Transcript
- Lucas: Hey Luna, ready for another cozy autumn episode of Learn Japanese with Fexingo? Luna: Absolutely. Last time we talked about warm drinks, and I'm still craving that 甘酒. Lucas: Right. So today, let's keep the autumn theme going with something sweet and fresh — autumn fruits. Luna: Ooh, I love fruit. What do we have? Lucas: First up, 柿. That's persimmon. Luna: 柿. Lucas: 柿. Luna: 柿. It sounds kind of crisp, like the fruit itself. Lucas: It does. Persimmons are super popular in Japan in fall. Next, ぶどう — grapes. Luna: ぶどう. I love grapes. ぶどう. Lucas: You've got it. And りんご — apple. Luna: りんご. That's one I remember. りんご. Lucas: Perfect. So now, if you're at a market and want to buy a persimmon, you can say 柿をください. Luna: 柿をください. Lucas: 柿をください. Luna: 柿をください. So it's like 'give me a persimmon, please'. Lucas: Exactly. And if it tastes good, you can say 甘いです — it's sweet. Luna: 甘いです. Lucas: 甘いです. And of course, おいしいです — it's delicious. You've heard that before. Luna: おいしいです. Yeah, that one's a classic. Lucas: So let's put it together. Imagine you're at a fruit stand in autumn. You see 柿, ぶどう, りんご. Luna: That sounds lovely. Lucas: And you're feeling brave. You say 柿をください. The vendor hands you one, you bite in, and it's sweet. You smile and say 甘いです. おいしいです. Luna: Oh, I can picture it. 柿をください. 甘いです. おいしいです. Lucas: Nice.

Lucas: And to ask for them, 柿をください, ぶどうをください, りんごをください. Luna: 柿をください, ぶどうをください, りんごをください. Lucas: And when they're tasty, 甘いです, おいしいです. Luna: 甘いです, おいしいです. Lucas: That's it for today.
