| Jessi: If you take trains in Japan, you may be surprised to find that a lot of passengers sleep on trains - no matter what time it is, and regardless of age, gender... you'll always see people sleeping. Tomoyuki said it's probably because trains are that safe in Japan. |
| All right, let's move on to the vocab. |
| VOCAB LIST |
| Jessi: Let's take a look at the vocabulary for this lesson. |
| The first word is: |
| Tomoyuki: ็ต้ป [natural native speed] |

| Jessi: Next word is |

| Tomoyuki: ็ตๆฅ [slowly - broken down by syllable]ใ็ตๆฅ [natural native speed] |
| VOCAB AND PHRASE USAGE |
| Jessi: Let's take a closer look at the usage of some of the words and phrases from this lesson.ใใขใฆใญใใใใ้กใใใพใใ |
| Tomoyuki: ็ต้ป |
| Jessi: โ็ต้ปโ means "the last train" |
| The first Kanji "็ต(ใใ ใ)" means "end" "last" or "finish." And the second Kanji "้ป" means ้ป่ป train. |
| Tomoyuki:ใ็ต้ปใใฏใๆๅพใฎ้ป่ปใใ็ตใใใฎ้ป่ปใใจใใๆๅณใงใใญใ |
| Jessi: Be careful it's not "ใใ ใงใ" but it's โใใ ใใงใโ. You have to prolong the โใโ sound. |
| Tomoyuki: Right. Repeat after me.ใ็ต้ป(ใใ ใใงใ)ใ(wait for 5 sec.) |
| Jessi: In this lesson, there are 2 more words that start with the kanji ็ต(ใใ ใ). |
| Tomoyuki: ใใใงใใญใ็ต็น and ็ตๆฅ. |
| Jessi: The first one, ็ต็น, literally means "the last point" and it refers to "the last stop (for a bus or train)" |
| Tomoyuki: ใฏใใ็ต็น "the last stop." |
| ใงใใ็ตๆฅใฏใกใใฃใจๆๅณใ้ใใพใใใไธๆฅไธญใใๆใใๅคใพใงใใจใใๆๅณใงใใ |
| Jessi: And โ็ตๆฅโ basically means "from morning to night" or "all day long." |
| Tomoyuki: ไพใใฐใใ็ตๆฅ็ฆ็ ใใฏใไธๆฅไธญ็ฆ็ ใใไธๆฅไธญใฟใใณใฏใใกใงใใใจใใๆๅณใงใใญใ |
| Jessi: Right.The expression โ็ตๆฅ็ฆ็ โ is a combination of ็ตๆฅ "all day long" and ็ฆ็ "no smoking", so this means "smoking is prohibited at all times." |
| Tomoyuki: ใใใฏใ้ง ใ็ฉบๆธฏใงใใ่ใใพใใญใYou'll hear this expression at stations or airports. |
| Jessi: OK. Listeners. Time for a quiz! What is "the last train" in Japanese. |
| Tomoyuki: (wait for 5 sec)ใ"The last train" is ็ต้ป. |
| Jessi: Next, say "the last stop" in Japanese. |
| Tomoyuki: (wait for 5 sec)"The last stop" is ็ต็น. |
| Jessi: And "all day long" in Japanese is? |
| Tomoyuki: (wait for 5 sec.) "All day long" is ็ตๆฅ. |
| Jessi: How did you do, did you get them all right? OK, on to the grammar. |
Lesson focus |
|---|
| Jessi: The focus of this lesson is listening to an announcement at a train station. |
| In this grammar section, you'll learn how to use the humble verb โใพใใโ. |
| Tomoyuki: Right. In the dialogue, the announcement said... |
| ้ใใชใ๏ผ็ช็ทใซ้ป่ปใใพใใใพใใ |
| Jessi: "A train will be arriving shortly on track number 1." |
| Tomoyuki: ใใฎใใพใใใพใใใใใใฎใฌใในใณใฎใใคใณใใงใใ |
| ใใพใใใพใใใฏใใพใใใใฎ [ใพใ form]ใงใใ |
| Jessi: And โใพใใ" is the humble form of both the verb ่กใ "to go" AND kuru "to come." Let's show you with some examples. Tomoyuki, say "I'm going to ลsaka tomorrow." |
| Tomoyuki: ๆๆฅ(ใใใ)ใๅคง้ชใซ่กใใพใใ |
| Jessi: This is a formal sentence. But if you want to say it more formally, replace โ่กใใพใโ with โใพใใใพใโ. |
| Tomoyuki: ๆๆฅใๅคง้ชใซใพใใใพใใ |
| Jessi: OK. Listeners, listen and repeat after Tomoyuki."I'm going to ลsaka tomorrow." |
| Tomoyuki: ๆๆฅใๅคง้ชใซใพใใใพใใ |
| Jessi: (wait for 5 sec).Great. Let's do one more... How do you say "I come back from ลsaka the day after tomorrow"? |
| Tomoyuki: ใใใฃใฆใๅคง้ชใใๅธฐใฃใฆๆฅใพใใ |
| Jessi: ใใใฃใฆ(Jessi: the day after tomorrow) ๅคง้ชใใ (Jessi: from Osaka) ๅธฐใฃใฆใใพใ (Jessi: will return or will come back). |
| Now listeners, rephrase this sentence to make it even more formal. |
| Tomoyuki: Here's a hint. You have to replace โๆฅใพใโ with โใพใใใพใโ. |
| Jessi: (wait for 5 sec.) All right.If you said... |
| Tomoyuki: ใใใฃใฆใๅคง้ชใใๅธฐใฃใฆใพใใใพใใ |
| Jessi: Then, ใใใงใใพใใ๏ผGood job! So, Tomoyuki, can we hear a sentence from the dialogue again? |
| Tomoyuki: ใฏใใ้ใใชใ๏ผ็ช็ทใซ้ป่ปใใพใใใพใใ |
| Jessi: Let's break this sentence down. |
| Tomoyuki: ้ใใชใ(Jessi: shortly)๏ผ็ช็ทใซ(Jessi: to track number 1) ้ป่ปใ( Jessi: train plus particle โใโ) ใพใใใพใ (Jessi: come or will come). |
| Jessi: Say that sentence again? |
| Tomoyuki: ้ใใชใ๏ผ็ช็ทใซ้ป่ปใใพใใใพใใ |
| Jessi:ใ"A train will be arriving shortly on track number 1." |
| Now, you know that humble language should be used to describe actions or states of the speaker and speaker's in-group. However, โใพใใใพใโ is also used when describing a situation in an extra formal way. |
| Tomoyuki: ใ้ป่ปใใพใใใพใใใฏใ้ง ใงใใ่ใใพใใใญใYou hear this โ้ป่ปใใพใใใพใโ a lot at train stations. |
| ใงใฏใใใไธๅบฆใใขใใฆใณในใ่ใใฆใฟใพใใใใ |
| Jessi: Now let's listen to the announcement part and see if you can understand better now. |

| Jessi: Yes. There are some tough vocab words in the dialogue, so be sure to check this lesson's PDF to check the meaning! |
