今日は、"おてあらい"と“トイレ"についてです。

みなさん、トイレはきいたことがあると思います。

「すみません、トイレはありますか？」

「トイレはどこですか？」

といいます。

トイレのべつの言い方で、

"御手洗(おてあらい)"があります。

おてあらいも、トイレも、同じいみです。

おてあらいは、漢字では、
手を洗(あら)う、とかきます。

手を洗うことができる場所(ばしょ)

つまり、トイレのことですね。

私はよく、お店では、トイレよりおてあらいといいます。

お店の人に、
「おてあらいは、どこですか？」

「あちらですよ。」

「ありがとうございます。」

と言います。

私はとくに、ご飯を食べる場所(ばしょ)で、おてあらいといいます。
レストランやカフェですね。

なぜかというと・・

ご飯を食べている、ほかの人がいるので、
"トイレ"と言いたくないからです。

手を洗う場所、のいみの方が、
聞こえてもいいような気がします。

なので、ともだちの家に行くと、

「あ、ちょっとトイレかりてもいい？」

といいます。

日本で"おてあらい"、ぜひつかってみて下さいね。

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。

More and more people are once again booking flights to exciting places around the world.

But as they take their seats, many travelers will remember that spending time with other passengers is not always easy.

Travel website Only Wanderlust surveyed over 1,500 travelers about the most annoying passengers on a plane.

Nine percent of travelers agreed that people who kick your seat are the most annoying passengers. Here are the top 10 on the list.

A passenger who kicks your seat.
A passenger who doesn't smell too nice.
A passenger who talks loudly.
A passenger who pulls on — or pushes against — your seat.
A drunk passenger.
Crying babies or children.
A passenger in front of you reclining their seat.
A passenger wearing strong smelling perfume.
A passenger who doesn't wear their mask correctly.
A passenger who snores when sleeping.
Number seven on the list is a topic that is often discussed.

In the survey, Only Wanderlust asked if passengers have a right to recline their seats, and almost two out of three travelers said that they did.

The website also asked some airline companies about the right to recline. None of the airlines said they had a policy on this topic. But they recommended talking to the passenger in front or behind, or if there is an argument, asking a member of staff for help.

As for crying babies: they can't really help it. But as we get older, perhaps we can all try to think about the people around us when we're on a plane.

Luke Littler became the youngest world champion in darts history on January 3 when the 17-year-old Englishman beat three-time champion Michael van Gerwen 7-3 in the final.

"Everyone dreams of lifting this trophy," Littler said after beating van Gerwen. "I can't believe it."

The teenager has also become a sporting sensation. He's an ordinary English teenager who enjoys fast food and video games but has an extraordinary talent for throwing darts.

That talent has earned him fame and fortune. He made $1.28 million in prize money during 2024 and he added another $620,000 to that when he won the 2025 World Championship.

He has become one of the most talked about sports stars in the UK since finishing as the World Championship runner-up in 2024.

According to Google, he was the most searched sportsperson in the UK in December, and the third-most searched celebrity, behind only Donald Trump and Kate Middleton.

Littler's success has also helped bring darts back into the mainstream.

Although Littler is young, he's been working at his game for more than a decade. There are videos of him throwing magnetic darts while still wearing a diaper.

Van Gerwen was previously the youngest world champion in the elite Professional Darts Corporation competition, winning the 2014 final at age 24.

Van Gerwen said losing his record "hurt" but was full of praise for Littler.

"Every 17 years a star gets born," Van Gerwen said, "and he is one of them."

Many were already wondering if Littler can reach Phil Taylor's record of 16 world titles. Claiming a first title at age 17 will now supercharge that conversation.
