THE JAPANESE WORD OF THE FORTNIGHT

げんきです (pronounced ‘genkides’) which means ‘feeling well’ is the Japanese Word for Week 8 & 9 of Term 2. You can say ‘げんきです’ (‘genkides’) when you are feeling well. This is a commonly used response to a question, ‘げんきですか’ (pronounced ‘genkideska?’) which means ‘How are you?’.

Thank you / ありがとうございます (pronounced ‘aligatoh gozaimas’) for your continuing support for our Japanese program.
