How do you say “You’re exaggerating.” in Japanese?
Today’s phrase is :
You’re exaggerating.
大げさだよ。
oogesadayo*
*We pronounce “oogesa” like “ōgesa”.
- You = あなたは anatawa
- are exaggerating = 大げさだよ oogesadayo
We do not usually say “あなたは (= you)” in everyday conversation.
You are exaggeratingあなたは 大げさだよ
