When do you say “omedetou” in Japanese? 🇯🇵In today’s episode, we’re learning useful Japanese phrases for celebrations and congratulations!We’ll practice natural phrases for different situations, including birthdays, entering a new school, graduation, passing an exam, getting married, having a baby, and New Year.In Japanese, we often use:[situation] + omedetouBut we don’t use omedetou for every special occasion!For example, on Mother’s Day or Father’s Day, we usually say:Itsumo arigatou.Instead of trying to translate everything directly from English, try connecting the situation and the phrase together.For example:Birthday → Otanjoubi omedetou!Graduation → Sotsugyou omedetou!Passing an exam → Goukaku omedetou!Learning phrases together with the situation can help you remember what to say when you actually need it!🌸 Want to practice Japanese in more detail?I also offer private Japanese lessons on italki!Book a private Japanese lesson with me on italkihttps://www.italki.com/en/teacher/6340545?lv=1#LearnJapanese #JapaneseLearning #JapanesePhrases #JapaneseCulture #JapanesePodcast #BeginnerJapanese #Omedetou #StudyJapanese
