Informal or casual Japanese phrases in everyday conversation are often referred to as "Kudaketa Nihongo" or "Tameguchi". Kudaketa Nihongo and Tameguchi are used in informal situations such as speaking with friends, family, or younger people. This language is certainly not used in formal situations or with older people.

The appropriate use of informal or casual language in Japanese indicates closeness and comfort in relationships. However, inappropriate use can be considered impolite or disrespectful. Informal language can also vary depending on the region in Japan. For example, the Kansai dialect has informal expressions that differ from Tokyo.

For Japanese language learners, the formal form is usually taught first before introducing the informal form.
