Makoto Magazine for Learners of Japanese #80

Makoto Magazine Series #80: The Fun Japanese Not Found in Textbooks For Beginners to Lower Intermediates: Boost Your Japanese Journey Today! Let's begin with a phrase that embodies the refined elegance of the Heian period: ?????. At first glance, you might think it has something to do with being "strange" or enjoying "sweets" due to the ????? part. However, this expression, frequently heard in Heian-period dramas, actually means "how delightful!" or "how charming!" It was often used to convey amusement or appreciation for something interesting or pleasing. In this issue, we've packed a mix of content to delight and entertain you. You might even blurt out ??????!? at points. Enjoy some laughs with our jokes, riddles, and puns, and expand your vocabulary with fun expressions. Our Prefecture Spotlight takes us to the scenic and historically rich Yamaguchi, while the Etymology section delves into the origins of ??. As always, you'll find our popular Anime Phrase of the Day and a haiku by ??(???)??(????). In Grammar Time!, we explore the versatile use of ???, and our Japanese Readers section offers proverbs for beginners and an exploration of the Heian period for intermediates.
