I'm gonna be talking about why Japanese people say I'm sorry too much.

なぜ日本人は「I'm sorry」を連発するのかです

This is one of the things that I have found about embracing way speakers.

これは私が日本人英語話者に関して気づいたことの一つです

When I was back in Belgium on my exchange, there was one time where I was listening to a conversation between Irish and Japanese students.

留学でベルギーにいた頃の話です

They were like, Hey, I'm sorry, but can I use your pan?

ある日、アイルランド人と日本人学生が話しているところに立ち会いました

ごめん、悪いんだけどペン貸してもらえる？

Obviously, the Japanese student is saying too many saris in this conversation, and it made me wonder where this sorrys coming from.

So I gave a lot of 1000 came to one conclusion.

会話の中で明らかに日本人学生は必要以上に「I'm sorry」を使っています

In order to understand this, you have to know a little bit about Japanese culture.

この「Sorry」は一体どこから来ているのか気になったので

結構考えた末、一つの結論にたどり着きました

Imagine you gotta call somebody immediately, but you realize you bless your phone at home and some stranger kindly lead to use his phone.

これを理解する為には、日本の文化について少し知る必要があります

What would you say to that guy for the kind behavior you would say?

緊急である人に電話しなくてはなりません

しかし家に携帯を忘れてきてしまいました

While a lot of them would also say thank you.

そこで通りすがりの人が親切にも携帯を貸してくれます

It would be also perfectly natural to say I'm sorry.

その行為に対してどんな言葉をかけますか？

「ありがとう」と言う人が多いでしょう

A lot of Japanese people say I'm sorry as thank you.

Why is this that politeness in Japan is rooted in people's negative feeling that day?

多くの人が「ありがとう」と言う一方

She doing enough others behaviors, and it's rude to intrude others.

「すみません 」と言うのも全く問題ありません

実は、 沢山の日本人が「ありがとう」の代わりに「すみません」を使うんです。

I made one video dedicated to planet theory in the past, so please check it out if you are interested in it.

日本人の礼儀正しさの根本には、

Since asking somebody for a favor is considered as an act to interrupt others and cause them trouble.

他人の行動を邪魔したり、他人の領域に干渉するべきではないという消極的な考えがあります。

When favorite star people feel responsible for the time and trouble to do the favor with the feeling very strong Japanese people overuse saris.

これはNegative faceと呼ばれます。

This is also why Japanese people don't really talk to strangers were Don't even look at them.

Sometimes this is a conversation between Japanese customer and stuff member at a coffee shop area Does Amos was a mascot.

誰かに助けを借りるということは

他人の行動を邪魔し、面倒を被る行為になるので

So okay, Caleb Pickering Larry Moss saying, darling, I small thing I was gonna Christmas saying was dismissed on all day.

助けてもらった行為に費やされた時間と手間に責任を感じます

日本人はこの考えがとても強いので

C'mon, Seamus and there seems to be no need to say sorry in this situation.

「Sorry」を使いすぎてしまうのです

But as many as three saris are used in this dialogue, a seemingly first saris for asking for the money.

見知らぬ人に話しかけたり目を合わせたりしないのも同じ理由からです

2nd 1 is for the customers trouble to hand over the money, and the last one is for the customers trouble to receive the change and put it back into the wallet.

たまに行き過ぎているなと感じることもあります

This might sound crazy to you, but I guess that's what those Sorry, So for.

謝る必要は全くないように思える状況ですが

What do you think about this Japanese culture?

３回も「すみません」を使っています
