Bradcat's Japanese Word of the Week... Omiyage

Bradcat's Japanese phrase/word of the week is: "Omiyage" (お土産) "Oh-me-ah-geh" which means "Gift" or "Souvenir." It's usually used when someone gives a gift to another.

For example if you're in the middle of a Japanese zombie apocalypse and you wanted to share your supplies with other survivors, you could offer the gift and say "Omiyage desu" which means "This is a gift"

When the survivor thanks you with "Arigato gozaimasu" you can reply with Dōitashimashite (どういたしまして) "Doh-ee-tash-ee-mash-e-te" which means "You're welcome!"
