In this lesson of Waku Waku Japanese, Konomi teaches some of the basic response words you might encounter during a Japanese conversation. While very basic, they are extremely common, much like their English counterparts.

Un (un-un) – uh huh; yeah
うん（うんうん）

Sou nan da / Fuun – I see; ahh
そうなんだ／ふーん

Sou-Sou – right!; yeah!
そうそう

Hontou – really?
ほんとう

Sou ne – let me see…
そうね

So next time you’re in a conversation with friends, try replacing your normal response/listening words with these Japanese ones!
