こんにちは。Nice to meet you again. How are you going ? げんきですか？。Today, we talk about shopping again. Previous lesson, we talk about Japanese money Yen.Then, today, we are going to shopping in Japanese language. Can you read the 1) sentence ?
You : KONO WAIN WA IKURA DESUKA?
Staff : NISEN YEN DESU.
You : JYA KORE WO KUDASAI.
Staff : HAI. ARIGATOU GOZAIMASU.
Meaning, How much is this wine? it’s 2 thousand yen. Okay, I’ll take it. Yes, Thank you so much.
Can you imagine the situation ? you found the good wine, you will drink it with your family or friends. So you ask how much. It’s 2000yen…It’s reasonable. So you will buy this wine. Typically in Japan , all shops don’t accept for price bid because there is already a tag on the items. In short, it is fixed. It’s for you to decide whether you should buy or not after seeing the tags. but sometimes you cant find the tags, in this case or you want to use in Japanese language, you say this word. Don’t request discount here please.
Remember ” この その あの “words. if you find it beside you, ” この( stuff ) ” right? is it Okay? Those photos are your reference.
Word : りんご RINGO Apple
Next,, how to count Japanese money in Japanese.
Can you read all ? How was 60円? it’s ROKU JYU- YEN. Is it Okay? Then next,
How was this ? SAN JYU- YEN. SAN JYU- NI YEN, NANA JYU- HATI YEN. Can you correct all ?
The right one is HYAKU ROKU JYU- YEN.
NI HYAKU NANA JYU- YEN, GO HYAKU KYU- JYU- YEN, GO HYAKU KYU- JYU- SAN YEN. Are you Okay ?
Then, Finally this words are pronunciation a little bit different.
SAN BYAKU YEN, ROTT PYAKU YEN, HATT PYAKU YEN.
No choice to remember. There is not rule. Really, Japanese words are troublesome. But This pronunciation is easy to say on Japanese people.
Today, you feel so hard to say. because counting figure is so hard to read and remember. So first, from 1 to 10. then 10 to 100. after that, add the Yen. More than 100, maybe make you more troublesome. because there is a different method of reading way in English. I don’t want to continue anymore today. Don’t worry.
See Yah!!
