(Notes I took watching @japaneseammo_misa video on "mean(ing)". I took A LOT of notes, so this will be broken into parts. All my reviews will be written in my native language, English:) 1. 意味(いみ) <PART I>: "meaning." This word is a noun and can be used like so... ◇What does (A) mean? ~FORMALLY 🙏🏾 •(A)はどういう意味ですか。 •(A)は何(なん)と意味ですか。 ~CASUALLY 🙋🏾‍♀️ •(A)はどういう意味？ •(A)は何(なん)て意味？ •(A)ってどういう意味？(*more native) •(A)は何(なに)？ •(A)って何(なに)？(more casual than ~は何？) ◇(A) means (B) [⚠️If (A) already mentioned, don't repeat it.] •(B)です。 例えば(たとえば) - Example •「あっている」は何と意味ですか。 What does "あっている" mean? •「正(ただ)しい」などの意味です。 It means "correct," "right" (etc.) ~°~☆~°~☆~°~☆~°~ •「ミスる」ってどういう意味？ What does "ミスる" mean? •俗(ぞく)語(ご)で、「失敗(しっぱい)する」って意味。 It's slang, and it means "to fail." 🔴PRO TIP: it's best to always use formal speech in Japanese unless you're friends with the person you're speaking with. Most won't tell you if you're being obnoxious or rude, so always be polite and only use casual forms when they are comfortable with you. 😉 #日本語 #復習 #意味 #LanguageAdventures #Beginner #Reviewing https://www.instagram.com/p/BsgE8yIB5no/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=o1k1xgchch6v

~ドアの建(た)て付(つ)け悪(わる)いからな...~ Es porque las prueba para la puerta es mala ya... | It's because the fitting for the door is bad... ~☆~•~☆~•~☆~I •ドア la puerta | door •建て付け la prueba | fitting •悪い い adjetivo, mal | い adjective, bad •ミシイ onomatopeya, el chirrido | onomatopoeia, creak •~から porque | because •ミシッ (ミシミシ | みしみし) onomatopeya, el chirrido del estrés físico | onomatopoeia, creak from physical stress ----- Rin is talking to herself, alone in the restaurant (な expresses this.) Earlier she heard the door rattling and was wondering if it was a costumer or the wind. The restaurant is old and not in the best shape, so the fitting for the door (ドアの建て付け) is bad (悪い). ~から means because (there other ways to express this in Japanese, but for now just focus on this one.) If we take the previous and put it together with this one: なんだ•• お客さんかと思ったら風か•• ドアの建て付け悪いからな... She's stating the reason for why she's wondering if it's the wind or a customer. ----- You may have noticed the word ドア is very close to the English word "door." Words imported from other languages are written in katakana, but they have Japanese pronunciation. A Spanish word you'll see is パン (pan) "bread". 😊 This particular ドア is also the western style doors we use here and not like the sliding doors in Japan. ----- One of the onomatopoeia you'll see in this book is ミシッ which is an abbreviation of ミシミシ (or みしみし) and it is a sound that's made when Rin sits on the chair. Like creaking or groaning from the pressure of her weight. Rin isn't heavy though; the chair is just really old. 😆 ----- Keep studying my friends! 😉 #LanguageAdventures #Beginner #日本語 #Español https://www.instagram.com/p/BvcRVG7DuiE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=121ppej4dm4x6

一年に日本語を勉強しています！😄 今日は日本語で話すビデオを作りました。もっと長いのを持っています。後にアップロードしてみます。間違いが多いです。まだ間違えますが、頑張ります。😊 いつかは日本語が話せるようになります！ I've been studying Japanese for 1 year! 😄 Today I made a video speaking in Japanese. I have a longer one. I'll try to upload it later. There are lots of errors. I still make mistakes, but I persevere. 😊 Someday I WILL be fluent! #Japanese #日本語 #Beginner #OneYear #LanguageAdventures
