Ep12.お気持ちだけで結構です|Your kind thought is more than enough.

日本人は誰かのご厚意（こうい）でプレゼントや特別な贈り物を受け取る前に、ほとんどの場合は「お気持ちだけで結構です」と丁寧に断ります。特にサービス業では相手に見返りを求めてないので、断るのが普通です。何度か断って相手がどうしても「受け取ってほしい」と言うのなら、相手の気持ちと一緒に受け取ってもいいでしょう。In Japan, when someone is about to receive a gift or special present as a gesture of kindness, it is almost always customary to politely decline first, saying something like, "Your thoughtfulness alone is more than enough."This is especially true in the service industry, where accepting something in return is generally avoided since there is no expectation of reciprocation. The standard practice is to decline twice, and only if the other person insists — saying they truly want you to have it — is it then appropriate to accept both the gift and the sentiment behind it.🤙🏻ネイティブフレーズPolite Ways to Decline in English1️⃣お気持ちだけで結構です。Your kind thought is more than enough.or 2️⃣いえ、本当に大丈夫です。No, honestly, I'm fine./Please, I really don't need anything.✅ただでさえただでさえ給料が低いのに、チップなんて払えないですよね🤣My pay is low enough as it is.
