to speak

Hanasemasu is the polite form to have the ability to speak and Hanashimasu is the polite form to speak or converse.

Anyway, hanasu, spelled with the kanji 話す, means to speak. But 放す, which is pronounced the same and conjugates by the same exact rules, means “to separate / set loose” etc. So that’s also why the anime girls say “hanashite!” when they’re saying something like “let go of me!”.

“Kataru” also means “to speak” or “to talk,” but it is less commonly encountered than “hanasu” or “shaberu.” “Kataru” is more of a literary word than a spoken one, and when “kataru” is interchanged with “hanasu” in spoken (or written) Japanese it can make the sentence sound more formal, literary, or even proverbial.

In Japanese, we use quotation marks (「Words here」) followed by と to signify what someone is saying. For direct quotes, this is often paired with “言います” (いいます). – 田中さんは「ねこが好き」と言いました。 – Mr.

” Nandayo ” (何だよ) Means basically: “What the hell!”, The kanji: 何 – nan, means “what”. Japanese people have “dayo” (-だよ) ending particles, that basically express that you are disturbed / irritated / angry… Japanese people sometimes use it in, for example, when you say “why”, which would be “Doushite” (どうして) In …

“Nandayo!” = Bloody hell!

A polite and the most general expression that is used by both women and men everywhere from formal occasions to business and public situations. Boku is an expression used only by men.

It’s completely up to you as to which one you want to use, but a female looking person using boku might sound weird if they don’t know you well. If it’s someone you talk to often, you can just explain once and use boku, but if not you might wanna just use watashi because you’ll probably be using keigo to them anyways.
