Historically it's not too hard to see why there are two words for knife. Japanese people were using knives way before the Americans invaded. They just weren't used for eating.

[missdinamit]

bowl, frying pan, spoon and fork are the best XD

[akechi1000]

It says ディナーナイフBut she says　包丁。

[eccoluisaluisa]

hei, where are the chopsticks ?!!!

they are important, ne ?! 

[CodeBakemono]

[frjuy]

[anitabau]

the music keeps distracting me, I feel in some "peanuts" episode.

[hxasmirl]

furai pan. lol

[orangie84]

spoon spoon spooooooooon..

um lol i can say spoon just fine i don't need help with that one..

the rest yes..

[LittleMissSugar216]

Well...spoon was easy :P

[deiadaradeath]

yes it was ;-P

[mousy2294]

Okay so I wasn't going crazy with the knife.

[mercatorblue]

ah i was about to comment on the dinner knife thing, but someone already mentioned it ^^

anyway thanks for the vid, i learned a lot of new words today~

[svona12]

The music is way too loud

[katakanadian]

I didn't know several of these words.

I think it would be good to use pictures that show versions more typical/traditional in Japan. e.g. I dohn't picture that kind of kettle when I hear やかん.

[nihonjon]

That's a good idea, but living in Tokyo and Osaka for awhile now, I've realized the only places you find traditional / typical Japanese items is Kyoto. It's so westernized here.

[japanesepod101]

Wow - JeanMichel, you're such a good editor!

What she's saying is houchou ほうちょう（包丁）.

It means kitchen knife as well.

They're both correct, but you're right - it doesn't line up.

Thanks for catching it.

[Gingababe123]

@japanesepod101 is this correct?

fill your plate!

O sara o meru

お皿を埋める

[japanesepod101]

@Gingababe123 Hmm, that expression doesn't translate directly into Japanese. It would be more natural to say something like いっぱい食べなさい (ippai tabenasai, "eat a lot").

[Gingababe123]

@japanesepod101 thanks :)

[JeanMichelAbrassart]

Knife is weird. She's saying something like "hôshô" (sorry, don't know that word) but the kana reads "dinner knife (well something like dina knifu).

Well, anyway, what she says doesn't match what is written...

[80thPrime]

@JeanMichelAbrassart Yeah I noticed it too, and I wasn't even trying to notice.

The katakana says ディナーナイフ Deinaa Naifu, Dinner Knife and it sounds like she's saying ホヂョ Hojyo, Hojo which is my name! That's why it was so easy to notice, am I a butter knife?
