Five Ore
To ask someone if they speak Japanese in Japanese, correst translation?
My Japanese teachers are nowhere to be found at the moment, to I have to sacrifice five of my points for my answers *tear*
Is it correct to ask “Do you speak Japanese?”
As…
Anata wa Nihon-go iidasuka?
Oh, and if you know, can you tell me any other words I could use for ‘You’ or ‘yourself’ instead of ‘Anata’? I know I can use ‘Boku’, ‘Ore’ and ‘Watakushi’ instead of ‘Watashi’ for reffering to myself.
Instead of anata you can always use the surname of the person + san. In Japanese it is very common to say “tanaka-san wa osushi ga suki desu ka?” meaning “Do you like sushi?” (talking to Tanaka)
Other ways of saying ”you” aren’t advisable since they involve familiarity. For example “omae” is often used among male friends or towards social inferiors, “kimi” is used towards younger people, girls, etc. But none of them are advisable
As for “Do you speak Japanese”, well, what you say, “anata wa nihon-go (de) ii desu ka” would rather be “is it OK for you (to use) Japanese?”
To ask whether they speak Japanese, you can say:
Nihongo ga hanasemasu ka?
日本語が話せますか？
(Can you speak Japanese?)
Anata shouldn’t be overused. If the context is clear, leave it out. If you really wanna use a subject and you know the person’s surnaname, you could use it, although it’s not necessary
Tanaka-san wa nihongo ga hanasemasu ka?
田中さんは日本語が話せますか？
(Can you speak Japanese – speaking to Tanaka-san)

The Complete Caruso including The Original Victor Talking Machine Co. Master Recordings [Box Set] $125.98 From the youthful bloom and impetuous swagger of Enrico Caruso’s debut 1902 recordings to the darker, almost baritonal overtones typifying his final sessions before the acoustic horn, the singer’s resplendent vocalism and generous performing style remain the archetype for Italian tenors. As a child of the late 19th century, Caruso was prone to embellish upon composers’ texts, yet his passion, comm… |
