Jasmine in Japan ·

2026/10/03

When to use formal Japanese??

Jasmine in Japan ·

2026/05/24

So, are you unconsciously using casual Japanese to those who you shouldn’t?? This podcast episode will solve a bit of that:) タメ語（tame-go）or タメ口（tame-guchi）→a casual way of speaking in Japanese・タメ→same age. Ex. 「私ら、タメだね。」→”we are the same age.”・語→language. Ex. 「日本語」→”Japanese”・口→mouth. Usually it’s read like “kuchi.” But since the word タメ口 is combination of two words, so we read it “guchi.”→if the relationship between you and one another is close even though they are older than you are, and they are
