🌸 Day 5 – Staying Consistent with Hiragana & Most Used Japanese Sentences 🇯🇵💬
Richa リチャ
Konnichiwa, minna-san! 👋✨
It’s Day 5 of my Japanese learning journey, and today was a bit slow — I’m fasting and feeling a little tired. But still, I didn’t want to skip my routine or lose my consistency. 🌙🙏
Instead of learning something new, I focused on revising Hiragana again and memorizing 20+ of the most commonly used Japanese sentences that will help me in daily conversations.
🗣️ 20+ Most Used Japanese Sentences for Daily Life
Here are some basic and useful sentences that I practiced today. I’ve added English, Romanji, and Japanese (Hiragana/Katakana + Kanji where needed):
| English | Romanji | Japanese |
| What is your name? | Anata no namae wa nan desu ka? | あなたの名前はなんですか？ |
| Where are you from? | Anata wa doko kara kimashita ka? | あなたはどこから来ましたか？ |
| Which country are you from? | Dono kuni kara kimashita ka? | どの国から来ましたか？ |
| What is your country name? | Anata no kuni no namae wa nan desu ka? | あなたの国の名前はなんですか？ |
| What are you doing? | Nani o shiteimasu ka? | なにをしていますか？ |
| What is your hobby? | Shumi wa nan desu ka? | 趣味はなんですか？ |
| What do you want to eat? | Nani o tabetai desu ka? | なにを食べたいですか？ |
| What do you want to drink? | Nani o nomitai desu ka? | なにを飲みたいですか？ |
| Where is it? | Sore wa doko desu ka? | それはどこですか？ |
| Here it is. | Koko desu. | ここです。 |
| There it is. | Asoko desu. | あそこです。 |
| You are beautiful. | Anata wa utsukushii desu. | あなたは美しいです。 |
| You are cute. | Anata wa kawaii desu. | あなたはかわいいです。 |
| I am a student. | Watashi wa gakusei desu. | わたしは学生です。 |
| I am a teacher. | Watashi wa sensei desu. | わたしは先生です。 |
| I am a software developer. | Watashi wa sofutou~ea kaihatsu-sha desu. | わたしはソフトウェア開発者です。 |
| Can you give me water please? | Omizu o kudasai. | お水をください。 |
| Where is the store? | Mise wa doko desu ka? | 店はどこですか？ |
| Where is the school? | Gakkou wa doko desu ka? | 学校はどこですか？ |
| Where is the university? | Daigaku wa doko desu ka? | 大学はどこですか？ |
| How old are you? | Anata wa nansai desu ka? | あなたは何歳ですか？ |
| How many members in your family? | Kazoku wa nan-nin desu ka? | 家族は何人ですか？ |
| I don’t like this. | Kore wa suki ja nai. | これは好きじゃない。 |
| I like this. | Kore ga suki desu. | これが好きです。 |
| I am not a teacher. | Watashi wa sensei ja arimasen. | わたしは先生じゃありません。 |
✨ Why These Sentences?
Because they are practical, repetitive, and used daily in real-world situations. From self-introductions to asking directions, these sentences form the building blocks of casual and polite conversation. I plan to make flashcards and use them in mock conversations.
Tomorrow I will attend a Japanese class, and I’m excited to start learning Katakana from there. But for now, I’m making sure my Hiragana and basics are solid. 📚✨
🌧️ Final Thoughts
Even on days when you’re tired or fasting, doing something small to stay on track is still progress. It’s not about how much you study — it’s about showing up. 💪
Let’s keep this energy going together. Stay tuned for tomorrow’s update and feel free to drop comments, corrections, or connect if you’re learning too!
ありがとう! またね!
