Delicious "ne", delicious "yo", delicious "na"

"deliciousRight""deliciousYo""deliciousWhat". When and how do you use this? We often use these three in conversation. Let's study these three today.


This is delicious "ne"


With peopletogetherWhen eating rice, drinking juice, eating / drinking the same thing with "this is delicious"Share your feelings.. I use "This is delicious" with the feeling of "Thank you" to the person who made the drink / food, the person who prepared it, and the person who introduced it.


As shown below, to the people who are with me, "~~RightYou can share your feelings with.


・ It's hot / cold todayRight

・ Oh, the stars are beautifulRight

・ There is a dog. TinyRight

・ The wind feels goodRight

・ This room is largeRight


This is delicious "yo"


Your favorite food / drinkI recommend.. I like this because it's delicious. But my friends don't know the food / drink. At that time, "This is deliciousYoLet's say. See the sentence below. Everyone's recommendation is "YoCan be introduced at.

When you teach your friends what you don't knowAlso"YoIs used.

* It may be a little rude to use "yo" for school teachers, part-time job managers, older people, etc. Listen carefully to how the people you work with use "yo" and imitate it.


This is delicious "na"


Use "na" when you are thinking alone or when you want to express your feelings. Sometimes when I have friends and family nearbyUse "na" to express your feelings.When you want to start a conversation, say your feelings with "na". I'm sure my friends and family will reply.
