That's because there's a typo "ohaiyou" in the sentence, not the correct one "ohayō/ohayou". Your AI/machine translator misinterpreted the sentence as お肺ようございます (ohai you gozaimasu).

お(o): polite prefix
肺(hai): lungs
よう(you): u-euphonic change of よく; good/fine/healthy
ございます(gozaimasu): polite/respectful version of です; is/are
 
Thanks for the responses! It must be a dialect thing. I saw a young woman on a YouTube video open with that, and I was like WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA??? Hahaha, also, has anybody seen people do this?

ピッっと

YUYU said this at the end of one of his podcasts and I have never seen a DOUBLE SOKUON??? Holy buckets I didn't know it was possible.


Also the lung jokes made me laugh. I'm terrible at spelling out Japanese in ROMAJI now. HAHA
 
Also, does anybody have any tips on reading Japanese movie posters? I'm trying to learn new names and words from the original Gojira 1954 poster, my favorite Godzilla film. Thanks!
 
Me again, does anybody have a good rule of thumb for intuiting the pitch accent of a new word you learn or read without having to look it up?

I've never worried about this in my entire 30 years of speaking Japanese. I'm sure I pronounce things wrong sometimes but who cares as long as I'm understood. I might be saying it's raining candy (雨 vs 飴) for all I know. I'm not a native speaker and never will be. If you say/hear a word frequently enough you'll learn the pitch accent naturally.
 
The topic of pitch comes up every now and again, and I also think that focusing on pitch is just one of those things that will be more of a speed bump to learning, rather than a help. Of course you should strive for accurate pitch, but it is something that can be picked up through attentive listening, and trial and error (with new vocabulary).

Having said that, here is a neat site that lets you look up words and their pitch accents.

Does anybody know what these two kanji are and how to pronounce them? I can't figure out the second one. The first one looks like 矢 (SHI) in this case, but what is the second one? Thanks!

Thanks a ton! You rock, man these old posters are hard to read sometimes.

When I'm translating I'm generally trying to get an overall gist of the sentence without literally translating every word. Good idea? Your thoughts?
 
It's hard to get the gist when you don't understand every word. Or, you are in danger of missing the meaning of a sentence if you have to skip over words you don't know. Don't fall into the trap of thinking, "I can't read that word, but its probably not important to the overall vibe". The words and the vibe are a set. Once you have the gist, you can allow yourself to take a small step away from a literal translation, but you have to be certain that you have accurately understood the text.

What I'm saying is: be tough on yourself. Be as meticulous as possible about understanding the words so you can be sure you are getting the gist. Don't jump to the conclusion that you understand the gist if you understand only 80% of the words.

So many times I have done this only to find out I've completely misunderstood the text because I skipped over some words I didn't know and considered unimportant.
 
Holy smokes, haha, I need to keep practicing. Should you focus on particles and the words attached to each for the true meaning?
 
All of it is important. Particles, nouns, verbs, tone. It's impossible to get the vibe just by picking out the few things that you know. It's a marathon, so don't expect mastery in a few days or weeks or months. Little by little it comes together.

haha thank you sir!
 
Does anybody have any tips for comprehension when you're reading something exclusively in hiragana and katakana? HAHA, I love playing old Pocket Monsters Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, and sometimes I'm like... wait... I feel like I know that word. HAhaha, is it just in knowing solid vocabulary, and feeling out the context? THanks!
