Transcript
- Lucas: Hey Luna, ready for another episode of Learn Japanese with Fexingo? Luna: Absolutely! I've been practicing my kitchen words from last time. Lucas: Oh, that's great! Today we're continuing with more kitchen items. We learned 鍋, フライパン, お椀, and 箸 last time. Luna: Right! 鍋 is pot, フライパン is frying pan, お椀 is bowl, and 箸 is chopsticks. Lucas: Perfect. Now let's add a few more. First, コップ. This means 'cup' or 'glass'. Luna: コップ. Like a drinking glass? Lucas: Exactly. コップ. Repeat after me: コップ. Luna: コップ. Lucas: Good! Now, お皿. This means 'plate'. Luna: お皿. So お皿 is a plate. I use that every day. Lucas: Yes. お皿. Let's practice: お皿. Luna: お皿. Lucas: Great. Next, スプーン. This is a 'spoon'. Luna: スプーン. That sounds familiar! Lucas: It's from English, right. スプーン. Try it: スプーン. Luna: スプーン. Lucas: And finally, フォーク. This is a 'fork'. Luna: フォーク. Like 'fork' but with a Japanese accent. Lucas: Exactly. フォーク. Repeat: フォーク. Luna: フォーク. Lucas: Good. Now let's put them in a sentence. コップとお皿とスプーンとフォークがあります。That means 'I have a cup, a plate, a spoon, and a fork.' Luna: コップとお皿とスプーンとフォークがあります。That's a lot of items. Can I say it slower? Lucas: Sure. コップ... と... お皿... と... スプーン... と... フォーク... があります。 Luna: コップとお皿とスプーンとフォークがあります。 Lucas: Perfect! Now imagine you're setting the table. You might say: お皿とスプーンとフォークを置きます。That means 'I put the plate, spoon, and fork.' Luna: お皿とスプーンとフォークを置きます。 Lucas: Excellent. Let's do a quick review. What's 'cup'? Luna: コップ. Lucas: And 'plate'? Luna: お皿. Lucas: Spoon? Luna: スプーン. Lucas: Fork? Luna: フォーク. Lucas: You've got them! Now, let's imagine you're in a kitchen and you need to ask for something. How would you say 'Please give me a cup'? Luna: Hmm... コップをください? Lucas: Yes! コップをください。Perfect. Luna: Oh, I remember that pattern from earlier episodes. Lucas: Right. So you can use it for any item. お皿をください。スプーンをください。フォークをください。 Luna: お皿をください。スプーンをください。フォークをください。 Lucas: Great. Now let's do a little scene. You're at a friend's house for dinner. Your friend says: お茶をどうぞ。Would you like some tea? What do you say? Luna: I could say: はい、コップをください。Yes, please give me a cup. Lucas: Exactly! And then your friend gives you a cup of tea. Then you might say: ありがとうございます。 Luna: ありがとうございます。 Lucas: By the way, if Fexingo has been helping you make progress with Japanese, listeners like you are the reason we can keep making these episodes ad-free.

And if you want to say 'I need a fork,' you can say: フォークが要ります。 Luna: フォークが要ります。 Lucas: Right. Or 'I need a spoon' is スプーンが要ります。 Luna: スプーンが要ります。 Lucas: Let's do a quick quiz. I'll say the English, you say the Japanese. Ready? Cup. Luna: コップ. Lucas: Plate. Luna: お皿. Lucas: Spoon. Luna: スプーン. Lucas: Fork. Luna: フォーク. Lucas: Perfect! You did great today.
