Epi4 : 日本昔話-干支【Japanese Podcast】

1]There are eleven vowels and thirty three consonants in Hindi, whereas there are thirteen vowels and thirty three consonants in Sanskrit.
2]There are three Numbers in Sanskrit. They are Singular, Dual and Plural. Only more than two are considered Plural. In Hindi, there are only two numbers. They are Singular and Plural.
3]There are three genders in Sanskrit. They are Masculine, Feminine and Neutral. In Hindi there are just Masculine and Feminine genders.
4] In Hindi, the verb changes according to person, number and gender. In Sanskrit, the verb changes according to person and number only. It does not change according to gender.
5] In Hindi the last syllable of the word is pronounced half, whereas in Sanskrit, it is pronounced completely unless marked by ‘Halant’ . Halant is a symbol to pronounce the syllable half.
6]There are only two types of vowels in Hindi. They are Short and long vowels [Hrasva and Deergha svaras]. In Sanskrit, there are three types of vowels; Hrasva, Deergha and Pluta. Pluta is an elongated vowel. Eg: Raaaamaaa, Krishnaaaa, Aagachchaaaa, etc
7]One remarkable difference between the two is with regard to case endings. Unlike Hindi, Sanskrit is an inflecting language.
8]Because Sanskrit is an inflecting language, word order does not matter at all. In Hindi, word order matters.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想给大家介绍一下中国的社交媒体。
开始之前，我先让大家猜一下这几个名字分别是国外的哪个社交媒体。第一个、脸书；第二个、抖音；第三个、推特；第四个、油管。揭晓答案啦！第一个、脸书是facebook，face是脸，book是书，很直接的翻译。第二个、抖音是tiktok，在tiktok出现之前，中国就有抖音了。可以说tiktok是抖音的国际版本，不过这两个软件的内容是独立的，你在tiktok看不到抖音上的视频。第三个，推特是twitter，这个是按照发音翻译的。第四个、油管是youtube，这个翻译很有意思，you像汉字“油”的发音，tube中文是管，所以是发音加意思的翻译。你可能会问，instagram中文叫什么？其实没有中文的翻译，我们一般就叫ins。
那我们正式开始介绍中国的社交媒体软件吧。像脸书这样可以跟你认识的家人朋友们一起互动的软件，中国应该就是微信了。不过说起微信，它现在可不是一个简单的社交媒体软件，我们生活的方方面面都离不开它。除了用来和家人朋友，甚至是工作相关的人聊天，以及发照片视频分享自己的日常，我们也用来叫外卖，订酒店机票，预约医生等等。
抖音大家应该很熟悉了，跟tiktok差不多，用来看短视频。现在除了抖音，大家也经常在微信的“视频号”看短视频。跟推特类似的中国软件叫微博，很多年轻人喜欢在上面发表自己的想法。像油管一样可以看长视频的软件我们也有，叫bilibili，也叫b站。那像ins一样的软件有没有呢？当然有，这个软件叫小红书。在小红书你可以查到各种各样的信息，所以对年轻人来说，小红书也像一个搜索引擎。顺便说一下，国外最常用的搜索引擎是谷歌，也就是google，在中国我们一般用百度。
你每天用得最多的社交软件是什么？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。
