@saviour

Not an expert in Japanese, but when the word in written by a non-speaker of the language, it is usually spelled out by the way that person pronounces it using their own language's pronounciations.

^^^ if this makes any sense... lol

Different ways to say thank you in Japanese. The three that I am aware of are:

Domo... a casual 'thanks' ( when asking for where an item is, the salesclerk says, "It's over on aisle 5" )

Arigato... a deeper 'thank you' (domo arigato might also be used) (When asked the salesclerk takes you over to aisle 5 and points it out to you)

Domo arigato gosaimusu... A very heartfelt 'thank you' (When asked the salesclerk takes you to the item, helps you with your selection, goes back to the register for you to pay and then wraps it for you)

The examples given are simplified, but you can get the gist of it I think.

(note: in Japanese words that are spelled out in Roman letters, the 'u' on the end is usually silent...)

each thank you is accompanied by a deeper bow as the thank you increases in depth of feeling.

Anybody may correct me if I am wrong. There may also be other words of thanks that I am not aware of.

Thanks Husky

What about goodbye

From Anime point of view i find sayonara to be very formal or negative or sad in meaning but saw its use in totoro.

I'm sure that there are other ways to say good-bye in Japanese, but the only ones that I know are 'sayonara' and 'oyasuminasai'.

The first is good-bye and the second is good night.

Again, these are subject to correction by Japanese speakers.

To me sayonara feels more like farewell than goodbye

Yes, that's right. I think its use is supposed to be more formal and is used when you do not expect to see the other person again. Generally, it is said that the number of times you say "sayonara" is as often as you say "hajimemashite" ("how do you do?" or "I am pleased to meet you," ) used when meeting someone for the first time.

I like the informal farewells:

"Ja (ne)" : See you!
"Mata (ne)" : Later! (lit. See you later)
"Mata ashita" : (lit. see you tomorrow)
"Mata raishuu" : (lit. see you next week)
"Bai-bai": (is cute and mostly used by girls)
"Saki in iku/ikimasu (informal/formal)": I'll be going first (ahead of you).

I was also thinking, if UO kills the spam above, we might lose this interesting thread, so we might want to discuss the Japanese language elsewhere.

Its also not a Ghibli thread.

OK, to save this conversation, I copied all the pertinent posts and started a new thread in General Discussions under 'Japanese Language'...
