POST CONVERSATION BANTER
Eric: So Lori got slammed with a ¥13600 bill.
Naomi: Right. 一万 (ichi-man)
Eric: 10,000.
Naomi: 三千 (san-zen)
Eric: 3000.
Naomi: 六百 (roppyaku)
Eric: 600.
Naomi: 円 (en)
Eric: Yen.
Naomi: 13600円 (ichi-man san-zen roppyaku-en)
Eric: ¥13600. And how much was the change?
Naomi: おつりは六千 (o-tsuri wa roku-sen)
Eric: 6000.
Naomi: 四百 (yon-hyaku)
Eric: 400.
Naomi: 円 (en)
Eric: Yen.
Naomi: 6400円 (roku-sen yon-hyaku-en)
Eric: ¥6400. So that means she must have paid ¥20,000 and received ¥6400 as change.
Naomi: 高いですね。(Takai desu ne.) If you don’t have insurance, it’s going to cost you much more than it should.
Eric: Hey you are right about that.
Naomi: エリックさんは保険ありますか。(Erikku-san wa hoken arimasu ka.) Do you have insurance, health insurance in Japan?
Eric: ありますよ。もちろん。(Arimasu yo. Mochiron.) Yes I do but I told my story a couple of episodes back about – I didn’t know I was not enrolled in insurance for like about half a year and thank goodness, nothing happened within that span but if it did, I would have been slammed as hard as Lori did.
Naomi: ねぇ。(Nee.)
Eric: Yeah.
Naomi: 次は単語です。(Tsugi wa tango desu.)
Eric: On to the vocabulary.

Naomi: 会計 (kaikei)

Eric: The next word is
Naomi: 領収書 (ryōshūsho)
Eric: Receipt.

Eric: The next word is

Naomi: お大事に (o-daiji ni)
Eric: Take care of yourself, get well soon.
Naomi: (slow) おだいじに (o-daiji ni) (natural speed) お大事に (o-daiji ni)
VOCAB AND PHRASE USAGE
Eric: So what’s the first word we are going to look at?
Naomi: 領収書 (ryōshūsho)
Eric: A receipt. 領収 (ryōshū) is a fancy way of saying to receive money.
Naomi: Fancy way?
Eric: Yeah, right. You don’t usually say that, right? Never in that, not even once but yeah it means to receive money and 書 (sho) means a document. So Naomi-sensei, how do you ask for the receipt?
Naomi: 領収書、お願いします (ryōshūsho, onegai shimasu) or 領収書ください (ryōshūsho kudasai).
Eric: And note that 領収書 (ryōshūsho) usually refers to an official accountable receipt on which the payer and the recipient’s names are written. And they are generally leased by companies for accounting purposes. So Naomi-sensei, what do you call the regular receipts that we get every day at you know the regular store and restaurants and stuff?
Naomi: レシート (reshīto)
Eric: レシート (reshīto), it’s the katakana version of the word receipt.
Naomi: レシート (reshīto)
Eric: All right, so our next word is
Naomi: 釣り (tsuri)
Eric: Change. The change you receive when you pay more than the total. So the honorific prefix お (o) usually precedes 釣り (tsuri). What was the sentence in the dialogue?
Naomi: はい。お釣り、6400円と領収書です。(Hai. O-tsuri, roku-sen yon-hyaku-en to ryōshūsho desu.)
Eric: Okay, let’s break it down.
Naomi: はい (hai)
Eric: Yes or in this case, here you go.
Naomi: お釣り (o-tsuri)
Eric: Change.
Naomi: 6400円 (roku-sen yon-hyaku-en)
Eric: ¥6400.
Naomi: と (to)
Eric: And.
Naomi: 領収書 (ryōshūsho)
Eric: Receipt.
Naomi: です (desu)
Eric: The copula.
Naomi: はい。お釣り、6400円と領収書です。(Hai. O-tsuri, roku-sen yon-hyaku-en to ryōshūsho desu.)
Eric: Here is your change ¥6400. And next we have a phrase.
Naomi: お大事に (o-daiji ni), take care of yourself.
Eric: お大事に (o-daiji ni) is a common phrase which is used to people who are sick or suffering some kind of health problem. It’s most similar to the English phrase get well soon.
Naomi: This phrase お大事に (o-daiji ni) cannot be used to healthy people just like get well soon and unlike the English take care.
Eric: Which means Naomi-sensei, that when people say bye, at least in English, usually you might say bye and take care or you might just say take care, right? You want someone to take care of themselves but you can’t say お大事に (o-daiji ni) as a goodbye greeting, right?
Naomi: No.
Eric: They have to be suffering from something.
Naomi: そうです。では、次は文法です。(Sō desu. Dewa, tsugi wa bunpō desu.)
Eric: On to the grammar.

Naomi: 九万五千円。(Kyū-man go-sen-en.)
