一肌脱ぐ？

5-minute Japanese Class by Hitomi Hirayama

One of my colleagues, Mr. Ikeda, has to translate materials into English. He was stressed out yesterday because he is not good at English.

When we had lunch together, he said, "I have to finish my work by this evening, but it’s impossible!" Then, barely touching his lunch, he returned

to work. When Mr. Akimoto heard that, he said, " Pole -san, hitohada nuide agetara ? (Mr. Pole, why don't you take a piece of skin off?)” I

was surprised and asked him, " ima? (Now?) koko de? (You mean here?) nugimasu ka ? (Do you want me to take my clothes off?)” Mr.

Akimoto started to laugh and said, " fuku o nugun ja arimasen yo ! (Don't take your clothes off!)” Did I misunderstand something, again?

Yes! But don't worry, Mr. Pole, " hitohada nugu "

means "to lend a helping hand." You don't really have to

take your clothes off! The word " 一 ( hitotsu )" is combined

with other words to create different meanings. Here are

some phrases that show up frequently in daily life.
