How to compliment someone with "You're so handy!" without offending the person!


   a. Plug and play - Something that is easy to install or use without much effort.
      Example: "The new printer is plug and play; you can start using it right away."
   b. Crash course - An intensive and brief learning experience.
      Example: "I took a crash course in coding to prepare for the project."
   c. Hit the delete button - To eliminate or remove something completely.
      Example: "Let's hit the delete button on that idea; it's not feasible."
   d. On the same wavelength - To have a shared understanding or similar thinking.
      Example: "We work well together because we're on the same wavelength."
   e. Digital footprint - The trail of information left behind by someone's online activity.

Halo semua! Selamat pagi, siang, sore dan malam! Bagaimana akhir minggu kalian? 

Hari Sabtu, Saya punya rencana bertemu sama teman saya. Tapi tiba-tiba dia bilang mungkin dia masuk angin. Di Bahasa Inggris, “masuk angin” adalah “catch a cold”, dan di Bahasa Jepang adalah 風邪を引く. Jadi, Saya pergi sendiri ke toko buku dan cuci mata.
Saya tahu teman saya ini adalah orang yang angin-anginan. “Orang yang angin-anginan” adalah orang yang tidak konsisten dengan perasaannya. Di Bahasa Inggris artinya “moody person”, di Bahasa Jepang artinya “気分屋”. Contohnya, Hari ini teman kamu bilang “ok”, besok dia bilang “tidak ok”. Hari ini dia bilang “suka”, besok dia bilang “tidak suka”. Kalian punya teman yang angin-anginan? Ok, sampai di sini ya. Hari ini kita belajar ekspresi dengan kata “angin”. Menarik kan! Selamat beraktivitas ya!
