Assignment#28

I think Japanese culture is very polite. For example bow to everyone, honorific words and Japanese people are considerate. First Japanese people do bow. It is very important manner. For example I met elder, I bow down to elder. We usually used bow. However, another country people doesn’t use use bow. Bow is only japan. Next Japanese people use honorific words. There are three types. For example, sonkeigo, kenjougo, teineigo. Honorific words is used to show respect for the person you are speaking to elder. However I speak in casual talk and friends. We don’t use honorific. I think Japanese honorific is beautiful and difficult. Foreigners say honorific is so difficult because so many words. Finally, Japanese people have considerate. For example maybe Japanese people don’t say “No” because Japanese people is very kind. Compassion is a characteristic of Japanese. I miss Japanese culture when I came to United State. I love Japanese culture and I think culture is important things.
