Seasonal Greeting‘Thank you for your support/help/care’ 「お世話になりました/osewani narimashita」

こんにちは。今年も残すところ、あと少しになりましたね。どんな1年だったでしょうか。今日は日本人が季節のあいさつによく使う表現を紹介します。

Hello! How was your 2023? It is going to end really soon. I would like to share the useful expression for seasonal greeting in Japanese.

<Japanese Script with English Translation>

人に何かをしてもらったら、お礼に「お世話になりました」と言います。

よく「ありがとうございます」と一緒に使います。

‘Osewani narimashita.’ is the expression to show your gratitude to the person who helped you. ‘Osewa’ literally means ‘your kind care.’ in English. It’s often used with ‘Thank you very much.’

例えば、先生やクライアントに「1年間、お世話になりました。」のように季節のあいさつとしても使われます。

For example, you can say ‘Osewani narimashita’ this year to your teacher and clients at the end of year as a seasonal greeting.

今年もいろいろとお世話になりました。お陰様で、フォロワー数も増え、日本のトップ企業との契約や大学の先生方とのお仕事など、実り多い年となりました。皆様のあたたかいサポート、どうもありがとうございました。これからもお役に立てるよう頑張りますので、応援よろしくお願いいたします。

‘Osewani narimashita for many things this year! Thanks to all, weve got more followers, the contracts with the top Japanese company and the collaboration with the teachers at the universities worldwide. Thank you very much for your warm support in 2023. Wed like to provide more useful contents for you and appreciate your further support!

輝いて  Enrich your life!
