We steal words from japanese.

So not only in this lesson, are you going to learn english?

You're going to learn japanese?

Okay so you can thank me twice to get the wings.

Thank you in japanese.

So you can do it.

Thank you arigato.

So this lesson is for anyone who studies likes learns loves or speaks japanese.

Um what we have done is we've stolen your words and we've made them our own so you're thinking, wow, why is this important?

The reason why it's important is because it helps you learn and remember vocabulary because you already know what these words mean.

So now you're gonna understand, oh my God, this word in my language is the same in english.

So you have a bonus.

Okay, um please.

My kanji is not what it used to be.

My brush strokes are just out of shape these days.

My cat turkana lacking.

So if you see any problems with my hair again at Catalina or candy, please do tell me in the comments, but right in in english because I don't want to google translate.

Um I've tried my best to actually write the things in japanese.

Um, if they look funny because they're funny.

Um, but let's go through this.

So these are words that are actually japanese that we use in english.

First one we say karaoke.

Karaoke is when you sing, you make a fool of yourself in front of your friends.

It's great In japanese, they say carry.

Okay, so the pronunciation is different.

It actually means empty orchestra.

Did you know that?

It means there's nobody playing behind you.

So it means empty orchestra.

So karaoke, carrie.

Okay.

Is a japanese word.

Do you like karaoke?

I hate it.

Oh God, Okay.

Okay.

Please never invite me to karaoke unless you're gonna buy me drinks all night because Ronnie's out into that.

Um, this word is a new word, it's huge.

I didn't know his japanese emoji somehow blow to, this means word.

I know this means word and this means letter.

So maybe this means face or appearance.

E emoji is actually a japanese word.

Figure this out.

Face letter.

Face letter.

It means face letter.

There you go.

Emoji.

Putin, you might think Putin is a couch in japan.

Uh, they don't have beds like we do off the floor.

They, most people use what's called a futon futon is basically a soft mattress on the floor called a futon.

I have no idea what this means, means bed on the floor I guess, but or folding bed, Putin is a japanese word, it doesn't mean a couch, it means a bad next one kamikaze.

Now you're thinking, wow, hey, I know this word because it's a very delicious drink.

Mhm, It's a nice cocktail and it's also what the Japanese pilots did in World War II or 1 212 to um win the war to try and win the war.

Kamikaze actually means divine wind.

Kamikaze doesnt mean that their suicide bombers, it means divine wind.

So this, their idea was that they, their God will help them win the war with their wind and didn't, sorry Catanha, this is a sword.

Maybe you know the word, oh, I need to buy a new katana because mine is getting rusty.

Haven't used it that much since my samurai days, which is another japanese ours.

Kitana is a sword.

This is the kanji for it.

Cool.

I don't know how this looks like a sword.

Kind of looks like a square with a little thing in the end.

So Kitana, we say in english sword or katana.

Next one.

This is a terrible thing, tsunami.

Um, a tsunami is something that happens.

It's a natural disaster where the ocean basically just destroys and kills things on the shore.

Um, Japan has been struck with many tsunamis.

Um, but we use this word the same way they do.

It's destructive water that comes and washes away the countryside.

Um, This part means water, it means harbor bonzai bonzai, this is a tree and actually in japanese, it means a plant that's grown in the tray and instead of us saying, wow your plant that's growing in a tray really looks nice.

We just call the bonzai because that's what you guys call it.

So a bonsai is a kind of plant.

Do you have a bonsai tree?

The very small, crazy haiku haiku is a kind of poem.

I remember when I was a wee Ronnie in school, we had to write haiku poems, it's something like five lines, seven lines, five lines.

I don't remember.

It was poetry really short and I was like, damn, this is deep, why doesn't rhyme?

Haiku is a kind of poem that we get from japan.

Are you a haiku writer?

No, I am not five syllables next.

Or gammy.

Origami, this is in my opinion, super cool.

I remember being a kid, grade three, my teacher taught me how to make a frog took a square of paper folded, It made a frog that jumps, wow.

Hello, super cool.

Or gammy means gammy means paper maybe or means folding, I don't remember, but origami is the art of folding paper.

You can make so many cool things out of it.

Um Take it up as your next to be super cool.

Otaku, do you know this part?

Oh taco?

Uh maybe two means someone that likes comic books or read comic books in japanese.

The meetings a little bit different.

It represents a nerd.

So a nerd is someone who stays in their home and and doesn't do anything except for read comic books.

We learn otaku as someone that plays video games or really likes manga, which is japanese um comic book.

So they use it to be like a nerd, someone who stays home and has no social life.

We use it for more of someone who loves video games and loves comic books.

The meeting is a little different.

Don't you think uh since I'm a sense since it means teacher, I think this word became very popular from a movie called karate kid.

Karate is a japanese word to so karate kid.

I'm sure they use the word since, I don't know though.

I never saw the movie but since it means teacher.

Um tycoon, Oh have you heard this word a lot recently?

They're calling the president in America a tycoon.

Now in english a tycoon means someone who has a lot of money like a millionaire.

Um and japanese it means a powerful leader or a big power.

Maybe not power but someone who has a lot of strength.

So yeah the meetings different a little bit different but you get the same idea.

Um Pinkel, okay, if you guys look at this um mm lettering, Okay, there's three different kinds.

This one is called in japanese called candy.

And it's taken from chinese.

This one is japan's own um lettering.

This is called here again to and this means that this didn't originate from china.

These are japanese own words.

And then we have this thing called here in Ghana.

Here.

Ghana.

No kata, kata, sorry cata cata cata kana means that they've taken a word from another language.

For example, Pan pen means bread and they've made it their own language.

So Panko, Panko, our breadcrumbs.

But this isn't originated in japan or china.

They've taken this, this, this word from another language and made it their own.

So japan borrows words from german in France and we borrow words from japan, german, the in France in french and latin.

Well everything um karate, wow.

They say karate.

This means hand.

So we say karate mm and they said cut out there the way it's written, it's the same, it's a martial art where you fight with your hands tofu.

This means soybean.

This crazy candy might mean fermented.

I'm not too sure but I know this means soybeans.

So tofu is fermented soybeans.

We use this word a lot but it is actually a japanese word and the last one zen to the garden.

We think of zen as being very peaceful and wonderful.

So we've actually taken this words n in english to mean calm.

Mhm.

So if you can think about words that you have in your language and you can understand that in english.

We take some of your words from your language.

We take some japanese words and we use them.

You guys know sushi tempura, a lot of food words we use as well.

So it will help you a lot to remember and learn new vocabulary.

This is all for money.
