Tadaima !

Description

ただいま !
Tadaima is, well, slightly harder than the previous ones, simply because it can be used at any time of the day - but I dont think its that hard!
Its translation to English is "I'm back!" or "I'm home!". There is a longer and more formal form, which is ただいまかえりました / Tadaima kaerimashita. I believe if we want to dissect the meaning for each word, tadaima means "just now", and kaerimashita means "came home" (past tense). So if you combine them, it will be "I just came home". But don't be confused, it is perfectly fine to say tadaima alone and people will assume that you are saying "I'm back".


And thats it! Its quite easy isnt it?
Hopefully 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! And if you happen to have a request on Japanese phrase for me to do, just tell me! I will do my best to make it happen by adding it to my list - since I already have some queuing up!

Thanks for reading!
