Lesson 8: When Something Goes Wrong

A short toolkit for the moments nobody plans for: a lost item, a wrong order, or feeling unwell.

Key Phrases

  • Please help me — 助けてください。(Tasukete kudasai.)
  • I lost ___ — 〇〇をなくしました。(〇〇 o nakushimashita.) — 〇〇 is a placeholder for whatever you lost.
  • This is different from what I ordered — これは注文した物と違います。(Kore wa chūmon shita mono to chigaimasu.)
  • I feel sick/unwell — 気分が悪いです。(Kibun ga warui desu.)
  • Please call the police — 警察を呼んでください。(Keisatsu o yonde kudasai.)
  • I'm lost (lost my way) — 道に迷いました。(Michi ni mayoimashita.)
