The difference between two verbs: to allow and to permit.

What's the difference?

Allow VS Permit

Bare Naked Ladies are a Toronto, Canada rock group popular in the late 1990s and the early part of the new century.  In episode 1, I commented that food, blue, and blew all had the same vowel sound.  Indeed, bare (meaning naked or basic) and bear (the animal) are pronounced the same. In this episode, I am going to guide you through (not throw) the E ear and A air sounds.
Here are the lists of the words in this lesson.  Notice that the spelling of the vowel sound is not consistent.

ちょっと… (Chotto...)
Meaning "a little," but when said with a pause, it usually implies "It’s a bit difficult" or "I’m not really up for it."

Example:
A: "週末に映画を見に行かない？" (Shūmatsu ni eiga o mi ni ikanai? / Shall we go see a movie this weekend?)
B: "ちょっと..." (Chotto... / [Subtle 'no'])

考えておきます (Kangaete okimasu)
This phrase translates to "I’ll think about it," but it often means "I’m not sure" or "probably not." It’s a polite way of dodging the question without rejecting it outright.

難しいですね (Muzukashii desu ne)
Literally means "It’s difficult," but it’s commonly used as a soft "no." Instead of saying they can’t do something, people will say it’s difficult, implying they can’t or won’t.
