「あやしい」とは本当かどうか疑わしいという意味です。
「聞いているだけで英語が話せるようになる」とか「これを食べるだけでやせる」という商品を見るたびに私は「あやしいな」と思います。

オンラインショップやレストランのレビューもあやしいなと感じることがあります。私はアマゾンで商品を買うときはなるべくレビューやコメントが多い商品を選びます。レビューがとてもいい商品でも、レビューの数が少ないものはあまり選ばないようにしています。

２週間前の雪が降るという天気予報を私はあやしいなと思っていました。「もう4月なのに今さら雪が降るわけがない」と思っていました。でも、たくさん雪が積もりました。

みなさんは、最近なにか「あやしいな」と感じたことはありますか？


あやしい：doubtful, suspect, fishy
疑わしい：うたがわしい　doughtful
やせる：lose weight
商品：しょうひん　product
レビュー：rating, review, 評価（ひょうか）
数：かず　number
評価をつける／残す（のこす）： to rate, review

Meet the real man behind the name — Neil McTaggart.

In this video, I share the true-life background of Neil McTaggart, a young man from Scotland who emigrated to Canada in the 1920s. He is the inspiration behind my serialized audio book, and this clip gives you the historical and personal context behind the fiction.

🪨 From the stone he carried in his pocket to the life he built abroad, Neil’s journey is one of survuval and change.

📚 About the Series

My serialized book, based on Neil's life, blends historical fact with fictional storytelling. This video sets the scene and introduces you to the real person whose life sparked the story.
