plus minus
One of my friends called me to ask for some advice. His boss had told him he was
being transferred to a provincial office, but when he told his wife, she said he
would have to go there alone ( tanshin-funin ). He was upset and he asked me
how he could persuade his wife to change her mind. So, I asked him, " kazoku
ga issho ni itta ba - i, nani ga tasu de, nani ga hiku desu ka ? (If your family
goes with you, what do you get and what do you lose?)." He said, " tasu ? hiku ?"
and he started to think deeply. I didn't realize that he was feeling so upset, and I
felt sorry for him. A few minutes later, he started to laugh and said, " aa, plus to
minus ne (You mean, the merits and demerits)." One moment he looked
troubled, but then suddenly he burst into laughter. I wondered what was wrong
No, it's not what you think. He
just didn't understand what you
said. Since you said " tasu " for
"plus" (merits) and " hiku " for
"minus" (demerits), he was baffled.
Did you like mathematics when you
were in school? "Plus and minus" in
conversation is used differently
from its use in mathematics. You'll
see the difference in the examples
below.
Choose either plus or minus to make complete sentences.
