იდიომა "ყურების ჩამოყრა"  ნიშნავს დასევდიანებას, მოწყენას. To be down in the mouth. The illustration (by Kote Iantbelidze) describes the idiom in a very direct (to throw down the ears), humoristic way.

Você sabe como pluralizar as palavras compostas? Bom, neste episódio demonstraremos as regras a fim de que você possa entendê-las e utilizá-las.

No português, palavras compostas podem vir de diferentes classes gramáticas, ou seja, na palavra composta podemos encontrar um substantivo e um adjetivo, dois substantivos, um verbo e um adjetivo, um verbo e um substantivo, como também preposições entre as palavras. E cada forma, possui uma regrinha diferente, vamos observá-las? 

Primeiramente, verifiquemos as palavras consideradas variáveis e invariáveis, as variáveis são aquelas que mudam de acordo com o gênero, número e grau, como: Substantivo, Artigo, Adjetivo, Numeral, Pronome e Verbo. As invariáveis não mudam, como: Advérbio, Preposição, Conjunção e Interjeição.

Basicamente, quando se pluraliza as duas palavras: substantivo + substantivo (país-membro/países-membros), numeral + substantivo (segunda-feira/segundas-ferias) e adjetivo + substantivo (gentil-homem/gentis-homens), substantivo + adjetivo (onça-pintada/onças-pintadas) pois todas são variáveis.

Palavras compostas ligados por preposição, apenas a primeira se pluraliza, a segunda é se torna invariável: Pé de moleque - Pés de moleque (um doce feito de amendoim) 
Cara de pau - Caras de pau (que é uma expressão para identificar uma pessoa sem nenhuma vergonha). O pão de queijo - pães de queijo e O por do sol - pores do sol. Acesse para continuar com a transcrição: https://obrasileirissimo.wordpress.com/2023/12/04/os-plurais-das-palavras-compostas/

おにぎりがある棚からあるおにぎりが目についた、それは明太子だ。私は漢字が少し読める。
最初の字は[明] 明日や明るいの漢字だ、次は[太]
太いや太陽の漢字だ、最後に[子] 子供や餃子(ぎょうざ)に使われている漢字だ。写真を見ても何か全然わからない。緊張するが店員に聞くことにした。一人の店員がおにぎりの棚の横で新しいサラダの商品を補充していた。その男は若くて長い黒髪を後ろで束ねていた。インナーメッシュをしてあるようで水色の髪が少し耳のあたりから見えた。

私「　すみません、、」
店員A 「はい、」
私「これはなんですか？」
店員A「おにぎりです。」
私「このピンク色の写真の物はなんですか？」
店員A「 明太子　(め•ん•た•い•こ) です。」
私「めんたいこ？？」
店員A「明太子とは魚のたらのたまごです」
私「どんな味ですか？」
店員A「塩の味が強くて、めんたいこの風味があります。」
私「わかりました、買います。どうもありがとうございました！」

私は会話が終わったとたんどっと疲れた。緊張はまだ残っているが、汗ばんだ両手で明太子と梅のおにぎりを一つずつ持ちレジへと向かった。

I noticed a  onigiri from the shelf with onigiri, it is cod roe. I can read a few kanji. The first character is [mei], which means tomorrow or bright, the next is [tai], which means thick or sun, and the last is [ko], which is used for children or gyoza (dumplings). I had no idea what it was even though I looked at the pictures. I was nervous, but decided to ask the staff. One of the staff was restocking new salad items next to the onigiri (rice ball) shelf. The man was young and had long black hair tied back. He seemed to have an inner mesh, and a little bit of his light blue hair was visible around his ears.


I  "Excuse me," 
Staff A  "Yes," 
I "What is this?" 
Staff A  "It's an onigiri." 
I  "What is this pink thing in the picture?" 
StaffA  "It's mentaiko." 
I  "Mentaiko? 
Staff A  "Mentaiko is the egg of cod roe" 
I  "What does it taste like? 
Staff A  "It has a strong salt taste and mentaiko flavor. 
I  "Okay, I will buy it. Thank you very much!" 

I was exhausted as soon as the conversation ended. My nerves were still in place, but with sweaty hands I took one mentaiko and one ume onigiri and headed for the cash register.
