今回は、「猫」にまつわる面白い日本語をいくつか紹介しました。

レッスンで「猫の手も借りたい」という言葉が出てきたとき、生徒さんが「猫の手？役に立つの？」ときょとんとしたことがきっかけです。

「猫の手も借りたいほど忙しい！」という言葉の意味や、「猫舌」、**「猫をかぶる」**など、猫から生まれたユニークな表現について、私の個人的なエピソードを交えながらお話ししています。

日本語をもっと楽しく学びたい方、表現の幅を広げたい方、ぜひ聴いてみてください！

Léo, le petit chat, joue avec sa balle. 🎾
Il court, il saute… mais oh non ! 😲
La balle roule sous le canapé !

Léo regarde à gauche… il regarde à droite…
mais il ne trouve pas la balle.

Son copain Baguette, le chien, arrive. 🐶
— "Qu'est-ce que tu fais, Léo ?"
— "Je cherche ma balle !"

Baguette et Léo cherchent partout ! 🔍
Sous la table, derrière la chaise…
toujours pas de balle.

Soudain, Baguette regarde sous le canapé.

Léo est content ! 🥳

Léo, the little cat, plays with his ball. 🎾
He runs, he jumps… but oh no! 😲
The ball rolls under the couch!

Léo looks to the left… he looks to the right…
but he cannot find the ball.

His friend Baguette, the dog, arrives. 🐶
— "What are you doing, Léo?"
— "I look for my ball!"

Baguette and Léo search everywhere! 🔍
Under the table, behind the chair…
still no ball.

Suddenly, Baguette looks under the couch.
— "Léo, look! It's there!"

Léo is happy! 🥳
— "Thank you, Baguette! Now, let's play!"

In questo episodio parlo di uno dei tanto stereotipi sugli italiani: L'essere "mammoni"!!!
Se è sicuramente vero che abbiamo un legame fortissimo con la nostra famiglia e in particolare con la mamma, è anche vero che non bisogna fare l'errore di valutare aspetti culturali come questo con una scala di valori che appartiene ad una cultura diversa. Buon ascolto e buono studio a tutti!!! CIAO MAMMA 🖐  :)
