The Trilingual Chatbox

When to use 敬語 (Honorific Japanese) and タメ語 (Casual Japanese)


Listen Later

Have you ever wondered how and when Japanese people decide to use "Honorific Japanese" or "Casual Japanese?"


In today's episode, we casually discuss when to use Honorific Japanese (Keigo | 敬語) and when to use Casual Japanese (Tamego | タメ語)  in general. At the end of this episode, Lori introduces some Keigo in Chinese as well. Stay till the end!

As always, a digital copy of today's handout is on our WordPress website.
