So we've been in an international marriage for 5.5 years, together for 7, are living in Japan, and speak to each other in both Japanese and English (although Jun's English is WAY BETTER than my Japanese). There are a lot of things we've adjusted to when it comes to cultural differences, but there are some things we just haven't. And some of these things we maybe still argue about. Okay some of these things we definitely still argue about.

I'm sure you two can agree that Tidus and Yuna's famous "laughing" scene in Final Fantasy 10 is equally cringe-worthy in both English and Japanese.
Oh god, that laughing scene. Japanese Tidus sounds like a seagull being sat on.
quixotic sonnet A SEAGULL HAHA.
That is the PERFECT analogy, but now I'll never be able to un-think that image! hahaha

FF10 voice acting in english was just terrible. I like the game, but geez. I didn't have as much of a problem with the japanese version but there were a ton of words I didn't know so I cannot judge as well.

ThePotatoUnicorn lol I’m just like jun i say everything calmly while my mom is really well not calm.
I think jun teaches everyone a good lesson always be calm never mad or frustrated
“What’s wrong with you”, when I learn this phrase in school, the textbook says it means “checking if someone is ok, and this is to show your concern about the person”. Well, when I said this to my American friend one day years later, I received a mean face......can’t forget.
Haha. Aww that is cute but sad 😭😜
"What's wrong with you?" implies that the person is crazy. The question "Why would you do that?" is usually also implied. Hmmm... Think of it as adding "with you" implies that the other person is not like you, you can't understand them and are demanding an explanation. When you ask "what's wrong?" the person is like you and you have a general understanding of the problem, but need specifics to help or sympathize.
@@adde9506 That was very well explained , thanks!
You can say it to british people, we know what you mean 😊✌🏼
Even my fiance who speaks only English messed this up once. It's technically right, but connotation is just where it goes wrong.
If you say it with the right emotion, Americans might understand that you don't mean it as an insult but that's pretty difficult.
as an asian guy i can confirm :
when we are being cute to our partner, we dramatized the word like "i am sorryyyy :( :("
but when we are really sorry for what we did, we put serious face and say "i am sorry" with strong dedication like we are ready to whatever punishment you will befall us.
More like americans are way to emotional right? I feel like serious calm apologies are more sincere because it shows you were able to rationally think about your actions and truly acknowledged your mistake
@@prudence8808 Haha. Just cultural differences as what is perceived as sincere. 😌 I can see how Americans would seem too emotional and how Japanese may be seen as emotionless, it's all about cultural perception. The best we can do is work to understand the feeling behind the apology so we can communicate better between cultures which is what I think Rachel and Jun do very well! ❤️
@@prudence8808 As an American we are too emotional in comparison lol 😂 but while I can tell Jun is sincere now if I was angry I could misinterpret it as him being passive aggressive. The tone he is using isn’t the tone we use to sincerely apologize, it’s more done when you don’t mean it (like when your mom forces you to apologize when you’re a kid). A sincere tone for English (in America any way) has more inflection and as Rachel requests a bit more emotion. Monotone is considered to be rude, judgmental, or condescending here. It’s the tone teenagers use the most when they want to irritate their parents.
I’m not to emotional, fight me
a lot of people say I have no emotion and just have it when im really sad/happy over something
basically americans being extra and japanese being chill for 8 minutes straight
To be fair, as a cashier or other service jobs I've always enforced fairness when someone tries to walk all over other clients like that. It's not extra to refuse to accept rules being broken, otherwise why bother lining up at all and not just mob the counter? These social rules exist for a reason, to avoid drama not make more.
Americans are generally extra,that's normal for them but not for a Japanese or maybe some other parts of the world too
I find it hot or cute? That Jun is cool and Rachel is funny and I also thought she was Asian....at first and then I thought is that red head real?! I was like nah I can see black hair but then Jun mentioned that she’s American AND SHES A REAL RED HEAD!! BOI THAT IS PROBALY THE MOST HOTTEST COMBO EVER! I NEVER IMAGINED THE DAY WOULD COME! A JAPANESE BOI AND ONE HOT REDHEAD their both hot *no homo jun it’s just fair to say that cause your wife isn’t the only hot one.....if you know what I mean* 😏😏😏😏 by that I meant jun is so frigging Ho- -Israel country cube has left the chat-
As a Swede in America, I don’t think any description covers the difference better than “extra”
Israel Country Cube boi chill
I don't read Jun's apologies as emotionless, I read them as full of terror
@@thomasnguyen9947 dude,, no. first of all, its polite to give emotionless apologies in japan, tHEY LITERALLY SAID THAT IN THE VIDEO- second, im pretty sure youre the only one who does that

it has the same energy as

In Brasil, most specifically in Rio, no One would argue with a Guy who’s cut in line. Not because we’re not trying to make a scene, but because we don’t wanna get stabbed or shot.
I think in the US women tend to be more vocal about things like line cutting because if you're a man you're expected to "back things up". I always just assume if someone cuts they're just looking for a confrontation.
Não só no Rio, parça. Barato tá loco em todo lugar.

Being an asian, i also agree that jun’s apologise sounds sincere 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Same lol
I didn't think it was insincere, but I would expect more emotion. I find that quite interesting how it can sound different depending on what culture one grew up with.
I’m black and I don’t show emotion lol
Yeah! It’s weird how some people take emotion differently! I thought it was pretty sincere! In my opinion, he sounded serious like “I’m sorry” rather than “IM sO SORRYY!!”

Jun: put your brain in 🍚
"What´s wrong with you?" damn languages can be cruel
I know right...and unforgiving too. 😅
It reminds me of some languages that have multiple words for "why". If I recall correctly, both Russian and Japanese do this.
"Why are you crying?" gets dicey if you use the wrong method, as one implies information about the situation while the other implies intent. So, "Why are you crying?" as in 'what happened to make you cry?' versus, 'for what purpose are you crying?', the latter being somewhat... accusational.
When you ask "What's wrong 'with you'?" it sounds accusational, depending on the context, intonation, affect, etc. At it's core, "What's wrong?" can only reference the situational wrongness, while 'with you' can mean all kinds of things, mostly negative because it puts the attention to 'you' as the subject of the question, rather than (or in tandem with) the problem, and then it just gets all ugly from there. If 'with' had separate words for 'in your space' and 'in you personally', it'd probably be less a thing. (One of the benefits of complex case systems.)
@@SongOfChaos1 in Russian we have two words that are constantly messed up by the learners: "pochemu" which means "why", and "zachem" which means "for what purpose?" And we also have "dorogoy" which means "dear" and "expensive" at the same time😁. That's why we can say "dear car" instead of "expensive car".
She just seems very excentric and extroverted and he is shy and quiet. Even if they were the same culture they probably wouldn't understand each other haha
Opposites attract
@@supereggtartersauce6464 yep
yup i was just thinking these are alot of thing my introverted bf does and were bother americans

Very true. I’m American and I’m very much like Jun with the customer service or cutting in line thing. I get so embarrassed when people I’m with confront people over what I consider small. I’ve never ever sent food back or called someone out for cutting in line.
Smart man. "I'm sorry " is always the correct response.
I love how chill Jun is
That's a sign of weakness
You can also say, “Forgive me.” If you want to be extra.
TheCastle357 lmao kids tryna act "manly" but behind screen they're weak

That was A+ skit writing right there.
Rachel: “Are you being passive aggressive with me?”
Jun: “I’m not sure what that means.”
Rachel’s Mind: *commencing count down sequence*
Jun: *i m s o r r y*
I always come back to this video because it really does show a American Japanese language learner the way Japanese people do emote. The way Jun says I’m sorry is so full of respect, and that’s how they show their sincerity. English is such a nuance language and honestly you could consider it to be quite tonal. We kind of express emotions over the top. We heavily rely on body language as well to express our feelings. In Japanese you rely on your words, because each word has a deep and strong meaning and is dependent on situation.
Jun: Gomenasai
Translation: please don't kill me
Epic translation 😂
🤣
No problem
I thought it was I’m sorry. I guess captions suck.

My wife is Japanese, and we always communicate in Japanese because that’s how we started our relationship. But it’s frustrating for me because I feel like I’m at a disadvantage in arguments. Sometimes I have really good points I want to make, but I can’t adequately explain them. But on the plus side, it forces me to think before speaking instead of blurting out emotional retorts, so our arguments rarely get out of control.
the struggle for non-confrontational people is real
The real problem is when "non-confrontational people" chastise others for not being a doormat. I'm not going to eat an entrée I didn't order just because you would :)
schmoyoho what the hell is schmoyoho doing here?
John Doe true--i don't think either should chastise the other type, they're both livin their lives

"They suppose to wear masks. He coughed in my face". Wow still relevant and scary.
As a half japanese person his sorry in the beginning sounds very sincere to me😂
🤣😂😂OMG how!!!!?
1:08 that's a sincere "I'm sorry", as is 1:30
I’m Indian and thought that seemed genuine as well. I can see his sincerity through the blank face haha 😂
I feel like the quiet unemotional verbal apology is sincere, but the flat out unblinking stare right into your eyes is aggressive, so if someone apologized to me like that, I'd be wondering what the heck was going on.
EDIT: I just went back and watched it again, and on second viewing, I think the stare is more of a "deer caught in the headlights" look, so it sort of carries the emotion of the American "I'm SOOOO sorry!!" without actually using the words. 😂
Who finds it satisfying when he talks in Japanese?

It’s very calming to me,

NickieB lol for real tho
I don't get it. It's practically toneless yet so ridiculously polite and sincere.
NickieB This comment made me crack the fuck up LOL
what? Really?? It sounded sooooo deadpan and just... toneless XDXD Wow
Dan Kayur It's all about choosing the right type of apology. Even if it's toneless in delivery, the fact that he's giving a very long and involved apology makes it very polite. Delivering it in an effective context is where you get sincerity from; in front of a crowd at the incident doesn't show sincerity, but privately with no one else watching is much more sincere.
If we judged apologies by delivery, it would mean that we'd have no leniency against kids or people who are learning the customs we grew up with. It'd be too inflexible, though some people do it anyways because they're more judgmental.
Actually laughed out loud at the cat food secret spice scene. The use of "what's wrong with you" was so clever and cute.

"Are you being passive-aggressive with me?"
"...I don't know what that means."
*Death stare*
*Proceeds to apologize in Japanese.*
I'm dead XD
Passive-aggressive behavior is described as having hostility against someone but rather than confronting the person, you avoid openly expressing your negative feelings. And as a result, you keep doing subtle things that might annoy the other party greatly.
For example: avoiding a person, giving sarcastic comments, pouting, backhanded compliments, insulting a person while smiling, refusal to do something without a solid reason, refusal to acknowledge any problems, etc.
Body language, diction and intonation will change from culture to culture but I think in most cases most men across the world when it comes to apologizing to girls they try to be sincere but appear as cold, not genuine and lazy about it.
Loteraly this is the best video ever. I have lost count of how many tomes i have watched it.
Jun: I don't know what that word means...
Rachel: *death stare*
Jun: *monotone* I'm sorry.
This part made me laugh so much because he brought back the (seemingly not) genuine I'm sorry xD
Laura my favorite part too lmao
At least he recognizes the Death Stare.
I fell out laughing at that as well! (^O^)
Laura yes this cracked me up too!
I laughed so hard I accidentally pushed over the folded laundry pile OTL
Wait "what's wrong with you?" and "what's wrong" has different mean and use in different situations?? Ok I learned something new today lol
One implies a fundamental issue.
When you say "with you" it ties the issue with you as opposed to just the current situation.
As an american, I know the difference is that "what's wrong with you" means that you're the problem, and "what's wrong" means something isn't right and the person can help you.
Knowing that Jun is from another culture though means he is probably being sincere with his question. Us Americans are a bit too cutthroat at times 😅
"What's wrong with you?"
Is like
"What's your issue?"
Problem = you
Kind of like if a player doesn't work. It has an issue.
"What's wrong?"
Is like
"What is the issue?"
Problem = ???
It's not connected with you
That was really interesting! You two are such an adorable couple🥰

somedays i wonder if i just exercise my freedom of speech and let everything out in utter disregard without any due consideration of the others around me would i fit in better. LOL
@@shadowmod3 .... lol! I love your comment.
@@Five_tailed_fox Because show must go on.
You have a beautiful family! God bless
I am Canadian and my girlfriend is Korean. Idioms and expressions confuse, anger, or upset her, even if I am trying to be sincere. The "what's wrong with you" is the tip of my iceberg.
"He just cut in line"
"Uh huh, yeah?" *Studies bottle*

I'm from the west and i hate people who cut in line in china, this happened at the world expo. gawd made me sick to the stomach (cuz its my motherland so to speak)
Seriously? I went “EHHHHHH!” In the loudest voice ever and I make sure the entire store heard me. Mainly because I am tiny and look like a child. So everyone now know this huge dude just bullied and cut in front of a kid. Ultimate embarrassment.
That's a great "what's wrong" and "what is wrong with you" comparison.
'm American. I took it to mean ok honey tell me more about how you are feeling. Elaborate further so that maybe I can help you.
This is so funny because I'm not a native English speaker so like Jun, I thought that's the correct way to say it (I even thought it's more polite/formal). Believe me, back then the English courses I took, didn't teach the subtle differences of those types of phrases. I learned that saying that would only make your partner even angrier LOL even though I really wanted to know what happened to him, if something bad happened :D
@@tracys169 what's wrong with you is okay for any politeness. the biggest problem would be the tone, and since many people are using the phrase "what's wrong with you" to address someone of being annoying or stupid.
now read it loud when it's capitalized...
"what's wrong with YOU?"
"WHAT'S wrong with you?"
"what's WRONG with you?"
"what's wrong WITH you?"
if you know which one is the polite one, then you're good to go
you guys are great, being able to stay together and work it out. amazing.
I can relate to point 2 the most! About speaking up. My husband is also Japanese though he grew up in the States most of his life. No language barrier there. But he reacts exactly like Jun when it comes to speaking up when people jump the line or if it's the wrong order, etc. He'd rather try to look for things himself even when he can't find it instead of asking the staff too. But the funny thing is, he only does that when he's in Japan. But when he's in the States, he will speak up (maybe except telling people not to jump the line). And when I tell him to speak up in Japan, he'd give the exact same reasons as Jun. On the other hand, in the States, he'd do exactly what Rachel would do.
Jun : *eats snack*
Rachel : *comes in*
*Stares intensely*
