Episode 56 - 伺う

from How to Japanese Podcast · host Daniel Morales

In the newsletter this month, I looked at 伺う (ukagau) a broadly useful "humble" keigo verb, and on the blog I looked at the other kanji that help ukagau expand its meanings. On the podcast, I talked about keigo more broadly. It's often overcomplicated and intimidating. Students need an easy way in, and I think there's a way to create a simple binary for many keigo verbs. Give the episode a listen and let me know what your own keigo experience has been like! Feel free to reach out with any questions or 悩み事 to [email protected]. You can also follow How to Japanese on Substack, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook.
