Today’s Japanese Tip 🇯🇵 In English, you might say “I love it!” when you like someone’s outfit. But in Japanese, we usually don’t say whether we love it. We simply compliment the item itself: ✨すてきですね！ (suteki desu ne!) — “That’s lovely!” 💖かわいい！ (kawaii!) — “So cute!” 🆒かっこいい！ (kakkoii!) — “Cool!” 😍にあってる！ (niatteru!) — “It suits you!” Why don’t Japanese people say “I love it”? Because in Japanese, the compliment already includes that feeling. You don’t have to explain your reaction — it’s understood. So even though Japanese is said to be indirect, sometimes the meaning is simply shared without extra words. A small phrase can carry a lot.

✨ Today’s Japanese Tip ✨ When Japanese speakers hear that something good happened to you, we say 「よかった！」 — literally “It was good!” Yes, past tense. Because in Japanese, we’re celebrating that the good thing has already happened. 🎉 But in English, people say “That’s good!”, not “That was good,” even if the event is in the past. English likes to keep good vibes in the present. 😎✨ So think of it like this: Japanese: “Yay, your good news already arrived! Past tense!” English: “Yay, the good mood is happening now! Present tense!” Different languages, different vibes. Both happy. 💛

楽観的 (rakkanteki) means “optimistic” or “positive-minded.” This Japanese adjective describes having a hopeful outlook on life. Example: “彼女（かのじょ）は楽観的（らっかんてき）な性格（せいかく）です” (She has an optimistic personality).

🍁 Today’s Japanese Tip: “X no Aki” — “Autumn of X” In Japanese, we often describe autumn as “〇〇のあき（X no aki）.” Here, 〇〇 (X) just means “something you enjoy.” So it becomes “Autumn of ___.” Here are some common examples: • スポーツのあき（supōtsu no aki） “Autumn of sports” — the season for playing sports • しょくよくのあき（shokuyoku no aki） “Autumn of appetite” — the season of good food • どくしょのあき（dokusho no aki） “Autumn of reading” — the season for enjoying books In Japanese culture, autumn is seen as a perfect time to enjoy hobbies and delicious food, so we put many things into 〇〇. What’s your 〇〇のあき（X no aki） this year? 🍂😊

In Japan, there are many "Otakus" who are Stan in English. In other words, Otakus are fans of someone or characters. Do you want to learn the real Japanese Otakus' life? If you think so, let's study with me! In my lesson, you can learn how to write Japanese beautifully with your favorite Japanese words! For example: Jujutsu Kaisen, Kimetsu no Yaiba, One Piece, and so on If you like anime, manga, and so on, come on my lesson.

一日一善 (ichinichi ichizen) means “one good deed a day.” This Japanese saying encourages doing at least one kind act daily to improve yourself and society. Example: “一日一善（いちにちいちぜん）を心（こころ）がける” (I try to do one good deed a day).

🌤️ Today’s Japanese Tip: What is いいてんき ? In Japanese, いいてんき（ii tenki）: good weather, means one thing: SUNNY. Cloudy? Rainy? → てんきがわるい（tenki ga warui） *For some reason, in Japanese, we don't say “わるいてんき (warui tenki)”. Snow? → Just ゆき（yuki）. Not “bad,” just… snow. ☃️ But here’s the interesting part: In some countries, rain = “nice weather,” and in very hot places, sunny = “terrible weather.” So remember: In Japan, いいてんき = sunshine! Your definition may vary depending on where you live… and how sweaty you get. 😅
