Today we’re talking about “무슨 말인지 알겠어요?”

무슨 literally means “which or what”
Because “말” is “a word” in Korean, 무슨 말 can be “what word” or “which word”.
And “~인지 알겠어요?” can be translated into “do you get it?”

Let’s practice. 
Please take your cue from me. 

“무슨 말인지 알겠어요?”
“네.”

“무슨 말인지 알겠어요?”
“아니요.”

무슨 말인지 알겠어요?(You got it?)

最近、スマホを見ている時間が長くなっていませんか？
日本人の成人１０００人に対する調査で約５０％の参加者がスマホ依存症になっていて、本人がそのことに気づいていないという結果が出ました。
私もレッスンのリクエストが来ているかどうかを確認するために、よくスマホを見ています。ポッドキャストを投稿した直後もどれぐらいの人が聞いているのかが気になって、スマホを見てしまいます。
私もスマホ依存症になっていると言っても過言ではないです。

このスマホ依存症の問題はリラックスする時間が減ったり、勉強や他のことに集中できなくなることだと思います。
なので、たまにはスマホの電源をしばらく切ったり、スマホを家に置いて外出したりして、”デジタルデトックス”をした方がいいかもしれません。
スマホを置いて散歩に行くと、春が来たことをもっと実感できるかもしれませんね。

Nihongo Short Story by Noriko

スマホ依存症  (Smartphone Addiction)？

나 팔다리 피부가 너무 건조해.
我手臂和腿部的皮肤太干燥了。 

너 피부가 이렇게 좋은데 건조해졌다니?
你的皮肤这么好, 怎么说干燥呢? 

요즘 바빠서 샤워 후에 바디로션을 잘 안 발랐더니 피부가 건조해졌어.
最近因为太忙, 洗完澡后没抹身体乳, 所以皮肤变干燥了。

그랬구나. 샤워 후에는 바디로션을 바로 발라야 피부 보호층이 생겨. 
原来是这样啊。洗完澡一定要马上抹身体乳, 皮肤才会有保护层。

팔뚝 手臂
건조하다 干燥
바르다  抹
바디로션 身体乳

The Grand Egyptian Museum has finally opened some of its galleries to the public, as part of a trial run ahead of the still-unannounced official opening.

The museum, a mega-project near the Giza Pyramids, which has cost well over $1 billion so far, has opened 12 halls featuring ancient Egyptian exhibits.

Up to 4,000 people have been able to visit each day since the middle of October.

The museum has been under construction for more than a decade, but the official opening has been delayed for various reasons, including the coronavirus pandemic and political problems.

The idea, which was first announced in the early 1990s, was to collect ancient artifacts from around the country in one place.

The government wanted the new museum to be outside of Cairo, the busy capital city, to make it easier to get to.

Some sections have been open since 2022 for limited tours, to test the visitor experience and the museum's preparedness.

More than 100,000 of Egypt's ancient treasures will be displayed in the world's largest archaeological museum, according to the Egyptian state information website.

The grand staircase — six stories high and with a view of the pyramids — and the commercial area are open to the public, showcasing monuments and artifacts that include sarcophagi and statues.

Other parts of the museum, including the King Tutankhamun treasure collection, are set to open at later dates.

All halls are equipped with advanced technology and feature multimedia presentations to explain the lives of the ancient Egyptians, including its kings, according to Eissa Zidan from the museum.

One of the halls will use virtual reality to explain the history of burial and its development throughout ancient Egypt.

Some of the first tourists to visit said they were impressed by the museum, which Zidan called "a gift to all the world."

He said: "The museum is not only a place to display antiquities, but it also aims to attract children to learn about ancient Egyptian history."
