@japanesepod101 I’ve heard before, in an instance where a friend gave a friend a gift, the person receiving the gift said “Sumi.” It’s been bugging me since ‘Sumimasen” means excuse me/I’m sorry.

@alice5753 Yes, “doumo arigatou” and “arigatou gozaimasu” are more formal, and “arigatou” is informal

alice5753 Says :
Hiroko sensei! i have two questions!
1-doumo arigatou would be a formal way of saying thank you?
2- i can only say arigatou right? it would be a informal way right?
Arigatou Gozaimasu

@sailorneptune98 Gomennasai and Sumimasen can both mean “I’m Sorry”
and both mean “excuse me”. However “Gomennasai” tends to be used as “I’m Sorry”.
and “Sumimasen” tends to be used as “excuse me”. When “Sumimasen” is used as “I’m Sorry”, it is more polite than Gomennasai.
Hope that helped somewhat. ^^

@deathdriver2007 Depending on the person. If the person is family or a friend, you can use informal Japanese, but if the person is someone you just met or staff, use formal.
