: Next we have. |
| Takase: ぴったり (pittari) |
| Peter: Just |
| Takase: (slow)ぴったり (pittari) (natural speed)ぴったり (pittari) |
| Peter: Okay. In the dialogue, we said |
| Takase: ぴったりです (pittari desu) |
| Peter: And |
| Takase: ぴったり2時半です (pittari ni-ji han desu) |
| Peter: Right at 2:30. So this expression is used with time a lot. Also, is there another way we can use this, Takase? |
| Takase: Yes umm, when your clothes just fit. |
| Peter: Yeah, so I have this nice leather jacket, I put it on, fits just right. I can say |
| Takase: ぴったりです (pittari desu) |
| Peter: Okay. Perfect fit. |
| Takase: ぴったりです (pittari desu) |
| Peter: Just the right size and there is one more point we’d like to make about. |
| Yoshi: いっぱい (ippai) |
| Peter: And |
| Takase: ぴったり (pittari) |
| Peter: In both these words, there is a small つ (tsu), a 小さいつ (chiisai tsu) or ちっちゃいつ (chitchai tsu) and this means that we have to – we actually have to pause or hold for a little bit over this つ (tsu), this ちっちゃいつ (chitchai tsu). So can you give us the slow pronunciation one more time, Yoshi. |
| Yoshi: (slow)いっぱい (ippai) |
| Peter: There is a short hold in there and Takase, can you give us? |
| Takase: (slow)ぴったり (pittari) |
| Peter: So again this will come in time and this is one of the finer pronunciation points that is quite difficult to pick up in Japanese. I myself have a tough time with this. Right, Takase? |
| Takase: I don’t know. |
| Peter: Okay, well how is my pronunciation, ぴったり (pittari)? |
| Takase: It’s okay. |
| Peter: Takase, your Japanese remember yesterday, you are supposed to say, お上手ですね。(O-jōzu desu ne.) |
| Takase: お上手ですよ。(O-jōzu desu yo.) |
| Peter: Ah thank you, Takase. Now that’s encouraging. I feel good. |
| Takase: 頑張ってください。(Ganbatte kudasai.) |
| Peter: Okay. Next up we have |
| Yoshi: 半 (han) |
| Peter: Half. |
| Yoshi: (slow)はん (han) (natural speed)半 (han) |
| Peter: When used with time, it is half past as in the example we had |
| Yoshi: 今2時半です。(Ima ni-ji han desu.) |
| Peter: It’s 2:30 now. Now used in other contexts, it means half. You can also find this used with and there is also another popular construction and this is |
| Yoshi: 半分 (hanbun) |
| Peter: Which means |
| Yoshi: A half of something. |
| Peter: Yeah, so when we go to eat, I always say to Takase 半分お願いします (hanbun onegai shimasu) and Takase always says |
| Takase: 全部お願いします (zenbu onegai shimasu) |
| Peter: Yes, half is |
| Yoshi: 半分 (hanbun) |
| Peter: And all is |
| Takase: 全部 (zenbu) |
| Peter: Break it down. |
| Takase: (slow)ぜんぶ (zenbu) (natural speed)全部 (zenbu) |
| Peter: Okay, we got half. We got it all. How about one bite, what’s one bite? |
| Yoshi: 一口 (hitokuchi) |
| Peter: Break it down. |
| Yoshi: (slow)ひとくち (hitokuchi) (natural speed) 一口 (hitokuchi) |
| Peter: Okay. So if someone says to you |
| Yoshi: 一口どうぞ。(Hitokuchi dōzo.) |
| Peter: Take a bite. You can say |
| Takase: 全部お願いします。(Zenbu onegai shimasu.) |
| Peter: Yeah. All of it please and that’s sure to draw a very interesting response and remember, that’s Takase Japanese. |
| Takase: Nagasaki Japanese. |
| Peter: Okay, next we have |
| Takase: とりあえず (toriaezu) |
| Peter: To start with. |
| Takase: (slow)とりあえず (toriaezu) (natural speed)とりあえず (toriaezu) |
| Peter: And this is a very, very popular expression when you go to order. I think this is a set phrase. |
| Yoshi: とりあえずビール。(Toriaezu bīru.) |
| Peter: To start with a beer. This is quite popular when you go to Izakaya. What is in Izakaya anyway? |
| Yoshi: Izakaya is a Japanese drinking place. |
| Peter: And when you go to these places, you always start with |
| Yoshi: とりあえずビール。(Toriaezu bīru.) |
| Peter: Yep. I don’t think they will take your order if you don’t say that. Right, Takase? |
| Takase: No, you can. |
| Peter: Okay. My jokes don’t work with Takase. One more time, that expression, please. |
| Takase: とりあえず (toriaezu) |
| Peter: Okay. Next. |
| Yoshi: 109 (Ichimarukyū) |
| Peter: 109 |
| Yoshi: (slow)いちまるきゅう (Ichimarukyū) (natural speed)109 (Ichimarukyū) |
| Peter: And if you’d like more information, again check back to our JCC on Shibuya. Next we have |
| Takase: 出発進行 (shuppatsu shinkō) |
| Peter: Advance, move forward. |
| Takase: (slow)しゅっぱつしんこう (shuppatsu shinkō) (natural speed)出発進行 (shuppatsu shinkō) |
| Peter: Okay, and give it to us one more time, Yoshi? |
| Yoshi: 出発進行！(Shuppatsu shinkō!) |
| Peter: Okay, and when can we use this? |
| Yoshi: When you are about to set out for something. |
| Peter: Okay. So next time when you went to your Japanese friends, give this expression a try. What kind of reaction do we expect? |
| Yoshi: Laughing. |
Outro |
|---|
| Peter: Okay. So that’s going to wrap it up for today. Again thank you Yoshi and thank you Takase. |
| Takase: どういたしまして。また明日。(Dōitashimashite. Mata ashita.) |
| Peter: See you tomorrow. |
