GRAMMAR
T he f ocus of t his le sson is Asking For Some t hing in Japane se
In Japanese, the phrase that covers both "excuse me" and "I'm sorry" is sumimasen (
).
Sumimase n.
"Excuse me ."
Sumimasen is the same as "excuse me" in English, and we can use it to get the attention
of someone, like a stranger or a clerk in a store or restaurant.
Asking f or Some t hing wit h One gai Shimasu
The phrase o-negai shimasu basically means "please" in English, and we use it when
asking for something. To ask for something, simply say o-negai shimasu after you say the
name of the item or service that you want.
