Pera Pera Penguin 75.pdf

Last week,I went to see a movie with Ms. Ueno and her friends, Ms. Ikeda and Ms. Igarash . After the movie, we had

a chat over a meal. Every time I said something, Ms. Ueno said, " Uso~ ," while Ms. Ikeda said, " Uso-mitai ," and Ms.

Igarashi said, " Uso desho , uso~ , usso~ ." Since they said that word so many times, I went to a restroom and secretly

checked it in my dictionary. The dictionary said " uso " meant "lie." As soon as I was back, I said to them, " Uso janai

desu (What I said wasnot a lie)." Three girls started to laugh and said, "We know that." Ms. Hirayama , why did they

keep saying" uso "?

Well, I also say that word sometimes when I talk with my friends.

For some people, " uso " becomes their favorite word. In particular, it

seems that young people and those who lack sufficient vocabulary tend to

use the phrase. those girls did not mean you were lying when they said

" uso ". Let me explain " uso " for today's lesson. " Pole-san wa uso-mitai

ni Nihongo ga jozu ni naru desho (It seems a miracle that you start

speaking in excellent Japanese)."

膟 Kanji for "lie"膟

6) The phrases vary according to the person. Although some typical phrases

are selected here, it may be better not to use them too often because they

sound very informal. (Although every phrase has been translated into English,

it does not necessarily mean that they are precise equivalents.)
