Every Day Saturday #6 - Tadaima

Tadaima ただいま is a word you will often hear being said in Japan when some one has returned home.

ただいま。 - Tadaima. - I'm Back!

ただいま、お母さん。 - Tadaima, okasaan. - I'm home mum / mother.

Try and remember to use it when you return to your Japanese friends house. They will appreciate it. Would you like to know how to reply to tadaima? That will be covered in the next Every Day Saturday, lesson.
