AISubs v3.5
Everyone, what do you use this word for?
And what is this super scary finger-cutting scene?
Teacher, I like you.
Tonight, they will learn wonderful Japanese.
Tonight's special teacher is the modern language scholar Hideho Kindaichi.
He is the third generation of the Kindaichi family, a linguist whose grandfather, Kyosuke, and his father, Haruhiko, were also trained in foreign languages.
He is a Japanese translator.
Wow, you wrote this?
Yes, I wrote it.
It's wonderful, isn't it?
NMV.
I've never seen anyone say "I used to use it."
You didn't use it, did you?
Hayatin went to school.
I graduated from school.
Oh, you graduated? Really?
I used it properly.
You used it?
I used it.
As a weapon?
Are you such a bad person?
No, I'm not.
Oh, you're a bad person.
No, I'm not.
You just look like it, don't you?
Tonight, we will learn a lot from the Japanese- language scholar, Sarah Bredt.
First of all, something like this happened recently.
The kindergarten has been reopened for the first time in 10 years.
Has anyone used it before?
Mougen?
When I was entering high school, my grandfather congratulated me for entering high school.
This is it, isn't it?
This is it, but I didn't know how to read it.
I was playing with it, like reading where it opens and closes.
Oh, you were playing with it.
Your first appearance is Eili.
How old are you?
I'm 14 years old.
Have you used it before?
No, I haven't.
No, you haven't.
Electronic dictionary or something like that.
Electronic dictionary?
What is that?
Teacher, you look sad.
Electronic dictionary is convenient, isn't it?
It can't be helped.
Electronic dictionary is more convenient.
The kindergarten has its own national language dictionary, but it's different, isn't it?
Yes, it is.
Well, it's the biggest and biggest one.
If there is a reason for it, it is generally thought of.
The kindergarten dictionary is a little higher.
It's like the rank is higher.
National language dictionary.
There are various words that have been newly added to the kindergarten this time.
This is what I rode in the kindergarten.
Takakura Ken rides it?
Yes, it is.
That's right.
"Takakura Ken, Obama, Spielberg" doesn't make any sense even if you ride it in the kindergarten, does it?
Because it's faster to look it up on the Internet.
That's right.
So, they make it without thinking much about the Internet.
Teacher, you hate it very much, don't you?
Teacher, I hate it very much.
I hate it.
No, no, no.
In the national language dictionary, "jinmei" and "chimei" are...
They don't usually ride it.
They don't ride it?
Yes, they don't usually ride it.
They only ride the meaning of the words.
It's a dictionary, isn't it?
"gochi" has become a word that rides dictionaries, hasn't it?
What is "gochi"?
"Gochi" is...
You didn't know?
I didn't know.
Huh?
It's the first time I'm hearing it.
"gochi"?
Yes.
Huh?
Am I not Japanese?
No, you didn't say that.
You didn't doubt it that much.
You didn't say it at all.
I think I really came from a country of udon, so I don't know much about Japan.
Ah, are you from Ataoka?
She said it. She said it.
Are you from Ataoka?
That's why you didn't know.
Ah, that's right.
I didn't know what to do for a long time, but you're from Ataoka...
Ataoka...
Please write it down in Ataoka.
I got it! I got it in Ataoka!
Is "manji" really used like "manji"?
I don't know.
Is "manji" used like "manji"?
"Manji"...
You use it!
You really use it!
Yes.
When you're taking pictures or videos, you say "hai, manji" like that.
What is that?
I don't know what "manji" is.
"Hai, cheese"?
Do you know what "sensei" is?
I don't know. I don't know.
I want to know. I want to know.
Since "sensei" is a child you don't know, you must be very interested in him.
That's right.
This is "manji"?
That's right!
This is "manji"?
Everything is "manji"!
Could it be that "sensei" is...
"Manji"?
"Sensei" is "manji"?
It's "manji".
On LINE, there's something like "wara", right?
Instead of "wara", you say "manji".
"Wara" is "warau" (to laugh).
"Let's go eat dinner today. Manji".
I love it!
You can use it for both positive and negative meanings.
That's right.
When you're a little angry, you say "manji" too.
You lost your wallet.
"Manji".
What is it?
When you found it.
"Manji".
What is it?
It's very useful.
I'm getting it.
I'm getting it!
Can you use it for us?
It's been like that for a long time in Japanese.
"Aware" is like that.
I'm sorry, but I don't think it's like that!
"Aware" means "my heart moved".
But which emotion is "aware"?
It can be good or bad.
"Aware" means "cherry blossoms bloomed" or "cherry blossoms fell".
That's "manji" (Japanese calligraphy)
When cherry blossoms bloomed, it's "manji", right?
Sensei, what is it?
"Aware" (Japanese calligraphy)
It's "manji" (Japanese calligraphy)
As you can see, words are increasing every day.
Let's move on to the first topic.
Words that evolve with time and have changed their meanings.
"Aware" means "my heart moved".
Not only words are increasing, but they also evolve with time.
I'd like to introduce words that were used in different meanings.
First of all, this one.
"Lose" (Japanese calligraphy)
What does "lose" mean?
"Lose" means "to separate a house".
"Lose" used to be a different meaning, didn't it?
What kind of word was it?
Shall we protect the baby?
"Shall we protect the baby?" Why?
Because it says "protect", we should protect the baby!
What does that mean?
Irii.
I gave you a hint in kanji too, but it has a meaning like "todomaru", right?
Right.
And "tambou" is probably related to "tambou".
And "mamoru" is short and long, right?
So...
I don't know.
I don't know either.
I think you just said what you could think of.
I don't know.
You...
I started talking, but...
The correct answer is...
The original meaning is "protecting the house where the master is not at home".
So it means "there is", right?
Right, right.
It's not "there isn't", but "there is someone else".
So it's like "rusuban".
While the master is not there, you go in there and protect the house.
So it's the opposite of "koma".
It means "rusuban".
I see.
So it's "todomaru", "mamoru", right?
Right.
So it's "mamotteru".
It's correct to start with kanji.
The way you do it.
Let's move on to the next word.
This one.
"binyo".
"binyo" doesn't sound good.
"obake no namae" (ghost's name)
"binyo"? What kind of nuance is it?
"momone" (thigh)
"tabemono" (food)
"itameru you" (fry)
Does it sound like "charhan" (fried rice)?
It doesn't sound like it.
"bi" means "very small".
"bi" really means "very small".
"binyo" actually means "very little".
"binyo" is "small".
I don't know.
You don't know?
Why do you keep pointing at the correct answer?
Let's see the correct answer.
This one.
"binyo" means "beauty" and "taste" are excellent.
It's a good meaning.
It's a good thing.
"binyo" means "it's good".
It's a good meaning.
That's "binyo".
When I saw this picture and I was told that the color of this picture is "binyo", I was like "what?"
It's not good, right?
But...
Sensei, please.
Sensei.
Sensei, you're doing something bad like this.
It's different from what you think.
It's SNS.
Sensei, isn't it a culture that doesn't exist in Japan?
It's SNS.
"kodawari" (specific)
"kodawari" means "specific".
I think it means "specific".
It means that you're particular about this outfit.
"kodawari" means "specific".
What does it mean?
It means you have your own will.
It means you have your own policy.
Then what does it mean?
It's different.
Suzu.
It means "sake" and "kodawari".
"mizuwari" and "kodawari".
"kodawari" and "kodawari".
Iso-chan.
It's the opposite.
"kodawari" means "specific" and "kodawari" means "anything".
Sensei, isn't it correct?
That's right.
It's correct.
"kodawaru" means "specific".
"kodawari" means "specific" and "kodawari" means "anything".
"kodawari" means "specific".
Does it mean that it comes from a sign raised in a kabuki theater?
This kind of sign was raised in a kabuki theater.
In the first play, the protagonist appears.
In the second play, a handsome and cool salesman appears.
In the third play, a person who jokes and says strange things appears.
I see.
So, it comes from a kabuki sign.
There are many words coming from kabuki, right?
Yes, there are.
"Makunouchi bento" means "a bento that you eat between mac and mac".
There is also the word "tochiru" which means "to fail".
In the past, when you watched kabuki, you had to say "i-ro-ha-ni-ho-he-to" from the front seat.
"I-ro-ha-ni-ho-he-to-chi-ri" means "to-chi-ri".
From this seat, you can see that the protagonist failed.
It's the easiest seat for you, so you can say "to- chi- ru" from there.
You fail.
Wow!
That's amazing!
I heard it from the minister of fire the other day.
No, no, no!
You're just saying it.
You're just saying it about yourself.
You're just looking at the camera!
"Reading the map".
It's called "reading the map" because you have to hide the numbers, but...
Yamarina!
It's like we're all doing a book-reading competition, and the person who forgot the book drops the map they were holding.
People will know!
People will know about the book!
What does it mean?
The map is already open!
You drop it three times?
Every time?
Back in the day, we didn't have "ji" or anything like that, right?
So, the map was made by "saba" and you read it.
"Saba" reads it?
Am I the only one who doesn't know?
No, I don't know either!
"Saba" makes "ji".
"Saba" moves in a group and "ji" becomes "ji", right?
When "saba" swims...
"Saba" doesn't become "ji"!
The correct answer is...
"Saba" speeds up and counts "saba" roughly.
Sensei, does "saba" speed up and count "saba" roughly make sense?
"Saba" is easy to hurt.
It's easy to rot.
It rots quickly, right?
So, if you say "one," "two," and "saba" speeds up and counts "saba" roughly...
Then, "saba" says things like "saba" has a lot of "saba"s.
And "saba" is deceived.
In other words, when you buy "saba" and say "saba" doesn't have enough "saba"s...
You call "saba" like that and "saba" is deceived.
There are various theories, but...
That's the most common way of thinking, right?
Genji's...
The bar's hostesses use it for work.
It's a common preference.
Pai
"Pai"?!
There's "Genji pai."
There is "Genji pai."
Genji didn't come to "pai" but "saki pai."
What are you saying?
I don't know what you're saying.
Maichi
In the past, there was a person named "Genshimyo."
Oh, I see.
And that person did something bad...
And "it's no good" and "now I'm a "genshina"
I don't know at all.
I don't know what "hataoka" is.
Maichi
It's a really weird one.
I don't know it at all.
The correct answer is...
From the names of characters in "Genji's Story."
Please explain this, Sensei.
The characters in "Genji's Story."
They all have a lot of nicknames.
For example, "Yuugao."
If it's their real name, it feels like a daily life.
That's why they have different names.
It's like a treasure chest.
As a meaning, it feels like it's being used as it is, doesn't it?
It's better to have a gorgeous name, isn't it?
Yubikiri Genman
Genman
You know, "Yubikiri Genman", "usotsuitara harisenbon no masu"
What do you think "Genman" means?
Shion!
It's "Yubikiri" and "Yubikiri" is painful, isn't it?
So, at that time, "Genman" comes out and "Yubikiri Genman" comes out.
"It hurts" comes out!
"Genman" doesn't come out!
And you?
Well... "Gen" probably means "punch" and "man" probably means "million of man".
"Yubikiri" means "hit" a million times, doesn't it?
"Yubikiri" means "hit" and "yubikiri" means "chase"
"usotsuitara" means "that's about it", doesn't it?
"Batsu" means "take a punishment", doesn't it?
"Sorekurai" means "that's about it", doesn't it?
I see.
Let's see the correct answer.
This one!
And you are correct!
It's really similar!
Amazing!
It means "punch" and "hit" a million times, doesn't it?
"Gen" from "Genko" means "punch" and "hit" a million times, doesn't it?
"Yakusoku yabuttara" means "break a promise", doesn't it?
"Ichimankai dottsuiteharisenbonnomashimasuyo" means "take a punishment" and "chase" a million times, doesn't it?
It's the worst!
It's really similar!
It's a torture of hell!
It was a great contract!
It was a ridiculous contract!
It can't be simplified!
What's next?
Next, we'll look at the recently popular dialect like "sodane-e".
It only works in Kansai.
Kansai dialect you want to know!
"sodane~" in Hokkaido.
Shion, you are from Hokkaido, right? Do you say "sodane~"?
I don't really remember it.
You don't remember it?
When I heard it, I didn't feel anything strange about it.
So I thought, "Maybe she just used it without noticing it."
I think there are various dialects like that.
Everyone uses Kansai dialect, right?
In fact, there are things that don't work when it comes out other than Kansai.
For example, this word is Kansai dialect, so it doesn't work elsewhere.
"hashiwa" (bridge)
It is what parents and grandparents say.
I'm from Okayama, but I've never heard of it.
啊, 그렇죠, robot Okayama.
Isn't that the same? That's right, let go of it.
Oh, let go of it.
Let go of this junk.
You just dump it like that.
No? It means "throw it away," doesn't it?
It means "throw it away," but it doesn't mean "let it go"
It means "leave it alone."
That's what I think.
How much dialect is there in Japan?
Roughly speaking, it's divided into west and east.
If you look at it in detail, there are sixteen of them.
If you look at it in more detail, there are more of them.
There are various theories.
- There are that many? - Yes, there are.
And even if you say Kansai dialect, there are various Kansai dialects, right?
Probably, since we are in Tokyo, we don't know it well,
but there are people from Kyoto, people from Osaka, people from Nara, people from Kobe...
- They're different, right? - They're different.
And even if it's only in Kyoto, there are about three more, right?
There are a lot of things we don't know for no reason in Kyoto and Nara.
It's difficult, right?
The other day in Tokyo, we took a taxi and it didn't say "suji" about the road.
- Please go into that "suji" on the right. - Please!
- It's not "suji". - It's "touri".
- Like "toudouri". - It's "suji" only.
- Kansai people say "jibun", don't they? - I don't know about that.
- You don't know about it? - Is it about me or about me?
- Basically, it's about you, right? - Basically, it's about me.
- It's about you, right? In Tokyo. - When I talk with people like Sama-san,
- I say "jibun, koukoto surun ka?" - Yes, yes.
- "douyattara kubetsu dekini no?" - I see.
- But I think Kansai people know about it. - Yes, I think they know about it.
- But we can't use it. - I see.
- It's about you, right? - Which one?
- Don't blame Sensei!
- Why do you give him quizzes? - About Sensei...
- "Jibun, chotto hageteru ya?" - It's definitely Sensei!
- Which one is it? - Which one doesn't know about it?
- It's not like that! - It's definitely Sensei!
- "Omae wa kou shiteru ya?" - I know it!
- I know it! - I feel bad for you.
- The way girls say "suki" also changes with dialects. - Yes, it does.
- The way rural girls say it is cute. - Dialects are...
- They are real, right? - Yes.
- They sound like it's rooted. - I see.
- So it sounds like it's true. - I see.
- It sounds like a lie when you use a common language. - Yes.
- Like "aishiteru" sounds like a lie. - Yes, yes.
- But when you say it in dialects, it makes my heart pound. - I see.
Ibaraki Prefecture is "sukidappeyo".
sukidappeyo
Sensei, Sensei, "sukidappeyo"
Sensei, "sukidappeyo"
But I feel like she said it seriously, right?
Yes, yes, yes.
And Shion?
Since I'm from Hokkaido, "hideho" "namara" "daisukidappesa"
Sensei, are you eating?
Now, let's announce this week's "kashiko" "zenzendapeda" "bakako" candidates.
It's either a reward or a punishment game.
I'll announce it now.
This week's "kashiko" is...
antan
"genman" "genman" was great.
That's right.
And this week's "bakako" candidates are...
"maichi" and "renapyo"
"maichi" made "saba" and "ji" with her mouth.
And "renapyo" was all "ataoka"
Why? I'm a teacher like you.
All comments were "ataoka" "ATAOKA"
This week, you'll have a tongue-twister speed- reading competition.
You'll say a word and look up the meaning of it.
The one who finishes it first wins.
The first word is...
"idol" "idol"
Start!
I did this in elementary school.
I practiced this a lot in class.
Raise your hand if you found it.
I found it! I did it!
Please read it.
"idol" is...
someone you admire, admire, love and love again.
I'll say it's negative.
Okay!
You don't look like you're worshiped that much.
I'm worshiped a lot.
Really?
Yes.
The second word is...
"Love" "Lengai"
Start!
"Love" "Lengai"
How is it?
Okay!
To certain sacrifices,
even if you sacrifice everything else,
with love that makes you feel like you have no regrets,
always thinking about others,
wanting to be together,
wanting to share a world just for you two,
being happy that it came true,
but still,
doubts,
fearing of them arising,
looking at it like that.
Correct!
With that said, the prize will be determined every day!
I have no eyes!
What are you doing?
I'll forget about it.
Next time, we'll look at the famous charisma trainer's muscle training effects!
If you don't train your muscles, you'll get sick?!
Transform into a beautiful body by summer!
Training at home is a must!
Muscle!
Training!
