Feeling the cash crunch in Tokyo? It’s easy to spend to much money in Tokyo. But in this series, we’ll give you the tips and language skills you need to save money in Japan! In today’s episode, two Japanese hosts are talking about how to save (or the case of the guy with a sugar mommy, how to spend!) their hard earned yen.
In today’s Japanese lesson, we’ll review useful vocabulary for discussing finances. Then we’ll learn how to use the -ba conditional with yokatta, the past tense of the Japanese adjective ii, which means good. This is how you say “I wish” in Japanese. This useful expression is often used in everyday Japanese conversation, so it’s an important grammar point to learn if you want to master Japanese.
