Learn Spanish: Las estaciones del año (The Seasons of the Year)




こんにちは、Atsushiです。
今日の北海道の天気は曇り。
気温は22℃。

先週はとても暑かったですが、今週は少し肌寒いです。

さて、今日は、フリをする、について話します。

日本語の勉強をしていて、
ーのフリをする、という言葉を聞いたことがありますか？

今日のレッスンで出てきておもしろかったので、今日はこの話をします。

フリ、という言葉はよくカタカナで書かれますが、ひらがなでも大丈夫です。そして意味を調べると、ふるまいとかしぐさ、という意味でした。

ふるまいという言葉が転じて、ふり、という言葉になっているようです。

そして、フリをする、の意味は、本当は違うけど、そうであるかのようにふるまうこと、です。

例としては、
聞こえないフリをする
知らないフリをする
気づかないフリをする
とも使えますし、

知っているフリをする
聞こえているフリをする
などにも使えます。

どちらにせよ、状況にあわせて、自分にとって都合の良いようにしたい時にフリをするは使えそうですね。


私は英語のレッスンの時に時々、わかっているフリをして、あとで後悔することがあります。

ちゃんと勉強しないといけないですね。


はい、ということで、今回も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！

42 フリをするについて

贵重物品
父亲把五岁的儿子抱在怀里，全神贯注地看篮球赛，孩子看到运动员拼命地抢球，便问道：“爸爸，篮球一定很贵，是吗”，爸爸惊诧地说：“宝贝，你怎么会这样想呢？”孩子说：“要是不贵，他们为什么不每人买一个呢？”
valuables
The father held his five-year-old son in his arms and watched the basketball game intently. When the child saw the players fighting for the ball desperately, he asked, "Dad, basketball must be very expensive, isn't it?" the father said in surprise, "baby, how can you think so?" The child said, "if it's not expensive, why don't they each buy one?"

Extensive reading can definitely help us gain vocabulary and new expressions. Besides, it is leisure-time activity that most of us enjoy. So, in this episode, I'll recommend three books written by female Latin American authors (commemorating 8M) so that you start reading now!

Your Spanish Journey

Reading books to learn Spanish

Spanish is a very international language, there are more that twenty Hispanic countries, each of them with dozens of different accents and dialects. In this episode I would like to discuss what accent or dialect is the best for a Spanish student (in case there is actually one).
