You already know “body parts” in Japanese. But can you actually USE them in a sentence? 👀
Let’s go beyond the flashcard. 💪
Here are all the words from this image — plus how real Japanese speakers actually use them 👇
・
髪（かみ）— Hair 髪を切った。 “I got a haircut.” (Literally: I cut my hair.)
額（ひたい）— Forehead 緊張すると額に汗をかく。 “When I get nervous, I sweat on my forehead.”
目（め）— Eye 目が疲れた。 “My eyes are tired.” (Every student at 2am 😅)
鼻（はな）— Nose 鼻をかんでいいですか？ “May I blow my nose?” (Useful. Very useful in winter Japan.)
口（くち）— Mouth 口に合いますか？ “Does it suit your taste?” (Literally: Does it match your mouth? — a classic Japanese phrase)
耳（みみ）— Ear 耳が痛い話だ。 “That’s painful to hear.” (Literally: it hurts my ear — used when something hits too close to home 😬)
顎（あご）— Jaw 顎が外れそうなほど驚いた。 “I was so shocked my jaw nearly dropped.”
肩（かた）— Shoulder 肩が凝った。 “My shoulders are stiff.” (The most common complaint in Japan — office life 😩)
指（ゆび）— Finger 指を差すのは失礼だよ。 “It’s rude to point your finger at someone.”
手（て）— Hand 手伝ってください！ “Please help me!” (Literally: lend me your hand)
腕（うで）— Arm 彼は腕がいい。 “He’s highly skilled.” (Literally: his arm is good — 腕 is also used to mean someone’s ability or craft 🔥)

📌 Pro tip: In Japanese, body part words appear constantly in idioms and everyday expressions. Learning them isn’t just about anatomy — it unlocks a whole layer of natural Japanese that textbooks skip.
腕 = skill. 口 = taste. 耳 = what you’re willing to hear. The body speaks the language. 🗣️
