How to Say ‘I'm Smith, who made a reservation for Saturday.’ in Japanese
土曜日に予約した Smith です。
doyoubi ni yoyaku shi ta Smith desu
[doh-yoh-bee nee yoh-yah-koo shee tah dess]
💬 Usage Tip: The whole description comes before your name: 土曜日に予約した "who reserved on Saturday" + name + です. Swap in other details the same way: 三時に電話した "who called at three" + name + です.
🇯🇵 In Japan: When calling back about a booking, Japanese callers identify themselves by the reservation first, so staff can find it right away.

“Teaching in Osaka and I wanted to connect with my students beyond the classroom. The everyday conversation made my Japanese feel natural, not textbook-y.”
Mia S., 25, English Teacher
“I hop cities every few months and this is the only app that actually prepares me for living somewhere, not just visiting. Tokyo was the real test — passed with flying colors.”
James O., 28, Remote Worker
