Pera Pera Penguin 74.pdf

I got into a taxi the other day, but as the place I wanted to go was very difficult to explain, I handed a map to the taxi driver and

said, " Meiji-d - ri t - tte-kudasai " (Please take Meiji-d - ri avenue.) The driver looked at the map and said to me, " kono t - ri desu

ne " (This avenue, isn't it!) so I told him, " iie, Meiji-d - ri desu " (No, take Meiji-d - ri avenue.) Then, he pointed the map and said

again, " desukara, kono t - ri desu yo ne ?" (So, this is the avenue, isn 't it?) The car behind beeped at us and the driver 's glare

obviously meant,"Get moving!" The taxi driver was looking at me like he was confused, and I didn't know what to do. Ms. Hirayama,

" kono t - ri " means "this street," right? Why couldn't the taxi driver understand?

Actually, neither you nor the taxi driver was wrong. There are

many words that have the same pronunciation but different meaning

in Japanese. This expression " kono to-ri " has two meanings: "this

street" and "as it is." So, I think you misunderstood him. As " t - ri " is a

very useful expression, let's study it in this lesson!

Put the appropriate word in the boxes.

(艗) As I told you the whole truth, please believe me!

鋊苨

t - ri / d - ri

subete hanashitat - ri desu shinjite kudasai

(艐) Just as I heard, the food here is good, isn't it?

1) Street: e.g., 郂蹒鋊苨... Aoyama d - ri (Aoyama Street), 鋊苨... t - ri (street)

2) Traffic: e.g., 軔苌鋊苨芪貃芵芢... kuruma no t - ri ga hagesh - (The traffic is heavy.)

e.g., 邅苌鋊苨芪被芢... mizu no t - ri ga warui (The water is not running well.)

(艑) Their relationship is not what it used to be.

- ri ga - heya (a well-ventilated room)

4) The same state: e.g., 芢苂苠鋊苨... itsumod - ri (as usual)

This expression is introduced in this lesson.
