VIDEO: Speakin’ Japanese lesson: I’m in trouble
When we ask for help from someone, we will need to let him or her know that we are facing some kind of difficulty.
Here’s a phrase to help us explain our situation.
“Komatte imasu” means “I’m in trouble.”
(“Komatte”– in trouble/facing difficulty, “imasu” – be ～ing)
“Anata no tasuke ga hitsuyou desu” means “I need your help.”
(“Anata” – you, “no” – of, “tasuke” – help, “ga” – a particle to indicate a subject, “hitsuyou” – need/needed, “desu” – is)
Let’s communicate well and ask for help when we need it.
