EP105 Japanese Celebration Phrases 🇯🇵 Omedetou!

When do you say “omedetou” in Japanese? 🇯🇵

In today’s episode, we’re learning useful Japanese phrases for celebrations and congratulations!

We’ll practice natural phrases for different situations, including birthdays, entering a new school, graduation, passing an exam, getting married, having a baby, and New Year.

In Japanese, we often use:

[situation] + omedetou

But we don’t use omedetou for every special occasion!

For example, on Mother’s Day or Father’s Day, we usually say:

Itsumo arigatou.

Instead of trying to translate everything directly from English, try connecting the situation and the phrase together.

For example:

Birthday → Otanjoubi omedetou!
Graduation → Sotsugyou omedetou!
Passing an exam → Goukaku omedetou!

Learning phrases together with the situation can help you remember what to say when you actually need it!
