Japanese Translation for Survival Questions! 日本語 の 翻訳 で 生存 質問!
Hi,
I would like to know what the corresponding translations are for the English phrases below. I know Romaji is useless in Japan, but coupling Hiragana with its Romaji counterpart has been EXTREMELY beneficial to me because I am still a beginner.
English: Please speak more slowly
Hiragana:
Romaji:
English: Can you say that again?
Hiragana:
Romaji:
English: How do you say _____?
Hiragana:
Romaji:
English: What does ______ mean?
Hiragana:
Romaji:
Example: asdf asdff sdfds ___________?
Hiragana: kjlk ______ fsf df sfdsdfsdf as?

English: Please speak more slowly
Hiragana: もっと ゆっくり はなして ください。
Romaji: Motto yukkuri hanashite kudasai.
I would say: もう すこし ゆっくりcはなして ください。(Mou sukoshi yukkuri hanashite kudasai. = Please speak a bit more slowly.)
English: Can you say that again?
Hiragana: もう いちど いって もらえますか。
Romaji: Mou ichido itte morae masunka
*You can also say: もう いちど いって ください。(Mou ichido itte kudasai. = Please say that again.) / もう いちど おねがいします。(Mou ichido onegai shimasu. = One more time, please.) I think they are easier for you. (I wrote the literal translations.)
English: How do you say _____ (in Japanese)?
Hiragana: (にほんご で) _____ は なんと いいますか / なんて いいますか。
Romaji: (Nihongo de) _____ wa nanto ii masu ka / nante iimasu ka.
English: What does ______ mean?
Hiragana: _____ は どういう いみ ですか。
Romaji: _____ wa douiu imi desu ka.
I hope this helps you. Good luck!
