Master Japanese Vocabulary: Feelings and Emotions Explained

Hello and welcome to this Japanese for beginners course. This is your teacher Rosie again and I'm so excited to learn even more new things with you today. Now before starting our new lesson, I would like us to review what we have learned in our previous class. Are you ready? Let's get started. I will repeat every word twice. Okay. Okay. for Sam. Ski ski. for it's a it's a my o she or Chick to Yes. night. Now, that's all for our review of our previous lesson. Now, let's learn more about emotions. Are you ready? Let's go. Now, how do we say happy in Japanese? How would you say, "Oh, I'm not happy." Lonely in Japanese can be orishi. So it can be either with me or with be and it means exactly the same thing lonely. Now, how would we say not lonely or sad? Not sad. Good night. Good night. Tired. Not tired. Sleepy. Not sleepy. Boring or bored? Or in a shorter way, more informal way. I don't recommend using the second one with anyone unless they are your very very very close friends. Not boring. So this from this one from board. So we make the negative form of the adjective. If we would talk about this one then it would be very good angry. So we have the verboro to get angry is continuous form. So if you want to see that you're angry, you would say not angry. Shy or embarrassed. Not shy or not embarrassed. To worry about something. Not to worry. surprised to be surprised. So if you want to say to your friend that you got surprised, you can just say, but if we're talking that someone got surprised, we say it as a verb. Not surprised. Hungry. Firsty. nervous to get nervous to be nervous. So if you're nervous, you can tell your friend or to fall in love. To feel unwell we can say it in two ways. The first one is the second one is now. So we have learned different ways to call our emotions, right? and different verbs to describe the way we are feeling like are we nervous? Are we hungry? Are we thirsty? But now let's learn how to express our happy, sad, nervous emotions and what things would we say in those situations when we're feeling like that. So the first emotions that we will try to express are happy emotions. So let's learn some happy expressions. It's like yay when you're happy about something or when you're like you were looking forward to something, you were waiting for something and it happened. You're like or when you're happy for your friend like like yay. Next one is nice. Like when your friend tells you about something something nice that happened to them and you're like Yeah, that's nice, isn't it? It's like, wow, that's so cool. That's amazing. Ya. It's like, wow, crazy in a good way. Uh, it's like, omg. Uh, because yaba can be used also in a bad way. So this is written in katakana and if we translate it like from English it would mean lucky u but it also means like yes lucky lucky. So imagine your friend tells you uh for example I don't know you got a boyfriend or a girlfriend and they went out on a really nice date and you're like ah it's like ah so nice. This is just like a sound expression when you're like surprised and happy at the same time. Like wowto really. So both of these questions mean really. So you can use whichever you want. Now, let's learn how to express our excited emotions. So, let's take a look. Dokey doie dockie doie. Oh, this is exciting. So, it's like when your heart is beating a bit fast, it's like dockie doie dockie doie. So, when I'm excited for something, I can say dockie doie. So, it expresses my feelings. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, "Oh my goodness, that's so nice." Yeah. Um especially if you're on a date and something nice happens or you receive a gift, you're like, "Yeah." It's quite a cute expression and a lot of Japanese girls use this like can't wait, looking forward to it. It also kind of expresses the way your heart feels in that moment. Likewointed expressions. It's like, "Oh, right. I understand." Um, so for example, your friend promis you something and they forget and you're like, I see, right? I understand. But you're angry. You know, you're disappointed. Sh. It's like, oh, I'm shocked. I'm crushed. What? It's like when something unexpected happens, something bad, you're like ah, oh. Oh, too bad. us. No way. USA actually means a lie in Japanese, but when someone says, it's like, oh, no way. Now, some angry, annoyed expressions. Unbelievable that this happened. Mi so actually muri means impossible but it can also mean like nope it's impossible I will not do that it's like oh leave me alone what so you and use one or the other. It means what? Maji maji. Maji. Seriously. So before we used maji in an excited way like maji like really. But if you say it in a different tone, it can express a different emotion. So using your tone correctly is really important with these expressions. And this one it means like seriously no or not allowed. But in this situation it's more like no more more. It's like like that's enough. I had enough. That's it. You have worked so hard and you have finished yet another lesson with this Japanese for beginners course. After this lesson today, you will be able to express your emotions way better. So, and I will see you in our next lesson.
