Lily's Chinese 对话

20240125少年闰土

ちょっと… (Chotto...)
Meaning "a little," but when said with a pause, it usually implies "It’s a bit difficult" or "I’m not really up for it."

Example:
A: "週末に映画を見に行かない？" (Shūmatsu ni eiga o mi ni ikanai? / Shall we go see a movie this weekend?)
B: "ちょっと..." (Chotto... / [Subtle 'no'])

考えておきます (Kangaete okimasu)
This phrase translates to "I’ll think about it," but it often means "I’m not sure" or "probably not." It’s a polite way of dodging the question without rejecting it outright.

難しいですね (Muzukashii desu ne)
Literally means "It’s difficult," but it’s commonly used as a soft "no." Instead of saying they can’t do something, people will say it’s difficult, implying they can’t or won’t.

最美古诗词Chinese poetry

九月九日忆山东兄弟

Stoisisme, en av de fire store tankeskolene som ble etablert i hellenistisk tid, ble grunnlagt i den gamle agoraen i Athen av Zenon fra Citium rundt 300 f.Kr. Stoikerne trodde at praksis av dyd er tilstrekkelig for å oppnå eudaimonia, et vel levd og blomstrende liv. Stoikerne identifiserte veien til å oppnå dette med et liv der man praktiserer visse dyder i hverdagen, som mot eller måtehold, og lever i samsvar med naturen.

A 30-day positive affirmation journey with Rose

Day 24

Cette semaine, c’est la chandeleur, quarante jour après noël on célèbre la fête des chandelles et de la lumière, en préparant des crêpes ! Cette fête et ses traditions sont très mélangées entre origines païennes et origines chrétiennes c’est pourquoi cette fête s’accompagne souvent de son lot de superstitions. Pourquoi fait-on des crêpes ? Tout simplement, parce que leur forme ronde et leur couleur dorée représente le soleil et sa lumière. Si quelques-uns d’entre nous se contentent juste de savourer une crêpe ce jour-là, d’autres continuent de respecter la tradition de retourner la première crêpe en la faisant sauter de la main droite en tenant une pièce dans l’autre main. La crêpe doit retomber dans la poêle et on place ensuite cette première crêpe au-dessus d’une armoire. Oui oui, tout ça est censé vous apporter richesse et prospérité ! Et quoi quel est ton pêché mignon ?
