    行きたいですか？食べたいですか？

    "Do you wanna go?" "Do you wanna eat some?"
    ロス日本語でホームステイしていた時、ホストマザーがよくこういいました。
    My host mother often asked me that in the US.

    これは日本語で直訳すると「〜したい？」です。
    It literally means "〜したい？".
    なので当時は友達と「アメリカの人は何でもすぐに意思確認するよね」って言っていたんですが、それはただお誘いの表現だったんですよね。
    So I and my friend and I talked said that they might tend to ask something directly, but it's just an expression to invite or ask something in English!

    日本語では誰かを誘う時は〜したいか？とは聞かないんですよね。
    We usually don't say 「〜したい？」when we invite someone to do something.
    行きたいかどうかではなくて、行くかどうかを聞くんですよね。「行く？」とか「食べる？」とか。
    Not a will, but an act.
    きっと文化の違いによるものだと思います、違いが面白いなぁと思いました。
    I think differences of culture cultural differences can cause the difference, it's so interesting.

    アジ ダイジョーブ　Tastes Fine(!?)

    If you cook and you are told that it was "Azi Daizyobu(=it tastes fine)", you'll probably be upset, but in Palau it means "tasty".

    According to the TV show I watched the other day, lots of Japanese people moved into to Palau before the Second World War, and many Japanese expressions were introduced to Palauans. Another expression is "Syototsu(=crash)" which means "cheers!" in English. It sounds kind of funny to me.

    Language is interesting!

    手によりをかけて作った料理を「味、大丈夫」なんて言われたら悲しいですね。でもパラオ語では「アジダイジョーブ」というのは「おいしい」という意味らしいです。

    最近テレビで見たのですが、なんでも第二次世界大戦の前、パラオにはたくさんの日本人が移り住み、そこで色々な日本語が現地に浸透したらしいです。他には「乾杯」ことを「ショートツ」と言うのだとか(！)

    言葉って面白い！

    Valentine's Day and White Day

    February 14th is Valentine’s Day in Japan. Japanese women give men chocolates to show your their love. (NOT from men to women like other countries). Some give chocolates with their real love but others give them as a for business, or as an obligation. We call it “GIRI Choco” in Japanese.
    The White day takes place on March 14th in Japan. It is a special day to give gifts back to women in return of for Valentine’s Day.
    But the Japanese have a somewhat negative image partially (of White Day), because they are supposed to give it back on that day with obligation for “GIRI Choco”.
    Godiva Japan thinks White day should be a more positive day for all Japanese people. They should give it chocolate to women to show your their love and thankfulness whether they got chocolate from women on Valentine's Day or not.
    So, their campaign message is “GODIVA NEW WHITE DAY”.

    Long time no see

    It is said that Japanese people work very hard.
    Why?

    Recently I am interested in startup companies.
    It is fun to cheer on a vigorous company.
