日本ではペットのことをうちのアイドルと言います。家族のアイドル的な存在だからそんな風に言うんだと思います。大抵の場合はペットを可愛がって甘やかしたり、至れり尽くせりする人が多いと思います。私の家族も同様で、少しでも役に立ちそうとか健康に良さそうと思った物には惜しみなくお金を使っていますし、ソムちんのためならとみんな協力します。

今日はうちのアイドルソムちんを紹介します。ソムちんは約1年前に我が家にやってきたポメチワ(ポメラニアン✖️チワワ)の女の子です。母の一目惚れで我が家の一員になりました。本当の名前はラルですが、私はあだ名としてタイ語でオレンジ🍊という意味のソムと呼んでいます。

実は私は昔も犬を飼っていたことがあったので犬を飼う喜びも大変さも分かっていました。(子供の時から飼い始めて、最後は一人暮らししていた家で看取りました。)だから、家族で唯一飼うことに反対しました。他の家族は「良いじゃん、良いじゃん」と大賛成でしたが、私はうちの家族には時間がなさすぎると感じていました。そんな中で家族が私の反対を押し切って迎えたのがソムちんです。飼い始めた時は家族はできると言ったのに全然お世話しきれず、私もたくさん協力したし、よく家族と言い合いになったり、喧嘩したりしました。今は1年経ってそれぞれの役割ができて、落ち着きました。

さて、そんな経緯で家族になったソムちんですが、性格が強いと家族から言われています。例えばおもちゃを引っ張り合いしているときにどんどんエスカレートして人に噛みついてきたり、赤ちゃんぐずるように眠くなると攻撃的になってしまうことがよくあるんです。元々ポメラニアンもチワワも性格がキツいと聞いたので納得です。家族には負けず嫌いなところと眠いと不機嫌になるところが私によく似ていると言われています😅

好きなことはおやつと散歩です。おやつが大好きでパッケージが開く音がするとキラキラした目で釘付けになります。時々、ご飯を食べないでボイコットし、おやつをもらおうとします。そんな時、私は絶対にあげませんが、家族は甘やかすので時々あげているみたいです。家族がよくおやつをあげるので私はおやつをあげませんが、代わりにたくさん散歩に連れていったり、運動🥎させるようにしています。私が散歩に行くと1時間くらいは歩いたり、公園で遊んだりするので帰ってくるとソムちんはクタクタになっています。その夜もよく寝てくれるので私は日本にいるときは頻繁にソムちんを連れ出すようにしています。ソムちんが大人しくなるので家族にも感謝されることが多いです笑

Un cervo, dopo aver bevuto, rimane ad osservare la sua immagine riflessa nell'acqua: ammira le sue corna, grandi e lunghe, ma disprezza le sue gambe, a suo dire, troppo fragili e sottili. Ma il pericolo è in agguato e saranno proprio le sue corna a condurlo alla morte.

Agora que você já está craque em utilizar o pronome Te, vamos ao Lhe! O pronome “lhe” é usado para substituir o complemento de um verbo indireto, ou seja, um verbo que exige a preposição (a, para ) como antecedente na terceira pessoa do singular, seja ela qual for: Ele, Ela ou Você. Exemplo: Paguei a José. Quem paga, paga alguma coisa A alguém: Paguei-lhe Paguei a Bruna. Paguei-lhe Exatamente igual, não importa se o final da frase, se o complemento for masculino ou feminino. O pronome lhe serve para os dois gêneros! Mais exemplos: Eu dei um conselho para você. Querendo substituir “para você”. Eu lhe dei um conselho Nós pedimos uma ajuda a ele. Substituindo “a ele”. Nós lhe pedimos uma ajuda. Eles prometeram os céus a ela. Substituiremos “a ela”. Eles lhe prometeram os céus! É possível pluralizar: Paguei aos meus amigos. Paguei-lhes Uma pausinha para explicar a Pronúncia do Lhe: O som de L e H pronunciados juntos, nós chamamos de dígrafo - quando uma palavra tem consoantes que perdem o som próprio, formando, assim, um único som.

This phrase is also widespread in the workplace. You can use it when you need to talk to your colleague but don’t want to bother them too much. For example:
