Both the word ただ and だけ can often be translated as "just" or "only" in English. So what's the difference?

幼儿汉语：妈妈我饿了

Creo que es un mes propicio para encontrarnos con el origen de 10 palabras más usadas en español, todo esto a razón del día del idioma, Entonces, ¿qué tal si hoy vamos descubriendo el origen de nuevas palabras, que se usan cotidianamente pero que desconocemos de dónde surgieron? Y, para esto, aprovecharemos el excepcional libro “Palabras fabulosas” de Ricardo Soca..Escucha, comenta y comparte...Gracias.

ORIGEN DE 10 PALABRAS MÁS USADAS EN ESPAÑOL

You might know some basic greetings in Japanese, like Arigato. But do you know the original meaning or where the word comes from? I explain about original meaning of greeting in Japanese.

1. Arigato (Thank you)
2.Ohayo, Ohayogozaimasu (Good morning)
3.Konnichiwa (Hello)
4.Konbanwa (Good evening)
5.Oyasumi, Oyasuminasai (Good night)

Greetings in Japanese. Original meaning inside.

Do you find it harder to be nice and cooperative when you're tired? You're not alone — and there's actually science behind that feeling.

Researchers in Italy looked at how being tired affected people's brains and the decisions they made.

They looked at a total of almost 450 people. The participants all started by doing a set of similar tasks for about 45 minutes — but for one group, the tasks were made much more difficult to make the participants mentally tired.

For example, the mentally tired group was given more difficult quiz questions to answer. And while everyone watched funny videos, the mentally tired group was told to try not to smile or laugh.

Participants then played several economic games that asked them to make decisions that would give different benefits to themselves and others, like deciding how to share points in a group.

It was found that mentally tired participants were much less likely to make cooperative decisions in the games. They were also more likely to choose "antisocial" and "spiteful" options — where they could, say, choose to use some of their own points to reduce someone else's points instead of using them to help themselves or the group.

Why did this happen?

Among the mentally tired group, the researchers found a much stronger increase in "slow-wave" activity in parts of the brain used for things like planning, paying attention, controlling emotions and understanding others. These "slow waves" are similar to the ones seen in our brains when we sleep.

The researchers said this increase in slow waves may explain tired participants' less cooperative decisions.

So when you're tired after a long day, you may be less nice because the parts of your brain you need to help you cooperate are actually going to sleep!

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

北海道旅行の続きです。
2日目の話です。

スターバックスを出てからの続きですね。
そのあと、六花亭という菓子店に行きました。

六花亭、ろっかてい、というのは、北海道の有名な菓子店の１つです。そして、この帯広の店は本店です。

1番はじめにできた店、ということですね。

1933年に開業したそうなので、今年2023年でちょうど90年です。こういう古くからある店を老舗、しにせ、ともいいます。

このお店でいくつかお菓子を買いました。


この六花亭で1番人気なのは、北海道土産、みやげ、としては定番、ていばん、のお菓子は、マルセイバターサンドというお菓子です。

マルセイバターサンドは、ホワイトチョコレートとレーズン、北海道産生乳１００％のバターをあわせたクリームをビスケットでサンドしたお菓子です。

マルセイバターとは、北海道、十勝、とかち、で最初に作られたバター「マルセイバタ」の名前です。

これが本当に美味しいです！
個人的には北海道のお菓子で1番好きかもしれません。

ということで、今回は旅行の途中に行った、六花亭、の話をしました。

この旅行の続きは、また月のPodcastで話します。

ということで、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！
