INFO:

Today’s word is 回送u002Fkaisou! The word 回送u002Fkaisou is used in Japanese to indicate that a trainu002Fvehicle is out of service and is being returned to its depot. It is commonly used on buses, trains, taxis, and other transportation. For example, if you see a bus with the sign 回送, it means that the bus is out of service and is being returned to the bus depot. As I talked about in this video, 回送u002Fkaisou is used for trains too. At stations, you should hear the announcement saying 回送電車が参りますu002Fkaisou densya ga mairimasu which means “Out-of-service train is coming (to the platform)”. 電車u002Fdensya is “train” as I talked about in my previous videos and 参りますu002Fmairimasu is the polite way to say “coming” and this phrase is commonly used in announcements. Also, when you’re catching a taxi in Japan, 回送u002Fkaisou is the word you should definitely remember. Once taxi drivers call it a day, their taxi’s display says 回送 which I showed in this video. You won’t be able to catch the taxi saying 回送 and you should look for other ones saying 空u002Faki which means “vacant”. In Tokyo at least, taxi’s display color is different. Most of the time, if the taxi is not available, it’s in red. On the other hand, if it’s available, it’s green. It’s interesting to check each taxi passing by in front of you. You’ll see the difference. I’m not sure if you have heard of the Japanese word “seaweed”. It’s actually 海藻u002Fkaisou and the pronunciation is exactly the same! Some Japanese people can’t write 海藻u002Fkaisou correctly, but you should remember how to say “seaweed”. わかめu002Fwakame is one of the most popular ingredients for miso soup. わかめu002Fwakame and とうふu002Ftoufu みそ汁u002Fmisoshiru is the most classic one that I grew up with! Thank you for reading the description again! If you feel like you studying alone, that’s not true! I’m also learning how to deliver my content in the most efficient way. I’m also learning Japanese since teaching and using a language are totally different. Let’s keep making an effort together!
