Yusuke-san, the work you do is very much appreciated! I'm learning Japanese for about 2 years (I took courses with my university) but decided to increase the intensity of my study. I'm doing lots of input right now. I've only known your channel for a few days, but I've noticed an improvement in my listening. I found this video very interesting because I'm also studying Mandarin as well. I hope you do more videos covering more 4-character idioms!
Fantastic video! As a bonus I could see again Taito, you just walked the same path my wife and me did in 2017. Looking forward to go back to Japan as soon as I can. Thank you!!!!
One of my favourite japanese proverbs is the following: 猿も木から落ちる saru mo ki kara ochiru Even Monkeys fall from Trees. in other words: Everybody makes mistakes. (even the masters)
ありがとうございます！説明してくれた四字熟語の中でスペイン語のことわざとすごく似てるのもあります。例えば、「十人十色」。スペイン語では Para los gustos, los colores. 直訳すると「 好みには色」。色は好むことのために存在するものだから、人の好みは同じだとは限らないと言う意味です。Me salvé por un pelo (直訳: 一髪で助かった)ということわざも「危機一髪」に似ているのに驚きました。
Arigatou na Yusuke san, its very chilling learning while looking at japanese street activities.. these hiragana on the top of kanji really help and i know that efforts is a lot..
Thanks for making these! The combination of transcript + furigana + translation is SO helpful for listening practice! Also shout out to the random guy walking by with the Tricot t-shirt
Thank you Yusuke San for the views of Nippori and for the topic of 4 kanji expressions. Those expressions add color to language. They are often shrewd or humorous in tone. They help us understand the wisdom of folk people. In western languages, there are proverbs which are similar to 4 kanji expressions. An example in English: Don’t cry over spilt milk. An example in Spanish: Cada uno habla de la feria como le va en ella. Literal translation: One talks about the fair according to how one fares. Meaning/use: Our way of talking about things reflects our relevant experience, good or bad.
It's amazing how you combined listening/reading/kanji/culture into the same video and still keep it so interesting! Here's what I wrote down for my own notes (I may be wrong but this is my understanding as an English speaker) 1. ISHINDENSHIN- "You read my mind" 2. JIGAJISAN- "Toot my own horn" 3. KIDOAIRAKU- "The gamut of emotions" 4. KIKIIPPATSU- "By the skin of my teeth" 5. HAPPOBIJIN- "Wolf in sheep's clothing"
It seems you have learned correctly. I sincerely support people like you who work hard and earnestly to learn Japanese. I trust that one day you will succeed in Japanese society.
Ishin Denshin is like using the shorthand or American slang "Same". The window in the car fogs up, so before you can roll the window down to mitigate this, the driver does. You might say "same". It's sort of obtuse, in a way that is difficult to convey, but this is the kind of cultural parallel that Ishin Denshin evokes. In the same car, during the summer, the passenger might sigh in dismay and turn the air conditioning on in the car before sighing again in relief. The driver might say something like "Same", which is very much conveying emotions or feelings without words. I think I understand it this way, anyway I hope I do. There are other ways in English to describe this kind of thing, like, "You read my mind" which is a very common phrase in American English at least and is a more inter-generational expression. Kiki Ippatsu: That was close or "a close call", "a near thing". With Youske's example, I think most English speakers would understand a "near miss" and this four character idiom translates very well. "I had a close call on the freeway today: this semi-truck jack-knifed right after I went by." Or, "Did you see that traffic? Glad I left when I did, that was a close call." I love the insight that, by learning four character idioms, people will open up to you more. I think this is true across most cultures who rely heavily on this kind of speech. English is very difficult because whole topics of conversation can be had in such a way. Mixing slang and idioms together with someone who doesn't speak English natively is rewarding, so it makes sense that it would be the same for Japanese people too. I love these videos because I feel I have so much to learn, but also it shows me that I'm not so different either.
I see. That makes me think a lot. I have the impression that Americans use the word "same" more easily, I mean more... how do you say...🙄 naturally?? than we Japanese use the word 以心伝心.
No, the driver would not say "same" in that situation, unless this is some new-fangled millennial thing I'm not aware of. Someone in that situation might say "jinx", but there's a negative, though playful, aspect to "jinx" that doesn't come with 以心伝心. In any case, 以心伝心 is not slang. So probably the best equivalent, for that situation, would be "You read my mind."
Thanks a LOT for the time you take to add subtitles in Japanese and English ! I pick some vocabulary now and then, and it goes into my lesson book :) Funnily enough, in French we have the " Giri-Giri " onomatope too, but it's something you say when you tickle someone 😄

「良妻賢母」難しい言葉を知ってますね。最近では働く女性が増えて仕事や家事や育児を同時にやらないといけない苦痛から「良妻賢母」という言葉にプレッシャーを感じる女性が増えているようです。僕の考えでは「良妻賢母」は男性の理解と協力が不可欠です。

前日新たな漢字を見かけたので四字熟語の2つで覚えてみてました。「靡」で「一世風靡」と「萎靡沈滞」のです。わかんないけど一つ少なくもレアすぎないはずです。
「靡」という漢字は難しいですね。
「一世風靡 (いっせいふうび)」
多くの人が知ってる四字熟語です。
「萎靡沈滞 (いびちんたい)」
おそらく50％以上の日本人は知らない四字熟語だと思います。
ちょっとネガティブですが 僕はこの四字熟語が今の日本社会を表しているように感じます。
朝からゆうすけさんの動画ばかり流しています。中毒性がありますね！以前ゆうすけさんに天真爛漫と言われた私が通りますよー（＾ν＾）
天真爛漫(てんしんらんまん)
