5-minute Japanese Class by Hitomi Hirayama

While discussing a new project at a meeting, Mr. Tanaka said, " sozai ga mondai desu ne ." (lit.: I guess the problem is the

ingredient.), and Mrs. Ida said, " d - ry - ri suru ka ... ry - ri o suru noni jikan ga kakarimasu ne ." (lit.: I wonder how we can cook

it. I think it takes time to cook.) Then, Mr. Takana said, " s - desu ne. jikan o kakete nitsumemash - . nitsumattara mata

uchiawase o shimasu ." (lit.: I think you're right. We need more time to boil it down. When it is boiled down, we are going to have a

meeting again.) So, I asked them, " ky - no uchiawase wa nani ry - ri desu ka ?" (What are you going to cook for today's

meeting?), but they were shocked and became speechless. Why is that?

Are you good at cooking Japanese food? As for me, I like

eating it, instead of cooking it! What you heard at the meeting

was not about cooking. They were using phrases associated

with cooking, but those expressions are actually used for

business. Since it is very interesting, let me tell you some of

them.
