25. Happy Birthday, fellow January baby!

[arcane1]

26. *Toast!!*

[AsahinaKimi]

30. *kampai!*

doumo!

[arcane1]

33. Today at work, they started an informal class in Japanese

I've learned neither of those expressions yet

[AsahinaKimi]

37. When you say

"kampai!" its like saying Cheers, or a drink toast. Hope you do well. We can say

Gambarimasu! or Gambare,. do you're best!!

[arcane1]

38. They taught us "Yoroshiku onegai shimasu" today. Is that similar?

If I recall correctly, it was described as a polite way for your boss to ask you to do something, and do it well

[AsahinaKimi]

[arcane1]

45. Ooh, thanks for this! Apparently I signed up for long-term classes

And I'll need all the help I can get!

Fortunately, I was once familiar with Mandarin so I do get a little ahead of the class with words like "no" and "wa" and the suffix "ke"

[betsuni]

44. Ganbarimasu is used when you're referring to yourself doing your best.

Ganbatte kudasai or more informally gambare when you're urging others to do their best. I feel weird saying this, I'm not Japanese. Oh well.

[AsahinaKimi]

46. You are correct...

I didn't make that clear. Thanks.

[pinboy3niner]
