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。


今日は、N3の漢字をやります！
民をやります！　

音読み　みん
訓読み　たみ、送り仮名はありません

意味は、人々、生活する人、とかです。

例えば、

・住民ーじゅうみん(Residents) その土地に住んでいる人

・国民ーこくみん(People of a nation)その国の国籍を持つ人　国籍ーNationality

・市民ーしみん (City residents) その市に住む人

・民間ーみんかん　(private) 一般の、公的ではない

・移民ーいみん (immigration) 他の国にうつって住む人

こんな感じですね。
これを使って例文を作っていきましょう！

・この地域の住民はとてもおだやかです。

・日本の国民はルールを重要にします。

・ここは市民が利用できる図書館です。

・公務員ではなく、民間企業に就職したいと考えています。

・移民の問題はますますむずかしくなっています。


こんな感じです。

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！
