Rejection Stings In Any Language

(I’m taking a Japanese class and we’re going over affirmation/declination statements. The professor is trying to encourage students to decline/reject statements to no avail… until…)

Professor: “Enough! [Guy]! You’re doing well in this class; ask [Girl] if she would like to have coffee.”

Guy: *in Japanese* “Would you like to have some coffee?”

Professor: “Now [Girl], how would say no?”

Girl: *in Japanese* Sorry, [Guy], I would not like to have coffee with you.”

Professor: “OOOOOH! REJECTED! And that is how you turn people down ladies.”
