'Bye' in Japanese in 10 Different Situations! (Not SAYONARA)

In this video, I explained how to say "bye" in 10 different situations. I started off with casual greetings to friends that you might hear often from Japanese media, then moved on to more formal greetings that are used with strangers such as at a restaurant, and also with older people. Those expressions are used in real life among native speakers. Some of them are lost in translation and they only exist in Japanese. So it's important to learn the culture along with the language, and understand the REAL usage! If you can use them all, you will sound MORE LIKE A NATIVE SPEAKER!

i love how when there's kanji in a sentence you put hiragana over it!! i know hiragana and some katakana at this point but i'm not very good at kanji yet, so this is really helpful :))

ive had "ne" explained to me like 45 hundred times and i wouldnt say ive had a hard time putting it to practical use, BUT calling it by "sharing a feeling" is the most concise and clear way anyones ever said it i think! really valuable framing. the closest ive had before that is using like, "right?" but its less of a question and more like "we both feel this way" ... ne is such an interesting word. i love japanese hahaha

Thank you for your hard work Sayaka-san !👩🏻‍🏫👍🏻🫶🏻

[andimilan]

when your friend says "sayonara" to you, it means he will never come back again.
when a student says "sayonara" to his teacher, it means he won't be going back to school anymore😂

[techitint.]

I am Italian living in Australia and studying Japanese from English, hence your lessons are just perfect! And let me tell you, I love the way you explain and teach, entertaining and practical and straight to the point. Thanks so much for creating these contents.

[samuelmelendez]

When I watch anime or just hear japanese people speak its always great to know what they are saying without subtitles even if its just a word or phrase, You're the best Sayaka 😁

[yesilovenachos]

Your video editor deserves a pay raise.

ありがとうございます, 先生 🙏

[JapanesewithGohan-kun]

Great lesson! 🎉
If you wanna sound like samurai or ninja, you can say "さらばだ sarabada" to impress people 😎

[rickyyxm]

Thank you so much for your time! I'm from Italy and I'm trying to learn Japanese because, one day, I wish to go (and live) in Japan. So thank you so much! 💗

[KGalien]

Thankfully, the phrase which is used for leaving sb's place and the phrase we say to sb leaving work before us have alternative in Persian which is my mother tongue😍
Thanks a lot for making such a great and useful video❤🙏🏻

[TyTyMcGinty]

Honestly, I'm not actively trying to learn Japanese. I just enjoy your videos lol!

[FranBunnyFFXII]

When I was a little kid, we were taught that you only say Sayonara to someone you think you probably wont see again ever, or for a very long time. A Very Formal, farewell.

[LeviAckerman-ifyn]

You're the best japanese teacher i've ever known <3 💗
Thank you sayaka sensei 😊

[iamkunichiwa]

Every time I learn Japanese, I am so struck by how similar it is to Korean. All the weird ones that you’ve mentioned here, I a 100% understand as a Korean. Yea! They're definitely more heartwarming ways to greet/farewell & show a lot about our nurturing and caring culture. <3 Btw, great videos!!

[samanali]

I'm so glad you're back😭😭😭❤ Btw, my Japanese has gotten so much better thanks to you! I can finally speak it❤❤ ありがとうございます先生! 私は日本語がすきです。

[Avicenna]

I have been studying Japanese off and on for years, have lived in Japan and visit there often, and I STILL find new things I didn't know (or quite understand the nuances of) in almost every one of your videos. You are AMAZING. THANK YOU for creating this channel and doing what you do!!!

[matthewgreenawalt]

It’s amazing to see what a gap there is between what is the academic, commonly-taught choice of phrases and what are the phrases commonly used in Japan, and their nuanced, particular situational meanings. I appreciate your content helping so much to close this gap very well in conjunction with the apps out there for people trying to learn Japanese, you are also providing some level of immersion to me with your channel which is wonderful because I’m in Arizona 😂 and your English is great
