お知らせ في 30 ثانية

  • Oshirase means 'notice' or 'announcement'.
  • It is a polite noun derived from 'shiraseru'.
  • Commonly seen in emails, apps, and public signs.
  • Essential for understanding logistics and updates in Japan.

The Japanese word お知らせ (Oshirase) is a quintessential noun in both daily life and professional environments. At its core, it refers to a notice, announcement, or communication intended to provide information to a specific or general audience. Derived from the verb 知らせる (shiraseru), meaning 'to inform' or 'to notify,' the addition of the honorific prefix 'o-' (お) elevates the term, making it suitable for formal, polite, and public contexts. Unlike a casual 'telling' (hanashi), an oshirase implies a structured piece of information, often one-way, from an authority or service provider to a recipient.

Etymology
Composed of the honorific 'O' + the continuative form of 'Shiraseru' (to inform).
Grammatical Function
Primarily functions as a noun, but can be used with 'suru' (to notify) in specific formal constructions.
Tone
Polite, professional, and objective. It is the standard term for official updates.

「明日、停電のお知らせが届きました。」 (A notice about tomorrow's power outage arrived.)

In the digital age, you will encounter this word daily on your smartphone. Every 'notification' from an app or a 'news' update on a website is typically categorized under this heading. It covers a broad spectrum: from a simple 'we are closing early today' to a major 'change in company policy.' It is less about 'news' in the journalistic sense (which would be nyuusu or houdou) and more about 'information you need to know' regarding a service or community.

「新製品発売に関するお知らせ」 (Announcement regarding the launch of a new product.)

Visual Context
Often found in bold letters on bulletin boards (keijiban) or in the subject line of emails.

Using お知らせ correctly requires understanding its role as a formal noun. It is rarely used for personal secrets or casual gossip. Instead, use it when you are conveying information that has a degree of importance or officiality. In business Japanese, it is the standard way to introduce a topic in an email subject line: [お知らせ] 年末年始の営業について (Notice: Regarding Year-end and New Year Business Hours).

「先生から、テスト範囲のお知らせがありました。」 (There was an announcement from the teacher about the test range.)

Common verbs paired with oshirase include ある (aru) to indicate a notice exists, 届く (todoku) for a notice arriving, and 出す (dasu) or 行う (okonau) for issuing a notice. In very formal settings, you might hear oshirase itashimasu (we will inform you), where the noun is part of a humble verbal construction.

Common Pattern 1
~の(に関する)お知らせ (Notice regarding...)
Common Pattern 2
お知らせを掲示する (To post a notice)

「アプリのお知らせ設定をオンにする。」 (Turn on the app notification settings.)

You will hear お知らせ in almost every public space in Japan. In train stations, an automated voice might say, 「お客様にお知らせいたします」 (Attention passengers, we have an announcement), followed by information about delays or safety. In department stores, it precedes information about lost children or special sales. It is the 'voice of the institution.'

「駅のアナウンスで、列車の遅延のお知らせを聞いた。」 (I heard the announcement about the train delay over the station speakers.)

In the digital realm, 'Oshirase' is the standard label for the 'Notifications' or 'News' tab in Japanese apps like LINE, Twitter, or banking apps. It is also the primary heading on municipal websites where the city government shares information about trash collection, festivals, or emergency warnings.

Public Transport
Announcements about schedule changes or safety reminders.
Schools/Offices
Bulletins about holidays, meetings, or policy changes.

「市役所から、ワクチン接種のお知らせが来た。」 (A notice about vaccinations came from the city hall.)

One major mistake is confusing お知らせ with ニュース (Nyūsu). While both provide information, Nyūsu refers to world events or journalistic reporting. You wouldn't call a notice about your neighbor's lost cat a 'news' in the formal sense; it's an oshirase. Conversely, the BBC doesn't provide 'oshirase'; they provide 'houdou' (reporting).

Another error is the omission of the 'o' (お). While 'shirase' (知らせ) exists, it is often used in literary contexts (e.g., mushi no shirase - a premonition) or as a very dry, technical noun. In 99% of daily interactions, the polite 'o' is mandatory to avoid sounding rude or overly clinical.

「❌ 友達に大切なお知らせがある。」 (Sounds like you are a corporation talking to a customer. Use 'hanashi' instead.)

Understanding the synonyms helps refine your Japanese. 通知 (Tsuuchi) is more formal and often implies a legal or official notification that requires action (like a tax notice). 連絡 (Renraku) is 'contact' or 'communication' and is much more bidirectional—you 'renraku' with a friend to meet up. 報告 (Houkoku) is a 'report' given to a superior after a task is completed.

通知 (Tsuuchi)
Official, often legal, notification.
連絡 (Renraku)
General communication/contact.
広報 (Kouhou)
Public relations/official publicity.

「合格の通知を受け取った。」 (I received the notification of passing - more formal than oshirase.)
