先週「舞妓（まいこ）さんちのまかないさん」という日本のドラマを見ました。漫画が原作（げんさく）だそうです。
 まず「舞妓」をとても簡単に説明すると、歌や踊りでお客さんをもてなす女性のことです。おそらくほとんどの舞妓さんは京都にいると思います。見た目で特徴的（とくちょうてき）なのは真っ白いお化粧と着物です。
「まかない」には主に二つの意味があります。一つ目は下宿や寮などの料理、そしてその料理を作る人という意味で、このドラマのタイトルの「まかないさん」はこの料理を作る人を意味します。二つ目の意味は料理人が余（あま）った材料で自分たちのために作る料理のことです。一般的にはこの二つ目の意味で使われることが多いと思います。例えば、まかない付きの飲食店のバイトでは休憩時（きゅうけいじ）にタダでご飯を食べられます。
以上をまとめると、この「舞妓さんちのまかないさん」というタイトルは「舞妓さんたちの家の料理を作る人」のような意味になります。
このドラマは台詞（せりふ）が少なく、しかもほとんどのセリフが京都弁（きょうとべん）なので、日本語の勉強になるかどうかは微妙（びみょう）ですが、日本や京都の雰囲気や文化を感じられる作品だと思います。
タイトルの説明だけでかなり長くなってしまったので、内容は次回お話ししたいと思います。
