the teacher was actually pretty good! Filipino guy but super fluent in Japanese, or should i say Nihonggo. has a Japanese wife too and she was a cutie! it was legit a fun class & i learned quite a bit under him, but for some reason the only thing that really stuck with me was otsukaresama-desuka, and i can't even remember what that means anymore lmao.

That's super cool to hear actually, I think a lot of the time a teacher can make or break a class and having bad teachers caused me to drop a couple classes in high school. You're close, you're thinking of otsukaresama deshita, which basically means "good work". It's used typically at the end of work days or things like that and is a super common phrase. A fun fact is that meaning is really different to the literal translation, which is basically "you are tired". You can kinda read between the lines and find how that was started to be a more polite phrase. Depending on how polite you're being to the person you're talking to, it can be shortened by quite a bit, usually to something like otsukaresama but I've heard it go as short as otsu online.

What has never made sense to me is these peeps that wake up from comas with a different accent or speaking another language. How is that even possible? It makes zero sense, I can't get my brain around it. How can you gain something you haven't learned?

Anyway, quoting you too 😁

That kind of stuff is really strange to me, the closest I've heard to things like that is someone having amnesia and their taste in foods changing. But to be honest, I kinda always thought those were either stretched or just fictional.

Thanks for the quote Ash! Here's one for you too. <3

That's the thing, I understand losing something, but how on earth can you gain knowledge you haven't learned? The only thing I can think of is that those people were exposed to that language or skill, maybe watching others or tv etc, and even though they didn't learn it, their subconscious must have taken it in. Otherwise, as a girl of science, I can only conclude ... witches :)
