How to escape from North Korea

O português teve a língua árabe como uma boa influenciadora na sua formação. Essa realização aconteceu duas vezes… A primeira foi entre os séculos VIII e XV durante a ocupação dos Mouros na Península Ibérica, os Árabes levaram muita cultura à população, o problema era que pouquíssimos locais sabiam ler e escrever latim e a maior parte da população falava o chamado latim vulgar que depois viria a ser o português, então quem se aventura a conhecimentos acadêmicos, além de ter que saber Latim, tinha que saber Árabe, ou seja, ser bilíngue, dessa forma, uma mistura das duas línguas seria totalmente espontâneo com o passar das décadas - e também, os Árabes eram a maioria, sendo cultos ou não, assim…

Made Chinese easy!

Here are five ways to say "hi" in Chinese, along with examples of how to use them:
1. 你好 (nǐ hǎo) - This is a very common way to greet someone in Chinese, and is similar to saying "hello" in English. Example: "你好，怎么样？" (Nǐ hǎo, zěn me yàng?) - "Hi, how are you?" 
2. 您好 (nín hǎo) - This is a more formal way of greeting someone, and is used when addressing someone older or in a position of authority. Example: "您好，我是来自美国的留学生。" (Nín hǎo, wǒ shì lái zì Měiguó de liúxuéshēng.) - "Hello, I am a student from the United States." 
3. 大家好 (dà jiā hǎo) - This is a way to greet a group of people, and is similar to saying "hello, everyone" or "hello, all" in English. Example: "大家好，我是新来的。" (Dà jiā hǎo, wǒ shì xīn lái de.) - "Hello, everyone, I am new here."
4. 哈喽 (hā lóu) is a casual way of greeting someone in Chinese, similar to saying "hi" or "hey" in English. The word is derived from the English word "hello," and is often used among friends or in informal situations.
Example: "哈喽，你最近过得怎么样？" (Hā lóu, nǐ zuìjìn guò de zěn me yàng?) - "Hi, how have you been lately?"
It is worth noting that 哈喽 is not as commonly used as other greetings such as 你好 (nǐ hǎo) or 您好 (nín hǎo) in Chinese. It is more commonly used among younger people or in casual settings.
5. 嗨 (hāi) - This is a more informal and casual way of greeting someone, and is similar to saying "hi" or "hey" in English. Example: "嗨，最近过得怎么样？" (Hāi, zuìjìn guò de zěn me yàng?) - "Hi, how have you been lately?"

The Adventures of Odyssea: Ch 5.2 - Nausico

こんばんは！Atsushiです。
9月も中旬になり、少し秋の雰囲気がしはじめました。

今日は十五夜(じゅうごや)について。
私もあまりよく知らなかった十五夜について少し調べましたので、その話をします。

十五夜という言葉を聞いたことがありますか？
中国から伝わる中秋節(ちゅうしゅうせつ)が起源(きげん)だとも言われています。月を祭る行事として始まりました。

中国の唐の時代に広がったようです。
中国や台湾では今でも十五夜の行事が根付いているようです。旧暦の8/15に行われていました。秋の真ん中の満月の日に行われていたことから、中秋節、とか、中秋の名月、と言われています。

中国では、月をながめながら、月餅げっぺいを食べる習慣があったり、台湾では、焼肉を食べたりもするようです。

日本では、だんごを食べます。
ですが、例えばお盆や正月のように誰もがする行事ではないと思います。

私は小学生の時、この月見の日がとても楽しみでした。
マンションに住んでいて、月見の日は、マンションの人たちが集まって、夜ご飯を一緒に作ってみんなで食べました。

いつもは夜は外に出ませんが、この日だけは、夜に友達に会えたので、とても楽しかった記憶があります。子供の時に記憶って、本当に強く残りますね。

ということで、今回は月見、という行事について話しました。みなさんの国では、どんな行事がありますか？

ぜひ、日本語のレッスンでお話しましょう！
今日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！
