Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast!

I remember.
Yeah?
Yep.
Okay.
Um, that's an English question from me.
Yes, sure.
Um, when you, um, um, about remember.
Remember?
Yeah.
Um, I remember that.
Mm-hmm.
How do you, um, translate this phrase into Japanese?
I remember that.
I think I know where you're going.
But, um, I remember that is, uh, "sore oboeteru."
"Sore oboeteru."
Would be my translation of it.
Okay.
With zero context.
Okay, okay.
Um, you just said, you just did, uh, echoing that you actually forgot to put.
Yeah.
But after that you, you remembered.
Yes.
That echoing and did that and said, "Oh, I remember."
Yeah.
So, that's still "oboeteru."
Is that "omoi dashita?"
No?
Uh, in that context what I just used was "oboeteta."
"Oboeteta."
Wait, I forgot how I used it.
Uh.
Oh, no, it's "omoi dashita."
"Omoidashita."
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's different.
So, my question is, um, is there any other way of saying "omoi dashita" or "oboeteiru"?
Because it's kind of different, you know?
"Omoidashita."
And, "Ore oboeteru."
It's really different, but only expression I know is, "Oh, I remember that."
Yeah.
So, right.
Yeah.
That paradox, that difficulty is, I feel it too.
I feel it as well.
Oh, really?
Oh.
Like, I try to think of it as something else, but it's, um, if it's "omoi dashita."
Yeah.
"Oh, I remember."
"Omoidashita."
"Oh, I remember."
Uh-huh.
It's, first of all, the way you say it is just, it's one differentiator.
Okay.
"Oh, I remember."
That's like, "Ah, ima!"
Yeah.
"Oh, I just remembered."
Oh, okay.
So, like, and another thing is, like, I guess, saying "just."
"Oh, I just remembered."
If it's added with "just," it's never like, "Oboeru."
Okay, okay.
Yeah.
That's just, "Oh, omoidashita."
Yeah.
Okay, okay.
True.
And, um, um, "Oh, I just."
"Oh, I."
"Oh, it just came to me."
Oh, came to me.
Yeah.
03:00
Right.
Cool.
Okay.
That's like, "Ai, ima omoidashita."
Right.
Okay.
So, um, when you've been asked by your girlfriend, for example, "Oh, it's our anniversary, darling.
Do you remember that?"
Uh-huh.
And, "Yeah, I remember that, of course."
Uh-huh.
Would be, you know, "Omoidashita."
Or, like, "Oboeteta."
Could be, you know, in both ways.
True.
So, if you answer it as, like, "Oh, I remember."
That's like, you just now noticed it.
Okay.
But, like, if you answer as, "Oh, yeah, I remember that."
Uh-huh.
That's like, "Oh, oboeteyo."
Okay.
So, it's just a way of saying it.
Yeah.
It's a nuance.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
Thank you.
That's it.
That's it.
Now, this is my, you know, curious.
Yeah, that is one of the -- Yeah, we try to do a TikTok on that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But --
Yeah.
It is difficult.
Yeah.
What about, "I remembered."
"Yeah, I remembered."
You don't say so?
Um, "I remembered."
"I remembered."
"Remembered."
Yeah, I'll say, "Remembered."
"Remembered."
So, "I remembered."
"I remembered" could mean two things.
One is, um, "remembered."
"Oboeta."
"Hai, ima oboemashita."
It's like, "memorized."
Yeah.
Okay.
"Remembered."
Okay.
Another is, "I remembered."
"Oboeteta yo."
Huh.
"Oboeteta yo."
"Oboeteta yo."
Yeah, that's the second one.
Okay.
Okay.
So, um, "Do you remember its anniversary?"
And then, "Yeah, I remembered."
So, the first meaning wouldn't make sense in that context, right?
Do you remember the anniversary?
Yeah.
"Wareware no kinenbi oboeta?"
"Ima oboeta."
Yeah, I guess that makes sense.
"Ima oboeta."
I guess that, for me, that didn't make sense.
I guess it could make sense.
Yeah, but, um...
If you're like a terrible boyfriend.
Yeah.
Oh, it's today?
Okay, I just remembered.
I remembered.
All right.
From now on, it's good.
Next year, I'll get it right.
Right?
Yeah.
Stop fighting, then.
True, true.
So, yeah, it could mean both ways.
Okay.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah, but, um...
I know, it's not "sukiri" at all.
Yeah, it's just way of saying it.
Yeah.
It's all "mata."
Exactly.
Okay.
I couldn't think of anything, any other, like, differentiator.
Uh-huh, okay.
No, it just has been my, you know, question for a long time.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
06:01
It's, uh, yeah.
"Oboete nai."
"Omoidasenai."
"I don't remember.
I can't remember."
Ah.
Yeah.
True.
No, no, sorry, sorry.
"I don't remember" is "oboete nai."
"Omoidasenai."
Uh-huh.
And, "I can't remember" is "dottara dou?"
Uh-huh.
If you're asked that question, it means "oboerarenai."
Uh-huh.
It's true, it's true.
It's true.
Right.
Yeah.
Um, true.
So, "omoidasenai," you can't say it as "I can't remember."
That's "oboerarenai."
Okay.
Yeah.
Wow.
Right.
"Dadaaaaa."
Can you remember that?
"And I can't remember."
Yeah, "I can't remember" that.
Whatever that was, right?
That was so random right there.
I don't even can remember that.
Yeah.
And I don't remember at the same time.
Yeah.
You can't remember when you don't remember.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, but that's a difficult one.
So confusing, right?
Yeah, so confusing.
Yeah.
All right.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah.
Do we still have time?
Yeah, we got like two.
Two?
Okay, then it's a simple question.
All right.
Simple one.
So, it's from Emi-san.
Emi-san again?
Thank you.
Sorry, it's from Emi-san again.
All right.
Sorry.
Wow.
Fancy.
