*When \u00a0you are congratulating someone, you use the word “\u304a\u3081\u3067\u3068\u3046” in Japanese, but we also use\u00a0\u304a\u3081\u3067\u3068\u3046 when we tell someone “Happy Birthday”.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u304a\u305f\u3093\u3058\u3087\u3046\u3073\u3000\u304a\u3081\u3067\u3068\u3046\u3002(Otanjoubi Omedetou!) (\u304a\u8a95\u751f\u65e5\u3000\u304a\u3081\u3067\u3068\u3046\uff09-Happy Birthday!<\/p>\n

* After eating or drinking even at a restaurant, we often use the expression “\u3054\u3061\u305d\u3046\u3055\u307e(gochisou sama)”.\u00a0“\u3054\u3061\u305d\u3046\u3055\u307e” is an expression similar to “Thank you for ~”, but we use it only for something to eat or drink. People often walk away from the restaurant saying\u00a0“\u3054\u3061\u305d\u3046\u3055\u307e” after paying the bill.<\/p>\n
Related to this, it is also a courtesy to say\u00a0“\u3054\u3061\u305d\u3046\u3055\u307e” after every meal or snack including at your own home. We say this by putting our hands together. You can also say “\u3054\u3061\u305d\u3046\u3055\u307e\u3067\u3057\u305f\u3002”\u00a0instead of\u00a0“\u3054\u3061\u305d\u3046\u3055\u307e”.\u00a0“\u3054\u3061\u305d\u3046\u3055\u307e\u3067\u3057\u305f” is a bit more polite way of saying compared to just\u00a0“\u3054\u3061\u305d\u3046\u3055\u307e”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
