Synopsis

Find out how to say, "He modestly understated his fabulous achievements" and "His modesty is commendable." Learn about honorific versus humble speech: the purpose, formation, and altered vocabulary. And "meet" people with 謙 in their names, such as actor Ken Watanabe; the first person to cross the Pacific by yacht; and an empress who may have dallied with a sinister monk.
