How to say this in Japanese?

[berrypie]

When you are giving a gift to someone (let's say, a box of chocolates), you may say something like "I hope you will like it/enjoy it". How to say this in Japanese?

[Arikado]

Well, you're supposed to say something like (if I can remember correctly): Kore wa sukoshi desu ga" or something like that, meaning "This isn't much but..." I believe that is the polite way to give someone a gift.

Good question because we will never say it　like you guys do!

We say 「つまらないものですが, 気（き）に入（い）っていただければ幸（さいわ）いで す。」, which roughly translates into "It's a rather boring thing, but I'd be happy if you found it enjoyable." Japanese humility at its best.

Come back if the other person is much younger or much older.

I think that sentence will be good enogh for me (Yes I am gonna send a box of chocolates to someone).... but how will you say to a person who is younger or elder than you? (I'm just curious)

[Nagoyankee]

To someone　younger, you can say:

「これ、少しだけど食べてみてね。気に入るといいけど ・・・」 = This isn't a lot. It'd be great if you liked it.

To someone much older, say something like:

「つまらない品で申し訳ないのですが、お口に合いまし たら幸いでございます。」 = I apologize for this to be a rather boring item, but I shall be happy if it fits your palate.

Thanks for answering me! These sentences will be really useful I believe.

These sentences are applied to chocolates (and food item), what if I wanna give out other gifts? (for eg: scarf)

Sorry for keep asking

「これ、プレゼント。使ってね。」 = for persons younger.

「これ、つまらないものですが、受け取ってください。 」 = for friends and equals

「これ、つまらないものですが、よろしければお使い下 さい。」 = for people older, your boss (even if he/she is younger), your teacher, etc.

Notice all my sample sentences in this thread so far are just samples. There are other ways to say these.

I didn't want to create a new topic because it'd be the same as this one so I'll just ask:

how do you write "Imposible is nothing" and "DON'T FEAR! GO FOR IT!"

thanks!!!
