The Japanese language has unique expressions that are difficult to translate into English, such as “yoroshiku onegai shi masu” and “otsukare sama.” In addition, there are many expressions in Japanese that reflect the spirit of the Japanese people. Many of them were born out of a sincere consideration for others. That is why there are many ambiguous expressions that avoid stating things directly. For example, when someone asks, “Are you happy?” we might answer, “To a certain extent,” out of consideration for the possibility that the other person may not be so happy. If you don’t want to actually invite someone round, but wish to maintain a good relationship with them, you can say something like, “Please come visit us sometime.” The person you are talking to will understand your intentions and might answer, “Thank you. I’ll see you soon.” In Japanese, it is also common to use such expressions to keep the peace. In Japanese, there are some phrases that are not meant to be taken literally, and there are also some corresponding replies to them. This may be difficult to understand for many foreign language speakers who think of language as a tool for communication. However, this style of conversation is, so to speak, a matter of etiquette. Conversation in Japanese involves a heart-to-heart exchange that allows us to experience spiritual enrichment.
