I don’t have a question but I have a helpful tip for people that might not know it
In windows if you type something and press F7 it will turn it to katakana automatically for you
I’m going to Japan soon for work, and meeting a bunch of people (employeed at same company) that have helped organise my appartment, job etc.
When I meet them is お世話になっております okay to include? I don’t want to seem too demanding or use the expression incorrectly. My Japanese is actually fairly good just totally unused in real life situations.
Appreciate any feedback. Thanks.
Read this and wondering about it:
なんでもうひと瓶、買っておかなかったんだろう！
Context: Someone is trying to buy a beauty product but can’t find the store to buy it. They want another bottle of it.
なんでもうひと瓶
I can’t figure out what ひと is doing here. Is it something like ひとつ?
買っておかなかったんだろう
Why didn’t I buy it in preparation (ておく = in preparation?)
