16 Ways to Say “Please” in Japanese from Onegai and Onward

Being polite is an integral part of Japanese culture.

So knowing how to say “please” in Japanese is a must for social interactions!

You may know some of the basics, like  onegai and kudesai.  But do you know how and when to actually use them? 

And what if you need to say “please” in some more specific social situations? 

Read on to learn everything you need to know about the polite word, “please”!

お願い (Onegai) — Please

お願いします (onegai shimasu) — please [polite].

  • お願い申し上げます (Onegai moushi agemasu) — I humbly request [very polite]

ください (Kudasai) — Please [for a request]

ちょうだい (choudai) — please give, プリーズ (purīzu) — please [casual], 願わくば (negawakuba) — if i may humbly request, …いただけないでしょうか (…itadakenaideshou ka) — could you please, additional phrases to use with “please” in japanese, 是非 (zehi) — by all means, absolutely, もしよろしければ (moshi yoroshikereba) — if it’s okay with you, ご検討いただければ幸いです (gokentou itadakereba saiwai desu) — i would be grateful if you could consider, どうか (douka) — somehow, 申し訳ございませんが… (moushiwake gozaimasenga…) — i’m sorry, but…, 大変お手数ですが… (taihen otesuu desu ga…) — i apologize for the trouble, but…, お時間のある時に (o-jikan no aru toki ni) — at your convenience, ご都合の良い時に (go-tsugou no yoi toki ni) — when it suits you , and one more thing....

This is the most basic way to say “please” in Japanese, and the one you’re most likely to already know. It’s a neutral, all-purpose way to say “please.”

The term originates from the Japanese verb “negau” (願う), which means “to wish” or “to request.” So literally, the word means “I request.”

Not sure which form of please to use? This is the general term to default to. You’ll be understood in any situation!

もう少し静かにして、 お願い 。 (Mōsukoshi shizuka ni shite, onegai .) — Please be a bit quieter.

お会計 お願い 。 (O-kaikei onegai .) — Please bring the bill.

You better believe that in Japanese, the already polite word “please” has several even more polite forms!

Onegai shimasu is a more polite form of  onegai, which means you generally use it when making a request to someone of higher status or authority, or just in a more formal setting. 

It’s a combination of お願い (onegai), meaning “request” or “favor,” and the polite verb ending します (shimasu), which is the polite form of the verb “to do.” Together, it translates to “please do (something)” or “please (do) me a favor.”

会議の資料を送ってもらえると助かります。 お願いします 。 (Kaigi no shiryou o okutte moraeru to tasukari masu. Onegai shimasu. ) — It would be helpful if you could send me the meeting materials. Please.

お願いします 、あなたのアドバイスが必要です。 ( Onegai shimasu, anata no adobaisu ga hitsuyou desu.) — Please, I need your advice.

お願い申し上げます (Oneg ai moushi  agemasu)  — I humbly request [very polite]

This is the most polite form of  onegai,  the final evolution in formality, if you will. The expression adds the polite “moushiagemasu,” which is a humble form of the verb “to say” or “to express.” 

It’s used in the most formal situations, such as when making a request to a dignitary. You’re not that likely to use it yourself (unless you’ve got some connections in the higher echelons of Japanese society) but you might hear it in news reports or other official media. 

お手伝いいただければ幸いです。 お願い申し上げます 。 (O-tetsudai itadakereba saiwai desu. Onegai moushi agemasu .) — I would be grateful if you could help. I sincerely request your assistance.

こちらをお貸しいただけますと助かります。 お願い申し上げます 。 (Kochira wo okashi itadakemasuto tasukari masu. Onegai moushi agemasu .) — I would appreciate it if you could lend me this. Thank you very much.

Kudasai is derived from the verb くださる (kudasaru), which is a polite way of saying “to give” or “to do for me.” 

The word is a more casual and direct way of making a request. It’s used in most everyday situations and doesn’t carry the same respect and humility as  onegai. 

If you just want to ask your sister to pass the salt, use kudasai. If you want to ask your coworker to help you carry all your notes to the meeting, use onegai.  

It’s pretty easy to use, as you can literally just add  kudasai  to whatever it is you want. If you’re requesting a noun, use this sentence structure:

 [Object] をください ([Object] o kudasai)

For a verb, you’ll need to use the verb’s te-form, like this: 

[Verb in te-form] ください ([Verb in te-form] kudasai)

飲み物を ください 。 (Nomimono o kudasai .) — Please give me a drink.

座って ください 。 (Suwatte kudasai .) — Please sit down.

メニューを ください 。 (Menyū o kudasai .) — Please give me the menu.

Choudai is similar to  kudasai in usage and meaning, but it’s a more casual term. It has a childish ring to it—picture a little kid asking their parent to buy them something at the store. 

水を ちょうだい 。 (Mizu o choudai .) — Water, please.

本を ちょうだい 。 (Hon o choudai .) — The book, please.

もう一度説明して ちょうだい 。 (Mō ichido setsumei shite choudai .) — Please explain it again.

Sound familiar? This is a borrowed word from English, used in very casual settings. It’s especially used among younger people, usually in spoken communication. 

もう一度教えてくれる? プリーズ 。 (Mou ichido oshiete kureru? Purīzu .) — Can you tell me one more time? Please.

ちょっと手伝ってくれる? プリーズ 。 (Chotto tetsudatte kureru? Purīzu .) — Can you help me for a moment? Please.

Here’s one for the history books, literally. This term is an archaic expression that literally means “if it may be wished for.” The phrase is used to express a polite request or a wish, often found in formal or written language. It’s not commonly used in everyday spoken Japanese, but you might encounter it in literature or older texts.

願わくば 、お手すきの際にお知らせいただければと存じます。 ( Negawakuba , otesuki no sai ni oshirase itadakereba tozonjimasu.) — If I may humbly request, I would appreciate it if you could let me know when you have a moment.

願わくば 、ご意見をお聞かせいただければと考えております。 ( Negawakuba , otesuki no sai ni oshirase itadakereba tozonjimasu.) — If I may be so bold as to ask, I would like to hear your opinion.

This one might sound familiar, too—it’s rooted in the verb だく (itadaku), which means “to receive” and is also the root for the phrase you say before you eat,  itadakimasu. 

Here’s a more detailed breakdown of this expression: 

  • いただけない (Itadakenai): This is the potential form of the verb いただく (itadaku), which means “to receive” or “to be given.” The potential form here implies the ability or possibility to receive or do something.
  • でしょうか (deshou ka): This is a polite expression that is often added to a sentence to make a request. It softens the request and adds a sense of politeness.

So, the whole phrase いただけないでしょうか (…Itadakenaideshou ka) translates to something like “Could I receive?” or “Would it be possible for me to receive?” This expression is commonly used in formal or polite situations where you want to make a request in a respectful manner.

この資料をお送り いただけないでしょうか ? (Kono shiryou wo o-okuri itadakenaideshou ka ?) — Could you please send me this document?

この問題について助言を いただけないでしょうか ? (Kono mondai ni tsuite jogen o itadakenaideshou ka ?) — Could you please give me some advice on this issue?

The following words don’t mean “please” on their own. Instead, they’re often used in conjunction with one of the words you just learned above.

They can make the difference between a simple request like “Menu, please” and “If it’s convenient for you, by all means, please procure the menu for me.” 

Of course, you don’t have to go full Jeeves on the waiter like I did in the above example, but the phrases below add an extra layer of politeness and consideration for the person you’re asking something of.

This phrase is used to express strong desire or intention, close to the English expression “would you kindly?”

It can be used to emphasize a request or to make it clear that you’re asking for something specifically. It’s often used to convey a strong recommendation or a sincere desire for something to be done. 

是非 、お知らせください。 ( Zehi, oshirase kudasai.) — By all means, please let me know.

是非 、ご意見をお聞かせください。 ( Zehi, go-iken o okikase kudasai.) — Absolutely, please share your opinion with us.

This phrase politely asks for something if it’s convenient for the other person. It’s a good expression to use when you’re asking for permission, making a suggestion or making a polite request from someone. 

もしよろしければ 、明日の会議にご参加いただけますでしょうか? ( Moshi yoroshikereba , ashita no kaigi ni go-sanka itadakemasu deshou ka?) — If it’s okay with you, could you please join the meeting tomorrow?

その資料を もしよろしければ 、ご確認いただけますでしょうか? (Sono shiryou o moshi yoroshikereba , go-kakunin itadakemasu deshou ka?) — If it’s okay with you, could you please review that document?

This extra formal phrase is often used in formal or business communication to politely request someone’s thoughtful consideration or review of a matter. 

ご検討いただければ幸いです 。新しいプロジェクトにご参加いただけますと幸いです。 ( Gokentou itadakereba saiwai desu . Atarashii purojekuto ni go-sanka itadakemasu to saiwai desu.) — I would be grateful if you could consider it. I would appreciate it if you could participate in the new project.

この提案を ご検討いただければ幸いです 。 (Kono teian wo gokentou itadakereba saiwai desu . ) — I would be grateful if you could consider this proposal. 

This emphasizes your wish or request, often used with other formal phrases like “onegaishimasu.” It’s used to make a polite request or to express a hope or wish, giving your request a more earnest tone. 

どうか お願いします。 ( Douka onegaishimasu.) — Please, I humbly request.

お手数をおかけしますが、 どうか お願いいたします。   (Otesuu wo okake shimasu ga, douka onegai itashimasu.) — I apologize for the inconvenience, but please, I request [your understanding/help].”

This phrase is often used to convey a sense of apology or to soften the impact of delivering unwelcome news. You can use it in conjunction with the words that mean “please” to apologize for any inconvenience before making a request. 

お手数をおかけして 申し訳ございませんが 、もう一度ご確認いただけますでしょうか? (Otesuu wo okakeshite moushiwake gozaimasen ga , mou ichido go-kakunin itadakemasu deshou ka?) — I’m sorry, but could you please check it again for me?

申し訳ございませんが 、もう一度お時間をいただければと存じます。 ( Moushiwake gozaimasen ga , mou ichido o-jikan wo itadakereba to zonjimasu.) — I’m sorry, but if I could have a little more of your time, I would appreciate it.

This phrase acknowledges that the request might be troublesome before asking. It’s another way to express an apology before making a request.

大変お手数ですが 、今一度メールをご確認いただけますでしょうか? ( Taihen otesuu desu ga , ima ichido me-ru wo go-kakunin itadakemasu deshou ka?) — I’m sorry to bother you, but could you please check your email once again?

大変お手数ですが 、お名前と連絡先を教えていただけますでしょうか? ( Taihen otesuu desu ga , o-namae to renrakusaki wo oshiete itadakemasu deshou ka?) — I apologize for the trouble, but could you please provide your name and contact information?

Use this one exactly as you’d use the English translation, to ask for something from someone else when they have the time to complete your request. It’s a polite way to ask for someone’s time or attention without directly imposing on their schedule. 

Although it can be used in any formality level, it’s more on the formal side and is more often used in professional settings. 

お時間のある時に 、お電話いただけますでしょうか? ( O-jikan no aru toki ni , o-denwa itadakemasu deshou ka?) — When you have a moment, would you please give me a call?

お時間のある時に 、ご意見をお聞かせいただけますと幸いです。 ( O-jikan no aru toki ni , go-iken wo o-kikase itadakemasuto saiwai desu.) — When you have time, I would be happy if you could share your opinions.

This phrase is very similar to the previous, with a stronger emphasis on the request recipient’s convenience. It’s another polite way to request someone’s time or attention. 

ご都合の良い時に 、ご一緒にランチはいかがでしょうか? ( Go-tsugou no yoi toki ni , go-issho ni ranchi ikaga deshou ka?) — Whenever you’re free, how about going to lunch together?

ご都合の良い時に 、この提案についてご検討いただけますでしょうか? ( Go-tsugou no yoi toki ni , kono teian ni tsuite go-kentou itadakemasu deshou ka?) — At your convenience, could you please consider this proposal?

Now go ahead and study these ways to say “please” in Japanese, at your earliest convenience. Please and thank you!

How to Say Homework in Japanese Hiragana

Learning a new language involves not only memorizing vocabulary and grammar rules but also understanding various aspects of its culture. As you dive into the Japanese language, it’s important to acquire everyday vocabulary that includes terms like “homework.” In Japanese, the word for homework can be expressed using hiragana, one of the three main scripts used in writing. This guide will provide you with the formal and informal ways to say homework in Japanese and offer several tips and examples to assist your learning journey.

1. The Formal Way: 宿題 (しゅくだい)

In formal situations, such as when talking to your teachers or superiors, the appropriate term for homework in Japanese is “宿題” (しゅくだい). This word is written using kanji characters but can also be expressed in hiragana as “しゅくだい.” The pronunciation remains the same, but it emphasizes the formal and polite context.

Example: 先生、宿題を提出しました。(Sensei, shukudai o teishutsu shimashita.) Translation: Teacher, I have submitted my homework.

2. The Informal Way: テスト (てすと)

In informal and casual conversations with friends or peers, the Japanese language often adopts loanwords from English. In this context, the word “homework” is commonly replaced with the borrowed term “テスト” (てすと), which directly translates to “test” in English but is used more broadly to refer to homework as well.

Example: 明日、てすとがたくさんあるよ。(Ashita, tesuto ga takusan aru yo.) Translation: I have a lot of homework tomorrow.

These informal expressions can be used comfortably among friends or when in casual settings, but it’s essential to be mindful of your audience and the level of politeness required in the given situation.

3. Additional Regional Variations

In addition to the formal and informal ways mentioned above, regional variations exist within Japan. While these may not typically be used in everyday conversation, it’s useful to be aware of them to deepen your understanding of the language’s diversity. Here are a few regional variations for the word homework:

  • 関東 (かんとう) Variation: テツド (てつど) This variation is used in the Kanto region, which includes major cities like Tokyo. The pronunciation “テツド” represents the word “宿題” (しゅくだい) in hiragana form.
  • 九州 (きゅうしゅう) Variation: モド (もど) People in the Kyushu region, located in southwestern Japan, may use the term “モド” (もど) for homework instead of the more standard expressions.

4. Tips for Learning Vocabulary

Building vocabulary skills is crucial when learning any language, including Japanese. Here are some tips to help you effectively learn and reinforce new words:

  • Create Flashcards: Write the Japanese term for homework on one side of the flashcard and its English translation on the other. Test yourself regularly to enhance memorization.
  • Use Mnemonics: Conjure up mental images or associate the word “しゅくだい” or other variations with something memorable. For example, you could imagine a school bus that transports homework instead of students.
  • Practice with Native Speakers: Engage in language exchange programs or find Japanese language partners to practice speaking and using new vocabulary in conversations.
  • Immerse Yourself: Surround yourself with Japanese media, such as anime or dramas, and actively listen for vocabulary in context. This exposure helps reinforce your understanding of how words are used.

Congratulations on taking the initiative to learn how to say “homework” in Japanese using hiragana! Remember that “宿題” (しゅくだい) is the formal term, while “テスト” (てすと) represents the more informal way to refer to homework, even though it directly translates to “test” in English. Be mindful of the context and level of politeness required in various situations.

Additionally, knowing regional variations, such as the Kanto region’s “テツド” (てつど) and the Kyushu region’s “モド” (もど), can deepen your understanding of the language’s diversity.

Remember to employ effective vocabulary learning techniques, such as flashcards, mnemonics, conversation practice, and language immersion, to reinforce new words and concepts effectively.

Enjoy your journey of learning the Japanese language and discovering its rich cultural heritage!

Shukudai is the Japanese word for ‘homework’, explained

What does “shukudai” mean in japanese.

Native speakers use shukudai to mean ‘homework’ in Japanese. Perhaps, some Japanese learners know this word as it is sometimes used in Japanese textbooks. In this blog post, however, I will explain this word in detail based on its kanji expression. And also, I will explain how to use it through example sentences. My explanations would help Japanese learners understand shukudai more clearly. Then, let’s get started!

Definition and meaning of “shukudai”

How to say “homework” in japanese, another example of “shukudai”.

Let me start with the definition and meaning of shukudai .

  • shukudai – 宿題 (しゅくだい) : a noun meaning ‘homework’ in Japanese.

Native speakers use this noun to refer to a task or tasks to do at home after school. So, the usage is very similar to that of the English noun, homework , I think.

The definition and meaning are simple and clear. To understand this noun more clearly, however, let me explain its kanji characters in detail, one by one.

Shukudai in kanji

The kanji expression of shukudai consists of the following two kanji characters:

  • 宿 : a kanji character used to refer to a place where people stay.
  • 題 : a kanji character used to mean a ‘theme’, ‘subject’, ‘question’, or ‘problem’ in Japanese.

From these two kanji characters, we can understand that shukudai literally means ‘a place where people stay and questions’ in Japanese. This literal interpretation is not completely in line with the actual meaning, but still understandable, I think. Homework is often a set of questions which people need to solve at home.

When we meet new kanji expressions, we should check their kanji characters in detail to understand their meanings clearly and deeply. In many cases, kanji characters tell us a lot about the meanings of the expressions they form. Actually, here, we could get the better understanding of shukudai through the detailed kanji check above.

So far, I’ve explained the definition and meaning of shukudai together with its kanji characters. Then, let me explain how to use it through the example sentences below.

kyou wa shukudai ga takusan aru – 今日は宿題がたくさんある (きょうはしゅくだいがたくさんある) Today, I have a lot of homework.

Below are the new words used in the example sentence.

  • kyou – 今日 (きょう) : a noun meaning ‘today’ in Japanese.
  • wa – は : a binding particle working as a case marker or topic marker. In the example, this works as a topic marker after kyou to put a focus on it.
  • ga – が : a case particle used to make the subject word or the object word in a sentence. In the example, this is used after shukudai to make the subject in the sentence.
  • takusan – たくさん : an adverb of quantity meaning ‘many’, ‘much’, or such in Japanese. In the example, this works to emphasize the amount of the homework.
  • aru – ある : a verb meaning ‘to be’, ‘to exist’, ‘to present’, or such in Japanese.

This is a typical usage of shukudai . In this example, it works as a part of the commonly-used phrase, shukudai ga aru , which literally means ‘homework exists’ in Japanese. This phrase is often translated into English as ‘to have homework’, though.

boku wa shukudai wo katazuke mashi ta – 僕は宿題を片付けました (ぼくはしゅくだいをかたづけました) I finished my homework.

  • boku – 僕 (ぼく) : a pronoun meaning ‘I’ in Japanese. This is used mainly by boys and young males.
  • wo – を : a case particle used to make the object word in a sentence. In the example, this is used after shukudai to make the object in the sentence.
  • katazuke – 片付け (かたづけ) : one conjugation of the verb, katazukeru , which means ‘to clean’, ‘to clear’, ‘to finish’, or such in Japanese. In the example, it has been conjugated for the better connection with its following word.
  • mashi – まし : one conjugation of the auxiliary verb, masu , which is used after a verb to make it polite. In the example, this is used after katazuke to make it sound polite.
  • ta – た : an auxiliary verb used after a verb, adjective, or auxiliary verb to make its past tense form. Probably, this is well known as a part of Japanese ta form. In the example, this is used at the end of the verb phrase to mean ‘to have finished’ in Japanese.

This is another example of shukudai . In this example, it works together with the case particle, wo , to become the object in the sentence. When we want to mean ‘homework’ in Japanese, anyway, this noun is always a very good option.

In this blog post, I’ve explained the definition and meaning of shukudai in detail based on its kanji expression. And also, I’ve explained how to use it through the example sentences. Let me summarize them as follows.

  • shukudai – 宿題 (しゅくだい) : a noun meaning ‘homework’ in Japanese. Native speakers use this noun to refer to a task or tasks to do at home after school. So, the usage of this noun is very similar to that of the English one, homework . These two kanji characters literally mean ‘a place where people stay and questions’ in Japanese. This literal interpretation is not completely in line with the actual meaning, but still understandable, I think. Homework is often a set of questions which people need to solve at home.

Hope my explanations are understandable and helpful for Japanese learners.

Different Ways to Say Check in Japanese

Japanese language offers a range of expressions to convey the concept of “check.” It’s helpful to understand the different variations based on their usage, including regional dialects that may feature unique terms. Here are some common ways to say “check” in Japanese:

Additionally, Japanese has many regional dialects that incorporate unique words. For example, in the Kansai dialect spoken around Osaka, the word “check” is “shikke” or “shakaru.” It’s important to be aware of regional variations if you plan on traveling to different parts of Japan or conducting business with people from various regions.

Conclusion:

By understanding the different ways to say “check” in Japanese, you can tailor your communication skills accordingly. Whether you’re in a casual conversation or a professional setting, knowing which words to use and when can greatly enhance your language abilities. Be mindful of regional dialects and incorporate them as needed.

Translating Check into Japanese

If you’re looking to learn how to say “check” in Japanese, the most commonly used term is “チェック” (chekku). This is a loanword from English and is used in many situations, such as:

It’s important to note that while “チェック” is the most commonly used term, there are other ways to express the concept of “check” depending on the situation or regional dialect. For example, in the Kansai region, the term “確認” (kakunin) can also be used to mean “check.”

As with any language, it’s important to be mindful of the context and situation in which you use these terms. Using the wrong term or using a term inappropriately can lead to confusion and miscommunication.

Pronunciation and Phonetics of Check in Japanese

Proper pronunciation is essential when learning any language, and Japanese is no exception. The Japanese word for “check” is pronounced as “chekku” (チェック) in Japanese. Here’s how to pronounce it:

One thing to keep in mind is that Japanese is a syllabic language, meaning each character represents a single syllable. In the case of “check,” it is a two-syllable word, and both syllables should be pronounced with equal emphasis.

In terms of intonation, Japanese typically has a flat tone, with each syllable spoken at the same pitch. However, there may be slight variations in the pitch of certain syllables depending on the context of the conversation.

Additional Phonetic Tips

Here are a few additional tips to help you perfect your pronunciation of “check” in Japanese:

  • The “ch” sound in “chekku” should be pronounced with the tongue pressed against the roof of the mouth, as in the word “cheese.”
  • The “e” sound is pronounced like a long “a” sound, as in the word “cake.”
  • The “u” at the end of “chekku” is barely pronounced and sounds more like a short exhale of air.

With these tips in mind, you’ll be well on your way to mastering the pronunciation of “check” in Japanese.

Writing Check in Japanese

Japanese writing involves three scripts: kanji, hiragana, and katakana. Each script is used in different situations and has its own set of characters. Writing “check” in Japanese can be done in any of these scripts, depending on the context of the word.

If you’re writing “check” as in a bank check, the most commonly used kanji character is “小切手” (kogitte). To write this in hiragana, it would be “こぎって” and in katakana, “コギッテ”.

If you’re writing “check” as in “checking something off a list,” you can use the kanji character “点検” (tenken). In hiragana, it would be “てんけん” and in katakana, “テンケン”.

It’s important to note that when writing in Japanese, the order of characters is typically right to left, top to bottom.

Tips for Writing Check in Japanese

When writing “check” in Japanese, consider the context in which you’ll be using the word to determine which script and character to use. It’s also important to practice your writing to ensure that your characters are clear and legible. Many language apps and online resources offer writing practice exercises to improve your skills.

Using Check in Japanese Conversations and Business

Now that you know how to say, write, and pronounce “check” in Japanese, it’s time to apply this knowledge in real-life scenarios. The word “check” has various contextual uses in Japanese, so understanding the appropriate situations is crucial for effective communication.

Using Check in Everyday Conversations

In Japanese, “check” can be used in casual conversations to mean “please confirm” or “double-check.” For example, if you want to confirm if someone is available to meet, you can say “Chotto check shite mo ii?” which means “Can I check with you for a moment?”

You can also use “check” to ask for the bill at a restaurant. In this case, you can say “okaikei onegaishimasu” or “check, please.”

Using Check in Professional Settings

In business meetings, “check” can be used to confirm information or details. For instance, if you want to confirm a deadline, you can say “Mottomo shuukan nai ni jikkou suru tame no dedain wa itsu desu ka, check shitemo ii desu ka?” meaning “When is the deadline for the implementation that must be completed no later than the end of the month, can I check?”

It’s also essential to understand that there are different levels of politeness in Japanese, depending on the situation and the hierarchy. When speaking with someone of higher status, it’s essential to use polite language and honorifics. For example, you can use “sumimasen” or “excuse me” followed by “check” when addressing a supervisor or senior colleague.

Now that you have a better understanding of how to use “check” in different contexts, you can practice incorporating it into your conversations. With time and practice, you’ll become more confident in your Japanese language skills and be able to communicate effectively in both casual and professional settings.

Help with Japanese homework

Can someone please help me with my homework?  

Attachments

japanese-homework.jpg

Sure. If you ask specific questions we can help. We're not going to do your homework for you. What don't you understand?  

Buntaro

Let's see if we can help you with this. Question 1. Can you read はなす? What does it mean? What do you think the two forms of "I did…" and "I didn't do…" using はなす would look like? Can you write the two answers in hiragana as well as Romaji?  

taepopjunkie, There is one thing that really jumps out at me from your post, which is you do not seem to have mastered hiragana. Japanese teachers are notorious for not doing a good job of teaching hiragana. (When I started learning Japanese years ago, my Japanese teacher handed out copies of hiragana and just said, "Learn these.") As a matter of fact, I almost failed my first semester of Japanese because I struggled with hiragana that first semester, and I never really recovered from it at that time. My college professor 'gave' me a passing grade (when I deserved a failing grade), which is another story for another time. You need to get hiragana down cold. You need to get to the point where you can listen to spoken Japanese and write it down quickly and easily in hiragana. This will take a LOT of work on your part. You need to spend up to an hour each day just working on reading and writing hiragana. I know this would be a lot of work besides the Japanese homework you are already doing, but if you really want to learn Japanese, you must do this. Here is how to practice hiragana. Start doing what I call 'dictation practice'. Use your iPhone or laptop to record your voice. Make some recordings of you saying individual hiragana. Then make some recordings of you saying words that are two hiragana. Then make some recordings of you saying words that are three hiragana. Then, listen your recordings and write down the hiragana as you hear them. Slowly build up the ability to listen and write down longer and longer phrases and sentences in hiragana. (If you need help on how to record your voice on your iPhone or laptop or whatever, please do not hesitate to ask.) Can you quickly write a, i, u, e, o in hiragana? Can you quickly write a, ka, sa, ta, na and then ha, ma, ya, ra, wa in hiragana? Can you quickly write 'mechakucha"? Can you quickly write 'Sore wa hon janai desu"? If you cannot, it is clear what you must do.

bentenmusume said: This strikes me as a curious thing to focus on at first. At all the universities I've learned and/or taught at, I'm not sure I've ever see a class go about things this way. Being able to comprehend spoken Japanese to the point you can take dictation is a far more advanced skill than just learning the hiragana and katakana syllabaries. Click to expand...

Fair enough, and I may have been a bit overly critical of the initial suggestion. It just seemed a bit much to say that intense dictation practice from the start is a necessary part of learning the kana syllabaries. Most classes I've been exposed to (as well as most self-learners I've met) seem to be able to get a basic understanding of hiragana and katakana by drilling them and writing over a couple of days, and then continuing to practice them with more exposure. Apps weren't a thing back in the dark ages when I learned (and taught) Japanese, but these days I imagine there's no end of options out there.

Oh, I didn't mean to suggest that there are apps out there that can teach you the entire language, or that there are any that can replace a quality textbook and good old-fashioned self study. I have a passing familiarity with what sort of software exists and the inherent limitations and/or flaws they possess, even if I never actually used them when I learned the language. I was speaking only in terms of learning the kana (which I thought was the scope of this discussion), for which I figure a glorified digital flashcard system would work just fine. I certainly wasn't advocating for the OP (or anyone) to throw away their textbook and go in search of some miracle app that's going to download the entire language into their brain Matrix-style. A cursory search of the internet (and semi-regular posting/reading of the Reddit Japanese-learning sub) is more than enough to reveal the quality (or lack thereof) of most of the stuff out there. (As you say, there are some worthwhile websites and YouTube channels, and of course plenty of solid reading material for more advanced learners.)  

xkcd.com

Chris, This is an interesting discussion on how apps help a person learn a language. I personally have never used an app in such a way, so it is difficult for me to comment on this. But the bottom line is helping the OP being able to hear a hiragana and write it in a quick-enough way, first as a single hiragana and eventually in groups of hiragana. Are there apps that help with this? I have a fair amount of experience teaching hiragana to Americans, and taking them through this process is always quite painful. Just getting them to write "a, i, u, e, o" in one continuous 'dictated' hiragana 'sentence' is a major accomplishment. The idea of then taking them through the entire process of mastering all hiragana in all common combinations becomes quite daunting to the student. It is always a battle to keep the student motivated and moving forward. I have had more than one student give up because hiragana is just too challenging for them.  

Buntaro said: Are there apps that help with this? Click to expand...

This thread is quite fascinating to me. Of all the Japanese learners I've met (and continue to "meet" virtually), I had never really encountered one that cited mastering the kana as a significantly challenging part of learning Japanese, let alone something that would compel (or almost compel) them to give up learning the language entirely. Of course, many learners initially have trouble keeping certain similar-looking characters straight (especially with katakana characters like シ/ツ ン/ソ), or can struggle with writing them properly (thus unintentionally making certain characters look like others). Both of these issues, in my experience, can typically be overcome with a bit of correction, reinforcement, and practice. Needless to say, kanji can appear incredibly daunting to a beginning learner because of the sheer number of them, their complexity, and the idea of multiple readings, but I genuinely had never heard that sentiment expressed about the kana. (Needless to say, I do not intend this as an insult or slight toward anyone in this thread.) Anyhow, this has been somewhat enlightening, because now I suppose I have some concrete advice to offer people struggling with learning the kana beyond just "keep practicing, they'll stick eventually."

Believe me, you're preaching to the choir here. I myself started learning Japanese sometime back in the dark ages, and in the twenty-some years since then I've frequented numerous online forums (including this one, the LearnJapanese subreddit, and many others that no longer exist), as well as spent a few years teaching/tutoring in an official capacity when I was in grad school. I'm not naive to the realities of the situation. Really, it was only the point raised by Buntaro-san and his assertion(s) that many teachers "do a terrible job of teaching kana" and that, in turn, struggling to master hiragana has resulted in a significant number of students giving up that even got me considering this topic in the first place. (In the meantime, unfortunately, it seems like the OP is one of those one-and-done posters who may never return. Alas.)

Pornographic deepfakes of Taylor Swift emerged on social media. Politicians say the story is all too common

Composite image of X, Facebook and taylor Swift

The scourge of pornographic deepfake images generated by artificial intelligence has prompted calls for better legislation as fake images of singer Taylor Swift flood the internet. 

Key points:

  • One sexually explicit image of Swift was viewed 47 million times before the account was suspended, The New York Times reports
  • Reports show AI deepfakes are overwhelmingly weaponised against women
  • The White House says it was alarmed about the images and would "do what we can to deal with this issue"

The non-consensual and sexually explicit artificial intelligence (AI) images of Swift began circulating widely this week on the social media platform X.

One image shared was viewed 47 million times before the account was suspended, The New York Times reports. 

Swifties quickly mobilised with the hashtag #ProtectTaylorSwift, and some said they were reporting accounts that were sharing the deepfakes.

Deepfake-detecting group Reality Defender said it tracked a deluge of AI pornographic material depicting Swift, particularly on X.

Some images also made their way to Meta-owned Facebook and other social media platforms.

"Unfortunately, they spread to millions and millions of users by the time that some of them were taken down," said Reality Defender's Mason Allen.

Taylor Swift gives thumbs up

The researchers found at least a couple dozen unique AI-generated images.

The most widely shared were football related, showing a painted or bloodied deepfake Swift, in some cases being assaulted.

But Swift is far from the only person affected by rising explicit deepfakes. 

In 2019, a report released by the AI firm DeepTrace Labs showed these images were overwhelmingly weaponised against women.

Most of the victims, it said, were Hollywood actors and South Korean K-pop singers.

Rolling Stone writer and New York University's Taylor Swift researcher, Brittany Spanos, says it could be a "huge deal" if Swift pursues the images in court.

She adds the issue aligns with others Swift has pursued in court, including her 2017 lawsuit against a radio station DJ who allegedly groped her. 

Microsoft investigating if image generator was misused

X, formerly known as Twitter, has cut back its content-moderation teams since Elon Musk took over the platform in 2022.

"Our teams are actively removing all identified images and taking appropriate actions against the accounts responsible for posting them," the company wrote in the X post early on Friday morning.

"We're closely monitoring the situation to ensure that any further violations are immediately addressed, and the content is removed."

Meanwhile, Meta said in a statement it strongly condemned "the content that has appeared across different internet services" and had worked to remove it.

"We continue to monitor our platforms for this violating content and will take appropriate action as needed," the company said.

A representative for Swift didn't immediately respond to a request for comment on Friday (US time). 

Mr Allen said the researchers are 90 per cent confident the images were created by diffusion models.

Diffusion models are a type of generative artificial intelligence model that can produce new and photorealistic images from written prompts. 

Video screens showing Volodymyr Zelenskyy are behind a phone screen displaying a message about a fake video.

Microsoft, which offers an image-generator based partly on OpenAI's DALL-E, said it was in the process of investigating whether its tool was misused.

Midjourney, OpenAI and Stable Diffusion-maker Stability AI didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.

Porn deepfakes 'more common than most people realise'

US federal politicians, who have been asking for better protections, say the Swift incident highlights the urgency of legalisation surrounding deepfake porn. 

"For years, women have been victims of non-consensual deepfakes, so what happened to Taylor Swift is more common than most people realise," US Representative Yvette D Clarke said on X.

The New York Democrat has introduced legislation that would require creators to digitally watermark deepfake content.

"Generative-AI is helping create better deepfakes at a fraction of the cost," she adds. 

US Representative Joe Morelle has also been pushing a bill that would criminalise sharing deepfake porn online.

He is calling the incident "appalling". 

"The images may be fake, but their impacts are very real," Mr Morelle said in a statement.

"Deepfakes are happening every day to women everywhere in our increasingly digital world, and it's time to put a stop to them."

The White House says it was alarmed and would "do what we can to deal with this issue". 

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said congress should take legislative action on the issue.

Nami Nori Opens a Bakery With Japanese Fruit Sandwiches

Next door to its West Village restaurant, Postcard also sells matcha and Japanese teas — and is gluten-free

Share All sharing options for: Nami Nori Opens a Bakery With Japanese Fruit Sandwiches

Hand roll restaurant Nami Nori is opening a tea house and bakery called Postcard , right next door in the West Village, at 31-33 Carmine Street, at Bleecker Street, on February 9.

Lisa Limb, Taka Sakaeda, and Jihan Lee — who met while working under for Masa Takayama at three-star Michelin restaurant, Masa — opened Nami Nori in 2019 as a dressed-up temaki experience. Since then, the trio has opened a location in Williamsburg and another in Montclair. At Postcard, Sakaeda is doing the baking.

Limb says that the location came about serendipitously, with their Nami Nori landlord, who also owns this space, asking if they wanted to take over. It’s been in the works for a year, she says.

The menu features sweet and savory items from $3 to $14 with pastries like miso shortbread, raspberry mochi doughnuts, and black sesame banana bread; cakes by the slice like strawberry mousse cake and koji cheesecake; and chiffon cake fruit sandwiches (an item that’s become more popular thanks to TikTok ); chicken katsu, and an egg sandwich. The restaurant’s mochurros, served with lemon curd, and sesame miso chocolate chip cookies will also be available. Like desserts at Nami Nori, everything is gluten-free — joining the ranks of other bakeries that cater to those with dietary restrictions, such as Noglu on the Upper East Side.

Japanese teas are sourced by Kettl Tea and include matcha, hojicha (green tea), the loose-leaf sencha, soba cha, and black tea, with optional toppings like Okinawa brown sugar boba, coconut jelly, and housemade syrups. Coffee from AAPI-backed Coffee Project NY is also available. Drinks are $5 to $9.

While some restaurants have pulled back on investing in pastry chefs, high-end pastries have continued to thrive and evolve in other formats. Over the past few years in New York, there’s been an explosive rise in bakery openings, with names like L’Appartement 4F and Librae Bakery. Increasingly, restaurants themselves are also opening them: Raf’s operates as a bakery by day, led by pastry chef Camari Mick. Meanwhile, restaurants joining Nami Nori like Nura , Frenchette , and Sofreh , have also plotted bakery standalones, outside of and in addition to their restaurant.

The jewelry store showcase feel of the bakery is designed by Sarah Carpenter & Studio , which did HAGS and the Talea taprooms across the city. It will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday.
