| Hi, everyone. It’s Risa. In this lesson you're going to learn greetings used among young people. Let's get started! |
| おっす! (Ossu!) "What's up?" おっす! (Ossu!) |
| おっす! (Ossu!) literally meaning "Good morning!" But when it's used as a slang expression, it means "What's up?" or "Hey!" Use this slang expression when you say "hi" to your close friends anytime. It is originally an abbreviation for おはようございます (ohayō gozaimasu), meaning "good morning." Now let's hear an example sentence. おっす！久しぶり！ "What's up? Long time no see!" |
| ちーっす! (Chīssu!) "Hey man!" ちーっす! (Chīssu!) |
| ちーっす! (Chīssu!) literally meaning "Hello!" But when it's used as a slang expression, it means "Hey man!" or "Yo!" Use this slang expression when you say "hi" to your close friends anytime. It is originally an abbreviation for こんにちは (kon'nichiwa), meaning "hello." Now let's hear an example sentence ちーっす。元気？ [SLOW] ちーっす。元気？"Hey man! How's it going?" |
| おつかれ! (Otsukare! ) "See you!" おつかれ! (Otsukare! ) |
| おつかれ! (Otsukare! ) literally meaning "Good work!" But when it's used as a slang expression, it means "See you!" or "How are you doing?" Use this slang expression when you leave work or meet your friends after work, or you're going through a tough situation. It is an abbreviation for お疲れさまです (otsukaresama desu), meaning "How are you?" or お疲れさまでした (otsukaresama deshita), meaning "Good-bye" or "Good job for today." There's also a related slang, おっつー (ottsū), which has the same meaning as おつかれ (otsukare) and is a more informal expression. Now let's hear an example sentence. おつかれ！また明日！ [SLOW] おつかれ！また明日！"See you tomorrow!" |
| あざす! (Azasu!) "Thanks." あざす! (Azasu!) |
| あざす! (Azasu! ) literally meaning "Thanks!" But when it's used as a slang expression, it means "Thanks." or "Cheers!" Use this slang expression when you want to thank someone lightly. It is an abbreviation for ありがとうございます (arigatō gozaimasu), meaning "thank you." Now let's hear an example sentence 昼飯おごってくれるの？あざす！"Do you treat me to lunch? Thanks!" |
| Okay! That’s all for this lesson. |
| またね! (matane!) |
