INCONTRI IN CITTÀ 3

Tutti gli animali vanno a trovare il leone, ormai vecchio e malato. Tutti tranne la volpe. Il lupo, allora, cerca di mettere in cattiva luce la volpe agli occhi del leone, ma quest'ultima si vendicherà.

Grammar Points
V-아도/어도 되다
'-아도/어도 되다' is used to express permission.
In a question, this pattern is used to ask permission from another person.
In a declarative sentence, it expresses the permission of the speaker.
verb stem's last vowels ending with 'ㅏ' or 'ㅗ' + -아도 돼요 : 가다 -> 가도 돼요.
verbs ending with '하다', 하다 -> 해도 돼요 : 전화하다 -> 전화해도 돼요.
In all other cases, add '-어도 돼요' : 먹다 -> 먹어도 돼요.

Plus.
When giving a full agreement, expressions such as "그럼요", "물론이지요", "네, 괜찮아요." are used.

Asking for permission

In this episode we go into depth about Hofstede's first cultural dimension which is POWER DISTANCE, introducing key principles of power distance which are: Organisational Structure, Meritocracy vs Nepotism, Corruption vs Accountability, Centralisation vs Decentralisation, Asymmetry and Respect, Welfare and Family. 

In the second part (exclusively on YouTube) we will analyse three nations regarding the reasons for their perceived levels on the Power Distance Index (PDI)

Script

おはようございます。日本語だんだんポットキャストのゆかりです。

私は今日、ひさしぶりに、ともだちとオンラインで話しました。
　
Zoomをつかって、はなしました。

私をいれて、4人のともだちとはなしました。

京都　きょうと
香川　かがわ
千葉　ちば
大阪　おおさか・・と、みんな、べつべつの場所(ばしょ)に住(す)んでいます。

かんたんには会えないので、Zoomをします。
ひさしぶりに会うときは、

「元気にしてた？」とききます。

「元気ですか？」とほぼ、同じです。

でも、「元気にしてた？」は、

ずっと、会っていないときも、
元気でしたか？の意味(いみ)があります。


「ひさしぶり。元気にしてた？」

「うん、ありがとう。ゆかりは？」

「私もめっちゃ元気！」

といいます。

ところで、私のともだちは、
いちばんさいしょに、

"ハロー”とか、
"生(い)きてた？"と私にいいます。

これは、教科書(きょうかしょ)には、
のっていない、あいさつですね。

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！
