How to Speak Conversational Japanese : How to Say "I'm Hungry" or "I'm Thirsty" in Japanese

[SweetSparkleSkyler]

I want to live in japan and kiddnap Rilakkuma!

[SkyRightBeauty98]

I love Japan,

My dream is to live their too :D

[lexierg]

I'm confused, I though japanese was written in characters instead of english letters

[Kymmiesaur]

@lexierg it is but she is using romaji (japanese words written in english letters) so it is easier for english speakers.

[Ashitanoyuki]

@lexierg It's writen in letters so you can prounce them. It's called romaji.

[dodohead38]

[Rosy23]

[ShanaMozzor]

Same :D

[ShadowClawTv]

lol why would i say my throat is dry or my stomach is empty -.-! i wanna say am hungry or i want something to eat if i say my stomach is empty people will be like oh ok

[Otakuman555]

@ShadowClawTv there is no other way to say it; that IS how you say "im hungry" or "im thirsty". remember its japanese man, its not english. jap people have different understandings, etc.

[semco72057]

I love the way you said that because most foreigners would pronounce it differently. The "I" is silent in words at the end.

[darkobst117]

this is so hard miss i cant lear this wat am i doin wrong

[labobo]

@expertvillage these lessons are too short

they should be at least 30 minutes !

[muskurtic]

mina, kanojo wa kirei desu ne.

[hipstarchild]

I thought shita is past tense.

Nodo ga kawakimashita - My throat was dry ???

So what does Nodo ga kawakimasu mean ???

[YuiKibaKen]

I thought it was hara heta .... Or something like that for hungry.

[Analcuntfocking]

This Needs To Be More Fun :( </3

[pileofpwnge]

Beautiful language

[bubbleclaire67]

I loved japan bcos of animes. Animes are cool

[RDMusicChannel]

@bubbleclaire67

You love Japan because of the Anime? i think people should love Japan because of Japan and the culture

[bubbleclaire67]

@RDMusicChannel yes i love japans culture

[bubbleclaire67]

@RDMusicChannel and i want to live in japan

[GITEK05]

how about if I will ask aother person if she/he is hungry or thristy?

should I use anata? where will I put it :D please help.

[beshoyui]

@GITEK05 you'll simply say:

anata no onaka ga suki mashita ka?

( your stomach is empty?)

anata no nodo ga kawaki mashita ka?

( your throat is dry?)

anata no= your

ka= add it after any sentence to change it into a question.

Good luck!

[SHENA0222]

@GITEK05 We usually don't say "Anata no" when we ask another person.

We say like this "onaka ga suki mashita ka??" or "onaka ha suite imasuka??" :)

[WiriamuN]

Not the best place to ask, but anybody know when to use 「腹」 or 「胃」 for stomach?

[Surfermitch99]

She almost said rets instead of let's XD

[DuckTapeDucky11]

When I was supposed to say "suki", I said "suvuki".

[Kerrychanx]

i thought suki meant like :( im stupid

[falecomjorge]

@Kerrychanx and yeah, suki means to like, but in this case, with masita, chang the meaning. like "like" in english, sometimes means suki, sometimes mitai, for"looks like". correct me if i m wrong!

[malikshahid10]

helo! you r so beautiful...i am living in nagoya. please call me at 08042247786

[shuriken198]

why!?!?! does she look like my mom ._." i was like is that mom?

[ROCMARIO1]

how to say "come near my van I have free candy"

[cdixon5150]

@ROCMARIO1 HAHAHA...nice..lol

[Xelon6k]

@ROCMARIO1 ok let's see if i can wing it, koko ni kuru, pokey ga arimasu

[Roksonixx]

@ROCMARIO1 Watashi no ban no chikaku ni kite, watashi wa muryō no kyandī o motte iru

[boyaccent]

@ROCMARIO1 HILARIOUS!!!!!!! LMAOoooooooo !! TWO THUMBS UP!!

[gaijin71]

To go along with these phrases, you should teach everyone nomihodai and tabehodai!

[mitsy17]

@gaijin71 May I ask if those mean "I want to drink " and "I want to eat"?

[gaijin71]

@mitsy17 Actually it means "All you can drink" (nohimhodai) or "All you can eat" (tabehodai). Nomihodai is more common than tabehodai. In some places, for an extra fee, you can add a nomihodai (all you can drink) option to your meail for an extra fee. Usually it's for 90 minutes or 2 hours and the fee is not usually that expensive. 2000 yen is a normal price which is just over $20 at the current rate. It's a pretty good deal!

[mitsy17]

@gaijin71 Oh~ Okay. Thanks. That's awesome!!!!!! Sometimes here all you can eat comes up to like $40! O.o!

[mitsy17]

Great for people who loves eating all the time...xD

[CAVERNARIO0]

MORE BEATIFUL THAN THE FLOWERS ON SPRING!!. THANKS!!

[erwin687]

how do you say im good

[Artillerytactics]

well, i thought "onaka ga suita" meant "i'm hungry" can both phrases be used? after watching this lady's videos, i'm starting to doubt some Japanese I've learned...

[adenhood]

@Artillerytactics I'm pretty sure that's the casual version of I'm hungry. Suku meas to empty and if you were to conjugate it to its past plain form or simple past tense it becomes "suita". The one in the video is the polite form (suku-sukimashita) and is used when talking to someone older and here a degree of politeness is needed while suita would be used when your talking to close friends. It's all in the conjugation ^_^ hope that helped.

[DrVoltage1]

Nodo ga kawaki mashita = my throat has became dry. Its past tense not present. Getting a hot chick to teach improperly was a good approach

[lundpyara]

what does "itsu meita" mean?

[Antnj81]

wow, you're gorgeous!!

[crzymuffin]

too hard -.- ill stick to spanish

yo tengo hambre y tengo sed...

[chadinterrupted]

wouldn't it be kawaki masu? MASU? meaning it is happening now and not it did happen? please correct me!

[izyproductions]

@chadinterrupted You are right on timing. When you add "mashita" at the end of a sentence, that means it happened (past tense form). But for this phrase, for some reason, goes by "mashita".

[chadinterrupted]

@izyproductions that is so weird, that's why i could never pass my japanese classes. haha. stuff like that, that was impossible for me to wrap my head around.

[denicia1312]

Could you say 'nodo ga kawaita'?

What's the difference between the two?

[scarlettears2004]

What if you just want to say "i want to eat" or "i want to drink"? Is it the same in japanese? I mean you are not really starving or dying of thirst and you just want to have a bite or a gulp of drink.

[preston11042]

arigatou i think i spelled it right anyway thank you!

[98BlueAngel]

i love japanese, my dream is to live in Japan

[bosstanaka88]

[grigor27]

[Destrillion]

is that also possible to say, in japanese "i'm hungry" -> onaka ga suite imasu? 

[BoredomIsBoringTV]

@Destrillion yup and also 'onaka ga pekopeko desu' :P

[SuperSupersaiyan99]

ok first of all anata wa kirei desu. second onaka ga suki mashita

[xXMapleHamXx]

japanese is so elegant XD

when i tell my friends that they usually look at me like im crazy

[sniggaBodorF]

she is SO hot!

[TMarjorieR]

In Japanese the subject is usually implied. You might say "Watashi wa Midori desu. Nodo ga kawaki mashita." (Assuming "Midori" is your name) Because you already mentioned yourself, it's implied it's you that's thirsty. If you had referenced someone else previously ("Kare wa Asou-kun desu. Nodo ga kawaki mashita.") it would be assumed that your boyfriend, Asou, was the one who was thirsty.

[signupsigma]

@TMarjorieR what's "mashita"

Mr. TMajorieR, I want to know if you would review Metal Gear Solid 4 in Japan and English and then point to me the differences. I have theh american version fo the game, and I want to know where they altered it.

[TMarjorieR]

@signupsigma "mashita" is an ending you put on to indicate that you're talking about the past. For example: "Metaru Geru Sorido o purei shimashita" would mean you had playED metal gear solid, whereas "Metaru Geru Sorido o purei shimasu" would mean you were currently playing it. To make it even more complicated, you could be talking to your homey and casually say "Metaru Geru Sorido purei suru", taking out the "o" and using the dictionary, root form form of the last word, which is "to do".

[TMarjorieR]

@signupsigma And sorry, I don't know enough Japanese to be able to do that very well. I've only studied it for two years. But I can tell you that the wacky sentence structure and phrasing in Japanese to English video games (such as in Deadly Premonition) is due to the vastly different constructions between the two languages. I dunno if that helps.

[thefakeguy]

would you still use' watashi wa' with these two sentences?

[KILLERONROAD]

Yabakunei!

[siliconsurf]

she's one hot teacher... :P

[fanaticforanime]

Thank u so much! ^^

[TheNintendogirl1]

lol now ill say this to my mom when im hungry and she'll be all confused

[xPiNKyHEiDix]

the grammatical style is very similar to korea

[trissab789123]

i'm a girl ! I very love to study NEW LANGUAGE !! my yahoo is "vietnam_girl_789123" let's become friends together !!

[HazorTheHopeEnder]

english translated into japanese is very literal

[k8egirl101]

@Zebbe190 IK RITE ITS AWSOME

[mmtigan]

How do you say "ur mom lol"... Oh wait i actually think i know that, it should be something like "anata no mama hohoemi"

[mariathehedgehog2]

IM HALF JAPANESE!!!

[BeastingYouForever]

Ani nanji desu ka?

Watashi ka Hansel-san desu.

Some phrases I know in Japanese. I'm trying to learn it.

[KatielovesV]

@BeastingYouForever ***Watashi wa Hansel-San Desu Ka.

[BeastingYouForever]

@KatielovesV isn't the Ka part added if it's a question?

[KatielovesV]

@BeastingYouForever You messed up on the "Watashi wa" You added "Ka" Instead of "Wa" which is "Am" and "Ka" added at the end, yes it is for questions, but introducing oneself for the first time, you add "Ka" in "Watashi wa ___ desu ka"

[BeastingYouForever]

@KatielovesV Ahhh... And I knew it was Watashi Wa :P I have no idea why I typed that. But I didn't know that you add it when you introduce yourself. Thanks ^_^

[KatielovesV]

@BeastingYouForever No probelmo ^^ Hehe. Learning japanese mehself<3

[brownboy252]

@KatielovesV But adding "ka" and the end of an introduction turns it into a questions as if youre asking the person you're talking to if that is your name. exmple hajimemashite, watashi wa henry jordan desu ka? would be" nice meeting you, am i jordan henry?" lol at the end of an introduction you can say "tomoshimasu" which is like saying "i am called" but as for "ka" it makes your statement a question.=) you maybe confusing "ga" with "ka"

[Mottahead]

The girl is hot , but japanese lessons don't work. The language , who might seem easy at first, is one of the most difficult to learn.

I like to listen to japanese songs and it is very rare to find repeated words from one song to another - by that I mean that they have a huge vocabulary, so, unless you move to Japan , don't even think about it.

Yet I will continue to watch this videos because I like the teacher.

[MrRawrkittyRawr]

How do ya say Fullmetal alchemist roxs meh soxs!

[iceymanjack]

just different pronounciation

[iaccik]

That Japanese woman is hot and gorgeous！！！！！！！！！！！！

[radiozoto2006]

I just love that woman... so bad

[evilsinzy]

stalker alert!

[radiozoto2006]

@evilsinzy hahahahahah... Yuu-san doesn't think like you, I'm sure; otherwise, she would never have me as a friend or even reply a PM to me (:D)

[OneBigRedSchoolBus09]

ワウ! 日本のレッスンをありがとう!

[assassin0000]

@OneBigRedSchoolBus09 its supposed to be: 日本語のレッソンをくれてありがとうございました。

[evilsinzy]

Onaka Ga Suki Mashita, which is it!

oh-nah -gah-gah skee -maus -stah

or

O-nah-guh su- mah-stah

or

O-nah-kah gah su-kee- mass-tahm

You said it differently each time! I'm going to starve to death.

[Magdalenna312]

It's said just as you spelled it... Japaense is a phoenetic language. I'm surprised you can romanize it and not realize the pronunciation.

o-na-ka ga su-ki-ma-shi-ta

So while your first question contained the correct pronunciation, none of your following possible answers did. Keep in mind Japanese pronunciation of vowels is more akin to the latin language pronunciation than American English.

[evilsinzy]

I think you're missing the point of my question.

To be concise, she wrote it one way- said it 3 or 4 ways. My question was "which is correct?".

Which you answered, so thanks.

[evilsinzy]

What good is it to spell the words if you don't pronounce them that way?

Write them the way they actually sound. (You're saying them differently when you say them fast and slow)

[OneBigRedSchoolBus09]

the way they're spelt is the way they're pronounced, it's just because she's naturally Japanese and in Japan they just let the words flow, causing lots of words to seemingly have a silent letter or two.

[evilsinzy]

@OneBigRedSchoolBus09

But she pronounced them differently each time. I'm just trying to figure out the proper way. Maybe one slow and one fast. (the way it sounds in conversation and if you say it slowly)

[jeevkid]

then just pronounce it as " oh-nah-kah-gah, su-kee-marsh-ita"

you will soon notice that the letter "i" will silently move out as you pronounce it.thats why it may sound different when we hear someone talking.hope this clears your mind. =)

[evilsinzy]

i haven't eaten in 4 days, you've saved my life.

[jeevkid]

haha no problem =]

[HansvonEnerich]

Hahaha thanks!

[oyeboy94]

They don't have a word for thirsty at all??

[xXUNKNOWNSH4DOWXx]

[gearswars1]

wow

[TPOTOishere]

onakasuita ! or however u spell it!

[xXxBulletMaidenxXx]

idc wat any one els says ur da friggen boss man!

[IIIArtFreakIII]

And yes learning words is not equal to learning the language.A language is how you apply the words you learn.And yes grammar IS important or else you would rather sound like a person trying to speak the language rather than a fluent speaker.I grew up with three main languages (my native language, French and English), I learned Hindi and now I am learning Japanese.And talking correctly in Japanese is way easier than French but I think French's writing is easier coz I already knew the alphabets.

[IIIArtFreakIII]

No all languages don't have the same difficulty levels.You need to consider other stuffs. For example in Hindi and French, each word is either masculine and feminine and each time you apply them in a sentence, you need to know what they are to conjugate the verbs at times or to use the possessive pronouns correctly (my, your).Japanese can be easier because you don't to use that and maybe conjugating is simpler than in French but still you have to learn the writing styles.

[ChaosFaction73]

Fuckin Weeabooossss!!!!!!

[rekhapearls]

Hye there..

so useful..

I lOve to learn Japanese Language and today i know 2 new sentences.

Thanks so much.

God Bless..

[stefymakeupartist85]

sei bella e bravaaaaaaaa

[mashi384]

if you are in a casual setting with your friends, you can also use

Onaka ga suita "I am hungry"

Nodo ga kawaita "I'm thirsty"

[TurnerXI]

おなかが好きｗ

it can mean i love my stomach

[JAPvRIPPER]

So what about the phrase, "Ana-ka Suite Ta?" to say "I'm Hungry?" (sorry about the spelling! I only know how to spell it as it sounds)

[pnoyguitar]

Why "ga" is used in sentence for this one?

[mashi384]

"ga" is a subject marker.

it identifies the "doer" of the sentence

the "doer" is the thing that causes smething to happen in the sentence.

Jon ga nki mashita "John cried"

Jon ga tabe mashita "John ate"

because John is doing the crying and the eating, "ga" is put after his name.

[123xzx321]

ana wakie de mashta

[theloveformusic92]

I was just reading about Japanese Pronounciation

Did you guys notice how some vowels are dropped

like for example the second "A" in kawaki?

so its acually said KAWKI and The "I" in mashita

[[ mashta ]]

and also the "u" in suki isnt as long as in English its pretty much dropped you can barely hear it

:D

[sinfony777]

How do you say '' i'd like to fuck the Japanese teacher '' ?

[hirochel09]
