100% Real Korean Conversation Ep.2 Restaurant, Cafe

Il cadavere della signora Luani viene scoperto nel suo appartamento: intorno a lei, per proteggerlo, si sono schierati cento gatti neri, tutti di proprietà della defunta. Vicino al corpo viene anche ritrovato un anello unisex con un simbolo celtico. Chi è l'assassino? E a chi appartiene l'anello? Il proprietario dell'anello è anche l'assassino della signora Luani? A questi interrogativi dovrà rispondere il sagace Ispettore Malvisi.

Se io fossi Sherlock Holmes

Il caso della donna dai cento gatti neri

Impersonal verbs are verbs that do not use a specific subject, but instead use the generic subject it. They’re often called “weather verbs” or “meteorological verbs” because they’re commonly used to describe the weather, like in the impersonal verb examples “it’s raining” or “it’s snowing.” 

 Words and phrases with asterisks mean that they are not always impersonal, depending on the meaning.

おはようございます。
日本語だんだんポッドキャストのゆかりです。

今日は私の"なまり"についての話です。

日本語には、地域によって色々な、なまりがあります。

英語にもありますね。

同じ英語でも、少しずつちがいます。

アメリカの英語とイギリスの英語は少しちがいます。
カナダ、オーストラリア、シンガポール、の英語もそれぞれちがいます。

私は大阪の出身です。

生まれてから、25歳まで、大阪に住んでいました。

なので、関西のなまりがあります。

関西弁を話します。

ちなみに、関西とは、大阪府、京都府、滋賀県、奈良県、和歌山県のことです。

まとめて関西と呼ばれています。

私は日本語の先生です。

いまはできるだけ、関西弁にならないようにしています。
関西弁で話すと、アクセントが全然ちがいます。

例えば、ありがとうございます。

これを、私のなまりで話すと、

ありがとうございます、です。

ほかにも、私の好きな食べ物はお寿司です。

これを、私のなまりで話すと、

私の好きな食べ物はお寿司です。

となります。

どうでしょうか？

言葉は同じです。

全然違うように聞こえますか？

私はこのような、なまりが好きです。

人それぞれ、ちがったような話し方があると思います。楽しいですね。

それでは、今日も最後まで聞いてくれて、だんだん、です。

また明日。
