Oi! Meu nome é João.
Eu trabalho em um supermercado. Eu sou caixa.
Eu começo a trabalhar às 8 da manhã. Eu termino às 5 da tarde.
Eu gosto do meu trabalho. Eu vejo muitas pessoas.
Meus colegas são legais. Nós trabalhamos juntos. Nós deixamos o supermercado limpo e arrumado.
Ao meio-dia, eu almoço. Eu como um sanduíche e uma fruta.
No fim do dia, eu estou cansado, mas feliz. Eu gosto de ler livros e andar no parque no meu tempo livre.

眉- Méi

 "目" - mù - eye, the upper part of 眉- Méi could refer to "毛" - máo", meaning "hair" or "fur." 
The combination represents the hairs above the eyes, hence "eyebrows." 
This formation suggests the character's meaning directly and visually connects it to the facial feature it represents.

用法 (Usage)

 As a noun, "眉" directly refers to the eyebrows. 
 眉毛 - méi mao - eyebrows

例如 (For example): 
他的眉毛很浓。- Tā de méi mao hěn nóng  
(His eyebrows are very thick.)

However, it is often used metaphorically in Chinese to denote expressions or emotions conveyed by the movement of the eyebrows, such as surprise, concern, or anger.

For instance, 眉头- méi tóu - the inner brow, refers to the area where the eyebrows begin, typically located above the inner corners of the eyes.

For example, "皱眉头" - zhòu méi tóu, means "to furrow one's brow," indicating worry or deep thought..

Idiomatic Expressions: "眉- Méi" appears in various idioms that use eyebrows metaphorically to talk about emotions or aesthetic qualities.

例如 (For example): 
眉开眼笑 - méi kāi yǎn xiào - lit. "eyebrows rise and eyes smile," meaning to smile joyfully or beam with happiness

眉飞色舞 - méi fēi sè wǔ - lit. "eyebrows fly and colors dance," used to describe vivid, expressive facial gestures of excitement or happiness

Metaphorical Usage: In poetic or artistic contexts, "眉" can metaphorically relate to things that resemble the shape or curve of eyebrows.

例如：(For example): 
山的轮廓好像一道眉形。-Shān de lún kuò hǎo xiàng yí dào méi xíng 。
(The outline of the mountain resembles the shape of an eyebrow.)

中学生時代の部活動

私は中学生の時、陸上部（りくじょう　ぶ）に所属（しょぞく）していた。入った理由は、私がクラスの女子の中で足が一番速く、友達に誘（さそ）われたからだ。練習を始めた種目（しゅもく）は、中距離（ちゅうきょり）の1500m走だ。
毎日放課後はトレーニングで6～10km（キロメートル）走り、土日も部活動に励（はげ）んでいた。足の爪（つめ）がよく内出血（ない　しゅっけつ）していたほどだ。いつも部活が終わるのは18時ごろで毎日ヘトヘトだったが、帰宅途中に友達とコロッケを買い食（ぐ）いするのが至福（しふく）のひと時だった。

北海道Hokkaido生活 for Japanese learners

〈#160〉雪まつり1,750,000人来場！

Have you ever heard the phrase, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do"?

It means you should follow the customs of the place you're visiting or the people you're with. So in Japan, for example, you should take off your shoes before entering someone's home, because it's the custom.

However, people often shorten this phrase to just, "When in Rome."

Phrases like this, where part of the sentence is not spoken but the meaning is still clear, are called "anapodotons" ("an-uh-PAW-duh-tuns"). People don't say the second part of the phrase, but everyone knows what they mean.

But why do people leave phrases unfinished?

According to Instagram linguist Adam Aleksic, it's because we like to save time and effort when talking. By saying less, we can still share the full idea, as long as others know the rest of the phrase.

Anapodotons are very common in English. Let's look at some more now!

"Speak of the devil" is something people say when someone appears just as you were talking about them. The full phrase is, "Speak of the devil, and he shall appear." But it doesn't mean you think the person who appeared is a bad person!

"It takes a village" is another example. The full phrase, "It takes a village to raise a child," means raising children is easier with help from others. It can also be used to talk about teamwork or group tasks.

"If you can't stand the heat" comes from, "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen." This means if something is difficult or stressful, you should either deal with it or stop complaining and leave!

Anapodotons may be short, but they have a lot of meaning!
