Hello and welcome to this Bizmates words and phrases
video series for Japanese businesspeople.
And today's question is hey,
are you up for a beer tonight?
Great natural phrase. If you like to drink,
if you like to party, you'll use this a lot.
Are you up for a beer tonight?
OK. What does it mean? We will find out.
But first, let's do our usual test.
So last time we learned play it safe.
Well tell me a time that you played it safe.
What did you do?
You took the safe route.
OK. I hope you came up with a good example
of playing it safe.
OK. Let's go on to today's question.
Are you up for a beer tonight?
What does this mean?
Maybe you could already imagine it OK.
But this is what I often hear.
I hear you know, let's imagine
Taro wants to go drinking.
So he wants to invite me. Just the two of us.
Just the two of us.
And he says, Hika,
would you like to go drinking with me tonight?
And I say,
Ah,... no thanks.
And the reason I say no thanks is,
it is a little bit strange OK.
Because go drinking with me, go drinking.
The image of go drinking is like with 5 people.
OK. It's like a group thing. Hey, wanna go drinking?
Yeah sure, who's coming?
Oh yeah, everyone from Marketing is coming.
So to say go drinking with me it,
it sounds really strange.
A little bit uncomfortable because
would you like is formal.
And you know, imagine we're colleagues,
and you know, it's like a date.
He's asking me on a date, something like that.
And so I say no. OK.
So a more natural way is this.
So, if Taro wants to go drinking with me,
one on one. Just for a casual drink,
we say this.
Hey, are you up for a beer tonight?
Yeah, sure. Let's go.
Just like that. Very natural.
Very casual. No one is uncomfortable.
OK. Just like that.
Are you up for a beer tonight?
OK. So let's look at pronunciation.
It's are ya, are you up fora beer tonight?
Are ya up for a beer tonight?
Are ya up for a beer tonight?
You try.
OK. So I want you to ask me the question
and I will answer. Ready? Go.
Yeah, sure. Let's go.
Just like that.
OK. So for homework.
Next time we meet, I want you to ask me.
Are you up for a beer tonight?
And I'll say, yeah sure.
OK. So we'll see you in the next lesson.
Thank you.
