So yeah I doubled down

[wakaranaikotoba]

In the future, I’ll talk about Japanese on this channel if you’re interested.

I wanna give some tips and explanations about the language and put what I’ve learned at university to use...in case you’re interested.

I’ll be making a video where I’ll talk more about what I already talked in my post ‘why Japanese is easy‘ (very soon, prob this week)

Also how to study with Manga and stuff like that. シクヨロ〜

Languages that use “ciao” or a similar version descended from Italian as a greeting or an informal goobye

Present in: Portuguese (tchau), Spanish from Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, Colombia, Venezuela, Panama, Costa Rica, Catalan, Sicilian, Maltese, Venetian, Lombard, Romansh, German (tschau), Swiss German, every Slavic language except Polish and Belarussian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Estonian (tsau), Greek, Albanian (qao), Romanian (ceau), Hungarian (csaó), Somali, Amharic, Tigrinya, Malaysian. The Vietnamese “chào” is not related to Italian, so it’s unmarked there. 

Edit: the map only includes those languages that use ‘ciao’ as the most common informal way of greeting/goodbye, not as part of slang, argots or people who use it just to sound cool. For example, in Portuguese, Maltese or Latvian it has surpassed the older forms of saying goodbye in informal situations for all social classes.

My mother...

She knows like 4 words in Japanese (こんにちは、オヤジ、いただきます、コイツ)

But now she is totally in love with this one Japanese song I showed her and asked me to translate it and stuff...she also wants Romaji lyrics so she can sing along.

Warms my heart tbh. It’s so cute.
