私は子供の時に親に「ごはんできた？」とよく聞いていました。このフレーズはごはんの準備が終わったかどうかを聞くときによく使います。まだごはんの準備が終わっていなければ、「まだだよ」「もうすぐだよ」、準備が終わっていれば「できたよ」と親は答えます。
「できた」のここでの意味は英語のreadyという意味です。
他にも「レポートできた？」「準備できた？」など日本人はこのフレーズをよく使います。
また、「テストできた？」と友達に聞かれたことがありますか？このフレーズはテストが終わった後に友達同士でテストがうまくいったかどうかを聞き合う時によく使います。もし、みなさんが、「テストどうだった？できた？」と友達に聞かれたら、「けっこうできたよ」「あんまりできなかった」「全然できなかった」と答えることができます。
このふたつの「できた」も日本人が会話の中でよく使います。よかったら、私のレッスンに来て一緒に練習しましょう！
「できた」の他の使い方は「ジブリパークができた」というエピソードで説明しています。まだ聞いていない人はそちらも聞いてみてください。

準備：じゅんび　preparation
聞き合う：ききあう　ask each other
けっこうできた：It went pretty well

Have you ever hurt your neck while watching TV and wondered if it's been mounted too high? Well, you're not the only one. In fact, there are hundreds of thousands of people who discuss the subject on Reddit every day.

From breaking news to fandoms, and from memes to life's biggest questions, Reddit is a website that encourages people to discuss any subject that interests them.

The platform has over 100,000 communities, or "subreddits," that are created by users. And a subreddit about TV placement is in the top 1% of popular communities.

The community known as "TV Too High" is among the website's largest, with over 200,000 members. Here, photos of TVs in homes, hotels and other spaces are posted and often met with hundreds of comments discussing whether or not the TV has been placed at a good height.

One photo posted to the community in September 2024 showed a TV mounted above a door, with one user commenting, "Spiders on the ceiling fan have a great view."

Another photo showing a TV mounted above a staircase received over 500 comments, with one user saying, "This might be the worst one I've ever seen."

But is there a perfect height for a TV?

One user posted a guide based on advice from the subreddit. It included things like: "If when standing the TV is at eye level, IT IS TOO HIGH," and, "If the TV is angled down, IT IS TOO HIGH."

Another user posted a photo of a guide from a TV manufacturer. It said the best height for a TV when viewing while sitting down is 107 centimeters from the center of the TV screen to the floor — although some users said this was still too high!
