Hi everyone, hope you are doing great, and your learning is going well.<\/p>\n
Today’s topic is all about saying No in Japanese. \u00a0I don’t normally like to say, No just because I feel bad about telling someone I can’t, sometimes. But we all know that sometimes you can’t avoid saying it and just have to simply say, No…<\/p>\n
When someone wants to have lunch with you, or asks you to go somewhere with him\/her, or perhaps offers you a help, but you don’t feel like you want to go along or accept it… \u00a0how would you say, “No, thank you” in Japanese? You can simply say, “Kekko desu (\u7d50\u69cb\u3067\u3059\u3001\u3051\u3063\u3053\u3046\u3067\u3059\u3002)” But, this could sound\u00a0not too nice sometimes. \u00a0Here are some quick lessons on how to say No in Japanese.. nicely… \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
