「一気通貫」はなぜビジネス日本語になったのか
from ビジネス日本語講座
What does ikki-tsūkan (一気通貫) mean in Japanese business? Originally a mahjong term, it has become a common expression in Japanese companies, describing a process handled continuously from beginning to end. You might hear phrases such as “supporting clients from planning to operations” or “managing everything from recruitment to employee retention.” In this episode, I explain the meaning and origins of ikki-tsūkan, why this particular mahjong term fits business so well, and how to use it naturally at work. For advanced Japanese learners, understanding expressions like this offers a fascinating glimpse into the language and culture of Japanese corporate life.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------●ビジネス日本語学習者のための無料メルマガ講座https://my162p.com/p/r/odSmegng●ビジネス日本語学習者向けブログビジネスのために日本語を学んでいる人のための情報を発信していますhttps://businessnihongo555.blogspot.com/------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
