The simple present Tense

朋友们你们好！
 
 随着圣诞节进入倒计时，节日氛围越来越浓厚了。 
 对圣诞节我们每个人都有充满期待，对吧？ 
 今天为大家准备的零食，你们试一下，边听边猜, 怎么样？ 

 我前几天在一个商店里，听到有人说她每年都会很期待圣诞节。 
 我想，我今年听过对圣诞节最好的期待理由就是她所说的那个。 
 
为什么呢？
 
 她说圣诞节跟春节不一样。春节跟家人一起，又热闹又开心。 
 圣诞节呢，在这么寒冷的冬天，很难离开被窝出门。不过，一想到圣诞节可以跟心爱的人一起度过，我们就会选择出门感受一下城市的圣诞气息。 

 很简单对不对？ 

 你呢？你期待圣诞节的理由是什么？ 
 希望大家都有一个温暖，快乐的圣诞节！

TRANSCRIPTION (explanation included)
These various expressions for negation span a spectrum of formality and tone. In the lexicon of everyday conversation, one might simply assert "no," "nope," or "nah," and even employ a touch of informality with "not gonna happen." When a matter is more absolute, phrases like "without a doubt, no" and "under no circumstances" make the position clear. In informal settings, a definitive refusal might take the form of "not a chance" or "ain't gonna happen," perhaps even with a touch of camaraderie, as in "nah, mate." For matters requiring decorum, a formal approach may involve phrases like "I'm afraid the answer is no" or "I must decline," while adding regret, as in "regrettably, no," imparts a sense of genuine consideration. Politeness tempers the refusal in phrases such as "I'm sorry, but no" and "thank you for considering me, but I'll have to say no," expressing gratitude for the offer. The witty turn of phrase adds a touch of humor to the refusal, suggesting impossibility with expressions like "I'd sooner sprout wings and fly" or "when pigs fly." In more elevated circles, the upper class might communicate their refusal with statements like "I regret to inform you that the answer is in the negative" or "it would not be fitting, I'm afraid," while maintaining an air of politeness. For royalty, a refusal is conveyed with grace and tact, as in "one must respectfully decline" or "I cannot acquiesce to that request," underscoring the formal nature of the response. Ultimately, the choice of expression hinges on the context and the level of decorum required for the situation at hand.

How To say 'NO' in various English Registers

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を楽しく勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

ぼくの日常生活の話を聞くことで、日本語のリスニングをよくしたり、新しい言葉を知ってもらえたらいいなと思います。

さて、今日は日本の祝日について。
今日2/11は建国記念日です。

日本ができた、とされる日です。

今日が祝日になったのは、1967年。
はじめの天皇が即位した日、天皇になった日のことですね。

それが、現在の2/11とされています。

それで、今は2/11が建国記念日になっている、ということですね。

神社などでは行事があるみたいですが、ぼくは参加したことはありません。ほとんどの人にとっては、普通の祝日だと思います。

みなさんの国には、建国記念日みたいな祝日はありますか？

そんな話をぜひ日本語のオンラインレッスンでお話しましょう！

お待ちしています！

ということで、今回は以上です。
最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！

ではまた！
