E-Language Learning Course No. 29

Learning material Q&A100

Hello Listener,

I hope you are making your learning language a wonderful journey.

Today is Q&A about Japanese.

Why do Japanese people say "Sumimasen(I'm sorry.)" when they say "Arigato(Thank you.)"?

"Sumimasen" implies an apology. It can also be used to express gratitude. What we mean is our appreciation and apology for the time and effort spent in doing something for us. In some cases, it can have more than one meaning.

Why do Japanese pedestrians obey the traffic lights even when there are no cars around?

Japanese people think it is good to obey the rules. It is said to be because they value the maintenance of social order. However, there are people who cross the street even when there is a red light.

I've heard that many Japanese people don't have any religion, is it true?

One is Shinto and the other is Buddhism. It is true that not many people go to shrines and temples every week, but that does not mean that they are not religious. Many people go to visit shrines and temples on New Year's Day. This may be especially true among young people.

KEY: Japan has a fascinating and multifaceted culture. It is steeped in the deepest of traditions dating back thousands of years.
