Recently, more people from overseas have started following me, so I’d like to explain a little about the Japanese language 😊🇯🇵
In Japanese, we often omit subjects and pronouns (such as “I,” “you,” or “he/she”).
Sometimes we even omit the object of a sentence. 😂
For example, a complete conversation can sometimes be built from phrases like:
“Went there!”
“Ate it!”
“Got one!”
without clearly stating who did what.
Japanese people often rely not only on words themselves, but also on context, situations, relationships, and even the atmosphere of a conversation to understand meaning.
Because of this, automatic translation and AI can sometimes struggle with Japanese. 😅
As a result, Japanese posts and replies may occasionally be translated in a way that sounds strange or conveys a slightly different meaning than intended.
If a machine-translated version of one of my posts or replies doesn’t make sense, or feels confusing, please don’t hesitate to ask me. 😊
I’ll do my best to explain it in a way that’s easy to understand. 🌸
Japanese is sometimes a language that makes AI cry. 🤣
