In this episode, I reflect on the personal reasons behind my decision to study Japanese. From anime to video games, from Shintoism to sound aesthetics, I explore the many cultural threads that shaped my motivation. It’s a story of curiosity, immersion, and rediscovery through language.

Impersonal verbs are verbs that do not use a specific subject, but instead use the generic subject it. They’re often called “weather verbs” or “meteorological verbs” because they’re commonly used to describe the weather, like in the impersonal verb examples “it’s raining” or “it’s snowing.” 

 Words and phrases with asterisks mean that they are not always impersonal, depending on the meaning.

北海道Hokkaido生活 for Japanese learners

〈#14〉2022年3月11日金曜日　高校生がお弁当について考えた

Halo! Bagaimana akhir minggu kalian? Saya harap semua baik ya! 
Saya punya cerita tentang kamera saya. Saya sudah punya kamera itu dari 5 tahun lalu. Fungsi dan hasil fotonya juga bagus. Tapi, tiba-tiba hari Sabtu lalu, waktu saya memakainya, kamera itu tidak bisa berfungsi! Jadi, saya memutuskan pergi ke toko reparasi kamera untuk coba mereparasinya. Saya kaget, biaya reparasi kamera itu sangat mahal! Biayanya hampir sama dengan biaya membeli kamera baru. 

Lalu, saya bertanya apakah bisa tukar tambah kamera saya dengan kamera baru. “Tukar tambah” di Bahasa Inggris artinya “trade in”, dan di Bahasa Jepang artinya “下取り”. Ya, akhirnya saya bisa menukar kamera saya, dan menambah uang untuk mendapat kamera baru. Saya senang!

Apakah kalian pernah melakukan tukar tambah? Tukar tambah HP lama dengan HP baru? Tukar tambah mobil lama dengan mobil baru? Tapi, jangan tukar tambah pacar lama dengan pacar baru loh! Hahaha…. Ok, hari ini sampai di sini ya. Sampai jumpa lagi! 



Akhir minggu

Tukar tambah
