  • Hiroko sensei! i have two questions!

    1-doumo arigatou would be a formal way of saying thank you?

    2- i can only say arigatou right? it would be a informal way right?

    Arigatou Gozaimasu :)

  • @alice5753 Yes, "doumo arigatou" and "arigatou gozaimasu" are more formal, and "arigatou" is informal :)

  • Arigatou gozaimasu.

    But I've one question:

    On the board was another word "ieie".

    What does this mean?

  • @FreakyNomNom "Ieie" is one way to say "you're welcome".

  • would you be able to say gozaimasu after sumimasen? thanks senpai!

  • @1337EK No, you cannot put gozaimasu after sumimasen :) Gozaimasu only comes after certain words.
