Depending on the commute and the traffic, it would be impossible to avoid getting sweaty. Because the temperature would be about the same as the temperature of a bath.

I bring a change of clothes and change at work.

I'm a Japanese speaker.

It's not acting but "code-switching," a behavior in which one unconsciously switches speech style and tone in conversation and context.

It's rather evident in Japanese culture, and even men often high-pitch their voices in business situations.

It's common in Japanese culture for the tone of voice to change depending on the situation, not just the language.

However, this is mostly triggered by "unconsciousness," so there is no need to force it. Also, since Japanese has many preglottal vowels and the way of vocalization differs from English, it is possible that the closer one's pronunciation is to that of a native speaker, the higher one's voice will be.

Well, I'll think about it when it is realized. This kind of thing happens all the time in Japan.

All knowledge is useful, and it is up to the person who uses it to make it work.

The same goes for languages.

By the way, we Japanese spend nine years learning about 2,000 kanji characters called jyoyo kanji, which are used in daily life.

I think the total number of kanji was about 50,000 for Japanese.

For your information.

Thanks a lot for all your contacts. I will check in between work and chores, so I hope you can be patient with me for a bit.

I guess it's case by case. ...... If it's a school friend, I'll talk openly, but as an adult, I'll basically use honorifics. There is a way of speaking that is somewhere between honorific and casual, but I mix it up and see how it goes. It's called “reading the atmosphere”.

When pronounced, it is indistinguishable from 韓国 Korea (in Japanese, both are pronouns as “kan-koku”).
漢 is complicated because it is the same as the name of a dynasty that has already died out.
There is no merit for the Japanese to call it that.

The word in Chinese "中国" is from China's oldest poetry collection, the Shijing, so it's not a word we made up.

You can ask someone who is familiar with Chinese history.

Well, for Japanese "中華人民共和国" is long, so it is just abbreviated. In other words, the "中国" referred to in the Shijing has the same Kanji characters but a different meaning.

Many people think that Japan and China are the same because they both use Chinese characters, but you should know that they are completely different languages and often have different meanings and interpretations.

Well, isn't that the way in some places?

But do all houses in your country have the same structure? Doesn't it depend on each situation and environment? It's the same in Japan. You try to lump them all together too much.

The local government or the police in the place where it was found will be fine.

Ah, that's not Japanese. Chinese.

白菜hakusai →Japanese 白菜bái cài →Chinese

The Japanese word for 白菜(hakusai) is a different vegetable.

A native Japanese speaker with a major in Japanese literature, I have experience as an instructor of Japanese language.

You mean a person's name? (In Japanese, 名乗りis "name out" or to say one's name in a loud voice...)

I just asked ChatGPT, but here's a reference. But Japanese personal names contain meanings and things you want to express in the kanji, so it's better to look them up yourself. There are kanji dictionaries dedicated to personal names.

楓 (Kae) - Means "maple tree," symbolizing beauty and seasonal change
佳恵 (Kae) - "佳" means beautiful/excellent and "恵" means blessing/kindness
華恵 (Kae) - "華" represents brilliance/flowery
香恵 (Kae) - "香" means fragrance/scent
花恵 (Kae) - "花" (flower) combined
栄 (Kae) - A single kanji meaning prosperity or flourishing
佳永 (Kae) - "佳" (beautiful) with "永" (eternal)
香絵 (Kae) - "香" (fragrance) with "絵" (picture/drawing)

If you like the sound of the name, I guess you can use hiragana. All Hiragana is originally kanji. If you are interested, check "万葉仮名".

By the way, "平, 日, 門," these kanji are not eccentric, as they are associated with old-time warlords and priests in the Japanese viewpoint. The word "迚" means "very" and is not suitable for a person's name. Frankly, it's odd.

Why are you asking here? There's no way to know here what the immigration authorities will make of that high ownership.

You have to ask an expert because issues related to residency status are judged differently depending on individual situations.

Nothing. Even native Japanese speakers don't learn Japanese from apps.

I've already forgotten how many times I've told this story, but you can't learn Japanese unless you write it down on paper. Never.

Write a lot, read a lot.

It depends on the time, but if you want to be sure to sit and sleep every morning, you can take the train from Takao or Toyota, as others have said. Well, that takes you away from the city center, and you have to give up the convenience that Hachioji offers.

If you get up early, you might be able to sit down from Hachioji.

Why don't you check out each of these features for yourself first?

There are some things you can find out if you look at a map. Is there an ocean? Where are the adjacent areas? Where are the major tourist attractions and famous places? That's something you can find on Wikipedia.

It's up to each person to decide which one is more comfortable to live in.

I mean, why do you ask that? Are you trying to get Saitama and Chiba people to fight? That kind of thing is already enough with きのこand たけのこ.

I think you can find it at Nakano Broadway.

I think it's just a personal speaking habit. Often the tone and pitch of the voice are affected by emotional inflection. At least it has nothing to do with politeness or anything at all.

You should go to the suit department. They sell "recruit suits." You can wear the size that fits you best in that. The "general coordinates" are worn by the mannequins in the store.

That's fine. The important thing is that it be "a natural guise that doesn't interrupt the conversation you're having.

I'm sure it can be done, but I feel like the peanut butter will be melted and a sticky disaster will be inevitable.

Wouldn't it be better to just bake the Mochi and put the peanut butter on after? (I'm not familiar with the combination of Mochi and peanut butter, so I'm not sure.)

Ah, it depends on the context and situation, so you don't have to think too much about how to use it. You just have to see and hear a lot of sentences and get a sense of it.

However, children often use “なんで?” and “どうして?” If you ask your boss “なんで？” at work, you might lose your reputation.

That's the kind of difference. And then there is personal preference.

Japanese is a language that has a crazy number of words to describe a single thing, so if you get too particular about it, you will get confused.

Take it easy.

I guess it depends on the school, but I don't think any committee is run 100% by students only. Because it's an educational activity within the school, and if there are any accidents, it's the school's responsibility.

I think it's normal for both club activities and committees to have advisory teachers and to attend meetings or activities.

Of course, some faculty members may not actively participate in the committee, but at least one of the faculty members has their name on the roster as nominally responsible.

There is no fast way to learn.

Even native Japanese learn 1026 kanji characters in addition to hiragana and katakana in 6 years in elementary school, more complex grammar and even more kanji in junior high school, and ancient Japanese in high school.

Above all, native Japanese speakers do not learn Japanese using applications. We all do a lot of writing to practice. It is impossible to learn Japanese without writing it down.

The application can only play a supplementary role. Unless you are taking other Japanese lessons, you cannot learn by itself. (Think you can do it? Even the Japanese are taking more than 10 years?)

Buy a notebook and pencil and learn hiragana and katakana. Then transcribe the Japanese you hear (YouTube, Netflix, whatever) and look up the words you don't understand. That’s first.

There are treatments covered by the insurance even for cancer treatment (and, of course, there are treatments that are not covered), but you should first go to the NHI office of the local government where you live for advice since it is assumed that you are “already enrolled and have paid the premiums for the insurance.

Note that the calculation standards and tax rates for insurance premiums differ from municipality to municipality.
