[✐4. Allegretto] Upgrade your Japanese - humble and beautiful!

お+V(I,II)ます+します、ご+N/V(III)+します [謙譲語 Humble]

“I will call you later.”

[00:08]

Hello everyone. Today, we will practice the refined expressions which are useful in business situation. I also recommend you to use them when you talk to superiors or people you meet for the first time.

Note: Kenjougo is a humble way of speaking, when you speak to someone of a higher position of power or a senior person, in which you humble yourself down. Together with sonkeigo(honorific language), many learners are annoyed by these complicated systems - but today, we stick to the very basic of humble way of speaking. In fact, not just in a hierarchical context, it also gives others a sophisticated impression.

[00:21]

My condition of throat is not good today, but I will do my best.

[00:27]

Followings are when you talk about your own actions. In other words, the subject is “watashi = I”. Repeat after the sound ♫.

--- It’s difficult to reflect a humble way of speaking in the English translation, but think of it with the nuance of “let me do something (for you).” ---

[00:40]

1. I will lead the way.

2. I will explain how to use.

3. I will inform you of tomorrow’s schedule.

4. I will prepare it.

5. I will carry (your) bag.

6. I will give you the materials/handouts.

7. I will take your picture.

8. I will send the package/parcel.

9. I will lend you an umbrella.

10. I will call a taxi.

[02:45]

Now, make a sentence with “〜shimashouka” as follows.

For example,

We’re busy preparing for tomorrow’s meeting.

/ I, too, help

→ Shall I help you too?

Ready?
