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。

10月31日はハロウィンですね。

日本語では、カタカナで
ハロウィンや、ハロウィーンといいます。

日本では、わかい人や子どもはハロウィンを楽しむことが多いです。

たとえば、USJ、ユニバーサルスタジオジャパンでは、
ハロウィンのイベントがあります。

1年で、いちばん人気のあるイベントだと思います。

東京(とうきょう)ディズニーランドもおなじですね。

ディズニーランドでも、1年でいちばん人が多いと思います。

私も昔(むかし)はハロウィンのイベントに行っていました。

でもいまは、とにかく人が多いので、
行かなくなりました。

日本の渋谷(しぶや)では、仮装(かそう)した人があつまります。

"仮装する"とは、ほかの何かに、かわることです。

お寿司(すし)になったり、
ワンピースのルフィになったり・・

"仮装する"といいます。

「今年のハロウィンは何に仮装するの？」

「じつは、キャプテンアメリカの仮装がしたいんだよね。」

といいます。

ほかにも、

「わぁ、かわいい、ねこの仮装！」

「え、ねこじゃなくて、ピカチュウに仮装したつもりなんやけど・・」

といいます。

今日はカタカナがたくさんありましたね。

ぜひ、くりかえし聞いて、声に出してください。

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。
