When Japanese Laugh at Inappropriate Moments | Why & What to Do
【Japanese Communication #4】In my intercultural seminars, many non-Japanese participants ask me why Japanese laugh at inappropriate moments. Some find it very strange, confusing and even insulting. So, I’ve decided to create a video dedicated to this topic. In this video, you will see why Japanese may laugh at inappropriate moments, and what to do about it.

Interesting ..... never thought of this one ..... i.e. inappropriate moments do you mean unexpected moments?

Thanks for your comment! Inappropriate moments mean unexpected moments, but also moments when one is not supposed to be laughing. Hope this helps. Have a good day!

@@WorkingWithJapanese Thank you. I see the difference. Inappropriate applies when laughing at that very moment makes the situation awkward, somewhat disagreeable whereas unexpected .... well .... means unexpected without any nasty connotation
