[GengoNoTabi]

HA! You taught me some things I haven't seen anywhere in years of studying. Thanks

[myargonauts]

@GengoNoTabi cool - thanks for the comment

[BlanFan2O]

do they ever say "domo sumimasen"? I heard you use that when you get some sort of gift. I also heard just "domo" or just "arigatou" where impolite unless put together, is that right?

[myargonauts]

yep - people say domo sumimasen sometimes.

Nothing impolite about using domo or arigatou by themselves - I hear it all the time.

[daveyboyz]

[myargonauts]

You say "shitsurei-shimasu" whenever you enter someone's domain, so it's not such a school-related thing.

"table tennis" = "takkyû". I can't forget the term after that 17yo girl won a gold medal at the Olympics (2004) and was all over the news.

[myargonauts]

yep - thanks!
