✨✨It's not in the textbook! "Young People's Language" used by native speakers ┃ Aizuchi Edition✨✨
Hello everyone! How's your Japanese study going?
The Japanese you learn in textbooks and classes is very clean and proper. However, the words that native Japanese speakers use with their friends or online can be a little different from what you find in a textbook.
Today, I'll introduce some "Aizuchi," or conversational fillers, that are not in the textbooks but are commonly used by native speakers.
"Aizuchi" refers to the brief responses or nods you give while someone is talking, to show that you're listening and engaged. The Japanese phrase for this is "Aizuchi o utsu," which literally means "to strike a hammer," but it actually means to give a response.
Lately, I've noticed certain "Aizuchi" being used a lot. They started as slang among young people but have now spread to middle-aged generations and are widely used today.
In this article, I'll cover:

🙆Next, you can read it on your blog.
