  • ASMR Japanese Trigger Words: A Xhosa South African's Tribute to Japanese Culture
    Welcome to my ASMR channel! I'm thrilled to share a unique and personal video featuring soothing Japanese trigger words. As a Xhosa South African, I had the privilege of living in Japan for several years, where I fell in love with the rich culture and beautiful language. In this video, you'll experience a calming array of Japanese words and phrases designed to relax and comfort you. Each word is spoken with love and respect, reflecting my deep appreciation for Japan's heritage. Join me on this cultural journey and let the gentle sounds of Japanese trigger words guide you to a state of tranquility. Enjoy and relax! 🌸✨

      Yeah I love it, it's sad that if a white person did that americans would lose their sht about cultural appropriation. I love her thumbnail for this video so much and I wish more people were open to cross-culture 🤩

    also: about sayounara - sayounara is actually the proper way to say goodbye to someone in a formal setting (for example, someone you met for the first time, or someone who is above you.) but among work colleagues or friends it would carry that meaning of not seeing each other again for a long time. otsukaresama deshita is most common in business settings, and mata ne / ja ne is the most casual way to say it :)

    日本語を紹介していただき、ありがとうございます。
    最後の"おつかれさま" ( otsu kare sama )は
    You must be tired! Take a good rest.
    って意味です。
    "see you later"の意味も含めて、職場やイベントが終わった後などで使います。
    "さようなら" ( sayou nara )は
    " see you later " の意味に近いので大丈夫です。
    小学校では毎日、帰る時に
    せんせい さようなら、みなさん さようなら
    ってあいさつしてます
    日本語には"goodbye"のような長い別れのあいさつはないのです😊
    日本より愛を込めて❤

    おはよう! I'm not a fluent Japanese speaker by any means, but I've taken several years of it at the university level. From what I understand so far, 「お疲れ様です」(otsukaresamadesu) is how you'd say goodbye in a workplace context, which makes sense as you were in a lab with the other Japanese folk. It translates, roughly, to "thank you for your hard work." If I were saying goodbye to my Japanese friends outside of work I'd say 「じゃあ、またね」(jaa, matane) which means "until next time."
    I've never heard anyone say さようなら (sayounara) to me, so I can't say for sure, but it does sound like the sort of word Japanese learners pick up from anime that sound strange outside of it. In the same way that people who watch anime think the Japanese word for friend is 中間 (nakama), because that's what they say in anime like Fairy Tail, but it implies that you and the speaker have gone on a long adventure/journey together. Sayounara has that same "long journey I must walk into the middle distance" vibe. Though that's just my non-fluent opinion!

    I was wondering if knowing Zulu and Xhosa helped with learning Japanese?
    I am wondering because to my latin speaking ear, some sounds sound similar.

    • @africanxhosaasmr
      @africanxhosaasmr  Před 17 dny +46

      Yes, very much. While the words themselves aren't similar, the way of speaking is. For example, Chinese is quite different, but I think it might be easier for a Venda speaker to learn Chinese and a Xhosa speaker to learn Japanese. This is because Venda has a more aspirated quality, while Xhosa is more enunciated, similar to Japanese. I hope that makes sense. 😃

    Not an expert but yes I've also heard that Sayonara is more of a final goodbye, maybe kind of like Adieu in french.

    Otsukaresama desu is just a generic phrase for the end of any sort of formal or business event. If you were saying bye to a friend you would say “Jya mata ne” Jya meaning well then or alright and mata ne meaning see you later.

    I will never forget the time a white girl who learned all her Japanese from anime told me that "y/n desu ka" wasn't the correct way to introduce yourself because you'd basically be saying "y/n is" to which I said, "yeah, and your point is? It ain't English, honey, it ain't built the same way and pronouns are for people like your boss" and she got very, very mad about this and continued to insist I was wrong.
    My half Japanese mother was born there and lived there until she was eight and I'm pretty sure that being raised by her and my grandmother makes me infinitely more qualified than a girl named Melissa... But go off, Melissa, and tell me and this highly educated and well traveled woman how wrong we are.
