おはようございます。日本語だんだんポットキャストのゆかりです。

きのうは、はじめて私の"おいっこ"に会った話をしました。

もう7キロあるので、ちょっとおもいですが、
ずっとだっこしていたい！と思いました。

今日は、家族(かぞく)の呼び方(よびかた)、についてのお話しです。

家族・・私はこどものころ、4人家族でした。

お父さん(おとうさん)
お母さん(おかあさん)
弟(おとうと)
私(わたし)です。

私は小さい時、お父さんのことを
"パパ"とよんでいました。

お母さんのことは
"おかあさん"とよんでいました。

日本では、お父さん、お母さんの呼び方が多いです。

パパ、ママとよぶ人もいます。

私の場合(ばあい)は、
パパ、お母さんという呼び方です。

ちょっと、ふしぎですね。

大人になっても、呼び方は同じです。

でも、家の外では、

お父さん、お母さん、と呼びます。

また、お父さんの話を誰かにするときは、

"私の父"(わたしのちち)

"私の母"(わたしのはは)

といいます。

みなさんは、家族のことをなんとよびますか？

では、今日も最後まで聞いてくれて、だんだん、です。

また明日！

Prendre du recul 

Om att mataffärer slänger saker som kunder vill köpa, om mina tankar kring detta. Det måste finnas sätt som det går att rädda mat förutom "kort datum - quick sale" det måste förbättras kring lagar och regler som gör att mer mat kan räddas!! Sånt otroligt slöseri med jordens resurser för att bara i slutändan landa i en container. 

Svensk youtuber som dumpster divear mycket, ganska informativt för att se hur mycket perfekt mat som slängs:

這次是去海生館過夜，超酷的！雖然場地有點舊、「住宿」陽春，但確實是個非常特別的經驗！
Spending the night at the National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium was so cool! The facilities were a bit old and the “accommodation” was pretty basic, but it was definitely a very special experience!
