Di Bahasa Inggris artinya “moody person”, di Bahasa Jepang artinya “気分屋”. Contohnya, Hari ini teman kamu bilang “ok”, besok dia bilang “tidak ok”. Hari ini dia bilang “suka”, besok dia bilang “tidak suka”. Kalian punya teman yang angin-anginan? Ok, sampai di sini ya. Hari ini kita belajar ekspresi dengan kata “angin”. Menarik kan!
