How do you say “NO” to this message? 🍻

Hi everyone, I’m Makoto! I’m a Certified Japanese Teacher.

Let’s practice a “Soft Decline”!

Let’s move beyond the textbook “No, I can’t go” and use more natural Japanese.

[Situation]

On Friday night, I received this LINE message from a Japanese friend:

You’re tired, so I don’t want to go today.

It’s Friday night. You just received this LINE message from a Japanese friend.

You are exhausted and want to say no to the invite.

Friend:

"Shall we all go out for drinks tonight?🍺"

(Shall we drink together tonight?)

【Your Task】

How would you respond to your friend? Please write in Japanese! How will you reply? Please write in Japanese.

⭐️I will check your answers and rate your naturalness (0-100%).

Other native speakers and advanced learners are welcome to join in and give us advice! Let's all enjoy Japanese together!
