先週月曜日に近所のスーパーに行くと、新しく寿司コーナーが出来ていました。私は寿司コーナーができることを全然知らなかったのでとてもびっくりしました。思わず寿司コーナーの写真を撮り、パートナーに送りました。
このスーパーはREWEという名前のスーパーで、ドイツ中にあるスーパーです。私は大きな町のREWEには寿司コーナーがあることは知っていました。でも私の住んでいる町は小さく、田舎なので、寿司コーナーができると思っていませんでした。
この寿司コーナーには2、３人の寿司を作る人がいて、そこで作って冷蔵庫に並べて売っています。サーモンやアボガドの寿司、最近人気のポケも売っています。
ドイツ人の生徒にREWEの寿司について聞くと、「ポケがとてもおいしい。」と言っていたので、近いうちにポケを買ってみたいと思います。
皆さんの町ではおいしいお寿司が食べられますか？どんなお寿司が好きですか？よかったら私のレッスンに来て教えてください。

ドイツ中：どいつじゅう　throughout Germany

I progetti segreti dell'avveniristico sottomarino Akes x3 sono stati rubati. Chi può essere stato? Un orecchino trovato sul luogo del crimine potrebbe essere un indizio decisivo per la soluzione del caso. O forse no...  Come sempre scrivete il nome del colpevole nei commenti e spiegate perchè pensate che quel personaggio sia responsabile del crimine.

Today we’re talking about “무슨 말인지 알겠어요?”

무슨 literally means “which or what”
Because “말” is “a word” in Korean, 무슨 말 can be “what word” or “which word”.
And “~인지 알겠어요?” can be translated into “do you get it?”

Let’s practice. 
Please take your cue from me. 

“무슨 말인지 알겠어요?”
“네.”

“무슨 말인지 알겠어요?”
“아니요.”
