5 ways to use the words 「どうも」(doumo)

The original meaning of「どうも」is “something we cannot explain in words”.
This vague, fuzzy word is used in many situations.
I’d like to explain 5 different ways to use it.

1. Emphasize To place an emphasis on the following phrases.
We put 「どうも」before the specific phrases to emphasize them
<example>
・どうも　ありがとうございました (Thank you very much)
・どうも　すみません (I’m so sorry)
・どうも　しつれいしました (I’m sorry to bother you)

2. Short greeting
「どうも」 is used to say ‘Hi’, ‘Hello’ in casual occasions.
<examples>
・どうも　たなかです（Hi, I’m Tanaka）
・a mother:「これが、むすこの　けん　です」(This is my son, Ken)
a son:「どうも」(Hi)

3. Hearsay, guess
When we combine 「どうも」and 「～のようだ／～らしい／～そうだ」,it means “It seems that”, “They say that”

<examples>
・どうも　きょうは　あめ　らしい　(It seems to as though it will rain today)
・どうも　たなかさんは　おこっている　ようだ (I guess Mr. Tanaka is angry)
・どうも　かぜが　はやっている　そうだ　(They say that a cold is spreading)

4. Unsatisfied/regretful feeling
When we combine 「どうも」and negative sentences, we can express that we are unsatisfied about the matters.

<examples>
・なんど　やっても　どうも　うまくいかない(I tried again and again but I cannot make it for some reasons)
・あの　はんけつには　どうも　なっとく　できない (The judgment seems to be right but I’m not convinced with of that)

5. Express we don’t know why
This is the most difficult part. We put 「どうも」to express that we don’t know the reason, we don’t know how it happens.

<examples>
・どうも　ちょうしが　おかしい (I’m not in good shape for some reasons)
・どうも　すうがくは　にがてだ (I don’t know why but I’m poor at math)
・どうも　あのひとは　うんがいい ( He is lucky for some reasons)</examples></examples></examples></examples></example>

Trump In Between Two Polars

After the mysterious and controversial victory of the famous billionaire Donald Trump, here is an example of a dialogue in between two native Americans.

Teddy: I am over the moon with the current news, I can't wait to see him in the inauguration.
Aria: Why are you happy? I think this will be the end of the american republic.
Teddy: Why are you saying that? He is a very famous businessman and will get us money from everywhere.
Aria: But it is not a company, It is the strongest country and the most influential one on earth. There are other things to be considered, like the military affairs, Foreign policy as well as handling different cultures and views.
Teddy: This country needs a strong man, he will hire of fire anyone who doesn't show good performance perform well.
Aria: Leadership is important, but a uni polar single faceted view in this country is disastrous. I think you led the country into a long dark tunnel.
Teddy: On the contrary, it is a new sunrise shine. America will be strong again.
Aria: Let's wait and see, I pray for a unified developed country.
Teddy: You will see. 

VERY GOOD! :)
