That's a total riddle you made up there!
Hurry and be a pineapple tomorrow too.
Hey YouTube it's CathyCat. Today we are challenging Japanese people
That are kind of frequently used in the English language
when we text each other!
We are gonna quiz Japanese people and find out if they figure out
the meaning. Let's go and quiz Japanese.
Guess this in 10 seconds
Yay.
Are you ready?
Yay!
Ok one more time we can do that better.
Yay!
Thanks! - That was quick, how did you get that?
Cause it says THX.
Have you ever used that word? - Never really.
I will use it from now on!
Thanks!
Bingo. - Wow you're good.
How did you figure it out?
My favorite idol uses abbreviations in his songs.
and that's how I figured it out.
What idol are we talking about?
Taisuke Fujigaya from the Johnny's idol group.
He abbreviates his songs a lot too.
There we go.
What? THX?
We use it a lot in the English language.
Maybe it's like Thank you? That's probably wrong.
So close.
When you abbreviate Thank you... - Thanks! - Bingo.
- That's like Thanks? - Wow how did you get that my friend?
That's Thanks! - Very quick!
It's arigatou in Japanese.
Wow you are amazing.
T H X?? - That could be thank you.
Oh right I got it. - Thankies.
You got that, I had no clue.
I pretend to be a foreigner, that's why.
I know it because many people use it as hashtag on Instagram.
Instagrammers use it a lot. That's how I know it.
Here we go.
ASAP?
What What what?
TA-DA
Huh?
What is that even?
HUH?
WHAT? Asapu?
Maybe that's like PPAP.
Nice idea there.
If it's like PPAP what do you think it means?
Apple
Soup
Apple soup...
Asia
Possible
Find the right English words to use for the abbreviations.
Ask...
Service...
Age
People
Ask Service Age People
The last word is actually "possible"...
I can only think of Mission Impossible.
It's not PPAP but ASAP.
Not Pikotaro?
Please try and add some English in there.
Apple
Sugar
I have no clue.
Australia
Finally Pinapple.
Apple Sugar Australia Pineapple
Not sure if that will be a new hit song.
Oh certainly it will.
If you have no clue, try to put in some English words to make it work.
Aidoru (Idol)
Aidoru... Super....
I can only think of the word APPLE.
POWER.
That's a whole mystery there.
Nobody will get that.
What starts with A?
What do you think of first? - Apple.
Soul.
So we have a band name "APPLE SOUL"
And for the other A?
Ant. Ants.
Ant and the final P is...
Pineapple.
Apple Soul Ant Pineapple.
What the heck?
What is it? - ASAP sounds like the idol group SMAP
And there is the brand ANAP too. - Nice one there.
I have no clue so... Apple.
S stands for SAD.
Applepie.
Can I make it in Japanese?
Ideally it should be English.
But I can't speak any English.
Ok you can try in Japanese.
A for Aishiteru (I love you)
S is for satato (hurry)
Hurry and make me your pineapple.
Hurry and be a pineapple tomorrow too.
I love you, hurry, make me a pineapple too.
That's it. That's the one.
That's the one. Do we win this game?
Be sure to try that out guys.
The first word is not APPLE but AS
As.... possible.
As soon as possible!
In Japanese slang it's "Naruhaya"
Come as soon as possible. I get it.
Shall I tell you the answer?
As soon as possible.
Have you heard about that?
Yes I have.
As soon as possible.
We have done that in English class. When you put a word between two "AS" words.
It means to do something as soon as you can.
- You might say "naruhaya" - Oh yes we use that!
As soon as possible is like naruhaya in Japanese.
Oh what is that so? That's so difficult.
That's so difficult. Japanese people will never get that. - I'll use it from now on.
As soon as possible...
And it means to do something as soon as you can.
I see.
Let me give you the answer.
As soon as possible.
I don't get that either.
Naruhaya!
In Japan we abbreviate "narubeku hayaku" as "Naruhaya" too.
Apparently if you put that into your phone you get a little EMOJI. I didn't know that
So I am gonna try that now.
ASAP...
It doesn't work on other apps but it works on the LINE app apparently.
You see different stamps when you enter it.
If you put it into the LINE app you get a little stamp.
Mine showed up!
There is is I can see it!
That's amazing I didn't know.
I will try it from now on. - Oh please try.
We will!
ASAP....
Oh there is one! That one?
Yes that's it.
That's funny, I didn't know that that was in my phone.
People use it a lot. - I will try and use it too!
I will try using that word more. - Give it a go!
Try THX too. - Wow there are so many stamps for it.
You even get thank you and such coming up!
Ooooh - There is your stamp.
I will NEVER use that.
Give THX a go.
OOOh.
No way I will ever have the chance to use that.
Do you use the Line app too? - Yes we do.
If you add ASAP to Line it will show you a sparkly ASAP stamp.
Whaaaaa?
What was it again? - ASAP.
Oh wow you were right. I can see it.
What? Don't send me that in a message. Oh she just did.
It's so cute. This means naruhaya! Let's use it from now on.
Maybe we should.
Same goes for THX.
Wow so many "Arigatou" stamps showed up when I did that.
Wow the line app understands English. How clever.
Wow I learned something.
We learned a new word. Our brain just got that little bit better.
It made me want to study English more.
Those were our questions. Thanks so much.
OMG, LOL, my BFF made me ROFL so hard.
These are just a couple of text-speak words that people might be using or not using.
As you can see, we surprised a couple of Japanese people
with the ASAP but THX was actually fairly easy to pick up for people.
It's a word that you can guestimate what it is.
How about you do actually use text speak when you message online?
Are there any fun words that you use quite a lot?
Maybe in there are words you would like us to use and ask Japanese on the streets
If there is a word that's really funny, "Ask Japanese people that"
write it down in the box below. If you see someone else has already
put down that word, then please comment on his comment
So we have a line of comments going like "Yes use that one"
So don't just put one word down. Once that word is down, comment on each others comments.
So we have a list so we know which one was the most popular. Or like it up.
So we know and maybe can ask that next time on the streets in Japan.
What's your general opinion on Textspeak though. Do you use it a lot?
Or are you like "no it's a devastation of the English language"
In that case, we'd like to hear your opinion too.
Leave us comments down below, looking forward to seeing it.
We have asked Japanese people before, for ex What's a STAPLER.
And the answer was quite funny. That's a video you might want to watch.
We put the links in the link section at the end of the video.
I hope you enjoyed this and give us some recommendation of text speak
that we should ask Japanese next time we go to Tokyo.
Wish you a lovely day and catch you here soon on Ask Japanese.
