58 [โœ1] It's strange weather, isn't it?
[โœ1.Adagio] Note: Japanese people are generally not good at small talk, but even if they donโ€™t know each other well, they might have a small chat with neighbours or people working in the same building. "Weather" is always a good topic to start with![00: 07]Hello everyone. Letโ€™s talk about the weather today.Repeat after me[00:14]1.  Itโ€™s a good weather today, isnโ€™t it?(Lit.: Today is a good weather, isnโ€™t it?)2.  Itโ€™s clear/sunshiny/fine today, isnโ€™t it?3.  Itโ€™s warm today, isnโ€™t it?4.  Itโ€™s cloudy today, isnโ€™t it?5.  Itโ€™s cold today, isnโ€™t it?6.  Itโ€™s cool today,isnโ€™t it?[01:08]You have no problem so far, right?Repeat after me[01:14]1.  Itโ€™s hot every day, isnโ€™t it.2.  Itโ€™s hot and humid/muggy today, isnโ€™t it?3.  Itโ€™s raining a lot, isnโ€™t it?4.  Itโ€™s a strong wind, isnโ€™t it?5.  It will be snow tomorrow, wonโ€™t it?6.  Itโ€™s strange weather, isnโ€™t it?[02:15]Then, letโ€™s answer as follows.For example,[02:19]How is the weather there?here rainโ†’ It rains (itโ€™s raining) here.OK?[02:29]1.  How is the weather there?here, hotโ†’ Itโ€™s hot here.2.  How is the weather there?nice weatherโ†’ Itโ€™s nice weather here.3.  How is the weather there?here, very coldโ†’ Itโ€™s very cold here.[03:27]4.  How is the weather there?today, muggyโ†’ Itโ€™s muggy today.5.  How is the weather there?since yesterday, rainโ†’ Itโ€™s been raining since yesterday.6.  How is the weather there?nice weather, but cold/chilly at nightโ†’ Itโ€™s nice weather, but cold at night.[04:36]Now, letโ€™s make a sentence in past form.For example,it rains, yesterdayโ†’ It rained yesterday.Ready?[04:49]1.  It snows, yesterdayโ†’ It snowed yesterday.2.  Itโ€™s hot, last weekโ†’ It was hot last week.3.  Itโ€™s chilly, this morningโ†’ It was chilly this morning.4.  Itโ€™s clear, in the morningโ†’ It was clear in the morning.[06:06]Next comes Dialogue.In the office building, Tomoko san(A) dashed and got in the elevator just before the door closed.  A man(B) inside asked what floor she wanted to go to and pressed the elevator button for her. They had a little conversation about the weather.[06:27]A:  Ah, I made it.B:  Which floor (would you like to go)?A:  9th floor please.

โœ4.Allegretto, 5.Allegro]  (You can try "shadowing" from 07:55.)  โ€œIt seems so.โ€[00:07]Hello everyone. Today, we practice ใ€œrashii (it seemsโ€ฆ apparently).Note 1: โ€œใ€œrashiiโ€ and โ€œyou(na)โ€ are often interchangeable, but technically ใ€œrashii conveys hearsay or presumption based on an indirect information. With โ€œใ€œyou(na)โ€, it can be based on either direct or indirect information and sounds a bit more certain.Note 2:  ใ€œrashii also expresses typical properties; โ€œใฏใ‚‹ใ‚‰ใ—ใ„ใฆใ‚“ใใงใ™ใญโ€ means โ€œ itโ€™s a typical spring weather, isnโ€™t it?โ€œ.[00:13]There are rumors in the office as follows.Repeat after me[00:18]1.  Higashi san seems to be leaving the company.2.  It seems that Minami san also want to quit the company.3.  The manager doesnโ€™t seem to know that yet.4.  There seems to be a drinking party on Friday.5.  Apparently the manager will also come to the drinking party.6.  It seems that the two will talk to the manager there.[01:36]Now, make a sentence as follows.For example,[01:40]Suzuki san,  car, bought with a loanโ†’ Suzuki san seem to have bought a car with a loan.Ready?[01:53]1.  โ†’ It seems that the department store in Shinjuku is on sale now.2.  โ†’ That road seems to be closed due to a typhoon.3.  โ†’ The Shinkansen seems to have stopped due to the earthquake.4.  โ†’ Apparently the concert tickets arenโ€™t selling very well.5.  โ†’ It seems that valuables were placed here.6.  โ†’ It seems that yesterdayโ€™s test wasnโ€™t too difficult.=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*= [00:07]ใฟใชใ•ใ‚“ใ€ใ“ใ‚“ใซใกใฏใ€‚ใใ‚‡ใ†ใฏ๏ฝขใ€œใ‚‰ใ—ใ„๏ฝฃใ‚’ใ‚Œใ‚“ใ—ใ‚…ใ†ใ—ใพใ™ใ€‚[00:13]ใ‚ชใƒ•ใ‚ฃใ‚นใซใฏใคใŽใฎใ‚ˆใ†ใช ใ†ใ‚ใ•ใŒ ใ‚ใ‚Šใพใ™ใ€‚Repeat after me[00:18]1.  ใฒใŒใ—ใ•ใ‚“ใฏ ใ‹ใ„ใ—ใ‚ƒใ‚’ ใ‚„ใ‚ใ‚‹ใ‚‰ใ—ใ„ใ€‚2.  ใฟใชใฟใ•ใ‚“ใ‚‚ ใ‹ใ„ใ—ใ‚ƒใ‚’ ใ‚„ใ‚ใŸใ„ใ‚‰ใ—ใ„ใ€‚3.  ใถใกใ‚‡ใ†ใฏ ใใฎใ“ใจใ‚’ ใพใ  ใ—ใ‚‰ใชใ„ใ‚‰ใ—ใ„ใ€‚4.  ใใ‚“ใ‚ˆใ†ใณใซ ใฎใฟใ‹ใ„ใŒ ใ‚ใ‚‹ใ‚‰ใ—ใ„ใ€‚5.  ใฎใฟใ‹ใ„ใซ ใถใกใ‚‡ใ†ใ‚‚ ใใ‚‹ใ‚‰ใ—ใ„ใ€‚6.  ใใ“ใง ใตใŸใ‚Šใฏ ใถใกใ‚‡ใ†ใจใฏใชใ™ใ‚‰ใ—ใ„ใ€‚[01:36]ใงใฏใ€ใคใŽใฎใ‚ˆใ†ใซใถใ‚“ใ‚’ใคใใฃใฆใใ ใ•ใ„ใ€‚ใŸใจใˆใฐใ€[01:40]ใ™ใšใใ•ใ‚“ใ€ใใ‚‹ใพใ€ใƒญใƒผใƒณใงใ‹ใ„ใพใ—ใŸโ†’ ใ™ใšใใ•ใ‚“ใฏ ใใ‚‹ใพใ‚’ใƒญใƒผใƒณใง ใ‹ใฃใŸใ‚‰ใ—ใ„ใงใ™ใ€‚ใ„ใ„ใงใ™ใ‹ใ€‚[01:53]1.  ใ—ใ‚“ใ˜ใ‚…ใใฎใƒ‡ใƒ‘ใƒผใƒˆใ€ใ„ใพใ€ใ‚ปใƒผใƒซใกใ‚…ใ†โ†’ ใ—ใ‚“ใ˜ใ‚…ใใฎใƒ‡ใƒ‘ใƒผใƒˆใฏ ใ„ใพใ‚ปใƒผใƒซใกใ‚…ใ†ใ‚‰ใ—ใ„ใงใ™ใ€‚2.  ใ‚ใฎใฟใกใ€ใŸใ„ใตใ†ใ€ใคใ†ใ“ใ†ใฉใ‚โ†’ ใ‚ใฎใฟใกใฏใ€ใŸใ„ใตใ†ใง ใคใ†ใ“ใ†ใฉใ‚ใ‚‰ใ—ใ„ใงใ™ใ€‚3.  ใ—ใ‚“ใ‹ใ‚“ใ›ใ‚“ใ€ใ˜ใ—ใ‚“ใ€ ใจใพใฃใฆใ„ใ‚‹โ†’ ใ—ใ‚“ใ‹ใ‚“ใ›ใ‚“ใฏ ใ˜ใ—ใ‚“ใง ใจใพใฃใฆใ„ใ‚‹ใ‚‰ใ—ใ„ใงใ™ใ€‚4.  ใ‚ณใƒณใ‚ตใƒผใƒˆใฎใƒใ‚ฑใƒƒใƒˆใ€ใ‚ใพใ‚Šใ†ใ‚Œใฆใ„ใชใ„โ†’ ใ‚ณใƒณใ‚ตใƒผใƒˆใฎใƒใ‚ฑใƒƒใƒˆใฏใ€ใ‚ใพใ‚Š ใ†ใ‚Œใฆใ„ใชใ„ ใ‚‰ใ—ใ„ใงใ™ใ€‚5.  ใใกใ‚‡ใ†ใฒใ‚“ใ€ใ“ใ“ใซใŠใ„ใฆใŠใ„ใŸโ†’ ใใกใ‚‡ใ†ใฒใ‚“ใฏ ใ“ใ“ใซใŠใ„ใฆใŠใ„ใŸใ‚‰ใ—ใ„ใงใ™ใ€‚6.  ใใฎใ†ใฎใƒ†ใ‚นใƒˆใ€ใใ‚Œใปใฉ ใ‚€ใšใ‹ใ—ใใชใ‹ใฃใŸโ†’ ใใฎใ†ใฎใƒ†ใ‚นใƒˆใฏ ใใ‚Œใปใฉ ใ‚€ใšใ‹ใ—ใใชใ‹ใฃใŸใ‚‰ใ—ใ„ใงใ™ใ€‚[04:46]ใงใฏใ€ใคใŽใฎใ‚ˆใ†ใซใ€ใ™ในใฆใ€๏ฝขใใ†ใ‚‰ใ—ใ„ใงใ™(ใญ)๏ฝฃใพใŸใฏ๏ฝขใใ†ใ‚‰ใ—ใ„ใญ๏ฝฃใง ใ“ใŸใˆใฆใใ ใ•ใ„ใ€‚[04:54]ใŸใจใˆใฐใ€ใ‚ใฎใƒฌใ‚นใƒˆใƒฉใƒณใ€ใ™ใ”ใใŸใ‹ใ„ใใ†ใงใ™ใญใ€‚โ†’ ใใ†ใ‚‰ใ—ใ„ใงใ™ใญใ€‚ใ„ใ„ใงใ™ใ‹ใ€‚Support the show=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=Need more translation & transcript?
