El Cafe Turco 

皆さんこんにちはミッチです。だいぶ長いことを動画の投稿をサボってしまっていました。お待ちしていただいていた皆様、どうもありがとうございます。

このチャンネルに動画を最後に投稿したのは２年ぐらい前かなと思って YouTube Video Creator のサイトに行ってみてみたら、このチャンネルに動画を投稿するのは、なんと6年ぶりですね。６年間も動画の投稿をサボってしまっていたんですね。お待たせいたしました。

なぜ6年間も動画の投稿ができなかったかと言うと、疲れてしまいました。言い訳になってしまうんですけれども、動画の内容考えて書いて、練習して、撮影をして、編集をして、投稿していたんですけれども、１０分の動画を作るにも結構ですね３時間ぐらいかかってしまうんですね。何本も投稿して行くうちに、疲れてしまったというわけです。

ただ、またこちらのチャンネルに動画の投稿を再開しようと思います。何かを長く続けるためにはシンプルにした方がいいかなと思います。なのでシンプルな動画を投稿していく予定です。

そしたら、早速なんですけれども、この動画の冒頭に『このチャンネルに動画を投稿するのは６年ぶりです』という表現がありました。スペイン語にすると"Esta es la primera vez en seis años que publico un video en este canal"にかなるかな？英語にすると"This is the first time in six years that I've posted a video in this channel"と言う訳になるかなと思います。そこで、こちらの表現を練習しましょう。

終止形と言われている動詞の形、辞書で調べた時に見出しで出てくる形、『言い切りの形』と言われていて、『する』とか『飲む』とか『座る』とか『食べる』とかがそれにあたります。それプラス『のは』プラス、期間プラス『ぶりです』で表現できます。

一緒にいくつかこの形を使って、次のスペイン語を日本語に訳してみましょう。

第１問 Esta es la primera vez en doce horas que bebo bebida alcohólica. This is the first time in twelve hours that I've had an alcoholic beverage.
→お酒を飲むのは１２時間ぶりです。

第2問 Esta es la primera vez en tres días que me cepillo los dientes. This is the first time in three days that I've brushed my teeth.
→歯を磨くのは３日ぶりです。

第3問 Esta es la primera vez en cuatro semanas que me ducho. This is the first time in four weeks that I've taken a shower.
→シャワーを浴びるのは４週間ぶりです。

第4問 Esta es la primera vez en cinco meses que voy a la escuela. This is the first time in five months that I've been to school.
→学校に行くのは５ヶ月ぶりです。

第5問 Esta es la primera vez en seis años que hablo con mi mujer. This is the first time in six years that I've spoken to my wife.
→妻と話をするのは６年ぶりです。

第6問 Esta es la primera vez en una década que pago los impuestos. This is the first time in a decade that I've paid taxes.
→税金を払うのは１０年ぶりです。

はい、と言う訳で、このチャンネルに動画を投稿するのがですね6年ぶりなんですけれども、また動画の投稿を再開いたしますので今後も応援の方よろしくお願いいたします。今日もありがとうございました。

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

【OOするのは３年ぶりです】 "Esta es la primera vez en tres años que" en japonés, "this is the first time in three years that" in Japanese

Have you ever heard the phrase, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do"?

It means you should follow the customs of the place you're visiting or the people you're with. So in Japan, for example, you should take off your shoes before entering someone's home, because it's the custom.

However, people often shorten this phrase to just, "When in Rome."

Phrases like this, where part of the sentence is not spoken but the meaning is still clear, are called "anapodotons" ("an-uh-PAW-duh-tuns"). People don't say the second part of the phrase, but everyone knows what they mean.

But why do people leave phrases unfinished?

According to Instagram linguist Adam Aleksic, it's because we like to save time and effort when talking. By saying less, we can still share the full idea, as long as others know the rest of the phrase.

Anapodotons are very common in English. Let's look at some more now!

"Speak of the devil" is something people say when someone appears just as you were talking about them. The full phrase is, "Speak of the devil, and he shall appear." But it doesn't mean you think the person who appeared is a bad person!

"It takes a village" is another example. The full phrase, "It takes a village to raise a child," means raising children is easier with help from others. It can also be used to talk about teamwork or group tasks.

"If you can't stand the heat" comes from, "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen." This means if something is difficult or stressful, you should either deal with it or stop complaining and leave!

Anapodotons may be short, but they have a lot of meaning!

Describe a business person you admire.

you should say;
Who the person is
How you know this person
What business they do

And explain why you admire them

Notice how i use the word admire 5 or 6 times while speaking, to really keep myself on topic.
