[Diary.17.Aug] - Output and Input - We Japanese people have a lot of English words in our language with our strong accents that native speakers don’t understand. And those words even changed the meanings from the originals. We call it “Japanglish”, e.g.; “Castella” becomes to “Kasutera”, and “Beer” becomes to “Beeru” (Pronunciations are completely different) In the Japanglish words, there are two words became popular in business and academic; “Output” and “Input” In English, those words are used to refer the number of sales, and electric devices (like ‘input data’, ‘increase output’ and so on. in Japanglish however, they are used to refer “how much you practice.” For example, if you learn new words and increase your vocabulary, we call it “Input”. And then you use those words in your original sentences, we call it “output”. Study/Learn = Input Use = output It’s quite weird for native speakers, sometime make them confused. haha Are there any replaceable words? I like the way of thinking; you need to ‘output’ what you learn about, only inputting isn’t enough to memorise. And that’s why I really care about revising. Time is limited, I would rather an efficient way!
