Hi everyone,<\/p>\n

Happy Monday! \u00a0It is sunny and beautiful here in Pacific NW today. The weather like this is much appreciated around this time of the year as we tend to have more wet weather so often here, but I hear this weather will continue for another week which is a wonderful news for us. Hope weather is fabulous where you are too!<\/p>\n

One of my kids just recently had a birthday, and he had to send out an Evite invitation to his friends. I thought this might become a good topic of learning here as we can cover the basics of vocabularies, or phrases used in invitation cards etc.<\/p>\n

First, let’s go over some vocabularies. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Invitation = Shoutaijo\u3000\uff08\u3057\u3087\u3046\u305f\u3044\u3058\u3087\u3046\u3001\u62db\u5f85\u72b6\uff09<\/p>\n

Birthday = Tanjobi (\u305f\u3093\u3058\u3087\u3046\u3073\uff0c\u8a95\u751f\u65e5)<\/p>\n

Birthday Party = Tanjobi kai (\u305f\u3093\u3058\u3087\u3046\u3073\u304b\u3044\uff0c\u8a95\u751f\u65e5\u4f1a)<\/p>\n

Cake = K\u0113ki (\u30b1\u30fc\u30ad\uff0c\u3051\u30fc\u304d)<\/p>\n

Pizza = Piza (\u30d4\u30b6\uff0c\u3074\u3056)<\/p>\n

Location = Basho (\u3070\u3057\u3087\uff0c\u5834\u6240)<\/p>\n

Time = Jikan (\u3058\u304b\u3093\uff0c\u6642\u9593)<\/p>\n

Date = Hinichi (\u3072\u306b\u3061\uff0c\u65e5\u306b\u3061)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Below are the invitation he sent out to his buddies. Perhaps if you have an occasion to send out yours to your Japanese friends, you can try this…!!<\/p>\n
