    Note: โ€ใ€œใฎใจใŠใ‚Šใซno tooriniโ€, is almost same to โ€œใ€œใฎใ‚ˆใ†ใซno youniโ€, but โ€œใ€œใฎใจใŠใ‚Šใซno tooriniโ€ has more rigorous nuance.

    โ€œIt doesnโ€™t go as expected.โ€

    [00:08]

    โ€œIโ€™m getting by, thank you.โ€

    [00:08]

    Hello everyone.

    Do you know the expression โ€œokagesamaโ€? If you are living in Japan, you might have heard this expression.

    Typical usages are;

    [00:21]

    โ€œHow are you doing (recently)?โ€

    โ€œIโ€™m getting by, thank you.โ€

    โ€œHowโ€™s your family doing? โ€œ

    โ€œWeโ€™re all fine, thank you.โ€

    [00:34]

    โ€œO kage samaโ€ means โ€œthanks to youโ€ or โ€œthank your helpโ€ and is often used to express thanks in our daily conversation.

    [00:45]

    Well, we also use for โ€œfortunatelyโ€œ or โ€œThank God!โ€.

    Note: It doesnโ€™t necessarily mean that you thank the person you are talking to. Often, itโ€™s just an additional/decorative word. โ€œKageโ€ means shadow, implying there is something we canโ€™t see but it might have helped our life possible. Although Itโ€™s a polite expression, it can be understood as sarcastic in some contexts.

    Repeat after me

    [00:54]

    1. Iโ€™ve already been discharged from the hospital, thank you.

    2. I was able to relax, thank you.

    3. Iโ€™m getting used to work, thank you.

    4. That was delicious, thank you.

    5. I had a good time, thank you.

    [01:56]

    I will ask you the followings. Please answer with key words [KW].

    For example,

    [02:07]

    I remember, you said youโ€™ve lost your smartphone?

    [KW] found it

    โ†’ Iโ€™ve found it, thank you.

    Ready?

    [02:19]

    1. Iโ€™ve heard your mother is in hospital.

    [KW] already, discharged from hospital

    โ†’ Sheโ€™s already been discharged, thank you.

    2. How was your holiday? It was for 3 weeks, wasnโ€™t it?

    [KW] able to relax

    โ†’ I was able to relax, thank you.

    3. By the way, youโ€™ve started a new job, have you?
