My friend Carol and I decided to have a short break at the seaside for a few days. We made a reservation at a hostel in South Wales where the prices were very reasonable. We were looking forward to a few days of sunbathing, seeing the sights and eating delicious food. However, it turned out that the hostel was in a very remote location with no beaches, cafes or facilities nearby. Seeing the heavy rain, we headed home the following day.

Phrases in English for Language Learners

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。

今日は、N3の漢字をやります！
未をやります！　

音読み　み
訓読み　いまーだ　送り仮名は、だ

意味は、まだ、いまだに〜しない、とかです。

例えば、

・未成年ーみせいねん　成年じゃない

・未来ーみらい　まだ来ていない時

・未完成ーみかんせい　まだ完成していないこと

・未明ーみめい　ニュースなどでは、0時〜3時のこと

・未遂ーみすい　計画がとげられていないこと

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！

・未成年はお酒も飲めないし、タバコも吸えません

・未来のことを考えるとワクワクする

・人は未完成であることが楽しいと思います

・11/21未明のできごとでした

・その男は殺人未遂で逮捕されました


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！
