There’s a very useful phrase in Japanese that goes: “So desu ne” ("so dess nay"), as in the following conversation between a Boss (A) and a Worker (B). If not convinced, click each "so desu ne" to listen, reading the "translation" in parentheses. SO DESU NE A. Come in, come in. It’s a little cool today, isn’t it? B. So desu ne! (Yes, it is a bit.) A. Looking at the forecast I expected a bit of sun today. B. So desu ne. (Yes, guess I did too.) A. Pull up a chair. There’s one over there. B. So desu ne. (Oh, so there is.) A. Now, how are the March sales figures so far? B. So desu ne. (Hmm, yes, well, erm …) |
It depends on how you say it you see, there are audio files on the original web page for your learning pleasure. Go to link below for the audio and the rest of the examples :)
