Stevan :

Ok I get that. But how about appreciating the fact that someone is trying to speak your language? They don’t mean bad, they just try to be polite.

steph :

arigato is like saying thanks. arigato gozaimasu is saying thank you

TwiNe :

So...we are not friends? 💔

Patrik Sahlsten :

Too many rules

Texas Dad :

“So we’re not friends”

Jelena :

When someone says in my language thank you, for me it doesn’t matter if that person said it right or wrong. I appreciate the effort and I respect that someone is even trying. 💕

lalalalala :

I'm Japanese and I work at very touristy place in Japan but "Arigato" is TOTALLY fine!! It's heartwarming just to hear people from other country trying to speak Japanese

_MeatBunny :

I’d just say “arigato very much yall” in the thickest southern accent I could.

TommyKool :

When you come to America we don’t care how you talk so long as you try

Serdalito :

it's not that deep

saruno_m :

Arigato gozaimasu = Thank you or Thanks. Arigato = Thanks, bro.

みしぇる :

Don’t worry guys. If you are LEARNING Japanese and want to IMPROVE more,then you should know that difference but if you are a beginner or tourist, Arigato is enough. We still feel respect from you guys.

Keni :

im my language u have one word for thank you and it is enough, its about being polite and basic considerate, not meeting your personal needs as an individual, for every person to his own, so if people say arigato with a smile that is more than genuine and polite, not bitter sweet. Nobody wants to offend anyone but also people don't have time for learning someones way of things so basic politeness should be enough

Magpielilian :

I’m Irish so if we are speaking we are friends 🍀❤

Hanna ⚛️ :

ARIGATO

MorraDis :

Some countries don’t have the class hierarchies in their culture like Norway🇳🇴 . We use casual conversation and greetings to anyone, no matter if you’re king, the prime minister or your neighbor.

Ooo :

I’m Japanese, don’t worry at all you can still say Arigato😂😂Love ppl trying to speak our language 💖💖

Bravo :

Adelaide :

Thank you! 🙏 How would you translate go zai masu? 😊

Knightclub :

So instead of saying arigato you say arigato?

The-Dutch-Guy :

Most people already struggle with just arigato. 😅

winsleach :

“Arigato gozaimasu” but you pronounce it as: Arigato gozaimas. is that correct?

jesus rosales :

"we are not offended"

George the Cat :

It’s also that, in the west, we’re very casual with each other. Even total strangers. Arigato is, to us, “thanks mate” which is a totally normal thing to say to literally anyone. At least where I’m from.
