Hi! weather here in NW is much like a spring weather this week in 70’s. \u00a0Even warmer than the normal spring.. After having so many rainy days, we all love it! With the weather being this nice, there are so many reasons to go outside and enjoy your day. Some of you might be enjoying, hiking, bike riding, running, and simply walking in the park to really get most needed Vitamin D. However, you can do so much in a day as we all have some sort of responsibilities to take care of first as priority. So, what if you have to say “no” to some of your friends and family when they invite you to do something with them.. \u00a0There are friendly ways of saying “no” as well as more formal ways of saying “no”. \u00a0Do you know all these variations? \u00a0Read on..!<\/p>\n

It all depends on your situation, either you are talking to your close friend or someone you just met, or your boss at work. There are many ways of saying “no” in Japanese just like in English. The last two are probably the most formal ways of saying “no” and that you can use in business conversation as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
