SWE 102 Day of the Dead - The Great Taco Festival

最近日本は暖かくなって春だな～って感じる日が多くて、桜も咲いてきたよ！みんなが住んでいるところはどうかな？そういえば、桜がどのくらい咲いているかは特別な数え方をするの知ってる？桜が咲き始めたころは「開花宣言」っていうよ。

It's getting warmer and warmer in Japan these days, and the cherry blossoms are blooming! How about where you live? Oh, by the way, did you know that there is a special way to count how much cherry blossoms are in bloom? When the cherry blossoms begin to bloom, it is called "Kaika sengen" (declaration of blooming)

今年、2022年は3月17日に福岡で「開花宣言」があって一番早かったよ。そして、その次に3月20日に東京で「開花宣言」があったんだよね。北海道は4月20日ごろに咲く予定らしいよ。毎年「さくら開花予想」っていう地図があるからググって見てみてね。

This year, 2022, Fukuoka was the first to declare the blooming of cherry blossoms on March 17. The next earliest was Tokyo, which declared the blooming of cherry blossoms on March 20. Hokkaido is scheduled to bloom around April 20. There is a map called "cherry blossom forecast" every year, so please Google it and check it out.

桜が半分くらい咲けば50％咲いているの意味になる「五分（ぶ）ざき」っていうんだよね。だいたい80％咲いたら「満開」って言ってお花見をしたりする人が多くなるよ。なんで80％は「八分ざき」じゃなくて「満開」かっていうと「今、桜は100％咲いています！」っていうともう散り始めるかららしいよ。

If half of the cherry trees are in bloom, it is called "gobu zaki," meaning that 50% of the cherry trees are in bloom. When 80% of the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, it is called "mankai," and many people go cherry blossom viewing. The reason why 80% is called "full bloom" and not "hachibu zaki(80% bloom)" is because "100% of the cherry trees are in full bloom now!" means the cherry blossoms will already begin to fall.

ちなみに「開花宣言」があったらニュースでは「さくらの便りがありました」っていうんだよね。「便り」っていうのは「手紙」って意味だよ。例えば「本日、福岡から桜の便りがありました」みたいな。だいたい「開花宣言」から1週間くらいかけて満開になっていくから、もし日本のニュースを見ることがあれば注意して見てみてね

By the way, when the "blooming of cherry blossoms" is declared, the news says "there is a "tayori" of cherry blossoms". The word "tayori" means "letter".  For example, "Today, we received "tayori" of cherry blossoms from Fukuoka". It usually takes about a week after the "bloom declaration" for the cherry blossoms to be in full bloom, so if you watch the news in Japan, pay attention to it.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
上周我们学了数字一到五的一些有趣的词，今天我们继续来学习吧。
第一个是数字“六”，“六六大顺”是一句祝福语，多用于祝福中年人士家庭幸福，工作顺利，事业有成，身体健康。有一个流行语“666”，是很厉害的意思，可以用来夸人。你看到很厉害的人或事的时候，可以说“666”。这其实是口头语“溜”的谐音数字，一个人的中文说得很好，我们可以说“他的中文说得很溜。”
七上八下：指的是“心中慌乱、不安”。例如：当我第一次去见我的老师时，我心里紧张得七上八下。 
八字没一撇：一个“八”字连一撇都没有写。比喻事情离成功还差得很远。例如： 他们刚认识，结婚的事八字没一撇呢。
九牛一毛：“许多头牛身上的一根毛。形容极大数量中的微不足道的数量。”。例如： 这点损失对他来说, 只不过是九牛一毛。  
十拿九稳：指的是“做事很有把握”。例如： 如果不是十拿九稳的事，他不会轻易答应你的。
大家快把这些词用起来吧，这样你的中文就更溜了。我们下期见。
