Do the questions “What’s this?” and “What’s your name?” sound familiar? You ask questions like these all the time. In fact, if you need to ask a question, it will likely start with the word, “What.” When you are in Japan, you’ll encounter unfamiliar things. You want to be able to politely inquire about what they are.

This lower intermediate Japanese lesson shows you how to ask questions beginning with the word “what.” Along with this important skill, you’ll learn to use the phrase –to wa ienai (could hardly say). Speak impressive Japanese with phrases like, “I couldn’t say it was a lie…” and “I can’t say what it is.” This JapanesePod101.com lesson will help you take your Japanese to the next level.
