Hiroko’s top 3 casual Japanese Expressions.
In this lesson,you are going to learn three common expressions that will wow your Japanese friends.
They are super easy and it will take less than 3 minutes.
Okay let’s hear the phrases. First, うそ！ - "No way". Next we have かわいー！- - "That’s so cute".
And we have すごい！ - "Wow"
う、そうそうそ！ means a "lie" but it can be also used as an interjection to mean you are kidding or no way.
So when I am really surprised at what I heard from someone or I think that’s unbelievable, I would often say うそ！ as an expression of surprise.
かわいー！ - "that’s so cute". か、わ、い、い. かわいー！かわいー is an adjective meaning "cute".
When I find something so cute, I say かわい－.
If you make the last E sound a little bit longer, you can express how impressed you are.
Finally we have すごい！ - "wow" or "amazing". す、ご、い. すごい！
すごい is an adjective meaning "terrific" or "amazing".
This adjective can be used as a single word to express how impressed you are to see something.
Okay let’s recap. First we have うそ！ - "no way" or "you are kidding".
Next we have かわいー！ - "that’s so cute"
And we have すごい！ - "that’s amazing, wow".
Now let’s practice. So I am looking for my wallet and I can’t find it.
