minus-squareUntouchedWagons@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·2 years agoI feel like putting in some effort to learn greetings and how to address people would help significantly when visiting Japan.
minus-squareFUCKRedditMods@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up8·2 years agoBased on anime I know that if you don’t want to sound like a cringey weeb, the two best ways to greet people are “kisama” and/or “teme”
minus-squareContramuffin@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up11·2 years agoAh yes. In addition, it’s only polite to refer to yourself as “ore,” and a true gentleman will also refer to everyone with the -chan suffix.
minus-squareGabu@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 years agoAlso, adding “o-” before a word makes it more respectful, e.g. “oisogashī”, “ohada”, “omae”.
minus-squarelittlecolt@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoRefer to yourself as “waga” and make sure you use the proper honorifics by ending every sentence with “kono yarou”
minus-squarelittlecolt@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoDon’t forget “an’ta” - be sure to omit the a in the middle. It’s how all the cool and non cringe kids talk.

minus-squareivanafterall@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoMaybe be Japanese before trying it.
