Mina-san, when you meet someone for the first time, what do you usually talk about?

It depends on who I meet but usually - work, and what is around us when we meet for the first time.
Wednesday at 4:21 pm
Work, because that’s usually a safe subject … And after that hobbies. I’d be surprised if someone asked me my age right away. But then again, it depends on circumstances.

こんにちは。皆さん。
Konnichiwa mina-san
皆さん、ご兄弟は?
Mina-san go-kyoudai wa?
Do you have siblings?
Wednesday at 10:23 pm
はい、妹一人います。
If I meet someone in a casual setting, the topic usually covers my hobby. There’s something 懐かしい about seeing one of those big cameras with a bellows. People just can’t help being curious about it. I do have to be careful to not bore people with details, so I let them ask more questions. (http://www.flickr.com/photos/bloritsch/1442373827/)
If I meet someone in a more formal setting, the topic usually covers my job. That’s another one you can easily bore people with details if you are not careful.

はい、姉一人います、けど、ふたごが います、 だから 私たちと いっしょに 住んでいません。

thanks, as always!
(aaaah too bad, i’m stil wondering why I am trying writing japanese…oh yes, it’s just beacuse I am actually studying it…
Meeting someone for the first time, I usually speak/ask about hobbies or hometown too. But it clearly depends on the context.

Oh sweet, a new beginner’s series. Now I may be able to actually keep up with episodes and participate in threads that aren’t over 2 years old!

Friday at 2:15 pm
Naomi Sensei, すみません、 私のへんじは ちょっと おそい です。。
sorry if it’s wrong!
ところで、はい、姉もイタリアに住んでいます。じつは、姉のうちと私たちの は とても ちかい です。 I absolutely don’t know if I can say something like “AのC to Bの wa “something”, I thought about that about 2 days!
Friday at 3:19 pm
Angie-さん, バロン-san
Thank you for your reply!!!
Angie-san, your sentences are great!!! I think 姉のうちと 私たちの「うち」は とても ちかいです。 sounds more natural.
Saturday at 8:59 am

Saturday at 1:58 pm
Gilin-san, sugoi! Great job posting in Japanese! Looks pretty good!

Saturday at 10:53 pm
Gilin-san,
Watashi no shusshin wa Amerika no Baajinia desu.
私の出身はアメリカのバージニアです。
Sunday at 7:55 pm
Hello Talking about weather in the very first meeting is a safe bait, me thinkso.
Tuesday at 7:35 am
直美先生、はい、妹が三人います。
Yes, Naomi-sensei, I have three younger sisters.
gilin-san, watashi no shusshin wa Placerville, CA desu.
皆さん、動物がいますか?
Everyone, do you have any pets?
Tuesday at 2:09 pm
マイ -san
Thank you for answering my question!!
ありがとうございます。
犬がいます。Inu ga imasu. ” I have a dog.”
Saturday at 12:53 pm
はははー、直美先生、すみません、I accidentally combined my replies into one in lesson 1’s comment section. How confusing of me
ありがとう、thank you for answering my question.
私の犬は白くて赤くてとても嬉しいですが、she barks a lot! はははー、でも、すきですよ!
My dog is white and apricot (not really red but I didn’t know a better Japanese word), and very happy,… …but I love her.
Monday at 12:15 pm
私は相手の方初めて時天気か、仕事か、趣味し ついて話します。
I might have run afoul of a construction rule here. The concept was “when meeting other people for the first time I usually talk about such things as the weather, work, or hobbies.” Neutral topics…
Tuesday at 10:45 am
亀井さん
おしいですね!
That would be;
初めて会った時、たいてい天気か、仕事か、趣味について話します。
I hope this helps.
Tuesday at 11:24 am
素子さん、
ありがとうございます。
I knew I got stuck on an English way of thinking about the opening phrase.
私は初めて会った時、たいてい天気か、仕事か、趣味などついて話します。
今度は正しいですか
Wednesday at 11:22 am
亀井さん
とてもいいですね!
Please make sure that the spelling is ~について
