#112 2025/07/03（木）~ To be born in certain months is not good? ~「早生まれ」という言葉を聞いたことがありますか？1月から3月に生まれることを、早生まれと言います。この前友達に会ったとき、2人目の子供は早生まれじゃなくて、4月から秋くらいまでに生まれるように計画したいと言っていました。実は、日本では、早生まれは不利だと考える人もいます。皆さんの国では、この早生まれのような概念がありますか？「はや うまれ」という ことばを きいたことが ありますか？いちがつから さんがつに うまれることを、はやうまれ といいます。このまえ ともだちに あったとき、ふたりめの こどもは はやうまれじゃなくて、しがつから あきくらいまでに うまれるように けいかくしたい といっていました。じつは、にほんでは はやうまれは ふりだと かんがえる ひとも います。みなさんの くにでは、この はやうまれのような がいねんが ありますか？Have you ever heard the word “haya umare”?Being born between January and March is called haya umare.When I saw a friend the other day, she said that she wanted to plan her second child to be born between April and fall, not between January and March. Actually, there are some people in Japan who think that being born between January and March is a disadvantage. Do you have such a concept like hayaumare in your country?【Today’s words】~ Why 早生まれ is said to be a disadvantage? ~Japanese school year starts in April.So, for example, kids born in April in 2023 and kids born in January ~ March in 2024are in the same grade.Kids born in April are almost one year older than kids born in January ~ March. So, especially when they’re little, it’s said that there is a gap of academic or physical ability between them. Some parents think that it’s a disadvantage.And because of the system in Japan, it’s said that it’s difficult for haya umare kids’ parents to find a nursery. These are the main reasons why 早生まれ is a disadvantage. What do you think?★This post is also available on the broadcast channel (Japanese daily tips) of my Instagram. 【https://www.instagram.com/channel/AbbOi9lyhNtGwo6A/?igsh=enhqNGRyajhobnZ5】
