While watching Daiwa TV online, one of the guest
speakers repeatedly said the phrase "Ma no hou"??
I think he also said "Sono hou" a few times as well.
Does anyone know what "Ma no hou" means?
The "no hou" part is probably "の方", but I have
no idea what the "ma" might be.
Thanks.

The guest speaker is Mr. Hikaru Sato. He repeats
the phrase "ma no hou" or "ima no hou" repeatedly
time after time, so you get many chances to hear what
he is saying.
If he is saying "ima no hou", does that basically mean
"In the direction of today/now"???

Hmm, you might be right about the "ima no hou". To

I hear it to be "まあ、あのほう"/"Maa, ano hou". You are right that he
certainly does say it a lot.

qualified agreement". As an example, it has the
following conversation:
(J) Ashita ikimasu yo. ("I'm going there tomorrow.")
(N) Yoku ikimasu nee. ("You go there often dont you!")
(J) Ee, maa ("Yes, I guess I do")
So, I agree it sounds like he says "ma ano hou" or
"maa ano hou". And yes, "ma" seems to be the
equivalent of "maybe".
