✨️Today’s Japanese Tip “How was it?” vs. “I hope you had fun” In English, both of these sound natural: “How was your holiday?” “I hope you had fun.” English speakers often add “I hope…” to sound warm and friendly. In Japanese, the same feeling is usually not said out loud. Instead, people simply ask: 「どうでしたか？」 (How was it?) 「楽しかったですか？」 (Did you have a good time?) These questions already include a quiet feeling of “I hope it went well.” The difference is not the feeling — but whether we say it, or leave it unspoken.

Today’s Japanese Tip: “‘Wakarimasu ka?’ Is Not ‘Do You Understand?’” Have you ever felt surprised in a Japanese class when the teacher asked: 「わかりますか？」 and it sounded to you like “Do you understand?” If so, you’re not alone. ⸻ In Japanese, 「わかりますか？」 is a very common and neutral expression. Teachers use it all the time. The important point is that the subject is unclear. It doesn’t strongly mean “Do you understand?” It feels closer to: “Is this understandable?” “Does this make sense?” So the focus is on the explanation, not on the listener. That’s why 「わかりますか？」 sounds soft and natural in Japanese. ⸻ ✨ Tip In Japanese, not saying the subject often makes a sentence gentler. So don’t translate word by word. Translate the feeling.
