おはようございます。日本語だんだんポットキャストのゆかりです。

きのうは、コンビニの袋(ふくろ)の話をしました。

袋が有料(ゆうりょう)なのは、コンビニだけではありません。
スーパーやデパートでも、有料です。

でも、日本はトイレは無料ですね。

無料(むりょう)‥つまり、お金をはらわくていいです。
０円です！

トイレが無料なのはうれしいです。

そういえば、コンビニにもトイレがあります。

コンビニで、トイレに行きたいときは、

"トイレをかりてもいいですか？"

とききます。

"すみません、トイレをかりてもいいですか？"

"はい、どうぞ。"

といいます。

トイレをかりてもいいですか？のほかには、

"トイレをつかってもいいですか？"

"トイレをかしてください"

といいます。

「トイレに行ってもいいですか？」
は言いません。

これは、学校で先生に
「トイレにいってもいいですか？」と、

ききますね。

私はコンビニでトイレをかりるとき、
お水やガムなど、何かを買うことにしています。

もちろん、買わなくても大丈夫です。

私の気持ちです。

では、今日も最後まで聞いてくれて、だんだん、です。

また明日！

Dialogue Reading: 
👮🏻Officer: License and registration, please.
🙎🏼‍♂️Driver: Here’s my license. May I get my registration out of the glove compartment?
👮🏻Officer: Yes. Do you know why I pulled you over?
🙎🏼‍♂️Driver: No, I don’t.
👮🏻Officer: You were going 70 miles an hour, Mr. Lee.
🙎🏼‍♂️Driver: I thought I was going the speed limit, ma’am.
👮🏻Officer: Do you know what the speed limit is here?
🙎🏼‍♂️Driver: I believe it is 65 miles per hour. That is the last sign I saw.
👮🏻Officer: A road crew is painting the lines today. The posted speed limit in the construction zone is 50 miles per hour.
🙎🏼‍♂️Driver: I understand, officer.
👮🏻Officer: Are you aware that the fine for speeding in a construction zone is doubled?
🙎🏼‍♂️Driver: No, I was not aware of that.
👮🏻Officer: Road signs are posted for your family’s safety. Is everyone buckled up back there?
🙎🏼‍♂️Driver: Yes, they are wearing seat belts. I’m sorry they are upset. I have never been pulled over before.
👮🏻Officer: Good. I’m going to write you a ticket for going 10 miles over the speed limit today. Next time you won’t get off so easy. Is that clear, Mr. Lee?
🙎🏼‍♂️Driver: Yes, ma’am.
