#205.Audiobook sample sentences. XはYじゃありません。

from jENI NO PIKA PIKA NIHONGO 日本語

Hello. Welcome to Jenni's Pika Pika Japanese. Today's Japanese learning episode is "X is not Y". As an example sentence, 「私はアナじゃありません」 "I am not Anna." Please listen to the audio to learn. Today I would like to share another Japanese proverb with you. In English, there's an expression that says "There's no use crying over spilt milk.", used in situations when there's nothing that can be done about something that has already happened. There is a similar expression in Japanese but instead of "milk", the word used is "water", and there's no crying involved. Interesting, right? こんにちは。 ジェニのピカピカ日本語へようこそ。 今日の日本語学習エピソードは、「XはYじゃありません」です。 例文としては、「私はアナじゃありません」 音声を聞いて学習してください。 また、今日はもう一つ、日本のことわざをシェアしたいと思います。 それは、「覆水盆に帰らず」です。 英語で既に起こったことを嘆いても無駄だという場合には、「こぼれたミルクを見て泣いても無駄だ」と言います。日本語でも同じ表現がありますが、「ミルク」ではなく、「水」を使って「泣く」という言葉も使いません。興味深いでしょう?
