INCONTRI IN CITTÀ

Here is a short, formal dialogue that takes place in a coffeeshop.

Dialogue 1. The Chair (Scaunul)

what is the difference between 不 and 没有？


不 (bù) and 没有 (méi yǒu) are both negation words in Chinese, but they are used in slightly different ways.

不 (bù) is an adverb that negates the verb or adjective that follows it. It is used to express "not" or "no."

For example:

我不喜欢吃苹果 (wǒ bù xǐ huān chī píng guǒ) - I don't like eating apples

他不是医生 (tā bù shì yī shēng) - He is not a doctor

没有 (méi yǒu) is used to negate the verb in the past tense or to express "not have." It is often used in combination with a verb in the past tense to indicate that something did not happen.

For example:

我没有吃早饭 (wǒ méi yǒu chī zǎo fàn) - I didn't eat breakfast

他没有去过北京 (tā méi yǒu qù guo běi jīng) - He has not been to Beijing

Is reading still necessary? Are we actually witnessing a decline in the habit, and if so, does that really signal a drop in our collective intellect?

こんにちは！Atsushiです。
今回も和食文化について、話します。
今日は日本の魚の料理は寿司や刺身が人気がありますが、焼き魚もとてもおいしいです。僕は今北海道に住んでいるので、ほっけ、鮭などを食べる機会が増えました。

ということで、焼き魚の食べ方がありますので、簡単に話しますね！

焼 き 魚 は 、 頭 か ら 尾尻の方へ 、 上 の身か ら 下 へ 食 べ ます。

上 の 身 を 食 べ た 後にひ っ く り返して食べるのはマナーとして良くない、とされています。 

上の身を食べた後、 魚の頭を押さえて 魚の身と骨の間に箸を入れ、 骨をはがします。その骨は、 器の向こう側に置きます。

と言いましたが、この手順で食べている人はどれぐらいいるかは分かりません。あんまり人と一緒に焼き魚を1尾ずつ食べる機会はないですね。僕自身も、日本人として、この手順を守りながら食べるようにします！

日本に旅行へ来た時に、焼き魚を食べる時があれば、ぜひこのPodcastを聴きながら食べてみてください！

ということで、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！
