はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストの19回目です。やっとitalkiのビデオをアップデートしました。レッスンの内容も少しアップデートしました。リーディングのクラスを取る生徒さんが少なくなっていたので、代わりにJLPTのクラスを作りました。会話のクラスと文法のクラスは、今まで通り続けます。

Hello, this is episode 19 of season 2 of my podcast. I have finally updated the italki video. I have also updated my lessons a bit. As fewer students were taking the reading class, I created a JLPT class instead. The conversation and grammar classes will continue as before.

今日は回転寿司の話をします。日本ではレストランや、スーパーや、駅など、いろいろなところで寿司が買えます。なので、高い寿司と安い寿司があります。回転寿司は、一般的に、安い寿司が食べられるレストランです。安いので、学生や、子供がいる家族に人気です。一方で、マナーが悪い客が問題になっています。今年の１月、高校生が回転寿司で迷惑なことをして、SNSにアップロードする事件がありました。それから回転寿司のイメージが悪くなってしまい、日本では少し人気がなくなっています。

Today I will talk about kaitenzushi (conveyor belt sushi). In Japan, you can buy sushi at restaurants, supermarkets, train stations and many other places. So there is expensive sushi and cheap sushi. Kaitenzushi is generally a restaurant where you can eat cheap sushi. Because it is inexpensive, it is popular with students and families with children. On the other hand, customers with bad manners have become a problem. In January this year, there was an incident in which a high school student behaved badly at a kaitenzushi restaurant and uploaded it to social networking sites. Since then, the image of kaitenzushi has been tarnished and it has become a little less popular in Japan.

だけど、最近の回転寿司はとても便利です。回転寿司のチェーンは、ハイテク化が進んでいます。レストランで順番を待ったり、注文をしたり、お金を払ったりするプロセスを、全てセルフサービスで行える店があります。私は先週、初めて近所の回転寿司に行きました。便利で驚きました。座ったまま何でもできて、私が子供の頃行った回転寿司とは全然違いました。このチェーンでは、仕事を全部AIに任せて、完全に無人にする計画があるそうです。「無人」とは、まったく人がいないことです。SFみたいですね。

S2Ep19. 回転寿司

Moltissimi studenti di italiano, ogni volta che devono utilizzare tempi composti come il passato prossimo o altri tempi verbali come il futuro remoto (ebbene sì, in italiano abbiamo due tempi verbali per il futuro e non te la caverai se userai soltanto il futuro semplice :p ) sono assaliti dal dubbio amletico su quale ausiliare scegliere tra essere e avere, come può capitare a un appassionato di cucina campana, appena arrivato nel centro di Napoli, nel perenne dubbio se prima mangiare una crocchè o una sfogliatella. 

La situazione con i verbi tuttavia è più semplice e possiamo affermare che: 

-in alcuni casi ci sono regole precise sull'uso dell'ausiliare.

- in altri casi non esistono proprio regole precise.

-essere e avere sono gli ausiliari più diffusi ma...attenzione! non sono gli unici ausiliari in italiano(in alcune forme passive si usano altri ausiliari anche i verbi venire, andare, rimanere )

Vediamo insieme le differenze:

​Ausiliare essere= -Si usa per creare la forma passiva.

Esempio: Il centro di Venezia è visitato ogni anno da migliaia di persone. 
-Si usa con la maggior parte dei verbi impersonali

esempio: è avvenuto un contrattempo che ci ha impedito di arrivare in orario.

​-Si usa con la maggior parte dei verbi intransitivi

Esempi:

Luigi è andato a comprare il pane

Narmina è uscita insieme alle amiche.


Ausialiare Avere: -È l'unico usato con i verbi transitivi.

Esempio:

-Mohammed ha aperto la porta.

-Igor ieri sera ha visto un film. 

È usato con alcuni verbi impersonali

come piovere, nevicare, grandinare (che parlano del tempo) ma si può anche utilizzare il verbo essere in questi casi come ausiliare. 

Esempio:

-Ieri ha piovuto per tre ore.

-Ieri è piovuto.

-Viene usato con alcuni verbi intransitivi

in particolare quelli che indicano uno stato mentale o un'attività fisica.

Esempi:

-Arianna oggi ha corso tre chilometri.

-Aisha ha saputo il risultato dell'esame.

Italiano espresso

Ausiliare essere o avere?

Let's learn some basic, daily words in Italian, specifically the movement verbs. You will hear a lot of examples of how to use them properly, as well.

【日本語podcast】Natsumiは、ただ普通に話したいだけ Just wanna talk naturally in Japanese

#3アメリカで出会った人の話【N1】

Script

おはようございます。

日本語だんたんポットキャストのゆかりです。

きのうは、私が今まで、どんな風に自分のことを言ってきたのか、お話しました。

昨日のポットキャストを聞いていない人は、
ぜひ、聞いてから、この回(かい)を聞いて下さいね。

今日は、【ぼく】と【おれ】について、話します。

まず、私は一度も自分のことを

【ぼく】や【おれ】と言ったことはありません。

男性と女性で、決まっているわけではありません。
私も決めたくないですが‥

【ぼく】と【おれ】をつかうのは、いまのところ、男性が多いです。

私の弟は、【ぼく】と【おれ】を使います。

はい、両方(りょうほう)とも、使います。

【ぼく】というときは、仕事のときや、
はじめて会う人と話すときです。

【おれ】というときは、家族や友達と話すときだけです。

ちなみに、私の父は【私】と【おれ】をつかいます。
仕事のときは【私】で、家族と話すときは【おれ】です。
このように、自分の言い方は、

どこで話すのか、

だれと話すのか、

それによって、ちがうと思います。

多くの日本人は、使いわけていると思います。

たまに、はじめて会う人で、
【おれ】を使う人がいます。

そのときは、どう思うかと言うと‥

失礼(しつれい)な人だな！とは思いません。

でも、丁寧(ていねい)な人だな〜とも、思いません😅

むずかしいところですね。

明日は、アニメでよく聞く、
オラ、拙者(せっしゃ)などに
ついて話します。

では、今日も最後まで聞いてくれて、だんだん、です。

また、明日！

77. おれを使うときはよく考えて/私、ぼく、おれなどの自分の言い方②

So if you and your brother were bored and had nothing to do because it was raining outside, you might say to him, "I've been in the doldrums ever since the rain started."

Have You Ever Been 'In the Doldrums'?

Your Personal Mission Statement (Personal Mission Statement or Mission Statement) is a roadmap, guiding you towards a life of purpose and fulfillment. But before you write it, take a deep dive into what truly matters. Here are some questions to spark self-discovery and craft a powerful Mission Statement:

Values:

What are my core values? (e.g., integrity, adventure, learning)
What principles are non-negotiable for me?
What actions bring me a sense of peace and satisfaction?
Passions and Strengths:

What activities make me lose track of time?
What skills and talents come naturally to me?
How can I leverage my strengths to make a positive impact?
Goals and Aspirations:

What do I want to achieve in different areas of life (career, relationships, personal growth)?
What kind of legacy do I want to leave behind?
How can my goals contribute to a better world?
Impact and Contribution:

Who or what inspires me?
What problems or challenges do I care deeply about solving?
How can I empower others to live fulfilling lives?
Reflection and Growth:

What motivates me intrinsically (from within) versus extrinsically (external rewards)?
Am I living authentically, aligned with my values?
What are some challenges or fears that might hinder my progress?
Bonus prompts:

Imagine your ideal future self. What are they doing? Who are they with?
What would my role model's Mission Statement look like?
What advice would my future self give me today?
Remember:

There are no right or wrong answers. Be honest with yourself.
This is an ongoing exploration. Revisit your Mission Statement regularly as you evolve.
Your Mission Statement should inspire and motivate you.
By reflecting on these questions, you'll gain clarity on your core values, aspirations, and the impact you want to make. This self-awareness will empower you to craft a Mission Statement that serves as a guiding light on your life's journey.
