Description

いらっしゃいませ !
Irasshaimase is an expression used to welcome customers into a shop, store, or a restaurant.
When you are in Japan, it is common to hear this phrase being used casually, where there are many shops or restaurants nearby. It can be translated to "welcome" or "come in" in English. Irasshaimase / いらっしゃいませ and Youkoso / ようこそ both mean "welcome", but while Irasshaimase is used in a "come in" sense, Youkoso usually used to welcome people to Japan, in a "welcome to our country" sense. The phrase usually sounds like : Nihon e youkoso! = Welcome to Japan! So, they are quite similar but very different in the same time :)

And thats it! Its quite easy isnt it?
Hopefully this first edition of my Learn Japanese Series : Phrase will help! Even just a little, I will be very grateful that this series will help you to learn something new! Even for me, I am learning something new as well, since I need to confirm the truth of what I wrote. There is nothing more embarrassing than trying to teach people a wrong thing, and be proud of what Im doing! haha!
Anyway, do tell me what you think of this series! Feedback, comments, everything! Im trying to keep things as simple as possible and therefore, I need your feedback!
:)
Thank you for reading!
