Alright, so these were the top 5 phrases.
to flatter your boss
or to work effectively with your colleagues.
One last phrase to remember.
Good job.
This phrase is a must-know.
It's not even like flattering people.
It's just a courtesy.
It's just a polite thing to say
Or just say it.
This is usually lost in translation
but you could translate it like
Thank you for your hard work
Or thank you for your effort
or good work.
So when you finish a project
or when you finish working for the day
or even when you have a drinking party
with your colleagues
They would say "Otsukaresama desu."
It comes from the verb "tsukareru," meaning "to be tired," right?
You must be tired.
You deserve rest.
One thing to be careful about is that
Your boss might say "Gokurousama."
or perhaps even "Thank you for your hard work"
But don't use that against your boss or your senior.
"Go-kurō-sama" can only be used by your boss, okay?
So if you're a boss and you want to say
Hey, good work.
You can say "Gokurō-sama"
but if you're working for someone else,
if you're working under somebody,
You have to say "Otsukaresama desu."
or Thank you for your hard work.
Be careful because even Japanese people
Make this mistake
And many bosses complain about this.
Did he say "good job" to me?
I'll reduce your salary.
That's it for today
but don't leave just yet
