Do you know the Japanese phrase “おかげさまで (Okagesama de)”?
This phrase is used to humbly say that things are going well thanks to others. It’s often translated as: “Thanks to you.”or “Fortunately.” But the deeper meaning is closer to: “Thanks to everyone’s help.” It can express: Gratitude toward others Saying things are going well Recognizing support from people around you Examples Someone asks how you are doing→ Okagesama de genki desu.(“I’m doing well, thanks to you.”) Talking about success→ Okagesama de umaku itteimasu.(“It’s going well thanks to everyone.”) Cultural Insight Japanese culture often emphasizes humility and gratitude.Instead of saying “I did it,” people may say “okagesama de” to recognize the support of others.
