How do you say “We’re gonna be late!” in Japanese?
Today’s phrase is :
We’re gonna be late!
遅れるよ！
okureruyo
If you want to speak politely, you can say :
遅れますよ！
okuremasuyo
- we ＝ わたしたちは watashitachiwa
- be going to be late ＝ 遅れる okureru
We do not usually say “わたしたちは” in everyday conversation.
We are gonna be lateわたしたちは 遅れるよ
