It's not difficult to create a learning story and jump to complicated grammatical structures early on, just so the author doesn't have a hard time writing. But it's very difficult to fit your writing into a well structured teaching plan, so that the student doesn't have too much trouble learning German.

We did it the hard way. Hard for us, easy for you: Luckily there's only a little bit of grammar per episode for you to learn. If you're curious about our motivations behind putting in so much effort, go to german-stories.com/the-best-way-to-learn-german

こんばんは！Atsushiです。
今回も慣用句シリーズでいきます。

今日は肩を使った慣用句です。
今日も3つ話します。

① 肩の荷が下りる ーかたのにがおりる
これは、責任などから解放されて、気持ちが楽になる、という意味です。
例えば、
ーこの大役が終わって肩の荷が下りた。
ーこの仕事をやめて、ようやく肩の荷が下りた。
などと使います。


② 肩を落とす ーかたをおとす
これは、がっかりすること、を指す意味です。
例えば、
ー大切な試験に落ちた彼は、大きく肩を落とした。
ー彼はずっと好きだった彼女に振られ、大きく肩を落とした。
などと使います。

③ 肩を持つ ーかたをもつ
これは、対立している人の一方の味方をすること、などの意味です。
例えば、
ーそうやっていつもあの人の肩を持って！とか、
ーあの部長はいつも彼の肩を持つよね。
とか、言います。



肩は責任、期待のようなイメージとして捉えられていることが多いです。他の国ではどうなんでしょうか。気になりますね。

ということで、いかがだったでしょうか。
今回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！
