A Visit to a Typical English Café

L' omicidio del noto matematico Philip March si propone come un caso difficile per l'ispettore Malvisi. Chi è l'assassino?

Certamente uno dei suoi colleghi, invidiosi della popolarità ottenuta dal professor March. I sospetti sono sette: Debora Livi, Ines Lai, Carla Silvi, Ilaria Vieri, Teresa Mari, Elena Gani e Roberto Mei. L'unico indizio è il numero 13, scritto dal professor March in punto di morte.

Ma qual è il legame tra tale numero e uno dei sospetti?  L'ispettore Malvisi lo ha capito e tu, caro ascoltatore, sarai altrettanto bravo?

Mettiti alla prova e scrivi la soluzione del caso nei commenti, spiegando anche il motivo della tua scelta.

Se io fossi Sherlock Holmes

Il problema del numero 13

Você está familiarizado com as regras do plural? Este episódio tem por objetivo fazer com que você se sinta mais preparado ao utilizar as regrinhas dessa parte da gramática que é fundamental para a desenvoltura de sua fluência. 

O português assim como outras línguas românicas tem o plural como um papel importante na fala e escrita. A maior parte das classes de palavras são pluralizadas, como verbo, pronome, substantivo, adjetivo, numeral e artigo. 

Um dos aspectos interessantes do plural é que em alguns casos, a palavra poderá mudar em sua pronúncia ao pluralizá-la. Exemplo: ao pronunciar a palavra ovo no singular, o som da primeira vogal é fechado, porém ao pluralizá-las teremos o som aberto, ovos. Podemos utilizar essa regra com várias palavras terminadas em O, como: corpo/corpos, esforço/esforços, fogo/fogos, olho/olhos, osso/ossos, posto/postos, gostoso/gostosos (nesse caso, percebe-se que é na segunda sílaba que muda a pronuncia de aberta pra fechada) e tijolo/tijolos.

POSTAL CLERK: What can I do for you today?
CAROL: I need to mail this package to New York, please.
POSTAL CLERK: OK, let’s see how much it weighs … it’s about 
five pounds. If you send it express, it will get there 
tomorrow. Or you can send it priority and it will get 
there by Saturday.
CAROL: Saturday is fine. How much will that be?
POSTAL CLERK: $11.35 [eleven thirty-five]. Do you need anything else?
CAROL: Oh, yeah! I almost forgot. I need a book of stamps, too.
POSTAL CLERK: OK, your total comes to $20.35
[twenty dollars and thirty-five cents].


LANGUAGE NOTES
• What can I do for you today? Notice that this question starts with “What,” so the 
intonation drops at the end of the question.
• Or you can send it priority … Notice the stress on “or,” which emphasizes that there is 
another possibility.
• $11.35 ... $20.35 Notice the two different ways the postal clerk says the price. First he 
says eleven thirty-five (without the words dollars and cents), then he says twenty dollars 
and thirty-five cents.
• Oh, yeah! is an expression used here to mean “I just remembered something.” It’s often 
followed by “I almost forgot.”
• Your total comes to … is a way of saying “the cost is ….”

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を楽しく勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

ぼくの日常生活の話を聞くことで、日本語のリスニングをよくしたり、新しい言葉を知ってもらえたらいいなと思います。


みなさんお元気でしょうか。
今日もジョージアでPodcastを録っています。

前回のPodcastでは、3.11について話しました。
2011年の3/11、東日本大震災がありました。

それまでも日本は地震が多い国でしたが、この震災をきっかけにさらにいろんなことが変わりました。

建物の耐震基準を強化しました。
耐震は地震に耐える、ということです。

既存の建物の耐震性の診断と改修が促進されました。
今ある建物が大丈夫か調べます。問題があればなおします。

防災意識が高まりました。
防災訓練を真剣にしたり、家に水などを備蓄、置いておいたりして、いつ震災があってもいいように準備をします。


地震と聞けば怖い、と思いますが、大きな地震でなければ、日本は全く問題がない、安全な国です。

安心して日本へ旅行してくださいね！

ということで、今回は以上です。

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！
