Kumori Posted October 22, 2005 Posted October 22, 2005 Right now I am a white belt , I have just started taking Goju Ryu 3 weeks ago. Anyways , my sensei (sp?) said that I should know a few phrases before I reach blue belt. I know its a long way to go ,but I want to know them now.I need to know how to say " Please Teach me " and " Thank you for teaching me " Thank you
trustkid1 Posted October 22, 2005 Posted October 22, 2005 Please Teach me: "onegaishimas"Thank you for teaching me Sensei: "arigatoh gozaimashita Sensei"That's how I learn it. Maybe somebody have another variation.
feels Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 It's very strange to see how much Japanese I learned in a year and a half from karate. We all have to learn the name of different body parts, the name of techniques, and common courtesy phrases. For hi, bye, yes, thank you, and good, we just say osu, though.

feels Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 isn't punch=zuki? and isn't thank you=domo arigato? That's how it is at my dojo.Domo is casual.Arigato is proper.Together, it is formal.Tsuki usually refers to punching, but it generally means strike.

That's how it is at my dojo.Domo is casual.Arigato is proper.Together, it is formal.Tsuki usually refers to punching, but it generally means strike.In my two years living in Japan, I never once heard anyone in Nagoya say "Domo arigatou." More frequently heard were:Arigatou neArigatou gozaimashitaand other phrases like gomendousama deshitaThe Sumo wrestlers say "Gosan desu." 24FightingChickenshttp://www.24fightingchickens.com
