Today's video is gonna be a little more relaxed

今天的視頻會比較輕鬆

I kinda feel like it's going back to my old style of video

有種回到以前的拍攝方式的感覺

If you've been following me since the beginning

如果你從一開始就跟著我的話

You know I used to make really random videos

你會知道我以前很常拍隨性的視頻

about products that I thought were funny or interesting

關於我我在超市看到的

that I just came across at the grocery store

覺得好笑或有趣的產品

and I kinda miss that style of video

我有點想念那種形式的視頻

Today I found something funny at the grocery store

今天 我在超市看到了好玩的東西

It's almost Valentines Day - and Japan is obssesed with giving chocolate on Valentines Day

快到情人節了 日本超瘋在情人節時送巧克力

It's the big thing here - people don't really give flowers or jewellry too much

在這裡是大事 人們不怎麼送花或首飾

It's really just chocolate, and you'll see it everywhere

真的只是巧克力 到處都看得到

The grocery stores are packed with special Valentines chocolate

超市都是滿滿的情人節巧克力

Even in the stations there will be little stands everywhere where you can buy chocolate

就連車站也會有可以買巧克力的小小的攤位

So I was at the grocery store doing some shopping and came across these

我在超市買東西 然後看到了這個

SUKKY POCKY

SUKKY POCKY

And it took me way too long to figure out why the hell they say SUKKY on them

我想了很久才明白它們為什麼寫著 SUKKY

If you speak Japanese you can probably figure it out if you think about it for a little while

如果你會說日語 稍微想一會兒應該就能明白

And at the bottom it says "anata ga suki desu"

下面寫著”anata ga suki desu“

I like you, or I love you

我喜歡你或我愛你的意思

Suki means like, but it means like-like not just regular like when you use it for a person

“suki”是喜歡的意思(戀愛的意義上) 但不是對任何人隨便用的喜歡

So yeah it's SUKI not SUKKY

所以是”SUKI“不是”SUKKY“

But when they write it like that without the Japanese characters and 2 Ks and a Y

但它們不是用日文寫 還用了兩個K和一個Y

I can only read this is SUCKY and I can't get over how funny it is

我只能讀成SUCKY 我覺得這太好笑了

I just love this so much

太喜歡這個了

So yeah, they came out with these special edition Pocky

嗯 它們推出了這個特別版的Pocky

Not only SUKKY POCKY, they came out with like 8 others I think

不只是 SUKKY POCKY 好像還有另外八種

I got them all, I got all the ones they had at the store

我全都買了 超市賣的款式都買了

So I have lots of Pocky to eat now

所以我現在有很多Pocky可以吃

Let me show you the other ones

讓你們看看其他的

I thought these ones were really cute

我覺得這些很可愛

These are Papacky and Mamacky for your Dad and your Mom

是給爸爸和媽媽的Papacky和Mamacky

I thought those were really adorable

我覺得這個很可愛

Too bad my parents aren't in Japan so I could give these to them

可惜的是我父母不在日本 所以無法給他們

But isn't that cute?

但很可愛是不是？

At the bottom it says "papa arigatou" and "mama arigatou"

下面寫著“papa arigatou”和“mama arigatou”

Thanks Dad, Thanks Mom

謝謝爸爸 謝謝媽媽

They also have THANKY

還有Thanky

For those people that you're not in love with but you wanna give them a little treat on Valentines Day

這是給不是你喜歡 但你想在情人節時送點什麼的人

So this is kinda like a casual thing you can give them

這是比較輕鬆的禮物

The bottom says "itsumo sankyuu desu"

下面寫著“itsumo sankyuu desu” （一直以來謝謝你）

Sankyuu is another way to say thank you in Japanese, more casual

“Sankyuu”是日語中比較隨性的說“謝謝”的方式

than arigatou or arigatou gozaimasu, so you can use it with your friends

比“arigatou”或“arigatou gozaimasu”較隨性 可以對朋友說

Here's a very Japanese phrase that I can attempt to teach you guys

這是一個我可以嘗試教你們的日語短句

YOROCKY! If you speak Japanese you can probably figure this one out

Yorocky！如果你會說日語應該猜得出

It says "yoroshiku onegai shimasu"

這寫說“yoroshiku oneigai shimasu”

Which is actually very hard to translate into English

這有點難翻譯成英文

It's not really a phrase that we have

這不是英文有的短語

It has so many different meanings

這有很多不同的意思

For example when you meet someone for the first time you'll say "hajimemashite"

像是初次見面時會說“hajimemashite”

"my name is Sharla, blah blah blah" and then at the end you'll say "yoroshiku onegai shimasu"

”我的名字是Sharla 等等等“然後最後 你會說”yoroshiku onegaishimasu”

Which is kinda like "from here on lets have a good relationship"

有點像“今後我們要保持良好的關係”

or something... it's honestly really hard to translate

之類的 這真的很難翻譯

But it's just something like yeah let's get along, let's have a good relationship

但就是我們要好好相處

Let's work together, or I'm looking forward to working with you

一起努力 期待與你合作

That kinda thing

之類的

You could give this one to your coworker or your friend

可以送給同事或朋友

Anyone really, but I guess it has kinda like a "let's work together" feeling to it

其實任何人都可以 我覺得有種“一起努力吧”的意思

probably would be best for a coworker or something like that

應該比較適合給同事

That's one thing that's very different about Valentines Day here in Japan

然後在日本 情人節有很不一樣的一點

You actually give chocolate to everyone you know

你會給你認識的所有人送巧克力

It's not just your bf or your gf

不只是男朋友或女朋友

Last Valentines Day I was working at a Japanese tech company

上個情人節 我在一家日本科技公司上班

All my coworkers were Japanese people

同事都是日本人

And all the men gave me chocolate, and it was really awkward

所有男性都送我巧克力 那真的很尷尬

Because in Canada we don't have the culture of giving presents to anyone other than your significant other

因為在加拿大 我們沒有送禮物 給伴侶以外的人的習慣

So that was just weird for me

所以對我來說有點奇怪

But in Japan it's expected here

但在日本是必須做的

If you don't get something for your coworkers you're kind of seen as like the office bitch

如果你不買點什麼給你的同事 你會被看成辦公室爛人

So you probably wanna do that

所以大概最好送點什麼

So you can get them something like this so you don't have to spend too much money on them

可以送這種不用花很多錢的小禮物

Actually one that would be really good for your coworkers would be this

適合送個同事的是這個

GIRICKY - another very Japanese thing

Giricky 另一個很日本的東西

At the bottom it says "giri choko desu"

下面寫著 “giri choko desu”

Giri choko means "obligation chocolate"

“Giri choko”是“義禮巧克力”

So literally you're obligated to give this chocolate to them because it's Valentines Day

就是你有義務送巧克力 正因為是情人節

It's not that you have any feelings for them or anything, you just have to give them something... so

不是因為你喜歡對方 而是你有義務要送

"Here you are." I don't know if I would be very thrilled to receive this

所以“給你” 我不知道收到這個 誰會覺得很開心

But I guess it's better than nothing? I dunno, honestly not giving anything might be better

但好過沒有？我不知道 或許什麼都不送會更好

So giri chocolate is usually just like a small cheap chocolate

“義禮巧克力”通常只是一些便宜的巧克力

that you give to someone because you have to, not because you love them

那種你因為必須送而送 而不是因為喜歡而送

On the other hand, honmei choko, or real feeling chocolate

另一方面“本命巧克力” 或真情巧克力

would be something more expensive or fancy

是比較貴和花俏的巧克力

and that would be the type of chocolate you would give to your bf or gf

那種會送給男女朋友的巧克力

Another one they have is GANBACKY

還有一個是 Ganbacky

It says "ganbatte kudasai"

下面寫著“ganbatte kudasai”

Which is, try your best! or good luck!

就是“努力衝刺！”或“加油！”

So you could give this to someone who has exams, or a sports competition or something like that

可以送給有考試或參加比賽的人

I like that one, I think that's cute

我喜歡這個 很可愛

And that would be nice all year round, not just Valentines Day

這全年都很適用 不只是在情人節時

But I'm pretty sure these are just a Valentines Day special

但這應該只是情人節的特別版

So I think they're gonna stop selling them soon

應該很快就不賣了

Those are the Valentines Day special Pocky that I found at the store

所以這些就是我在超市看到的 情人節特別版Pocky

But yeah, this is just my favourite thing ever. Can we just all agree on that?

這是我最喜歡的東西 大家都同意吧？

Please don't ever get rid of these I friggen love these

不要停產這些 我太太太喜歡了

On the back they have this cute little space where you can write a message

盒子後面還有小小的框可以留言

I thought that was adorable

超可愛滴

So yeah that's my Valentine's video for this year guys

所以這就是我今年的情人節視頻

If you're looking for something more useful

如果想要看看更有用的視頻

I made a couple chocolate making videos over the years, I will link them up in the i button

這幾年來我做了幾個製作巧克力的視頻 我會在放上連結

不懂是哪一邊
