Have you ever forgotten your stuff? Maybe once you left something in the restaurants and hotels. We will introduce the Japanese word for stuff you forgot. It’s called Wasuremono (忘れ物).
In Japanese, Wasuremono (忘れもの) comes from verb Wasure (忘れ) which means "forgetting" and noun Mono (物) which means “things”. Combined together, it literally means forgotten things.
Japanese has high quality of service. At times it has surprised a lot of foreigners.
One of the surprising things is that "forgotten things come back." If you forgot stuff and there is your contact number in it, there is a huge chance that you will be contacted.
Let's remember following sentence before you visit Japan!
While sightseeing, guide call for your attention.
Wasuremono shinai yō ni go chūi kudasai「忘れ物しないようにご注意ください」
"Please be careful so you don’t leave anything behind."
If you lost something, return to the place where lost it and ask.
Wasure mono wa arimasendeshita ka?「忘れものはありませんでしたか？」
“Do you find things I lost here?"
When come to Japan, be careful so you do not have to use this word :)
