それから、もう一つ。ごめんなさい。『先ほどカメラの反対側に、さもアシスタントがいるかのように、振る舞ってしまいました。』でも実は、カメラの反対側はただの壁です。

ターゲット表現：
はい。と言う訳で、今日は先ほどあった『さも、たくさんリクエストがあるかのように......』や『さもアシスタントがいるかのように......』と言う文の、『さも+(普通形)+かのように』と言う形をマスターして行ってみましょう！

『さも+(普通形)+かのように』と言う形を使うと、
スペイン語で言うと、"(Aunque no es verdad, alguien hace algo) como si fuera/hiciera"
英語で言うと、"(Although it is not true, someone does something) as if he/she were/did"
の様な表現が日本語でできます。

応用練習：
それでは早速、この形を使って、次のスペイン語、もしくは英語を日本語で表現してみましょう。

①
スペイン語：como si supiera hablar japonés con fluidez
英語：as if he/she could speak Japanese fluently
日本語：さも日本語がペラペラに話せるかのように

②
スペイン語：como si fuera rico/rica
英語：as if he/she were rich
日本語：さもお金持ちであるかのように

③
スペイン語：como si no tuviera dinero
英語：as if he/she didn't have money
日本語：さもお金を持っていないかのように

④
スペイン語：como si él mismo / ella misma fuera la víctima
英語：as if he/she were the victim
日本語：さも自分が被害者であるかのように

⑤
スペイン語：como si supiera todo
英語：as if he/she knew everything
日本語：さもなんでも知っているかのように

⑥
スペイン語：como si supiera nada
英語：as if he/she knew nothing
日本語：さも何も知らないかのように

まとめ：
『さも+(普通形)+かのように』と言う表現を練習しました。この表現を使うと、
スペイン語で言うと、"(Aunque no es verdad, alguien hace algo) como si fuera/hiciera"
英語で言うと、"(Although it is not true, someone does something) as if he/she were/did"
の様な表現が日本語でできます。

Useful Japanese Phrases and Exercises (JLPT N4, N3 Level)

【さも+普通形+かのように】como si fuera... en japonés/ as if he or she were... in Japanese

안녕하세요, 여러분! 오늘 팟캐스트에서는 한국어에서 자주 쓰이지만 학습자들에겐 생소할 수 있는 표현
[ -가지고]에 대해 이야기해 보려고 해요. 
우리가 흔히 아는 [그래서, -기 때문에, 왜냐하면] 등의 여러 표현 외에도, 일상 대화에서 [-가지고]라는 표현을 굉장히 많이 사용해요.
영어로는 ‘because’ 나 ‘since’의 의미로 이해하면 돼요.

우선, [-가지고]는 약간 구어체적인 느낌을 주는데요, 특히 친구들끼리 편하게 대화할 때 자주 쓰여요. 
예를 들어, “아, 늦잠 자가지고 수업에 늦었어”라고 하면 “늦잠 자서 수업에 늦었어”와 비슷한 의미지만, 좀 더 캐주얼하게 들리죠.

예문으로 볼까요?
"배가 너무 고파가지고 편의점에서 뭐 좀 샀어."

여기서 -가지고는 "너무 배고파서"의 뜻이에요. 이렇게 가볍게 이유를 덧붙이는 느낌이죠.

"버스를 놓쳐가지고 학교에 걸어갔어."

“버스를 놓쳐서”라고 할 수도 있지만, [-가지고]를 쓰면 좀 더 말하는 사람의 불만스러운 느낌이 잘 살아요.

마찬가지로,
"길이 막혀가지고 늦었어."

길이 막혀서 늦었어 대신, 더 원어민스러운 느낌이 들죠.

여러분도 평소 대화에서 [-아서] 나 [-기 때문에] 대신 [-가지고]를 한번 써보세요!
한국인 친구들이 여러분의 한국어 실력에 깜짝 놀랄지도 몰라요!
