How do you say “It’s almost Christmas.” in Japanese?
Today’s phrase is :
It’s almost _ (season / event).
もうすぐ _ (season / event) だね。
mousugu* _ dane
If you want to speak politely, you can say :
もうすぐ _ (season / event) ですね。
mousugu* _ desune
*We pronounce “mousugu” like “mōsugu”.
When you want to say “It’s almost _ (season / event).”, put the season or event just after “もうすぐ”.
For example, if you want to say “It’s almost Christmas*.”, you can say like this :
*Christmas ＝ クリスマス kurisumasu
もうすぐクリスマスだね。
mousugu kurisumasu dane
Or politely :
もうすぐクリスマスですね。
mousugu kurisumasu desune
もうすぐ
It’s almost
＋
クリスマスだね
Christmas
