WhallopingHaddock 0 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Am I supposed to say this when I leave a restaurant even if the meal was poor? Do Japanese people do that, or just don't say it? I get the feeling it gets said no matter what. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 doesnt matter really but various ways of using it for sure Link to post Share on other sites
bobby12 0 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 People tend to say it even at my work canteen which serves the crappest crap you have ever seen. freezing cold stuff wallowing in oil. I never say it. Link to post Share on other sites
griller 9 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I was wondering that. So how do the guys know if their meal really is delish? Extra more personal comments perhaps? Link to post Share on other sites
samurai 0 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 it also kind of means thanks for the meal. At least, that's how it was explained to me. I never use it to express how much I liked the meal. that gets overdone with the oishii and mai throughout the meal. Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Samurai has it. It is just an expression of thanks, and is being polite. If it was delicious, then say so. It is often said to prompt for the bill too. It just lets people know you are finished. Link to post Share on other sites
warhawk 0 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I just use it. You don't have to mean it. Though obviously your inflection will show whether or not you were satisfied. Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Half the people say it in an unimpressed way even if they were happy. I reckon if it was good say it load.. if It was shit mumble it! Link to post Share on other sites
