HSK2

Made Chinese easy!

"Senin, Selasa, Rabu, Kamis, Jumat, Sabtu, Minggu, itu nama-nama hari"

Ketika saya kecil, saya diajarkan lagu ini untuk mengingat nama-nama hari. 
Apa kalian juga memiliki cara unik untuk mengingatnya?
Sejujurnya, ada satu hari yang saya tunggu-tunggu setiap minggu. 
Kalian bisa menebaknya? Ya, benar, hari Jumat!
Setiap kali hari Jumat datang, saya merasa senang karena akan ada dua hari libur, 
Sabtu dan Minggu, untuk bersantai.
Omong-omong, tahukah kalian asal-usul nama-nama hari di Indonesia? 
Mari kita bahas satu per satu!

Pertama, Minggu. 
Nama ini diambil dari Bahasa Spanyol dan Portugis, "Domingo", yang berarti "hari Tuhan". 
Juga, ada pengaruh dari Bahasa Arab "Al-ahad", yang juga berarti "satu", karena merupakan hari pertama dalam seminggu. 

Kemudian, Senin. Diadaptasi dari Bahasa Arab "Itsnaani", yang berarti "dua".

Selasa, Rabu, dan Kamis, semuanya berasal dari Bahasa Arab juga, yang berarti "tiga", "empat", dan "lima" secara berurutan.

Bagaimana dengan Jumat? 
Kata "Jumat" diambil dari Bahasa Arab "Jama'a", yang artinya "berkumpul". Di hari ini, umat Islam berkumpul untuk melakukan sholat Jumat di masjid. Kalian sadar tentang hal ini?

Dan Sabtu, hari terakhir dalam seminggu. "Sabtu" berasal dari Bahasa Arab "alsabt" yang berarti "tujuh", serta dari Bahasa Ibrani "sabat", yang artinya "berhenti bekerja". 

Setelah kalian tahu lebih banyak tentang asal-usul nama hari, sekarang apa kalian punya hari favorit lain? 
Selamat menjalani hari ini ya! ^^

Akhir minggu

『羅生門』 第五話　芥川龍之介・著
'Rashomon' #5
Written by Ryunosuke Akutagawa

申の刻下がりから 降り出した雨は、
いまだにあがるけしきがない。
そこで、下人は、何をおいても差し当り
明日の暮しをどうにかしようとして――
いわばどうにもならない事を、どうにかしようとして、
とりとめもない考えをたどりながら、
さっきから朱雀大路にふる雨の音を、
聞くともなく聞いていたのである。
雨は、羅生門をつつんで、遠くから
ざあっという音を 集めてくる。
夕闇は次第に空を低くして、見上げると、
門の屋根が、斜めに突き出した甍の先に、
重たく薄暗い雲を支ている。

朗読 『羅生門』第五話 Recitation 'Rashomon' #5

Crowds of people queued up at Australia's Royal Sydney Botanic Garden on January 23, with some people waiting as long as three hours.

And for what?

A very smelly flower.

The titan arum, known as the "corpse flower," is a tall, pointed plant that releases an unpleasant smell when it blooms. The smell has been likened to things like decaying flesh, gym socks or rotting garbage.

The endangered plant is only found in the Sumatran rainforests in Indonesia, where there are thought to be fewer than 300 of them. It only blooms every 7 to 10 years in its natural habitat.

"The fact that they open very rarely, so they flower rarely, is obviously something that puts them at a little bit of a disadvantage in the wild," said Sophie Daniel from the Royal Sydney Botanic Garden. "When they open, they have to hope that another flower is open nearby, because they can't self-pollinate."

The flower at the botanic garden is the first to bloom there in 15 years, and she's been named Putricia — a combination of "putrid" and "Patricia" — by her fans.

Putricia's online fandom grew quickly and globally. A 24/7 live stream established by the botanic garden drew close to a million views in under a week, and people on social media planned to hurry to the garden as the plant opened. In just 24 hours, Putricia's bloom — and her stench — would be gone.

As she opened, the plant heated to 37 degrees Celsius to better spread her scent. In the wild, the smell tricks pollinators into landing on what they think is rotten meat and spreading pollen between flowers.

Up to 20,000 people filed past for a moment in her pungent presence, leaning in for a sniff or taking selfies.

It was difficult to say why the flower attracted such a following — but perhaps the answer lay in the "reverence" viewers felt in the presence of "such an amazing living being," Daniel said.
