横浜の元町のタリーズコーヒーで

横浜元町ショッピングストリートの中にあるタリーズコーヒーで、＆TEA ベリーベリーフロマージュティーを頼みました♪

ここのタリーズにパソコンを持ち込んで、よくライターの仕事をしてました。

奥に入っていくと、大体8人くらい座れる電源がある大きなテーブルがあって、

そこでパソコン作業する人が多いですね。

あとは、今回私が座ったここの席も、実は壁の下の方にコンセントがあるので、パソコン作業できます。

入り口から入って右手の奥。

1人で座れる丸テーブルがありますよ^_^

Banned hiragana from Japanese license plates and why

Most Japanese license plates have a hiragana on them, but some are banned

(edit)

お (o) - looks similar to あ (a)

を(wo) - pronounced the same way as お(o)

し(shi) - the character for death (死) is also pronounced shi

へ(he) - there is another character pronounced the same way (屁) and it means fart

+ へ can sometimes be read as え(e)

ん (n) - cause it is hard to pronounce on its own

Review of one of my favorite books 🇯🇵

跡を消す means "Erase the Traces"

But what do they mean by traces? It basically means, erase the existence of what the deceased left behind.. especially if the landlord or the police found out about the dead body weeks or months later... Usually that happens when the dead person dies alone.. with no family or friends around.. they only get divorced when the smell becomes so hard to bear.. the smell of a dead body left to rot makes the whole building stinks and there will be so many worms and naturally.. the waste and the liquids of the dead body.. so that's what they do.. they cleans the houses of the deceaseds and erase their traces.. like these traces weren't here from the very beginning..

I never expected this book to hurt so much yet touch my heart in so many places.

You can see how cruel the world is..the families who don't give a shit about the dead person.. the angry landlords.. and many many more.

And because I don't want to spoil you, I will stop here so you could discover the rest of the book on your own.

This is my first time reading a book by this author and definitely won't be my last time. I absolutely love her writing style and it makes you feel like you are part of the story and feeling every emotion the protagonists feels..

She is also a nurse which isn't surprising because you could tell by reading this book that she has so much knowledge. A Lot of medical information was explained in a really easy way.

Trigger warnings: death (including infants), bodily waste, medical issues, blood, horrific scenes, corpses, suicide, insects

JLPT N5 - くなる and くする

This grammar point is very simple. You use くなる when the condition of something becomes a certain way by itself. On the other hand, くする is used when the condition of something is changed by an outside agent (either a person or a thing). In this post, let’s look at these two very basic constructions and how the Japanese works.

Here is your vocabulary:

 【The Grammar】

The grammar is very simple. First, you take an adjective or a noun and change them to their adverbial forms. For example, the adjective 長い has an adverbial form of 長く. The noun ひま has an adverbial form of ひまに.

After you make the adverbial forms of the adjective or the noun, you just put it before either なる or する. That’s it!

We talked about the く connector in this post and about the adverbial に in this post.

I should point out that while this grammar point appears in most JLPT books and websites as くなる and くする, as you can see in the picture above, nouns don’t use く! For that reason, I choose to call this point adverb ✙ なる and adverb ✙ する.

【adverb + なる】

Here are some examples with なる:

① 熱が下がって、気分がだいぶ｛よくなりました｝。

＝fever will go down and then feeling became considerably better

= My fever went down and then I felt much better.

②  この仕事が終わったら、少し｛ひまになる｝と思います。

= when work finishes, a little bit, will become free, I think

= I think that when work finishes, I’ll have more time.

③ このごろ仕事が減って、前ほど｛忙しくなくなった｝。

= these days, work decreased and so as much as before, became not busy

= These days, I have less work and so I’m not as busy as before.

④ きみは｛大人になったら｝、｛何になりたい｝の。

= when you become an adult, what want to become

= When you grow up, what do you want to be (and explain)?

Some things to notice:

In example 1, the sense is that when the fever went down, the person’s mood got better by itself.

In example 2, the condition of having more free time arises naturally when work decreases. (ひま can have the connotation of having absolutely nothing to do and can be considered rude by some people. I use the word for myself sometimes, but I never seriously refer to other people as ひま.)

Concerning example 3, the negative form of 忙しい is with 忙しくない. If you want to make THAT into an adverb, it will become  忙しくなく. This was very difficult for me when I was just beginning Japanese.

Finally, Example 4 shows that the question word of 何 can be treated as a noun. This makes sense if you think of it as a placeholder for whatever answer the listener will give. Also, because the speaker uses the word きみ we know that the speaker and listener are close. It would make sense if it were a parent-child relationship. きみ is NOT used with people that you have just met or that you don’t know well!

【adverb + する】

Here are some examples with する:

⑤（父が子どもに）もっと部屋を｛きれいにしなさい｝。

= father to his child: a little bit more the room, make it clean

= Clean up your room a bit more.

⑥ このケーキ、ちょっと大きいから、｛半分にして｝ください。

= this cake, a bit big and so make it half please

= This cake is a bit (too) big so please cut it in half.

⑦ スカートを5センチぐらい｛短かくして｝ください。

= this skirt, about 5 centimeters make it short please

= Please shorten this skirt about 5 centimeters.

Notice that examples 5, 6 and 7 all include someone (other than the speaker) making a thing (a room, a cake, and a skirt) a different condition than the current one. This is when you will want to use adverb + する.

【Conclusion】

The grammar points of adverb ✙ なる and adverb ✙ する are pretty simple to understand. That is why they are considered Level N5.  Adverb ✙ なる shows a person or a thing becoming a different condition by itself.  Adverb ✙ する shows a person or a thing changing to a different condition by a different person or thing.

Thanks for reading, and see you next time!

Rice & Peace,
