Three useful business words....
OK. Three words to start off. As I always seem to be using these, I thought it would be a good place to start.
English: "I had two meetings with customers last week."
Jenglish: "[Last week] [customers with meetings] [2 times] [had]"
日本語: 先週、取引先と会議が二回ありました。
The rule of thumb is that time references go at the beginning and verbs at the end.
- 会議 （かい・ぎ） --> meeting
- 取引先 （とり・ひき・さき） --> customer, client
- 同僚 （どう・りょう） --> colleague, co-worker
