| INTRODUCTION |
| Eric: Must-Know Japanese Social Media Phrases Season 1. Lesson 17 - At the Local Market. |
| Eric: Hi everyone, I'm Eric. |
| Risa: And I'm Risa. |
| Eric: In this lesson, you'll learn how to post and leave comments in Japanese about an unusual thing found at a local market. 守 (Mamoru) finds an unusual item at a local market, posts an image of it, and leaves this comment: |
| Risa: 何だこりゃ。初めて見た。 (Nan da korya. Hajimete mita.) |
| Eric: Meaning - "What the hell? Never seen this before." Listen to a reading of the post and the comments that follow. |

| Eric: Then comes the phrase - "Never seen this before..." |
| Risa: 初めて見た。 (Hajimete mita.) |
| Eric: It's a simple and short expression to use when you find something you have never seen. Listen again- "Never seen this before." is... |
| Risa: (SLOW) 初めて見た。 (Hajimete mita.) (REGULAR) 初めて見た。 (Hajimete mita.) |
| Eric: All together, "What the hell? Never seen this before." |
| Risa: 何だこりゃ。初めて見た。 (Nan da korya. Hajimete mita.) |
