Lesson Vocabulary & Phrases
神さま
kami sama
God
🇯🇵 [神さま] is a warm, respectful way to say God in Christian Japanese. It sounds gentler and more devotional than plain [神], which can also mean a god in general.
See breakdown →私たち
watashi tachi
We; us
とても
totemo
Very
💬 [とても] goes before the word it strengthens: [とても愛しています], [とても大きいです]. You can swap in many other words the same way, like [とてもうれしいです] (very happy).
See breakdown →愛しています
aishi te i masu
Love (someone) very much
💬 [愛しています] is a polite present form that can also describe an ongoing state, so it often means "love" rather than only "am loving" right now. The same pattern appears in [知っています] for "know."
See breakdown →とても愛しています
totemo aishi te i masu
To love very much
神さまは
kami sama wa
As for God
💬 [は] is written [は] but said (wa) when it marks the topic. You'll hear this in very common patterns like [神さまは] and [私は].
See breakdown →私たちを
watashi tachi o
Us
💬 [を] marks the direct object — the person or thing receiving the action. Compare [私たちを愛しています] (loves us) with [神さまは愛しています] where [神さま] is the one doing the loving.

kami sama wa watashi tachi o totemo aishi te i masu
