#797 なんなら / EASY JAPANESE PODCAST Learn Japanese with MASA and ASAMI

Good evening, everyone. Good evening. Well, recently, we've been getting a lot of comments asking us to have a chat. Yeah. We'd like to do that as much as possible. Yes. But we've been getting a lot of questions. It's really a lot. Thank you. We've been getting a lot of emails. If we're going to use difficult words, it's going to be quite difficult for us, and it's going to be difficult to listen to them, right? That's right. So, among the questions we've received, I think it would be nice if we could answer the words that seem to be able to have a chat-like conversation. Yeah. If possible. For example. Questions that we can talk about more easily. That's right. Difficult questions, sometimes. Yeah. Let's put some easy questions in between. It's easy. It's fun. That's what I thought. So, I chose this question today. Yes. Yes, please. Yes. Here we go. Can you tell me how to use NAN NARA? I've heard it a lot, but I still don't understand it. I'm guessing a lot of people say this as a habit. That's it. Yes. NAN NARA. Yes. Thank you very much. NAN NARA. That's interesting. NAN NARA. Hmm. Is this a dialect? What do you think? I don't think it's a dialect. I think a lot of people say it. I think it depends on the generation and the area. I think the atmosphere is a little different. But everyone uses it. I think everyone uses it as long as they know the person who asked the question. NAN NARA. That's an interesting word. NAN NARA. For example, how to use it. NAN NARA YATTE AGEYO KA? Yes. NAN NARA GOHAN TABETE IKIMASU KA? I was thinking about that too. That's what I often use. Yes. NAN NARA NANTOKA SHIYOU KA? Yes. NAN NARA. Hmm. It's all the same. Yes. It's just that the content is different. Yes. I don't really understand the meaning of the word. Maybe it's like this. If necessary. If it's okay. That's what it means. For example, if you need it, would you like to eat? If you don't mind, would you like to eat at my house? Yes. It's very casual. NAN NARA. I see. Certainly. If you don't mind. It's getting more and more broken. Yes. That's very similar. Yes. That's NAN NARA. I see. It's funny. NAN NARA is really broken. It's broken. When you use it with friends. But I don't think it's rude to use it with your superiors. Yes. It's pretty casual. I feel like I'm using it with people I can talk to easily. Is that so? No. I think it's a good idea to use it with people you don't get along with. I see. I think that's why it's different. I don't think so. Maybe it's because I don't say that much. But. You mean to your superiors? Yes. You might say that to your superiors. In my opinion. For example, I think it's good to say that to your manager. I see. I don't know, but I have an image of saying it. Maybe it's just the person above me saying it. So I don't think there's a strict rule around that. I see. Of course, if it's a really great person or someone you've just met, I think they'll say, if you don't mind. Like a customer. But if it's someone you're always with, I don't know if I can say it. It depends on the relationship. With the other person. I don't know about that. Well, that's the way it is. Anyway, it's a casual version. Certainly, if it's someone you're not very close to, or someone you don't get along with at all, you might feel a little rude. But I might do it. But it's a good thing, isn't it? It's very close, or close. Maybe so. So, I don't know if that's the answer. There's something I can't say. That's what it means. That's right. I use it a lot. I hear it a lot. But what I'm thinking about right now is... Don't older people say that a lot? I think so. I think older people say that a lot, too. But even elementary school students say that a lot, don't they? I wonder if they do. You know, like, come over to my house. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You say that, don't you? Yeah, I do. So I have an image of words that a lot of people use. That's true. It's not really generational. The meaning may be a little different, but... I don't think it's a word that only people of this generation use. That's right. But I haven't really thought about that word. Really? I can't say anything about it right now. It's a little mysterious. I'm thinking back on how I used it and talking about it. It's like, if that's the case. That's right. There's a word that's almost equal to the word, if that's the case. There's a word that says, if that's the case. There is. I think they're all friends. If you need it, you can say, if that's the case, if that's the case, if that's the case, if that's the case. It's like a blur. There are a lot of similar words with that kind of image. That's right. I feel like I use a lot of words around that. If that's the case, I'll say it a lot. I'll say it. It's about what that is. You know, there's a tendency to avoid saying it directly. There is. If you want me to help you, I'll help you. If you say it like that, it's very strong. It's like you're asking me to do something. That's right. I'm going to blur that out and say, if that's the case, let's do it. It's like that. How do you say it? It's easier for them to say, thank you. It's easier for them to get help. That's right. It's like a cushion. That's right. So, if you don't mind, I'd like you to make an example sentence using NAN NARA. I think it would be nice if you could use it on a daily basis. For example, if there are people in other countries who are learning Japanese who use NAN NARA, they will be quite surprised. It's very natural, isn't it? I think it's natural. By using NAN NARA, you can get a sense of being a native speaker at once. That's right. I think so. Everyone, please try it out. Yes. See you later.
