334.【会話】Honne & Tatemae Quiz: Japanese Phrases That Mean the Opposite | 本音と建前クイズ!12 Oct17 min

<p>When someone says &quot;考えます&quot; (I&#39;ll think about it), how much thinking is actually happening? In this episode I put Tatsuya, an online Japanese teacher, through a quiz on 本音 (true feelings) and 建前 (the polite front) — everyday phrases where the literal meaning and the real meaning don&#39;t quite line up. Turning down an invitation, replying to a business proposal, reacting to a photo of someone&#39;s new partner. Even as a native speaker, I&#39;ve misread these myself🙈 If you&#39;ve ever felt stuck between the words and the intention, this one&#39;s for you!</p><p><br></p><p>Tatsuya also teaches Japanese online.
