Chillchat (Learn Chinese and Chill)

互联网词汇101 Internet-lingo

POSTAL CLERK: What can I do for you today?
CAROL: I need to mail this package to New York, please.
POSTAL CLERK: OK, let’s see how much it weighs … it’s about 
five pounds. If you send it express, it will get there 
tomorrow. Or you can send it priority and it will get 
there by Saturday.
CAROL: Saturday is fine. How much will that be?
POSTAL CLERK: $11.35 [eleven thirty-five]. Do you need anything else?
CAROL: Oh, yeah! I almost forgot. I need a book of stamps, too.
POSTAL CLERK: OK, your total comes to $20.35
[twenty dollars and thirty-five cents].


LANGUAGE NOTES
• What can I do for you today? Notice that this question starts with “What,” so the 
intonation drops at the end of the question.
• Or you can send it priority … Notice the stress on “or,” which emphasizes that there is 
another possibility.
• $11.35 ... $20.35 Notice the two different ways the postal clerk says the price. First he 
says eleven thirty-five (without the words dollars and cents), then he says twenty dollars 
and thirty-five cents.
• Oh, yeah! is an expression used here to mean “I just remembered something.” It’s often 
followed by “I almost forgot.”
• Your total comes to … is a way of saying “the cost is ….”

Haven't you seen a 4 year old boy?        یه پسر بچه چهار ساله ندیدین؟  

Un pericoloso criminale, il Camaleonte, appena evaso dallla prigione, vuole vendicarsi dell'ispettore Malvisi che lo ha catturato alcuni anni prima. Il Camaleonte è un abile trasformista, quindi, l'ispettore Malvisi e il sergente Arimanno devono fare molta attenzione: il malvivente potrebbe prendere le sembianze di qualsiasi individuo...                                           
Come sempre, scrivete il nome del colpevole nei commenti.

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を楽しく勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

ぼくの日常生活の話を聞くことで、日本語のリスニングをよくしたり、新しい言葉を知ってもらえたらいいなと思います。

みなさんお元気でしょうか。
今日もトルコからPodcastを録っています。


今日は、N3の漢字をやります！
礼をやります！　

音読み　れい
訓読み　うやまーう、のり、送り仮名はう

意味は、決まった形、うやまう、などがあります。

例えば、

・礼儀ーれいぎ　社会で決まっている人の行動、作法。

・失礼ーしつれい　礼儀と反対のふるまい、行動。

・礼賛ーらいさん　人をあがめること。

・謝礼ーしゃれい　感謝を表す金品、言葉。

・返礼ーへんれい　受けた礼に返す礼、金品。

こんな感じですね。
これを使って例文を作っていきましょう！

・彼はいつも礼儀正しい人です。

・その言葉の使い方は失礼だと思います。

・先人の偉業を礼賛する。

・大変お世話になったので謝礼として、こちらをお渡しします。

・ふるさと納税の返礼品は北海道のものが人気です。


こんな感じです。

今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！
ではまた！
