Start Learning Japanese at JapanesePod101.com! Fabrizio lost his wallet (seems he loses lots of things!) so he goes to ask a keisatsukan (police officer) about it. We’ll introduce o- and go-, two important honorific prefixes. We’ll also review some verb conjugation. If you’re wasureppoi (person who tends to lose things), then this will be an important lesson for you! After listening, stop by JapanesePod101.com and be sure to leave us a post!

Mina-san, are you wasureppoi (a person who tends to lose things a lot)?
Nice pic jpod team
And no I rarely lose things. How do I say that in Japanese?

Great job Mayumi, this is really nice work!
A person, nope, not normal. We’re making up for Golden Week.
Fabrizio should be extremely careful, if he usually carries around the kind of money that’s on the picture !
It’s a good thing his wallet was empty this time… or his dream might have turned to nightmare !
私も忘れっぽくないです。Probably because I tend to check everything twice…. (especially my keys…)
Very nice picture, are you all going to have pictures for the future lessons?
Yes, we are going to have pictures for each lesson from now on!
がんばります!
Mayumi
Mina-san
[忘れっぽい/wasureppoi = forgetful] is a good phrase to know.
私は忘れっぽいです。/Watashi wa wasureppoi desu. = I’m forgetful.
For “I loose things a lot”, you can also say…
私は よく 物を なくします。Watashi wa yoku mono o nakushimasu.
よく/yoku=often
もの/mono=item, things
なくします/nakushimasu=to lose
みなさんは、最近、物をなくしましたか?
Mina-san wa saikin, mono o nakushimashita ka?
Did you lose things recently?
Wow..so there will be pictures in the future. I love these beautiful pics. Can we have important phrases in the pictures? I want to collect this pictures and use it as a flash card.
Naomi,
最近、大好きな人をなくしました。悲しいですね。。。
I lost my wallet once. I searched my house for hours but, then I looked in my FRONT pocket… and there it was.
