Japan is a country where you can easily get by with virtually no Japanese and only English and in others, very few people would know English to help you. It’s a good idea to join a Japanese language institute to learn the essential words and phrases to get the fun rolling.
We’ve got your back with this list to help you get started!
It can be a bit intimidating to know where to begin. These basic Japanese words can help you make your visit to Japan memorable. And that’s the whole point, isn’t it?
Learning some important phrases and words to fall back on to keep the conversation going or ask questions is the key to relaxing a bit when speaking. So, of course, you should know your essential and basic Japanese words.
Let us focus on the emergency words which can save you in life or death situations. If you are in trouble, you need to be able to scream for help. Maybe it’s a toilet emergency, but you don’t know how to ask.
- Toilet (Toire): Everyone needs to go and when you got to go, you got to be able to ask where the toilet is at. This sounds almost like “toilet” without a “T” at the last.
- Help (Tasukete): Shout this out when you need help!
- I don’t understand (Wakarimasen): Let the native speakers know that you don’t understand what they are saying with this word.
- Seems like I’m Going to Die (Shinisou): When things get really serious, you may need to use these words to save yourself.
- Police (Keisatsu): If something really bad happens, these are the people you want to ask for.
- Dangerous (Abunai): You’ll see these signs and stuff. Remember to be careful around these signs.
- Peril, Hazard (Kiken): Basically, this is just another abunai. You’ll see this on signs as well.
Japanese Greetings for Every day
- Good Morning (Ohayou Gozaimasu): A formal way to greet someone in the morning, you’ll use this with co-workers, strangers, or superiors. With friends and family, you can shorten it by saying.
