Nice post ↓❓Save it 🔖 ↗ or share it ➢❗ Last post we've seen あれ are, so today we lookt at other two important pronouns, これ kore and それ sore (you can check forvo.com for the right pronunciation).
"Kore" means "this one", "this" (thing near me, the speaker and the listener). On the other hand "sore" means "that one", "that" (thing near you, the listener).
Pls remember that "kore" and "sore", very much like "are", can't be followed by a noun!
"This cat" can't be translated using "kore" for "this", we must use another word!

Finally, the word なに？（何？） nani? means "what?" and here stands for "what is it?" (the verb to be often doesn't appear in questions made in a colloquial form, that's why there's no need for a verb in "Sore, nani?").

Nice post ↓❓Save it 🔖 ↗ or share it ➢❗ Today's word is あれ (read as ah-reh, but do check forvo.com for the right pronunciation).
"Are" means "that one", "that" (thing over there, far away from both the speaker and the listener). It' very important to understand that it can't be followed by a noun, so it can't translate "that" in an expression like "that cat". But if someone asks me "Which cat?" I can reply "are", meaning "that", "that one".

Today's lesson is brought to you by Suya-hime, from Maou-jou de oyasumi (Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle).
The word is おやすみなさい oyasuminasai (look it up on forvo.com for the pronunciation).
It comes from 休み yasumi, rest, with the honorific prefix, o-, and the ending "nasai", which is a polite imperative form of the verb "to do". So, all in all, it means "Please do rest (well)", that's why it's used to say "good night" 🌃 🥱😴

Nice post ↓❓Save it 🔖 ↗ or share it ➢❗ Today's word is kind of famous. You often see it come up in anime and dramas. I'm talking about おにぎり onigiri 🍙 (o-ne-ge-re, pls do refer to forvo.com for its pronunciation, you can copy-paste おにぎり or just write "onigiri"). It means "rice-ball", but, usually, it's not a ball, like you can see in the picture. It usually has something on the inside (like a bit of salmon or tuna) and a dry seaweed on the outside, that sometimes covers it entirely... and it's delicious! 🤤😋

Nice post ↓❓Save it 🔖 ↗ or share it ➢❗ Today's word is やった yatta (read as yat-tah, but do check forvo.com for the right pronunciation).
"Yatta" is the (colloquial) past tense of the verb yaru, to do. So it means "I did it", but it's often use as an exclamation, like "Yeah!", "Awesome!", "Great!", "Urrah!" and so on.

Nice post ↓❓Save it 🔖 ↗ or share it ➢❗ Today's word is "nankurunaisa". It's actually an expression ("nankuru nai sa") and it's actually Okinawan dialect!
A lot of Okinawan ppl say Japanese speakers don't really understand its nuances: it's usually understood as "nantoka naru sa" (somehow everything's gonna be okay), which seems nice, but it's also kind of irresponsible. So Okinawan ppl like to say it's actually a way of saying "(you've done everything you could, now let's wait and see...) whatever will be will be".

Today's lesson is brought to you by Megumin, from Konosuba (kono subarashii sekai ni shukufuku wo).
The word is お疲れ様（おつかれさま）otsukaresama, roughly translatable as "Thanks for your hard work"... but it's often a greeting, when you meet a coworker in the hallway, at the end of the day or at the end of a project.
It comes from 疲れ tsukare, fatigue, tiredness, with the honorific prefix and suffix, o- and -sama.

Nice post ↓❓Save it 🔖 ↗ or share it ➢❗ Today we look at another greeting.

いってきます itte-kimasu means "to go and come (back)", so here it's used to say "I'm going, but I'll come back", meaning more or less "See you later".
いってらっしゃい itterasshai comes from いっていらっしゃい itte+irasshai. They are 2 (polite) imperative forms and their overall meaning is "Please, do go and come back". The usage is the same as "See you soon" or "Come back soon".
You can look up thei pronunciation on forvo.com ...just paste them in the search bar!

Nice post ↓❓Save it 🔖 ↗ or share it ➢❗ Today we talk about 花見（はなみ）hanami (read as ha-nah-me). It literally means "looking at flowers", but it refers to an outdoor activity, a kind of pic-nic people do to go looking at cherry blossoms with friends or co-workers, while eating something and drinking beer or sake.
