How To Say Happy In Japanese
Telling someone that you’re happy and that you’re having in Japanese can be very useful and motivating for someone else. For example, if you’re on a date and you want to continue seeing the other person, you will tell him / her that you enjoy the date. But how do you express hapiness, joy or pleasure in Japanese?
There are many Japanese words that can accomplish this task but let’s start with the basic Japanese word ureshii. Ureshii is perhaps the most common and effective word for express your happiness. When you’re happy, you can just shout out ureshii!
Watashi no tame ni, kono bentou wo tsukute kureta yo ne. Ureshii yo!
You made this lunch box for me. I’m so happy!
Kanojo wa ureshii kao wo shiteiru.
She’s wearing a happy face. (She’s happy).
There are many ways you can use the Japanese verb ureshii. You can turn it into an adverb. To turn a Japanese adjective into an adverb, you need to omit the ending -i and replace it with -ku.
Ore wa kanojo no kao wo miru dake de, nanka ureshiku narimasu.
Just by looking at her face, I become happy.
Kare wa ureshiku sono uta wo utaimashita.
He sang that song happily.
See how useful the simple Japanese adjective ureshii can do? Let’s look the second Japanese adjective tanoshii which means enjoyable and fun. Tanoshii is usually used when you want to express fun or enjoyment. Since it’s a Japanese adjective, you would use tanoshii the same way as ureshii.
Machi de burabura suru no ga sonna ni tanoshii desu ka?
Is wandering aimless on the street that enjoyable?
Dewa okyakusama, yukkuri tanoshinde kudasai.
Dear customers, please enjoy yourself.
Watashi wa tada kimi to tanoshii toki wo sugoshitai dake desu.
I only wanted to have a great time with you.

I am really interested in learning japanese because i love manga and anime and it looks like a really cool language to learn but my dad says i should learn spanish instead because it’s more usefull but i hate spanish. What do you think i should do? And please don’t say whatever i want because that’s not the answer im looking for.
When deciding on a foreign language, ask yourself which one you're most interested in learning, NOT which is most useful. If you're not interested in learning it, it's unlikely you'll ever reach a reasonable competence in the language. Since you're really interested in Japanese, you can definitely become competent, despite the fact that it's know to be a lot more difficult for a native English speaker than Spanish is.
It certainly isn't a useless language, and could easily get you a job involving Japanese.
BTW, about 130 Million people speak Japanese.
It's true that you'll have to learn a completely new writing system with an incredible abundance of complex characters-but perseverance brings reward!
So just forget about what you're dad says and have fun learning and using Japanese!!!
And who knows…you may end up living in Japan one day! =)
