In Japan with Jake #1 - Introduction

Một hôm Thỏ mẹ dặn Thỏ con: 
-" Thỏ con của mẹ, con ở nhà chớ đi chơi xa con nhé"
-" Vâng ạ, con ở nhà, con không đi chơi xa"
Nhưng Bươm bướm bay đến, Bươm bướm gọi:
-" Thỏ con ơi, ra vườn kia chơi đi. Ở đấy có cỏ này, có hoa này, thích lắm"
Thỏ con liền chạy theo Bươm bướm. Thỏ con đi chơi mãi, chơi mãi, xa, thật xa.
Thế rồi Thỏ con quên cả lối về nhà. Thỏ con khóc hu hu và gọi:
-" Mẹ ơi, mẹ ơi"
Bác Gấu đi qua, thấy Thỏ con khóc, Bác dắt Thỏ con về nhà. Thỏ mẹ chạy ra ôm Thỏ con.
Thỏ con nói với mẹ:
-" Mẹ, mẹ dặn con ở nhà, con lại đi chơi xa, con xin lỗi mẹ"

Los diminutivos y aumentativos forman parte de nuestro léxico habitual. Son palabras derivadas que utilizamos cuando queremos resaltar las propiedades de un objeto o fenómeno sin necesidad de utilizar adjetivos o descripciones. Por ejemplo, en vez de decir que "una casa es pequeña" podemos decir que es una "casita".

¿Qué son los diminutivos?
Utilizados en el argot popular como expresión de cariño o afecto ("muchas gracias, chiquitita"), aunque también pueden usarse en el sentido despectivo ("tenía que hablar el señorito"). Según la Real Academia Española de la Lengua, los diminutivos “expresan disminución, atenuación o intensidad. Se trata de sufijos que modifican el significado de una palabra, usualmente un sustantivo, para darle un tono de menor importancia o tamaño.

¿Qué se entiende por aumentativo?
Los aumentativos no son más que aquellos sufijos que “expresan un aumento, intensidad o exceso por el vocablo al que se une”, según la Real Academia Española de la Lengua. Normalmente, se forman añadiendo el sufijo al final de la palabra para matizar su significado y designar a un objeto de mayor tamaño, algo grande o de mayor importancia.

〈#49〉4月29日金曜日　道の駅に子どものための施設

Man 1: Several years ago, I was in a car accident that left me with a back injury. As a computer programmer, I am still able to do my job, but I often have to take painkillers. When the pain gets particularly bad, I sometimes have to lie down on my back for a while until it goes away because sitting up really hurts. When we were in the office, I would worry that my colleagues would see me taking pills. Since we’ve been working from home, it has been much better. I can go and see my physical therapist more often too. I don’t have to worry as much and if I need to lie down for a little while to help my back, I can. When we were in the office, I’d sometimes be in a lot of pain but didn’t feel like I could say anything.

Woman: I have suffered from depression for a long time. Most of the time I manage it, but I often feel very nervous. Working in an office was really hard as I was always scared that I might panic and my colleagues would wonder why I was acting strangely. Working at home has been so much better for me as I don’t have to talk to so many people and I can have a relaxed environment and play peaceful music. Management is talking about going back to the office soon and I can already feel a lot of anxiety about it. I’m worried that I will not be able to hide that I’m depressed and people will judge me.

Man 2: I’m quite deaf in one ear. I don’t like to mention it when I’m at work because I feel as though there is often a stigma around disabilities. I worry that people will treat me differently. The problem is, sometimes I don’t hear when people are talking to me and then they think I’m ignoring them or I’m not listening. Working at home has been great for me because all of our communication has been online or video calls and I can wear headphones like everyone else. I’m not looking forward to going back to the office and I don’t see the point as I can do my job perfectly well from home.
