#19 おしい (That was close) の3つの使い方 ｜3 Ways to Use “Oshii” 🇯🇵 Japanese Listening Practice

Konnichi what's up! Welcome to NINJA JAPANESE PODCAST! I'm NINJA SENSEI. Everyone, thank you for studying Japanese today. You are doing your best. In this podcast, I introduce useful phrases and Japanese culture in gentle Japanese. Today, I'm going to talk about a new phrase, おしい. Let's get started! Have you ever heard this phrase? おしい It's not おいしい. おしい Delicious is おいしい. Today's phrase is おしい. おいしい おしい The meaning of おしい is That was close. Almost In Japanese, It's almost perfect. But it's a little bit different. In this case, we use おしい. Today, I'm going to introduce three ways to use おしい. I'm going to introduce three situations. The first one is a sports game. The second one is a Japanese lesson. The third one is a test result. The first one is a sports game. What is my favorite sport? Do you know what it is? Yes, that's right. Basketball. What is this? Basketball. Let's use basketball as an example. I'm playing basketball. There is a goal. I shoot. And this is a ring. I hit the side of the ring and fell. I couldn't shoot. But I hit the side of the goal. I hit the side of the goal. In this case, I use おしい. Almost. That was close. Okay. Soccer and other sports are the same. For example, soccer. Soccer players kick the ball. And I hit the side of the goal. I couldn't shoot. But at this time, I use おしい. Good. Like this. Next time you see a sports game, please use this phrase. Okay. The second one is おしい used in Japanese lessons. I often use this in online lessons. For example, I am a teacher. You are students. Now, I had lunch at cafe. Please make a sentence. Can you make a sentence? I had lunch at cafe. Yes. Okay. I had lunch at cafe. Oh, wait. It's difficult. I am a student. Okay. Sorry. I am a teacher. Please make a sentence. I am a student. Okay. I got it. I had lunch at cafe. Then, I can say Oh, that was close. I had lunch at cafe. Yes. Like this. Oh, it's almost correct. But it's a little bit different. Almost correct. At this time, I use おしい. Okay. One more quiz. What is this? Yes. It's a wine. Can you say This is an expensive wine. Okay. One more time. I am a teacher and a student. In Japanese, What is this expensive wine? I am a student. This is an expensive wine. Oh, that was close. Yes. I use おしい. Okay. 高い is an i-adjective. So, This is an expensive wine. You can omit の. Oh, that's almost correct. At this time, I use おしい. Okay. The last one. It's a result of a test. For example, I am a teacher and a student. The teacher asks a student How was the JLPT test? Oh, you didn't pass. If you get 10 more points, you pass. Oh, that's close. Only 10 more points. That's close. It's like this. If you get a little more points, you pass. But I didn't get 10 points. Oh, that's close. Very close. Yes. I use it like this. Oh, did you get it? I introduced three situations this time as well. The first one is Sports おしい. The second one is Japanese lessons おしい. And the third one is おしい which can be used as a result of a test. So, everyone, Please try to make sentences using this おしい. It's okay if you make a mistake. Okay? So, make your own conversation of sports or Japanese lessons and please write it in the comments. Is that okay? Okay. That's it for today's podcast. Thank you for listening to the podcast until the end. Let's have fun studying Japanese together in the next episode. See you next time! Bye bye.
