| Japanese | かわいい女性にはどうやって話したらいいでしょうか？ |
|---|---|
| Rōmaji | kawaī josei ni wa dō yatte hanashitara īdeshou ka? |
| English | How do I start a conversation with a cute girl? |
| Japanese | Rōmaji | Part of Speech | English |
|---|---|---|---|
| かわいい | kawaī | Adjective | Cute |
| 女性 (じょせい) | josei | Noun | Woman |
| には | niha | Particle | To |
| どうやって | dō yatte | Auxiliary | How |
| 話す (はなす) | hanashu | Verb | Talk (or Speak) |
"どうやって〜" is the set phrase to mean "How do(can) I ~?" or "How do(can) you~". In Japanese, we often leave out subjects（or even objects) when we are clear from the context.
"話したら"(hanashitara) is a conjugated form of "はなす"(talk)
"には" (に) is a particle and indicates a person who gives something or who provides a service in this case.
You can also say "きれいな"(kireina: beautiful) or "セクシーな" (sekushīna: sexy), instead of "かわいい" (kawaī: cute) depending on the girl
Rōmaji, or ローマ字, is the romanization of the Japanese written language.
Honestly I don't like to use this, because it is only a crutch and doesn't help your Japanese pronunciation, but just in case you want to know how to pronunce roughly, I put it.
Rōmaji is only a representation of written Japanese, and therefore should not be used as a primary means when learning the language. This can cause the formation of bad habits or misunderstandings. Please do not rely on this too much. Just mimic my sound.
| Japanese | 僕はいますごく緊張しています! |
|---|---|
| Rōmaji | boku wa ima sugoku kinchō shite imasu! |
| English | I’m really really nervous right now! |
| Japanese | Rōmaji | Part of Speech | English |
|---|---|---|---|
| 僕 (ぼく) | boku | Pronoun | I (※Must be male) |
| いま | ima | Noun | Now |
| すごく | sugoku | Adjective | Very (Extremely) |
| 緊張 (きんちょう) | kinchō | Noun | Nervous |
| しています | shite imasu | Verb | Doing something |
"ぼく"(boku) is a pronoun which indicates male. "私（わたし）"(watashi) indicates female. Both of them are same meaning, but, unlike English, we use differently "僕 (ぼく)" or "私（わたし）" depending on the gender.
"は"(ha) is a particle and indicates the subject of the sentence. But we often leave out the subject and particle when having a 1 to 1 conversation (because both are clear the subjects).
You can also say "とても" (totemo: very), instead of "すごく". It's almost the same meaning.
You can also say "てんぱっている" (tenppateiru: I'm nervous now) when you really know the person, instead of "緊張（きんちょう）している". It's much more casual way. This is one of Japanese slangs.
| Japanese | どこかで会いませんでしたか？ |

| Rōmaji | dokoka de aimasen deshitaka |

|---|---|---|---|
| どこか | dokoka | Noun | SomeWwere |
| 会う (あう) | au | Verb | meet |
| でしたか？ | deshitaka | Tag question | do you? |
"どこかで〜でしたか？" is the set phrase to mean "We've met somewhere before, haven't we?" or "You know me, right?". In Japanese, we often leave out subjects（or even objects) when we are clear from the context.
You can also say "見覚えがあります" (mioboe ga arimashu) if you want to say "You look familiar". "見覚え" literally means "I recognize you" or "You're familiar". "あります" literally means "I have" or "I am"
| Japanese | 僕に日本語を教えてくれませんか？ |

| 日本語 | nihongo | Noun | Japanese Language |
| 教える | oshiete | Verb | Teach |
| くれませんか？ | kuremasenka | Tag question | Could you~? |
"おしえて"(oshiete) is a conjugated form of "おしえる"(talk)
"〜くれませんか？" (kuremasenka) is the set phrase to mean "Could you 〜?" or "Is it OK〜?". It's polite way to ask something.
The most creepy and unattractive thing guys do to girls is not smiling.
You don’t have to smile all the time awkwardly, but at least you want you to keep a nice grin on your face. So that she feels you’re comfortable and happy with the interaction. Don’t forget you actually enjoy the moment. Force on your body language, not words.
Think like this.
Japanese girls are waiting for you to talk to them. They want to talk with you, but can’t approach to you because they’re too shy. Of course, not everyone thinks like that actually, but just believe this applies to majority of people more importantly. This mindset will help you approach to them always first. You have to take a first step always.
This sounds obvious. But surprisingly, a lot of foreign guys speak English at the initial approach.
No, you need to talk to her in Japanese! That shows you made effort and courage a lot. They know speaking Japanese is difficult, so more likely they appreciate your action. If you find out she’s totally OK to talk in English, of course, you can talk in English.
But at least show them you’re not afraid of language barrier to have a conversation with her.
I really hope you actually use these lines to Japanese girls. Otherwise, the time I made this page is going to be completely meaningless.
